JOHN STRANGE, OF NEENAH, WISCONSIN.

PAPER BUCKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 24, 1914.

Application filed March 21, 1914. Serial No. 826,207.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN STRANGE, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Neenah, in the county of Winnebago and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Buckets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in paper buckets or other similar articles constructed of paper and also relates to the method of forming said articles and is designed to provide a cheap bucket for holding either a liquid or dry material without danger of contamination, either from the odors of wood or the salts resulting from the contact of the contents with metals. 7

The object of the invention is to provide a new method for forming vessels of several layers of an inodorous and tasteless paper,

and in constructing the bottom with an an nular collar suitably secured on the inner surface to support the bottom.

Furthermore, the object of my invention is to provide a bucket of theclass referred to which is impervious to moisture and which absolutely prevents leakage or escape of any fluid or semifluid substance contained therein through the walls of the bucket.

Furthermore, the object of my invention is to provide, in addition to the new method of manufacturing a vessel of this character having additional strengthening means for the body proper and also for supporting the bottom.

With these objects in view the present invention consists in the novel feature of construction, combination and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

In describing my invention reference will be had to the accompanying drawings form ing part of this specification, wherein cor responding parts are indicated by similar reference characters in the several views and in which I Figure 1. is a plan view of the blank which forms the body of the bucket. Fig. 2, is a view in elevation of a paper bucket or pail. Fig. 3. is a view in elevation showing the strengthening hoops severed from the ends of the blank! Fig. 4. is a vertical section of an improved pail constructed in accordance with my improved method. Fig. is a view in elevation of my improved pail or bucket.

Fig. 6, is a top view showing the arrange ment of the securing wires.

A series of blanks, 1, which form the body of' my improved bucket consist of a piece of card or straw board cut the required width, length, and radius, and coated with cement, glue or other adhesive. The blank is their rolled firmly upon a conical shaped drum of a size that permits the edges, 2-2, to abut firmly together and notoverlap, and upon this blank any numbers of blanks may be secured, in a proper manner and with breaking joints, so that one joint will not be immediately over the joint of the subsequent ayer.

After the blanks are thoroughly dry, I sever from the larger end two narrow portions, 3 and 4, which form hoops. The hoop, 3, is then passed over the body of the pail until its upper edge is a little above the edge of the body of the bucket. By cutting off the upper end of the blanks after the same have been permitted to dry, I obtain a hoop of the exact size as that of the pail. I then provide a wire hoo 5, having four loops, 6--6-6-6, which orm ears, for the bail, 7, and eyes to which the cover securing wires,

8, are secured at each end to firmly secure and hold the cover in a closed position. I also cut from the lower end of the body ortion, hoops, 9 and 10, The bottom, 11, I make somewhat greater in diameter than the inner diameters of the lower or small end of the body'portion, so thatf'when the bottom is inserted within the body portion it will be given a concave shape. I then insert the hoop, 9, on the inside of the pail until it seats upon the bottom. The hoop, 10, is somewhat narrower in width than the hoop, 9, and is inserted within the body portion, but below the bottom thereby forming a support for the same.

It is to be noted that by. my improved method of construction I do not weaken the body portion by cutting out a groove for the edge oi the bottom to fit therein, but secure and provide the support for the same through the medium of the hoops, which are secured to the body portion of the pail above and below the bottom.

In assembling the several parts, the hoop, 3, is inserted over the body portion until the upper edge is somewhat higher than the edge of the body portion and the hoop suitably secured to the same. The wire hoop, 5, is then placed over the body portion until it abuts against the lower edge of hoop 3, and then the hoop, 4, is forced up against the Letters Patent is A paper bucket consisting of a plurality of blanks suitably secured together, with an adhesive substance, a strengthening hoop extended above the upper edge of the body portion, a wire hoop abutting against said strengthening hoop, and a second hoop abutting against the wire hoop, a strengthening hoop inserted within the lower portion of said bodyportion, a bottom abutting against the lower edge of said hoop, and a supporting hoop suitably secured below the bottom, a cover having abutting shoulders, and a wire for securing the cover upon the body portion, as and for the purpose described.

In testimon whereof aflix my signature in presence oi two witnesses.

JOHN STRANGE.
