PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Cap for Oil Cups, Cans, and other Vessels.
I WILLIAM JOSIAH JONES, of the City of Hamilton in the County of Wentworth,
in the Province of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the combination in an oil cup, of two sections, one screwed
into the other. The lower section has .a. surface or plane recessed a certain distance
from its upper surface or flange, the circle of the recess being.threaded to receive the
upper threaded section, which has a projected surface or plane to engage with the
plane of the lower section, thus forming a joint.
Each plane has a round hole through, to admit oil or other liquids into an oil cup
or other vessel, into which the lower section of the cap is secured. This is accom-
plished by reversing the upper section half a turn, until the two holes register or are
opposite, then to close the same give the same section half a turn forward, bringing
the said holes away from each other as shown, and engaging the two planes, thus
securing a tight oil or water proof joint.
The object of my invention is to provide a cap which is capable of being attached
to any oil cup or vessel, and to allow the greatest facilities for the pouring in of oil
or liquid without removing the cap.
Reference being made to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a cap screwed into a common oil cup embodying
my invention.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same.
Fig. 3 is a plan of the lower section of the cap.
Fig. 4 is a plan of the upper section of the same.
And,
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of the cap, the upper section unscrewed half a turn
to show the holes opposite each other and open.
In the drawing, A is a common oil cup, the lower end of which is intended to fit
or screw into any piece of mechanism needing oil. The upper part of this cup is
threaded internally to receive the lower section at B, its projecting flange, C, having
six or more sides for screwing or tightening the same into the oil cup. The.
internal thread of this section engages with the external thread of the upper section
at D, which has also a projecting flange, E, for manipulating the same. Fig. 1
shows the cap fitted into an oil-cup and closed. The plane, F, of the upper section
engages with the plane, G, of the lower section, and is perfectly tight, and when
necessary to pour oil into the oil cup, A, the upper section is reversed by means of
its flange, E, until its hole, I, is brought opposite to the hole, H, of the lower section,
then the oil is poured into the recess, J, and through the said boles into the oil cup ;
the upper section is then closed as before mentioned.
Dated this 22nd day of October 1889.

Cap for Oil Cups, Cans, and other Vessels.
I, WILLIAM JOSIAH JONES, of the City of Hamilton, in the County of Wentworth,
in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, Gentleman, 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 the combination, in an oil cup, of two sections, one screwed

page_text: into the other. The lower section has a surface or plane recessed a certain distance
from its upper surface or flange; the circle of the recess being threaded to receive the
upper threaded section which has a projected surface of plane to engage with the
plane of the lower section, thus forming a joint. Each plane has a round hole
through to admit oil or other liquids into an oil cup or other vessel, into which the
lower section of the cap is screwed, this is accomplished by reversing the upper
section half a turn, until the two holes register or are opposite each other, then to
close the same, give the same section half a turn forward, bringing the said holes
away from each other as shown, and engaging the two planes, thus securing a tight
oil or water proof joint. The object of my invention being to provide a cap which
is capable of being attached to any oil cup, or other vessel, and to allow the greatest
facilities for the pouring in of oil or other liquid without removing the cap.
Reference being made to the drawing left with the provisional specifications, in
which:
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a cap screwed into a common oil cup, embodying
my invention.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the same.
1. Figure 3 is a plan of the lower section of the cap.
Figure 4 is a plan of the upper section of the same.
Figure 5 is a sectional elevation of the cap, the upper section unscrewed half a
turn, to show the holes opposite each other and open.
In the drawing, A is a common oil cup, the lower end of which is intended to fit
or screw into any piece of mechanism needing oil. The upper part of this cup is
threaded internally to receive the lower section at B. Its projecting flange, C, allows
the said section to be tightened into the oil cup. The internal thread of this section
engages with the external thread of the upper section at D. E is a projecting flange
of the upper section for manipulating purposes. Fig. 1 shows the cap fitted into an
oil cup and closed. The plane, F, of the upper section, engages with the plane, G,
of the lower section, and is perfectly tight, and when necessary to pour oil into the
oil cup, A, the upper section is reversed by means of the flange, E, until its hole, I,
is brought opposite to the hole, H, of the lower section, then the oil is poured
through the said holes into the oil cup, the upper section is then closed as before.
mentioned.
J denotes a recess in the upper section.
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 lower section threaded at B and D, the flange, C, the plane, G, and the
hole, H, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2nd. The upper section threaded at D, having a recess, J, a plane, F, and hole, I,
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
3rd. The combination of two sections threaded at D, the planes, F and G, the
holes, I and H, the recess, J, and the flange, E, substantially as specified.
