- be folded to occupy a comparatively small space and which when extended for use will be sufficiently rigid to withstand the bandling to which devices of this character are subjected.
A further object of the invention is to provide a folding barrel which may be formed of the material of which produce barrels are usually constructed, the con struction being such that should the fold ing sections become damaged, they may be easily replaced or repaired.
A. still further object of the invention is to provide. a structure which may be quickly assembled and disassembled, thereby allowing the receptacles to be dumped as they are taken from a vehicle, disassembled and replaced. or their contents removed by disassembling the staves.
A still further object is to provide a construction in which the sections are connected by means other than complicated metallie fasteners which are not only expensive to manufacture but which add to the weight of the barrel and hinder the proper handling of the same, as well as require considerable time in the assembling and disassembling of the sections.
In the drawings: Figure l is a p'erspecti-ve view showingthe sections assembled; Fig. 2 is a transverse section; Fig. 3 -is a detail view showing the manner in which the hingedly connected staves are secured to the head of the barrel; Fig. 4 is a detail view of a modified form of fastening means; and Fig. 5 is a detail View showing in end elevation the sections of the barrel in folded relation.
In the drawings, 10 designates the head of the barrel which is preferably hexagonal. Each of the straight edges 11 is provided with a loop or staple 12, said staples being of a length in excess of the thickness of the members which constitute the staves of the barrel. The edges 14 of the stave members 15 are hingedly connected, there being a nuniber of hinges 16 connecting each pair of staves consistent with the length of the staves. h v
It has been found in practice that in con structing a. barrel of standard or ordinary size, the adjacent. edges of the various staves may be connected by one pair of hinges, it being necessary to employ more than two hinges in connecting the several staves only when the barrel is made of unusual size, In the preferred embodiment, the body of the barrel consists of eight staves which are so connected that they may be folded one upon the other when the barrel is dis assembled and collapsed for shipping or packing. In order to permit the barrel staves to be folded in this manner, the pairs of hinges of the various adjoining edges of the'staves have been alternately disposed exteriorly and interiorly of the staves, the terms exteriorly" and iuteriorly being applied with reference to the assembled position of the staves, as illustrated in Fig. 1.
In securing the hinges to the staves, screws,
rivets or any other suitable fastening devices 9f similar nature may be employed.
In assembling the staves and head, one of the staples 12 is inserted within an opening 17 formed in one end of one of the end staves. The remaining staves are then placed about the head and the staples 12 of each of the straight edges 11 of the head inserted within the openings 17 of the adjacent staves. When the staves are thus completely assembled about the head, and all of the staples project through the same, a cable 18 is passed through the staples and its terminals connected, securely locking the staves in position and supporting the head against displacement. This cable is preferably formed of wire in order that its ends may be twisted to form a rigid connection, but any suitable form of connecting of the barrel or the barrel may be used with I one open end. While the head is illus- ,tratedas'hexagona-l and the staves shown as eight in number,;itwill be noted-that the heads may be formed with any number of straight edges and the staves of a number consistent with the number of straight edges. It will also be noted that while the head 10 is shown as constructed of asingle piece of material, it mav be made in sections hingedly connected in order thatthe barrel when collapsed may occupy a comparatively small space.
In Fig. 4, amodified form of head securing mechanism-is illustrated. In this form, the staples 12 receive pegs 22, the pegs being tapered in order that they may be driven into the staples and securely wedged against displacement. By this construction, it Will-be seen that the cable 18 may be dispensed with and the staves effectually s'ecured to the head.
Having thus, described my invention,
' What I claimas new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A collapsible barrel including a liea formed with a plurality of straight edges, staves hingedly connected, means supported by each of the traight edges and disposed 2. A collapsible barrel comprising a head formed with a plurality of straight edges, a loop carried by each of said edges, hingedly connected staves provided with openings disposed to receive said loops, and a flexible member disposed .to extend through the loops to hold said staves in contact with the head.
3. A collapsible barrel including a head -4. A collapsible barrel including a head,
a plurality of staves, hinges connecting the staves, and. a flexible member embracing the staves and connected to the head for holding the staves in contact with the head.
5. A collapsible barrel including a head member, loops extending laterally from the periphery of the head member, a plurality of hingedly connected staves provided ad jacent their lower terminals with transversely extending slots adapted to receive the'said loop members, and a flexible member insertible through the projecting terminals of the loops for holding the staves in contact with the periphery of the head member.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
