It will be seen that the siphon is simple and
comparatively inexpensive in construction
and is adapted to be readily applied to the or-
dinary oil can, and that it is capable of read-
5 ily transferring a liquid from one receptacle
to another and back again. It will also be ap-
parent that in filling lamps, should too great
a supply of oil be transferred to a lamp, a por-
tion may be readily returned to the receptacle.
io Changes in the form, proportion and the
minor details of construction may be resorted
to without departing from the principle or
sacrificing any of the advantages of this in-
vention.
i5 What I claim is-
1. The combination with a receptacle, of a
siphon having a rigid leg arranged in the re-
ceptacle and an outer flexible leg, a cylinder
shorter than the rigid leg of the siphon and
2C located below the top, a screw-cap secured to
the rigid leg of the siphon near the upper endthereof, a brace having its upper end secured
to the screw cap and its lower end fastened
to the cylinder, a piston rod passing through
the screw cap and extending into the cylinder, 25
and a piston secured to the piston rod, sub-
stantially as described.
2. The combination with a siphon, of apump
having its cylinder communicating with the
siphon and provided in its lower cylinder head 30
with a valve opening and having integral
tongues, and a flexible valve disk arranged
over the valve opening and secured beneath
the tongues, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 35
my own I have hereto affixed my signature in
the presence of two witnesses.
