BARREL CONSTRUCTION.

Application filed. fietober 19, 1921. Serial No. 508,656.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, STANTON VJ. Fonsnni a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Los Angeles, county of Los Angeles, State of California, have invented a new and useful Barrel Construction, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to containers and more particularly to paper barrels having at each end a croze ring telescoping over the edge of the end.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a barrel construction in which there is used a metallic or other croze ring of channel-shaped cross section and which is split; the ring being extremely simple and designed so as to form a substantially sift or leak proof joint at the meeting ends of the ring.

It is further, an object of the invention to provide a croze ring of channelshaped cross section which has its ends designed to overlap and telescope into each other, therefore avoiding the tendency of the ends of the ring or hoop from projecting and forming an undesirable" roughness at the hoop joint.

Further, it is an object of the invention to provide for the efficient fastening of the ends of the barrel croze ring or hoop through the medium of a single securing device, as a nail, adapted to be passed through the overlapping inner and outer portions of the hoop and so preventing both transverse and peripheral slipping of the connected ends of the ring.

Another object of the invention is to provide, in a hoop or croZe ring having inwardly projecting c *cumferential or annular bead or flange like portions, a mortising or interlocking of the contiguous ends of the split ring.

The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which with the foregoing, will be made manifest in the following description of the preferred form of the invention, which is illustrated in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the specification. It is to be understood that itis not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment shown by the said drawings and description, as variations ma be adopted within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.

Figure 1 is a side elevation and partial section of a portion of one end of the improved barrel structure.

barrel body, the applied interlocked croze' ring and a portion of the head.

The present invention pertains to barrel structures more particularly of the type having a tubular body of leavy laminated material, such as cardboard, and each end of which is covered by a protecting croze ring or hoop of channel shape in cross section; the outer leg of the channel embracing the outer surface of the end of the barrel and the inner leg of the channel embracing the inner surface and being provided with inwardly projecting and laterally spaced beads, flanges or other equivalent means forming the croze seat to take the inserted head of the barrel.

One form of such barrel construction is here shown as embodying the cylindrir-al paper barrel body 2. and a complementary head 3, which may be of paper or other suitable material, and is designed to be retained in its respective end. of the barrel by a croze ring and binding hoop consist ng, preferably, of a split ring structure. In the illustrated form the ring is shown of one integral piece, although it is to be understood that other structural forms may be adopted and still embody the principle of the invention.

The improved croze ring has an outer, overlapping peripheral flange l, and an end covering and connecting portion 5, from which extends downwardly an inner flange or leg portion 6. The lowermost edge of the inner leg portion of the channel-like section thus provided. has an inwardly turned flange 7 forming the lower portion of a croze seat for the head 3. The flange or leg portion 6, is shown as provided somewhat below the connecting part 5, of the hoop or ring with an inwardly projecting head or rib 8, the lower surface of which, opposed to the flange or seat 7, co-operates therewith to retain the inserted head 3.

For securing a substantially leak or sift proof overlapping joint between the ends ,override the connecting portion 0 Mar Inn

of the hoop or ring, one or these ring ends is suitably contracted and recessed so tl'iat it will telescope into the other, leaving the abutting surfaces in flush alineiiient.

To secure a lull overlap from top to bottom of each of the side flanges l and 6 and channel 10, oi the complementary female or overlapping end oi? the ring. iin advan tage o it this construction is that the cross or connecting portion 5 cl? each end otthe split ring remain in planar oi'rtlush alinement when the ends are teleseoped.

This Ov'Pd'liiPPlllj: and mortising oi the coi'itiguous ends of the'hoop or ring serves, therefore, not only to provide a tight joint, as between the ends of the ring, but itunther provides, through the overlapping port ons, tor the application et a fastening nail l1, or otaei' device which will pass through the outer overlapping flange portions i, and the inner overlapping flange or leg portions (5; the nail or fastening dev'ce being driven preferably through the portion oi the ring which forms the seat for the head. 3, so that the nail will enter the head radially through its edge. I

From the above it will be seen that by cutting away the top connecting portion 5 of one end at the split ring, this enables the freed side walls or flanges ot' the channel to be sprung s 'htly toward each other to facilitate entry into the opposed :teinale end 10 of the ring. Again, this construction permits the top portions 5 of the contiguous ends to be brought into contiguous relation substantially in a common plane, from which the portion 5 of one end does not ot the other end.

In the method of nianutacturin g the ring. it is now produced in a continuous helical strip, the diameter of which, is somewhat 7 larger than the diameter to which the applied ring contracts when mounted on a barrel. The rings are each cut from the helical stock and when the ends are brought into opposition and telescoped one into the other, the ring assumes a substantially true circular term of the desired diameter.

The male end of the flange '7, may be deflected slightly so as to clear the opposed end ot the flange 7 on the complementary female part of the ring and to facilitate the telescoping of the ends of the ring.

lVhat is claimed is:

1. A split eroze ring of channel form in cross section to fit down over the end of a barrel and having inwardly extending spaced, seat forming shoulders to receive a head, the meeting ends of the 'ring being constructed so as to meet in telescoping position, and so that the top cross connecting portions of the channel at the telescoped ends 0t ring-lie in ali-nement.

2. A. split croze ring of channel form in cross section adapted to lit over the end Of a barrel and having inwardly extending, spaced shoulders to receive a head, the ends of the ring being telescopic, and one end having its top cross connecting; portion re-. mt ed so that the sit. es of the channel may pass into the other end i the ring.

3. A split croze ring of channeli'orm in cross section adapted to it over the end of a barrel and having inwardly extending, spaced shoulders to receive a head, the ends of the ring being telescopic and one end having its top cross connecting portion removed so that the sides of the channel may end of a barrel and provided on its inner wall or flange with head-receiving means; one end of the ring being slotted so as to relatively free the contiguous flanges or side walls of the ring whereby they may be readily telescoped into the opposed end of the ring, and whereby the top connecting portion of the outer endo-t the ring slides into contiguous relation with the top connecting portion of the other end otthe ring. 7

p 6. A split croze ring ofchannel form in cross section adapted to'flt down over the end of a barrel and provided on its inner wall or flange with head receiving means; one end of the ring being slotted so as-to relatively free the contiguous flanges or side walls of the ring whereby they may be readily telescoped into theopposed end of the ring, and whereby the top connecting portion of the outer end of the ring slides into contiguous relation with the top connecting portion of the other end of the ring and in substantially the same plane thereof.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.

STANTON W. FORSMAN.
