PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combination Lamp and Oil Can.
ALFRED DAVIES Iron and Tinplate Stamping Works Marshes Road Newport
Mon. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The body of the can is furnished with a container for paraffin or colza oil and
wick for the purpose of showing a light to persons engaged in oiling machinery in
dark places enabling them to see the oil holes. The remainder of the body is for
lubricating oils.
The invention has two spouts, the upper one is for holding the wick for giving
the light and is about an inch shorter than the lower one, which is the ordinary oil-
can spout, so that the invention really is an oil can and lamp combined.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combination Lamp and Oil Can.
I ALFRED DAVIES of Marshes Road in Newport in the County of Monmouth,
Metal Worker 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 :-
Figure I is a section of my improved combination lamp and oil can. The body
of the oil can is provided with a double container one of which marked A is for a
lighting oil and the other marked B is for a lubricating oil. From each of these
containers there is a spout. The spout marked C proceeds from the container A
and is made of a suitable size for holding a wick which can be lighted at the
the terminal D. In this spout there is a slot E to enable the wick to be regulated
by means of a pin or any other suitable instrument or appliance. The point in the
container A marked F is an opening through which the lighting oil is introduced
into the container and may be closed by a screw top cork or any other suitable
means.
The spout marked J which proceeds from the container B projects beyond the
spout C for any distance that may be desired. The end of the spout marked G.
where it joins the container B is when not in use closed by a stop valve marked H.
The stop valve H. is pushed forward in the spout J. by a wire rod marked K
which is bent into a loop at the point marked L and is thence carried at an obtuse
angle to a thumb piece marked M. Pressure on the thumb piece M depresses the
rod at L thus thrusting the rod K forward and opening the valve H. The spiral
spring N has one end soldered or otherwise attached to the container B and the
other end attached to the loop L and when pressure is removed from the thumb
piece M this spring draws back the rod K closing the stop valve H. The rod K
has a suitable support and guide about one third of the distance from the point H.
to the point L so as to prevent its getting out of line. The opening to the
container B is marked O and is similar to the opening marked F.
Figure II is an enlarged section of the spout J. at the point marked G and the
stop valve H when the stop valve is open.
In thus describing my invention I do not bind myself to any particular shape of
combined lamp and oil can nor to any particular dimensions only stipulating that
the dimensions of each part shall be in proportion and suitable to the shape and
