page_text: I WALTER ROYLE, of 344 Kirkhall Lane, Leigh and Bedford, Lancashire, Spinner,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is improvements in the construction of oil cans
whereby the oil used is not only economised but in case the spout gets stopped up
with any impediment it can be readily removed.
In performing my invention I form the tip of the spout in hard metal say of steel
bronze or other suitable metal and which is screwed in position into the spout. The
front of this screwed tip is bored with a hole of such a size as to permit the oil only to
flow at the desired speed and in case of any obstruction requiring to be removed from
the spout, this is readily done by unscrewing my improved tip.

page_text: WALTER ROYLE of 344 Kirkhall Lane, Leigh and Bedford, Lancashire, Spinner,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of this invention is improvements in the construction of oil cans whereby
the oil used is not only economised but in case the spout gets stopped up with any
impediment it can be readily removed.
In performing my invention I form the tip of the spout in hard metal say of steel
bronze or other suitable metal and which is screwed in position upon the spout. The
front of this screwed tip is bored with a hole of such a size as to permit the oil only
to flow at the desired speed and in case of any obstruction requiring to be removed
from the spout, this is readily done by unscrewing my improved tip.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1. is a side exterior view of an ordinary oil
can embracing my improvements. Fig. 2. is a side sectional view of the extreme end
of the spout shewing my improved tip applied thereto and Fig. 3. is a side sectional
view shewing another arrangement of the tip.
In all the views a. is the spout of the oil can and b. the improved hard metal tip.
In Fig. 1. and more clearly in Fig. 2. this tip b. is shewn screwed into a ferrule c.
(soldered or otherwise secured to the mouth of the spout of the oil can) by means of
a screwed tail piece projecting from the back of the tip as illustrated. In Fig. 3. the
screwed tail piece projects from the spout itself and screws into a corresponding
female thread formed on the inside of the tip. In both cases it will be observed that
the tip is bored through with a small hole whereby the lubricant is economised as
aforesaid and it will also be seen by unscrewing and removing the improved tip that
facility is afforded for unstopping the spout and for removing any obstruction as
hereinbefore described.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The use and application to the spouts of oil cans of an improved sinall bore tip
screwed in position and capable of removal substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
