Oil can with outflow control.

Patented in the German Empire on May 22, 1895.

The attached drawing shows an oil can with outflow control and signaling device shown, which is provided with an attachment and a ■ this overlapping cap, between which a special partly annular chamber is arranged. This annular chamber forms an airway that connects by rotating the cap on the attachment the atmospheric air with the inside of the oil can by an air inlet of the Cap is brought into conformity with the annular chamber, which is made by a tube communicates with the interior of the chamber. At the same time through this rotation the cap causes a connection of the jug with a waste pipe, so that the filling of a container through the jug and through the 'flowing into the jug Air a signal can be made to sound. The same thing falls silent as soon as the OeI reaches the end of an air inlet pipe, at the same time the oil drain from the jug ceases.

On the drawing is:

1 is a top view of the oil can, FIG. 2 is a section along line xx in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a section along line yy in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a partial top view of FIGS. 5 and 6 are individual representations of an attachment of the oil can and a cap arranged on it and provided with an outlet and air inlet.

The oil can a, which is of suitable shape, is provided with a hollow attachment b firmly connected to the same, which closes an opening a ² in the ceiling a ^{1 of} the oil can. The conical attachment b is provided with an extension c and with a flange e , in which the end h of a curved tube g is arranged, which ends with the free end i on the opposite side of the opening d ^{2 of} the jug a (Fig. 1). On the attachment b is ^: a cap / movably arranged, which is provided with an outflow pipe m and an air inlet pipe η . An opening m ¹ provided in the cap / comes into or out of connection with an opening d arranged in the attachment b , as soon as the cap has a certain rotation in one, limited by pins rr ¹ and surfaces / ^J / ^{2 of} an attachment f of the attachment b or the other way. Γ ² is a housing connected to the outlet m , enclosing the tube η , which forms an outer air chamber L. I ¹ is a second opening provided in the cap / which connects the outer air chamber L with an inner air chamber B , which is formed by the flange e and an attachment f of the head c of the attachment b and the cap /. The same extends around a little over half of the attachment b and, when the cap / a certain rotation is given, forms a direct connection with the

Pipe g and thereby with the oil can a. A signal whistle ρ is expediently arranged in the pipe η , which is made to sound by the air flowing into the jug α from the outside. If the connection of the chamber L with the chamber B respectively. the inside of the oil can are interrupted, the cap / is set in rotation and brought the same into the position shown in Fig. ι. In this position, the opening Z ^{1 of} the cap is located opposite the attachment / of the attachment b (FIG. 2) and is closed by the same, the pin of the cap resting against the end face f ^{2 of} the attachment f . At the same time, by this rotation of the cap Z, the opening m ^{1 has been brought} into connection with the opening d of the attachment b , whereby the outflow of the oil can is closed. If the cap Z is brought into the position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 suitable for pouring out the oil, which position is ^{limited by the stop of the pin r 1} on the end face f ^l of the attachment /, the opening m ^{1 of the} same is in connection with the opening d of the attachment b, as well as the opening Z ^{1 brought} into contact with the attachment f of the attachment b , whereby a connection of the external air through the pipe g, the chambers B and Z and air inlet pipe η with the inside of the jug α is established, as well as this itself is connected to the outflow pipe m . The outlet m and the air inlet pipe η are inserted into a container for the purpose of filling it, a stop t limiting the introduction. The oil in the jug a now flows into the container to be filled, the external air flowing into the jug a through the pipe n, chambers LB and pipe g making it sound as it passes through the signal whistle ρ . As soon as the liquid level in the container to be filled reaches the lower openings of the discharge pipe m and the air inlet pipe η , they are closed, whereby the whistle ρ becomes silent. At the same time, a further drainage of oil from the can a is prevented by the fact that no more air is supplied to the inside thereof. The risk of overfilling is thus completely excluded, even if the stopping of the signal whistle should be overheard. It can be seen that instead of the fixed stop t an adjustable stop can be arranged in order to regulate the length of the immersion of the outlet m and air inlet pipe η of the jug a in the container to be filled and thereby the degree of filling of the same as required. After filling, the cap Z is brought back into the position shown in Fig. 1 and. thereby the essay b respectively. the can α tightly closed.
