PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Cans and the like.
I, EDWARD GUrimell Stidder, of 7 Rivers Street, Essex Road, Islington,
in the County of London, Oil and Colourman, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :-
My invention relates to improvements in oil cans and the like, which consists of
a gauge-glass for measuring the quantity of oil and the like, and various pipes and
outlets connected thereto and in direct communication with the interior of the said
oil can.
This oil can is constructed in any suitable shape with or without a flange at the
base, and to the base of the oil can I form a connection with an elbow and to this
said elbow I fix a vertical gauge-glass the top of which I connect to a pipe
springing from the top of the oil can. The outlet tube is fixed to the stopper or
elsewhere.
If preferable the gauge-glass may be fixed to the cork, stopper and the like, so
that in this case the gauge-glass would be inside the oil can.
The stopper of the oil can may be a screw-stopper or otherwise, constructed of
cork, wood, metal or of any other suitable material, and fitted to the opening of
the oil can so as to be perfectly air tight.
The gauge-glass may be fixed in any position outside the can with or without a
metallic cover to protect the gauge-glass, with a suitable slot to enable the
contents of the can to be seen, and the said gauge-glass may be made movable
or otherwise.
It will be understood that I do not particularly bind myself to construct the
aforesaid oil can with a gauge-glass, tubes, or connections, of any particular shape,
as it is evident that the arrangements and forms may be varied in many ways within
the scope of my invention.

Improvements in Oil Cans and the like.
I, Edward Gurimell Stidder, of 7 Rivers Street, Essex Road, Islington,
in the County of Middlesex, Oil and Colourman, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in oil cans and the like, which consists of
a gauge-glass for measuring the quantity of oil and the like, and various pipes and
outlets connected thereto and in direct communication with the interior of the said
oil can.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
foures marked thereon.

page_text: Fig. 2, is a front elevation.
The oil cane is constructed in any suitable shape with a flange a at the base,
and to the base of the oil can e I form a connection with an elbow band to this
said elbow I fix a vertical gauge-glass c (shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1,) the top
of which I connect to a pipe & springing from the top of the oil can e to the outlet
tube or spout. Above the spout I provide an air tube g or syphon, and at the
side of the gauge-glass c is fixed a gauge i.
The stopper of the oil can may be a screw stopper or otherwise, constructed
of cork, wood, metal or of any other suitable material, and fitted to the opening of
the oil can so as to be perfectly air tight.
The gauge-glass may be used to act as a pipe to the outlet, or may be fixed in
any position outside the can with or without a metallic, cover to protect the
gauge-glass, with a suitable slut to.enable the contents of the can to be seen.
It will be understood that I do not particularly bind myself to construct the
aforesaid oil can with a gauge-glass, one or more tubes or outlets, or connections,
of any particular shape, as it is evident that the arrangements and forms may be
varied in many ways within the scope of my invention.
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 :-
1.. In oil cans, the combination of the oil can e flange a at base, elbow b
gauge-glass pipe d gauge i air tube or syphon g outlet or spout hand
stopper f, substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying
-drawing.
2. In oil cans, the combination of the oil cane and the various parts as illustrated
but without the air tube or syphon g, substantially as described.
3. In oil cans, the combination of the oil can with a gauge-glass and one or more
tubes or outlets, or connections, substantially as described and for the purpose
specified.
4. In oil cans, the combination of the various parts as hereinbefore described in
.this Specification.
