ABSTRACT:
A safety dispensing conversion device for converting storage containers of inflammable fluids such as gasoline or the like, such as the well-known "jerry can", into a container with safety dispensing features. A pour spout, a flame arrester extending from the pour spout interiorly of the container, a safety cap in a normally closed relation to the pour spout, and a spring-biased operating handle and linkage arrangement mounted on the upper end of the container and connected to the safety cap to cause opening of the safety cap upon movement of the operating handle in an opening direction, and insuring closing of the safety cap due to the action of the biasing spring when the operating handle is released, in modular form, is integrated into such a container. The resulting container has the characteristics of a jerry can which permit stacking of the converted containers for efficiency in storage and transportation, with the converted container also having the safety dispensing features not found in prior art jerry cans. Further, the resulting container having the capability to automatically vent in response to excessive internal pressures, without movement of its control handle, so as to allow venting when in a stacked relation to other such containers.
