Td all whom tmc/y concern: l

` R. EMMRICH, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Menasha, -countyof Vinnebago, and State of 1Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Barrels, of which the fol- My invention relates to improvements in thatA class of barrels which are adapted to be used .for storing and shipping liquids.

It is a well known fact that the chimes of barrels filled with liquid frequently become broken when such barrels leak and are worthless for ordinary purposes.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and com aratively inexpensive barrel, the chime'o `which is formed of two n pieces of strong rolled' metal capable of withstanding the roughest usage to which the barrels are subjected without liability of breaking or in which the liability of breaking is reduced to the minimum.

My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanying drawings in whichi Figure 1 represents a side -view of a barrel, part in vertical section. Fig. 2 is a detailed view in vertical section of a portion of one end of a barrel showing the metallic chime vmember as it appears preparatory to being driven down upon a barrel. Fig. Sis a similar viewpto that shown in Fig. 2 in which the metallic chime member is in place upon the barrel, and Fig. 4 is a perspective View of one of the retaining brackets which is adapted to bev used for retaining both the chime 'members and the hoops upon the barrel.

Like parts are identified by the same reference numerals throughout the several views. l

The body'l of the barrel is comprised of a plurality of staves 2 provided with chime grooves 2 which are retained in contact by a plurality of hoops 3 and chime members 4. The chime members 4 are made up of two separate annular metallic collars which are preferably welded together at the point of contact 5, while the exterior collars 6 are adapted to overlap and partially inclose the inner collar 7 and said collars G and 7 are adapted to mutually reinforce and strengthen each other. The chime members 4 are provided with a plurality of apertures 8 for the reception of the hooks 9 formed on one end of the brackets l0. 'Ihe brackets l0 are provided with an angular hond l1 which is..

adapted to be driven into the staveslQ of the barrel preparatory to securinff the chime'v members 4 in place upon the ends of the barrel. When the brackets 10 have been thus driven into vthe staves the chime members 4 are placed around the barrel in such a man- 'ner that the hooks 9 of said brackets are adapted to project through said apertures 8, as shown in Fig. 2, whereby as said chime members Vare driven down the hooks 9 will project from the outer surface of said chime member, as shown in Fig. 3. When the chime member 4fhas been driven firmly in place the hook 9 is turned over and driven down against the exterior surface of such chime member, as shown in Fig. 1, whereby the chime members are securely retained upon the barrel and the liability of them becoming loose bythe shrinkage of the barrel or other cause is avoided. A plurality of vbrackets 10 are also driven in the barrel between the chime members and the bilge, as shown in Fig. l, when the hoops 3 are placed over the barrel andv driven in place. When this is done the hooks 9 of said brackets are turned down over the contiguous edges of the hoops, as shown in Fig. 1, whereby said hoops are securely retained upon the barrel.

14 representsthe head of the barrel.

The endsof the staves 2 re out 0H flush with the outer surface of the head, as shown in Fig.' 1, whereby the liability of the ends of the staves being broken is avoided.

lt will be understood that by this arrangement the chime members 4 perform the twofold function of holding the ends of the staves against the heads while the outer portions of said chime members'form a' shield for protecting the respective ends of the barrel, whereby the liability ofthe chimes or ends of the staves becoming broken as heretofore is avoided.y

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. In a device of the described class, the combination of an annular series of barrel staves provided at their respective ends with a chime groove, barrel heads extending across and secured ywithin the chime grooves at the respective ends of the staves, the outer surface of said heads being flush with the ends of said staves, a pair of annular chime members, each chime member comprising two annular collars welded together at a distance from the outer ends 'of said chime -a chime groove, barrel heads extending members, the outer ends of one of said annular collars being adapted to overlap and reinforce the outer ends of the other annular collar, whereby said collars mutually support each other, stave retaining hoops located between the chime members and the center bilge of the barrel and means for securing said hoops and chime members in place.

2. In a device of the described class, the combination of an annular series of barrel staves provided at their respective ends with across and secured within the chime grooves at the respective ends of the staves, the outer surface of said heads being flush with the ends of said staves, a pair of annular chime members, each chime member comprising two annular collars welded together at a distance from the outer ends of said chime members, each of said chime members being. l

collars being adapted to overla ets, the outer ends of one of said annular and reinforce the outer ends of the ot er annular collar, whereby said collars mutually support each other, stave retaininghoops located between the chime members and the center bilge of the barrel, a plurality of brackets, each of said brackets bein provided at one end with an angular mem er adaptedto be driven into the exterior surface of said stave while their opposite ends are adapted to be inserted through the apertures in said chime members and turned over and against the exterior surface of said chime members,

whereb. said chime members are Securely retaine in place upon the respective ends of y the barrel, all substantially as and for thev purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

OTTO R. EMMRICH.
