I THOMAS SYDNEY MARRIAGE of the firm of T. S. Marriage & Company of Bell
Street Reigate in the County of Surrey, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :-
These improvements have reference to metallic vessels for holding liquids such as
oil cans and kettles and the object is to produce a convenient cheap and readily
repairable holder with convenience especially in the case of oil and like holders for
distributing the contents.
The improved holder consists of a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical vessel
with closed ends, the bottom end being inwardly dished or sunk and having a beaded
edge to receive the cylindrical wall for soldering, the top is formed as a lid with
downwardly and outwardly projecting flanges the former being passed withing and
the latter resting on the upper edge of the wall. The handle plate is sunk into this
lid and is preferably rearwardly extended and the surrounding part of the lid is
substantially flat for a certain distance from the centre then it is formed as a ridge
and domed to the edges. Out of this dome springs an inclined circular orificial neck
closable by a plug of cork or other material during storage or carriage and into which
for delivery of contents a short packed or other spout of bent form or a prolonged
spout of other suitable delivery form may be inserted. The dome opposite the spout
would for purposes of boiling the contents have an air aperture to facilitate delivery.
The form of rearwardly extending handle has advantages, such as greater leverage,
facility for hooking one's fingers into the handles of several cans at once et cetera.
The form of neck or socket for spout facilitates the falling back of drips and the
avoidance of their fall onto the can walls or cover promoting cleanliness and economy.
According to a modification of the vessel it is constructed without doming to the
lid and the spout seating may be struck up out of the lid metal in part or wholly.

I THOMAS SYDNEY MARRIAGE, of the firm of T. S. Marriage & Company of Bell
Street, Reigate in the County of Surrey, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
These improvements have reference to improvements in metallio vessels for the
holding of liquids and to facilitate the delivery of the contents-such as oil cans and
kettles and the object of my invention is to produce a convenient, cheaply made,
and readily repairable holder for liquid provided with convenient means for distributing
the contents especially useful in the case of oil and liquids of like common use.
The improved holder consists of a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical vessel
having closed ends, the bottom end being inwardly dished or sunk and having a
bearded edge to receive the cylindrical wall for facility of soldering, the top is formed
as a lid with downwardly and outwardly projecting flanges the former being passed
within and the latter resting on the upper edge of the wall. The handle plate is sunk
into this lid and is preferably rearwardly extended, and the surrounding part of the
lid is substantially flat for a certain distance from the centre then it is formed as a
ridge and domed to the edges. Out of this dome springs an inclined circular orificial
neck closable by a plug of cork or other material during storage or carriage and into
which for delivery of contents a short packed or other spout of bent form or a prolonged
spout of other suitable form to facilitate delivery may be inserted. The dome opposite
the spout would for purposes of boiling the contents have an air aperture to facilitate
delivery.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shews a section of the vessel constructed of sheet metal a being the body b
the handle e the socket for the spout and d the removeable spout.
с
Fig. 2 is a plan and Fig. 3 a side view thereof.
Fig. 4 is a separate view of the removeable spout d.
The body a of the holder consists as shewn of a cylinder the bottom of which is
closed by the plate a¹ dished or recessed inwardly and having a beaded edge a², into
the recess thereby formed the edges of the cylinder drop and are soldered. The
domed top a is formed as a lid with a creased flange a projecting outwardly and a
flange a projecting downwardly concentrically with the cylindrical body, within which
this flange a is passed, the flange a resting on the upper edge and solder completes
the connection. a is an opening formed in the dome into which is passed the bottom
edge of the coned socket piece cand this socket is adapted to receive the spout stem d'
which stem is bushed with cork or other suitable packing material.
The handle base plate 6' is sunk into the dome top as shewn and extends rearwardly
at 63. The top part of the domed lid is substantially flat as at a'.
The opening c in the neck to receive the spout may be closed by a cork or stopper.

page_text: This form of rearwardly extending handle has advantages, such as greater leverage,
facility for effecting secure and easy grasp of the handle when in use or readily
hooking one's fingers into the handles of several cans at once for removal and such
like. The spout c may be turned backward as shewn in dotted lines in Fig. 3.
The form of neck or spout socket indicated facilitates the falling back of drips and
the avoidance of their falling onto the can walls or cover promoting cleanliness
and economy.
According to a modification of this vessel the doming of the cover may be dispensed
with and the lid made all substantially flat and the seating for the spout may be
formed of and struck up out of the metal of the lid or cover in part or wholly instead
of being substantially a separate part as at c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved construction or arrangement of parts of a metallic vessel for holding
liquids as set forth.
