PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Oil Can Spouts.
I, JIM WAINWRIGHT KAYE, of the Firm of Joseph Kaye & Sons, Limited
South Accommodation Road, Leeds, in the County of York, Works Manager do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in spouts for oil cans and has for
its object, the construction of the same in such a manner that, the spout as
constructed according to my improvement is more durable, not so easily deformed,
and the soldered joint not so readily broken as when constructed as hitherto.
In forming a spout in the ordinary manner, that is with a lap and joint soldered
by the soldering iron, there is a difficulty in giving to the spout a cylindrical shape,
by the manner in which the overlapping joint is to be effected, and the solder is
liable to be easily broken and the spout knocked out of form.
In order to obviate these defects and make the spout more durable, I construct
the spouts of two or more thicknesses of metal rolled in close contact, one thickness
overlapping the other, or I construct a double spout, one inside the other and solder
the joint by immersion into liquid solder.
By so constructing the spout, I find the strength is greatly increased and the
jointing more durable than when constructed in the manner as hitherto.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Oil Can Spouts.
I, JIM WAINWRIGHT KAYE, of the Firm of Joseph Kaye and Sons, Limited,
South Accommodation Road, Leeds, in the County of York, Works Manager, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the saine
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to certain improvements in spouts for oil cans and has for
its object the construction of the same in such a manner that, the spont as
constructed according to my invention is more durable, not so easily deformed and
the soldered joint not so readily broken as when constructed as hitherto.
In forming the spout in the ordinary manner, that is with a lap joint and soldered
by the soldering iron, there is a difficulty in giving to the spout a cylindrical shape
by the manner in which the overlapping joint is to be effected, and further, the
solder is liable to be easily broken, consequently causing leakage.
These defects are obviated by my improvements which are hereinafter described
in detail by making reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a portion of an oil can fitted with a spout made according to

page_text: Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through a spout made according to my
invention.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse section through a spout, the two thicknesses of
plate forming the spout are shewn some distance apart for the purpose of explaining
my invention, and
Fig. 4 is a similar view of a spout formed of two tubes, one inside the other.
In order to obviate the before mentioned defects and make the spout more
durable, I construct each spout A. of two or more thicknesses of metal B. and C.
rolled in close contact with each other, one thickness B. overlapping the other
thickness C, the spout is then immersed in a bath of liquid solder, thereby forming
a compact and practically seamless spout.
I may form my improved spout of two or more separate thicknesses of metal as
shewn by Fig. 4 by placing one tube C. inside the other B, the edges of the
respective tubes coming together at the joints, but the joints of the tubes are by
preference opposite or away from each other somewhat as shewn, the whole being
soldered together by immersing the spout into liquid solder as before described.
By so constructing spouts, I find the strength is greatly increased and the jointing
more durable than when constructed in the manner as hitherto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
1. The construction of a taper tube with two or more thicknesses of metal B.
and C. soldered together in such a manner that they form one compact tube, all
arranged substantially in the manner as shewn and described and for the purpose
as hereinbefore set forth.
2. The construction of a taper tube with two or more sheets of plate B, and C,
one enclosing the other soldered together so that they form one compact tube, all
arranged substantially in the manner as shown and described and for the purpose as
hereinbefore set forth.
