DOVER STAMPING COMPANY, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNEE OF JOSIAH H. NOYES, DECEASED.

NOZZLE-STOPPER FOR OI L-CANS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Reissued Letters Patent No. 9,398, dated October 5, 1880.

Original No. 4.467, dated May 2, 1871.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that JOSIAH H. NOYES, of Abington, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, did invent a new and useful Improvement in Stoppers for Nozzles of Oil-Cans; and that the followingis a full,clear, and exact description thereof, and willenable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanyin g drawing, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in the stoppers for the spouts or nozzles of oilcans, the object of which is to provide a more reliable stopper than any new in use.

The invention consists in a cap for an oilcan nozzle, made to fit snugly over the open end of the nozzle or over the open end of a short tube fitted tightly upon the nozzle, said cap being closed at its outer end, and being provided with a cork stopper or packing, the

cap-tube having along slot, by means of which it runs upon and is held by a guide wire or staple, and being out half away on the side of the slot for a short distance, so that it can be readily slid ofl of the nozzle and turned up therefrom.

The drawing represents an elevation of a can-nozzle having my improvement, shown in section.

A represents a short section of tube, slightly tapered, and adapted to be fitted tightly and permanently on the nozzle of the can, the unetal being sharpened at the outer end either by reaming or swaging it in dies.

0 represents another short tube, closed at one end, and provided in the said closed end with cork or other similar packing, b. It is connected to the section A by a link, B, passing through a slotted extension on one side, 40 so arranged as to allow it to slide sutficiently for application to and removal from the part A. When forced down on the partA the sharpened end thereof will enter the packing b and make an air-tight joint.

This arrangement provides a simple and Application for reissue filed August 2, 1880.

cheap stopping device, which gives much better results than the common metallic caps now in use, for although cork or other packing may be employed with them, it is not available, for the reason that the nozzles are seldom sharp- 5o ened and will not cut into the said packing. Moreover, they work too loosely on the ends of the nozzles after a short time.

In some cases the parts 0 may be made without the closed end-depending on the cork packing for closing it, and when formed in this way they may be constructed by punching them out of sheet metal and forming the extension and the slottberein all at one blow, and they may then be rolled up and the edge joined by soldering or otherwise. By this plan they may be made of heavy metal and very cheaply:

\Ve claim as the invention of JOSIAH H. NoYEs 1. The cap O, provided with the runner-slot a and with the packing b, and cutaway on one side, as seen at c, all as shown and described.

2. A nozzle-cap having its interior surface parallel to the exterior surface of the nozzle and adapted to snugly fit it, and provided with a runner-slot, substantially as and for the purposes described. 1

3. The combination of a nozzle-cap having its interior surface parallel to the exterior surface of the. nozzle, adapted to snugly fit it, and having a runner-slot, the nozzle, and a fastening link or guide, B, substantially as and for the purposes described.

4. The combination of the slotted cap hav- 8o ing its interior surface parallel to the exterior surface of the nozzle, and adapted to fit snugly thereon, the guide-wire, and the nozzle with each other, substantially as described.
