BUNG -SEAT CONSTRUCTION.

Application filed September 16, 1925. Serial No. 56,682.

This invention relates to improvements in bung-seats and more particularly to constructions adapted for use in connection with steel barrels and other types of metal con- 6 tainers.

It is one of the objects of the invention to provide a form of construction embodying parts which are adapted for manufacture independently of the containers and which may be sold to container manufacturers and readily a plied to the containers by a simple form press. A further object of the invention is to provide a bungseat structure that will be attached to the container in a substantial manner so as to be capable of withstanding the blows to which the bung is subjected in handling the containers and in connection with efforts to loosen the bung when it is to be removed. A further object of the invention is to provide a bung-seat structure that will be so attached to the container as to form a tight joint therewith which will not be liable to become loosened and leaky and which is also adapted 25 to be welded or soldered if ever necessary.

Other objects of the invention and features of novelty will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, of which:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a structure embodylng my invention;

Fig. 2 is a transverse section thereof on the line 22 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a, transverse section through the and,

Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the assembled parts and the dies by which they are secured together in the manner illustrated in Fig. 2.

Referringto the drawings, 10 indicates a section of the barrel or container wall in which there is formed an inward depression 11 having an opening 12 therein which is surrounded by a relatively short outwardly projecting flange 13. The bung-seat, proper, comprises the two

tubular members

14 and 15, the member 14 having a laterally projecting flange 16 that is adapted to be arranged on the interior of the container wall. The outer end of the member 14 is flared slight- 1 as shown at 17, for apurpose to be later described. The member 15 is internally threaded to receive the bung and is proparts of the structure prior to assembling,

vided with a laterally projecting hook-like flange 18. The members 14: and 15, prior to assembling and after manufacture, are of the form shown in Fig. 3' and these mem bers are assembled in the opening 12, as

shown in Fig. 4.

The parts are secured together by means of a pair of dies, the die 19 being arranged,

the flange 13 being also turned laterally to some extent, to interlock with the edge of the flange 18, as shown at 22. The die 19 carries a plurality of small projections 23, preferably four, which initially engage the inner side of the flange 16 and, when the parts are forced together, these projections form small indentations or depressions 24 in the flange 16, and in the wall of the container, which serve to secure the parts against turning in the container wall.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that I have provided a comparatively simple structure and that the

parts

14 and 15 are the only parts that are subjected to material deformation, so that these parts may be made of. the proper quality of steel to withstand the deformation while the wall of the container, which is not substantially deformed in the operation, maybe made of the relatively lower grade steel from which it is usually desirable to manufacture containers, in order to reduce the cost to a minimum.

The parts of the bung-seat structure are so interlocked that the wall of the container is securely clamped between the flanges of the

members

14 and 15 and a tight joint is provided. a On account of the relatively large size of the flanges that are provided on the inside and outside of the container wall, the seat structure is so substantially secured to the wall that it is not liable to be loosened by the blows to which structures of this kind are subjected in service. ,The structure has the further advantage that the flange 18 may be conveniently welded or soldered to cent end of the first-mentioned member to tainers and the like comprising a pair of tubular members adapted to be telescopically arranged in an opening in the wall of the container, said members having laterally projecting flanges adapted to be arranged on one side of the wall and pressed into interlocking engagementand one of said members having laterally projecting flanges adapted to be positioned on opposite sides of said wall and to cooperate with the first-mentioned flanges to clamp said wall therebetween and thereby form a tight joint with the walk v 3. As a new article of manufacture, a bung-seat structure comprising a pair of tubular members adapted to be telescopically arranged, one of said members having a hook-like laterally projecting flange which, coo crates with the end of the other member to orm a laterally projecting flange thereon and interlock therewith when said members are forced together. e

4. As a new article of manufacture, a bung-seat comprising a pair of tubular members adapted to be telescopically arranged, one of said members having a laterally projecting flange adapted to be arranged on one side of a container wall and the other member having a hook-like flange ada ted to be arrangedon the opposite side 0 the container wall and to cooperate with the adja form a flange thereon with which the hooklike flange interlocks when said members are forced together to clamp the container wall therebetween.

5. In bung-seat structures, the combination of a wall having a depression therein with an opening which is surrounded'by a relatively short flange projecting int'os'aid' depression, a tubular member arranged in said opening and having two laterally projecting flanges one of which engages said wall on the side opposite said depression,

' and a tubular member arran ed within said first-mentioned tubular mem er and having a hook-like flange interlocked with the other of said flanges on said first-mentioned member.

6. In bung-seat construction, the combination of a wall having an opening which is surrounded by a flange, a tubular member having twolaterally projecting flanges arran ed,respectively, on opposite sides of said wal and a tubular member, arranged within the first-mentioned tubular member and hav ing a hook-like flange which is interlocked with one of the flanges on said first-mentioned memberandcooperates with the other flange on the latter memberto clamp said wall therebetween.

7. In bung-seat construction, the combination of awall having an opening which is surrounded by a flange, av tubular member havingtwo laterally projecting flanges arranged, respectively, on opposite sides of said wall, and a tubular member, arran ed within the first-mentioned tubular mem er and havin a hook-like flange which is interlocked wit one of the flanges on'said firs";- mentioned member and cooperates with the other flange on the latter member to clamp 'said wall therebetween, and said wall and one of said flanges havin coo rating deressions to hold said mem rs rom turning in said opening. In testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature.
