PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Cans or Feeders.
JAMES WALKER of No. 7 Love Lane Shadwell London E. Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Following up the Patent granted to me No. 1041, 1886-my present invention
has for its object a further improvement viz. :-the strengthening and cheapening
oil feeders or cans. This is done by casting or making in metal the shield spout
piece and valve seat in one piece of metal with a screw to fix spout with, carrying
the outlet through the body of can at A Fig. 1 in the drawing left with the
Specification of my said previous Patent. I also simplify the filler Fig. 4 of the
said drawings by constructing the well in the top of the can. The cup piece or
cover is hinged by a staple fixed to the top. The plug of the filler may be a flat
spring also fixed inside or outside to keep the valve shut, arranged to release itself
in half turn instead of being screwed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Cans or Feeders.
JAMES WALKER 7 Love Lane Shadwell London E. Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
In order that my improvements may be fully understood I make reference to
the accompanying drawings.
Fig. is the oil can or feeder made of sheet steel or iron in section.
One of my
present improvements consists of the shield or spout piece a being in one piece of
inetal and made to take the valve seat also the spout. The spout can be removed
without interfering with the can. The spout is made to fit on at B and may be
soldered on or fastened on by screw cap or ferrules as shewn Fig. V.
The shield is rivetted to the body of can or fastened by solder, or by swelling
out tube in shield at d; the whole being dipped or tinned.
The valve seat at E, Fig. 1, is formed to fit the valve. The rod is then taken in
a bend up to the thumb. bit at F. A spring is placed so that the valve may be
kept on the valve seat to prevent the flow of oil except when pressure is put on the
thumb piece.
The spring I propose to use is as shewn by dotted line at G it being
a flat spring with a hole in it to receive valve rod. The valve rod can be turned
round to prevent it going through the hole.
Another of my improvements is the stamping the well of filler in the top of can
as shewn at H also in making the cover by stamping the same into shape and
forming a tail through which a staple is fastened into the top of the can forming a
hinge as shewn at M, but this may also be made by a flat hinge and soldered to
the top of can. The screw plug J passes through the cover and screws into the
seat at K. A pin is put into plug at L to keep it fastened to the cover.
screw plug may be made to fasten into the can without a screw, by knob catch with
half a turn or more.
Fig. I represents the stamped top with cover and screw plug.
Fig. I represents the top of can with cover on it.
The
Fig. IV represents the cover with staple hinge. I may also use the spout piece
& filler for refill cans or lamps.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. The solid spout piece or shield.
2nd. The well or filler as shewn on the top of can.
3rd. The shield and filler to be used in combination with oil cans or lamps.
4th. The oil cans as described in the drawings and Specification.
