PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Joseph Kaye, William
Cecil Slingsby, and William Leigh at the Office of the Commissioners
of Patents, with their Petition, on the 16th April 1875.
We, JOSEPH Kaye, of Kirkstall, near Leeds, in the County of York,
WILLIAM CECIL SLINGSBY, of Carleton, near Skipton, in the County of
York, and WILLIAM LEIGH, of Carleton, near Skipton, in the County of
York, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for “IMPROVE-
MENTS IN OIL CANS OR OIL FEEDERS," to be as follows:-

page_text: Specification, dated the 6th February 1864, No. 317, and has for its
object the prevention of corrosion or verdigris; also the extraction of
the stearine from the oil, which takes place when oil, particularly “fish.
oil," is exposed to a brass, copper, tin, or zinc surface. To obviate the
above we make all the interior surfaces of the can of iron or steel, which
surfaces may be either polished or black. The external portions of the
can or parts not in contact with the oil may be made of brass, copper,
tin, or zinc in the ordinary manner. We make the valve, which has
hitherto been made of brass or copper, of iron or steel, and solid with the
piston.
Secondly. Our Invention further consists in constructing oil cans or
oil feeders in such a manner as to facilitate the oiling of spindles on
spinning and other machines. For this purpose we provide a projecting
part on oil cans, which is of such a form or angular shape that the
attendant can by sliding it along the rail of the spinning or other frame
lift the bobbins, so as to admit of the "steps" or other bearings being
oiled, instead of the attendant having to lift the bobbins by hand.
Instead of the spout we by preference employ a brush, which is
attached to the oil can and placed in such a position as to receive the oil
on to it from the oil can. By this arrangement a great saving of oil is
produced.
These improvements may be adapted to any known or ordinary oil

Letters Patent, bearing date the Sixteenth day of April, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, in the thirty-
eighth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,
give and grant unto us, the said Joseph Kaye, William Cecil Slingsby,
and William Leigh, Her special licence that we, the said Joseph Kayc,
William Cecil Slingsby, and William Leigh, our executors, administrators,
and assigns, or such others as wc, the said Joseph Kaye, William Cecil
Slingsby, and William Leigh, our exccutors, administrators, and assigns,
should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and
at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle
of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN OIL CANS OR OIL FEEDERS,"
upon the condition (amongst others) that we, the said Joseph Kaye,
William Cecil Slingsby, and William Leigh, our executors or admini-
strators, by an instrument in writing under our, or one of our,
or their, or one of their hands and scals, should particularly describe
and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the
Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immc-
diately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
"
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Joseph Kaye, William Cecil
Slingsby, and William Leigh, do hereby declare the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement,
reference being had to the accompanying Drawings, and to the letters
of reference marked thereon, that is to say :-
Our improvements have reference,-
Firstly. To what is known as Kaye's Valve, Fitter, and Lock
Regulator Oil Can or Oil Feeder," which is described in his Provisional
Specification, dated 6th February 1864, No. 317, and has for its object
the prevention of corrosion or verdigris, and the prevention of the
extraction of the stearine from the oil, which takes place when oil,
particularly "fish oil," is exposed to a brass, copper, tin, or zinc surface.
To obviate the above we make all the interior surfaces of the can of iron
or steel, which surfaces may be either polished or black. The external

page_text: portions of the can or parts not in contact with the oil may be made of
brass, copper, tin, or zinc in the ordinary manner. We make the valve
(which has hitherto been made of brass or copper) of iron or steel, and
solid with the piston.
Secondly. Our Invention consists in constructing oil cans or oil fceders
in such a manner as to facilitate the oiling of spindles on spinning and
other machines.

page_text: can, and placed in such a position as to receive the oil through the short
spout . By this arrangement a great saving of oil is produced.
The improved part i and brush k or equivalent may be adapted to any
other or ordinary or known oil can.
Having now described the nature of our said Invention, and shown by
Drawings how the same may be carried into practice, we would in
conclusion remark that we do not bind ourselves to the precise limits,
details, or configuration of the various parts we have expressed and
shown, as the same may of course be varied or modified without in
any way departing from the nature or principle of our Invention; but
what we do claim and desire to be secured to us by Letters Patent
is,-
Firstly. The application of iron and steel surfaces for the interior parts
of oil cans, constructed substantially as herein set forth.
Secondly. The construction of the projecting part i for lifting the
bobbins, and the application thereto of a brush or bristles & or equivalent
parts, substantially as and for purposes hercin set forth.
Thirdly. Forming the piston c and valve d in one piece in oil cans,
constructed substantially as here set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said Joseph Kaye, for myself and on
behalf of the said William Cecil Slingsby and William Leigh,
have hereunto set my hand and scal, this Twelfth day of
October, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred
and seventy-five.
