J. H.l KUECHENMEISTER CONTAINER AND METHOD 0F MAKING SAME Filed MarOh 28. 1927 AT ORNEY,

Patented Jan. 28, 1930 .arent CONTAINER "AND METHOD or MAKING SAME Application filed March .28, 1927. Serial No. 178,853.

My invention relates to a container and method 'of making same.

The Vobject of my invention is vto take a circular metallic disc provided with a series of spaced concentric annular grooves which disc is normallythe same size as the inside diameter of the tube to which it is to be applied, and by Vpressure appliedv to the raised faces of the grooves'cause theY grooves to be attened, or shallowed sulciently thereby to cause the disc to be expanded in all directions radially within the tube-to imbedits peripheral edge into the inner face of the paper tube to retain it from displacement.

A' further object ofthe invention is the provision of a stationary member for insertion into the4 tube the desired "distances and uponV which the concentric channeled disc is mounted and to associate therewith a movable member for forced contact with the disc to shallow the channelssuliiciently to cause expansion of the disc and forcethe peripheral edge of the discl into embedder1 en- Y gagement with the bodyof the paper tube,

thereby holding it against displacement within the tube.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a container and method of mak#y ing same which possesses ad'vantagesin points of simplicity and eliiciency, and, at the same time provesitself comparatively inexpensive in cost of manufacture.

For a full understanding of the invention,

reference'is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specilica tion, wherein like characters of reference deiI Vnote similar parts Athroughout the several views:

Fig. 3, is a sectional view of a tube positioned over a stationary member upon which the disc partition is seated within the tube and shows a movable member for forced contact with the disc partition to expand the same in all directions radially to secure it against displacement within the tube by embedding its peripheral edge into the body of the tube.

Itv is the purpose of my vpresent invention to providea concentric channeled metallic disc partition-to be expanded into position within the tube in all cause embedded engagement of the peripheral edge ofthe disc with the body of the tube so as kto provide atube with two separated compartments.

` In 'carrying out the vaim of my invention, I first employ a paper tube l of the desired wall thickness, length and diameter, preferably although 'not necessarily, having one end thereof provided with yexterior screw threads 2 to receive a screw closure 3 while the opposite end of the tube is yprovided with a non-screw threaded cap closure 4L.

The partition V'which I employ for the tube 4vl `consists, of a circular metallic disc 5 which is provided with a series of spaced concentric grooves, channels, or corrugations 6. The disc with its spaced concentric corrugations directions radially to "l threaded cap "n FFICE e is of approximately the same outside diameter as the inside diameter of the tube so that c it can be easily and quickly inserted into the tube.

The method of securing the partition against displacement after being positioned within they tube is by expanding the disc in 9 all directions radially tocause the peripheral edge of the disc to embed itself into they body of the tube. The expansion of the disc is accomplished inone manner, as follows:

' Oneend off' the tube lis slipped over a stationary member 7 upon which is positioned the disc partition 5. Next, a plunger 8 is moved into the opposite end of the tube 1 and by force applied thereto shallows, or fiat-tens the corrugations 6 thereof sufiiciently to cause the disc 5 to expand radially in all directions between the

members

7 and 8 which, in turn, forces the peripheral edge 9 of the disc 5 into embedded engagement with the body of the tube l, as at 10, which embedded condition of the edge of the disc securely holds the disc partition against displacement within the tube.

The disc partition 5 having been secured in position within the tube provides the tube with two compartments 11 and l2, which can be used for various purposes, one of which for instance, and, for which the tube is primaril desired, although not necessarily limited tiereto, is for tire patch material, such as rubber patches 13, which are carried in compartment 1l, while the powder to be burnt in vulcanizing the patches to a tube is carried in compartment 14, which compartment is provided with the screw threaded closure to prevent accidental loss of the powder from its compartment.

Thile I have shown in Figs. l and 6,\a tube made from paper, I have shown a modification of the invention in Fig. 7, wherein I provide a metallic can, or tube l5 with the partition 5. In this modified form of invention, I provide the body or wall of the can, or tube 15 with an outwardly directed peripheral groove 16 into which peripheral edge of the dise 5 can expand, as the corrugations 6 are compressed as hereinbefore described f'or securely locking the disc against displacement.

YVhile I have described the disc herein as employed as a partition, it is evident that it could be used as a can bottom, if so desired and also the dise may be stiff paper as well as metallic.

The many advantages of the herein described invention will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art to which it appertaius.

It will be apparent that various changes may be made in the details of method described without departing from the spirit of my invention as set up in the following claims.

What I claim is:

l. The method of securing a disc partition having concentrically arranged corrugations within a tubular body which consists in positioning the disc within the body at the desired position between its open ends and expanding the dise radially under pressure by slight- 1y flattening the corrugations.

2. The method of securing a disc within a tubular body which consists in positioning a disc having a series of concentric corrugations upon a support inserted into the body and applying pressure to another member inserted into the body from the opposite direction for contact with the corrugations of the disc for flattening the corrugations sufliciently to expand the dise to embed the peripheral edge thereof into the wall of the body.

3. The method of securing a metallic disc within a tubular open ended body to provide a partition, or bottom therefor which consists in providing a disc holder and a driving punch, seating the disc provided with a series of corrugations upon the holder, slipping the tubular body over the holder and inserting the driving punch into the tubular body under pressure for contact with the disc to fiatten the corrugations thereof sufiiciently to embed the peripheral edge of the disc in the wall of the body to hold it against displacement.

4. The method of securing a metallic disc' within a paper tube which consists in first inserting a corrugated disc within the tube and then compressing the corrugations of the disc between two members to expand the disc and bring the peripheral edge thereof into4 embedded engagement with the walls of the tube to secure the disc against displacement. 5. The method of securing a disc within a tube having an outwardly directed circumferential groove in the wall thereof which consists in positioning a concentrically corrugated disc within the tube upon a support and flattening the corrugations of the disc by pressure suiciently to expand the dise and cause the peripheral edge of the disc to frictionally engage in the groove of the body of the tub to prevent displacement thereof.

6. A container comprising a tubular body,

a disc having a. series of concentrically arranged corrugations disposed within the tubular body intermediate the ends thereof and held against displacement by compressing the corrugations thereof suiiciently to expand the disc into embedded engagement with the wall of the tube and a closure for JOHN H.
