A still further which latter handle is adapted to operate the pump," asboth' of these'handles are sinful p taneously grasped and pressed together,

A still further objectis to provide a re-.

movable valve cage,'permitting the removal of the valves, for the purpose of cleaning and examining-the interior of'the device.

The/full objects and advantages of my invention will appear in connection-with the detailed description thereof, and are partly pointed out inthe claims;

In the drawings forming part of this" specification: H v f The figure 1s a sectional view of my in vention.,

My invention is; clearly, shown in the drawing, comprising an oilQc'an Aywhichis" formed with "a cylindrical portiono10, .to whichfis soldered a dome shaped head 11 and aYbOttO I'TI 12'." Ontheexterior of the cyline drical portionilO, isattache'd a' handle.=13, which is securely riveted thereto,

dome shape p the extreme end lfi, of which may be bent outwardly as shown, This nozzle is atjtachedotothe head '11, in a mannerto be later described. In an opening in this head, I provide a filler'plug 16 which is screwed intoa member 17, soldered to the said head ll by neansjof whichthe oil in the can can be ep enish d c/Will. a T esp n pspe ie g of sist of a horizontally. positioned. cylinder object is to provide a.

handlefol' carrying the can and a second" movable handle, positioned outwardly from; said first handle and'con'nected to said pump,

, 18, which extends partly acrossthe interior of my oil can A, immediately below, the handle This cylinder projects through the shell for a shortdistance and is securely soldered thereto. Upon the exterior of said cylinder, I provide a cap 19, for partly clos- 1 ing the same. vWithin the interior of the cylinder 18, is mounted for reo1procati'on,a p1ston 20,wlnch has .a lug'21 secured to the I outer end'thereof. -This piston may be coni 1,580,158 oFFi'eE.

structed in any suitable manner, employing leather plungers. 22 or other suitabledevices. .The device for operating piston 20, consists of a bent handle 23 which is positioned outwardly from the handle 13 and is pivoted at its upper end 9A=to a lug 26, riveted to w the can A, near the top thereof The lower end 27 of handle 23' is, pivoted; to a link 28v which in turn is pivoted to the lug 2] Se cured to piston 20. The operation of the device s as follows: When the fingers of the user are lnserte'd through handle 13, andthe calm of the handpressed against handle 23, sa d handle23 is caused to move toward handle 13, thereby forcing the piston 20 in- V Wardly the cylinder 18. For brlnging piston 20back .to its initial or outward position, :I ;provide- .a, coil spring. 29 which "is;

positioned in the interior of cylinder. 18 and acts,againstthe;end of piston 20, to force the same outwardly as shown."

c, The valve mechanism .of consists of a cylindrical valve casing 30' which is positioned at right-angles to the.

cylinder 18 and is securely soldered thereto.

Aii opening 311 in the side of casing 30 in proximity :to. cylinder 18,-'p rovides com-u munication from the said cylinder 18 the val'vegchaniber of'the invention. A cap 32,attached to the top of 'cas'ing' 30 has my invention soldered mica pipeI33-whichleads upward 1y andfconnects with' the nozzle. 1 1v at 34 This structure permits of readily removing thenozzle 141 .for the purpose. of cleaning the same and thepipeSS. I

,The valves, proper are co s tr ucted as. fol-V lows: Within the casing .30 is. positioned a cylindrical cage "38 "hich isf form'ed with a partition '39 across the center of the same,

and a partitiO-nyiOat the bottom thereof, both ofwhich are securely soldered.- in place. The extreme end of the cage is theaded' as indicated atel so that thesaid cage may be readily screwed into the casing 30 at will. A"

conical openingi42jisj'provided, in the partition 39 whichformsa valve seat and a'pas-.

sagoway leading to the chamber 43 at the upper portion of the cage 38 from the cham-' ber 44. at the lower portion thereof, which latter chamber in turn communicates through an opening 45 in cage 38, registering with the opening 31 and the said opening 31 with the interior of the cylinder 18. In a similar manner, a conical opening 16 in the partition 40, provides a. valve seat and a passageway leading from the chamber 4: 1 to the interior of the oil can A. Secured to the upper portion of the partitions 39 and 40 are two U-shaped brackets 47 and 18 having cross bars 49 connected therewith. In these cross bars are slidably mounted valve stems 50 and 51 to which are attached vave heads 52 and 53, adapted to seat against the seats 12 and 16, previously referred to. Two compression coil springs 54 and 55, which act against the valve heads 52 and 53 and the bars 19, serve to hold said valves normally in closed position. For removal of the cylindrical cage 38 and the valves connected therewith, I provide a plug 56 which is screwed into the bottom of the oil can A.

The operation of the device is as follows: \Vhen piston 20 is forced in the cylinder 18 against the pressure of spring 29, the fluid within said cylinder and chamber 4% is compressed causing the valve 52 to be raised and permitting the fluid to escape into the chamber 43 and through the pipe 33 and nozzle 14. As the piston 20 is caused to travel in the opposite direction by spring 29, valve 52 is closed while a suction is created in chamber 44 which opens valve 53 and causes the oil in the can to flow from the bottom past the valve 53 into chamber 44 and cylinder 18. Upon continual operation of piston 20, it can readily be seen that oil can be forced through nozzle 15- and directed wherever required.

My invention is particularly useful for oiling where the oil cannot be delivered by the usual oil can, inasmuch as the invention may be used in either a vertical or horizontal position. In addition, the oil may be discharged from the same, with suflicient force and in sufficient volume to re duce the time required when a considerable amount of oiling is to be done. All of the parts including the piston, valve, casing and nozzle of the invention may readily be removed so that all of the parts may be ex amined, cleaned and repaired, thereby providing a. highly useful and serviceable oil can.

In accordance with the patent statutes I have described the principles of operation of my invention together with the apparatus which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the construction shown is only illustrative and that the in vention can be carried out by other means and applied to uses other than those above set forth within the scope of the following claims:
