Fig. VII is a fragmentary sectional view, similar to Fig. VI, but showing the metal of said container closure and its reinforcement deformed by suitable die elements to form a tubular conical socket extending outwardly with respect to the interior of the container.
Fig. VIII is a fragmentary sectional view of said container closure and its reinforcement similar to Fig. VII, but after the structure has been brazed.
Fig. IX is a fragmentary sectional view similar to Fig. VIII, but with the structure in its final screw threaded form, and indicating a water-pipe connected therewith.
Referring to Fig. I; the container ineludes the cylindrical tubular body or shell 1, which is conveniently formed of a primarily flat sheet of steel, or other ferric metal, which is rolled to form-a cylinder with edges abutting at the line 2, where said edges are electrically or otherwise welded to form a water-tight joint. Said container 1 is provided with the upper end closure 4 and lower end closure 5. Said closure 4 is provided with the cold water inlet pipe 3, in communication with the municipal supply, and the hot water outlet pipe 6 leading to the dispensing fixtures.
Said container 1 is provided with the cold water outlet pipe 8 and the hot water inlet pipe 9, respectively leading to and from the range water-back 10, or other water heating means. Said pipe 8 is connected with said bottom closure 5, and said pipe 9is connected with the side wall of the container 1, as shown.
I find it convenient to explain my invention with reference to the upper end closure 4 of said container 1. Said closure 4 is conveniently pressed to the peculiar form shown in Figs. II and III from a primarily flat sheet of steel or other ferric metal, and includes the convex web 12 having the cylindrical rim flange 13 in unitary relation therewith. Said closure web 12 has a principally plane panel 14 pressed therein, of the configuration indicated in Fig. II, with rounded edges merging into theconvex surface of said web 12, as indicated in Fig. III, and forming a plane reinforcement seat 15. Two holes, 16 and 17, are punched through the metal of said closure 4 during the operation of forming the latter, and at the regions where it is desired to connect said pipes 5 and 6. However, as indicated, those open ings are primarily much smaller in diameter than said pipes.
Respective annular plane reinforcing plates or Washers 19 of ductile metal, preferably low carbon steel, of the configuration shown in Figs. IV and V, each having a central hole 20, of smaller diameter than the respective closure holes 16 and 17, are respectively applied in registry with said holes, upon said seat 15, at the inner surface of the closure 4, as indicated in Fig. VI. The two reinforcements 19 and the adjacent container wall metal of the closure 4 are then, preferably simultaneously, subjected to a pressing drawing operation, conveniently by means of the pair of die members 22 and 23 indicated in Fig. VII, which cooperate to deform the metal of said closure 4 and its reinforcements 19, together, and outwardly from what is to be ultimately the inside of the container, so that each annular reinforcing plate 19 is drawn at its central portion to form an outwardly extending tubular cone 25 within a corresponding tubular cone 26 in the metal of said container closure 4.
As indicated in Fig. VII; I prefer to so proportion the opening 20 in each reinforcement 19, with respect to the opening 16 or 17 I in the closure 4, that when the metal of those parts is deformed, together, as above described, the tubular portion 25 of each reinforcement extends through the tubular portion 26 of the closure wall; with the result that, as the metal of said reinforcements is under compression during such deformation, it expands exterior to the metal of said closure, as indicated at 28 in Fig. VII, so as to permanently interlock the reinforcement 19 with the metal of the container wall, comprised in said closure 4, without other connecting means; so that said annular reinforcement 19 immediately becomes an in-- tegral part of the container structure as the result of the first operation upon it in connection with such structure.
However, in proceeding with the manufacture of such a container as indicated at l in Fig. I; I push the closure 4 into the c lindrical shell of the container until said shell overlaps the cylindrical skirt flange 13 on said closure 4 far enough to be rolled over the same as indicated at 30 in Fig. I. Such rolling operation may be conveniently effected by rotation of the container in contact with the roller 31 indicated in Fig. I.
Pre aratory to brazing the structure thus assem led; I clean the metal at the regions which are to be brazed, by any suitable means, for instance, by immersing such enters the brazing metal. operation is to cause the brazing alloy to tainer 1, preferably to avisible red, and then invert and dip both the container shell and its closure 4 into a molten bath of brazing alloy, to a depth sufficient to submerge said closure flange 13 in said bath. I find it convenient to form such brazing valloy of fifty parts of copper and fifty parts of zinc, and to maintain the same at a temperature'of from 1750 to 1800 degrees F., during the brazing operation; with a suitable flux, such as borax, molten-upon the surface of the bath; so that the structure dipped therein The effect of said not only penetrate the interstice 32,-indicated in Fig. VII, between the wall of the container and the reinforcement 19, but also to fillet the inner junction of said elements, as indicated at 33 in Fig. VIII, and form a rounded bead 35 at the outer interlocked edges of said elements, as indicated in Fig. VIII;
It is to be understood that the brazing operation above described is so effective in integrating the metal of the container wall with its reinforcement, that even if both be split, before such brazing operation, the split is bridged and closed so that a perfect screw thread maybe formed at the region of the container thus reinforced. As above mentioned; it isthe ordinary practice to provide such containers as indicated at 1 in Fig. I, with a coating 36 upon both the outside and the inside surfaces thereof, formed of an alloy known as spelter and which is principally zinc, and it is formed upon the container by first immersing the latter in adetergent liquidwhieh removes all grease and dirt from the metal of the structure, and then immersing the structure in a molten bath of the coating alloy until the metal of the container is coated both inside and outside. Thereupon, the container is removed from the coating bath and drained.
Thereafter, and as next to the last step in the process of making amontainer in the form of my invention; each of the reinforced openings is reamed to the proper size for introduction of the screw threading tools and then, as the final step in said process, each of said openings is provided with a suitable pipe thread, such as indicated at 37 in Fig. IX.
It is to be understood that the bottom closure 5 may have a suitable opening therein provided with a reinforcement substantially as above described, for connection of the container with the pipe 8. Similarly, the wall of said container 1 may be provided with the reinforced screw threaded socket 38 for connection with the pipe 9.
Although I have explained my invention is coated with such flux as it with reference to the manufacture of a container of the range boiler type; it is to be understood that my improvements are equally applicable to containers of other types. Therefore, I do'not desire to limit myself to the precise details of construction, arrangement and procedure herein set forth, as it is obvious that various modifications may be" made therein without departing from the essential features of my invention, as defined in the appended claims.
