We, HENRY BLAMIRES and JOSEPH BLAMIRES, of Phoenix Mills, Leeds Road,
Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
"
PURPOSES to be as follows:-
IN OIL CANS OR VESSELS FOR LUBRICATING
This Invention has reference to oil cans, or oil vessels employed for lubricating
machinery and other purposes by hand.
The object of our Invention is to construct such oil vessels of glass, so that they
are without scams. The glass may be of any suitable description, either common
or hardened and toughened, and provided with one or more short necks or inlets
for the insertion of a spout and air tube or valve. The short necks or inlets aro
preferably made with an inner screw thread and a shoulder to form a seat in which
a leather or other suitable washer can be placed. The bottom of the spout is also
provided with a corresponding screw thread to that formed in the necks or inlets,
so that the spout can be easily fixed in the neck of the glass vessel.
Or a metal
bush cut in two parts may be placed on the neck of the bottle, having screw
threads on the outside thereof, on which to screw the end of the spout, which spout
is preferably of drawn tubing so as to be seamless.
The advantages of employing glass vessels are numerous, for in addition to being
seamless and transparent, the quantity and condition of oil therein can always be
seen, and when empty is self-evident, and when oil is being put in the vessel it is
easy to see when full.
In order to prevent the glass vessels from being broken, we propose to guard
them by means of wire gauze, narrow strips of tin, leather, or other suitable
material, to which a handle can be attached, or handles may be cast or formed on
the bottle in the same manner as a drinking vessel.
By the employment of seamless oil cans or vessels as herein described, a great
waste of oil by breakage is prevented, and considerable less cleaning waste is used
in wiping up escaped oil.

PURPOSES," and in, what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention has reference to oil cans, or oil vessels employed for lubricating
machinery and other purposes by hand.
The object of our Invention is to construct such oil vessels of glass so that they
are without seams.
The glass may be of any suitable description either common or hardened and
toughened, and provided with one or more short necks or inlets for the insertion of
a spout and air tube or valve.
The short necks or inlets are preferably made with an inner screw thread and
a-shoulder-to-form-a-seat-in-which-a-leather or other suitable washer can be
placed.
The bottom of the spout is also provided with a corresponding screw thread to
that formed in the necks or inlets, so that the spout can be easily fixed in the neck
of the glass vessel. Or a metal bush cut in two parts may be placed on the
neck of the bottle having screw threads on the outside thereof on which to
screw the end of the spout, which spout is preferably of drawn tubing so as
to be seamless.

In order that our Invention may be better understood we herein give reference
to the accompanying sheet of Drawings, wherein Fig 1 is section of one form of
oil vessel constructed and arranged according to our Invention. The body of the
vessel A is composed of glass having a screw, thread formed on the top thereof
as will be seen in the Drawings-A metal cap B is screwed on the top of the
vessel so as to close up the end, a leather or other form of washer a being
employed to keep the vessel air tight. C is the outlet pipe and b is an air tube
both of which are soldered to the cap B. Fig 2 shews a similar construction of
oil vessel but in this case the cap B is screwed into the neck of the vessel instead
of on the outside as previously explained, a shoulder c being formed in the neck of
the vessel to receive the washer a. Fig 3 is elevation of another form of oil vessel
which will be easily understood. The body of the vessel D as well as the handle E
and outlet branch F are all composed of one piece of glass the outlet branch
having a screw thread cast on it to receive the spout G which is screwed
thereon H is an ordinary air valve. Fig 4 is similar to Fig 3 except the position of
the spout which we prefer to place at the top of the vessel, so that if the joint at 1
is not perfectly tight, oil could not escape tlierefrom when the vessel is not being
used, as the quantity of oil in the vessel would never reach as high as the joint,
by this means a constant waste of oil does not take place, as is the case with oil
cans having defective joints near the bottom.
The advantages of employing glass vessels are numerous, for in addition to
being seamless and transparent the quantity and condition of oil therein can always
be seen, and when empty is self evident, and when oil is being put in the vessel it
is easy to see when full.
In order to prevent the glass vessels from being broken, we propose to guard
them by means of wire gauze, narrow strips of tin, leather or other suitable material
to which a handle can be attached, or handles may be cast or formed on the bottle
in the same manner as a drinking vessel.

waste of oil by leakage is prevented and considerable less cleaning waste is used
in wiping up escaped oil.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The manufacture of oil cans or vessels composed of glass, made, formed, and
constructed in the manner substantially as herein shewn and described.
