This invention relates to containers of the class known-as steel drums, steelbarrels, etc., and'more particularly relates rto 'reconditioning used containers -for resale Aand vconcurrently converting them from one type to another.
Steel barrels, etc., as used in commerce after being emptied of the contents of their first use, such as paint,oil, etc., are not t forreusebecause ofthe residue therein of the original contents. A-considerable business has developed in the reconditioning Aof such used barrels for reuse. They are cleaned out inside by various processrrepaired if necessary, and repainted outside; and Ythere is a ready market for lthem because they can be thus reconditioned and sold for prot at a price competitive with that of new barrels.
Steel barrels, drums, etc. are generally of two types: th-ose having permanently closed'heads at both ends and provided with a bung for filling and discharging the contents; and those that at one end have a sealed removable head or cover for access to the interior.
A/concern in the business of reconditioning used barrels, buys both types in odd lots and vin 'quantities and `stores them, and they become his raw stok, 'from which he reconditions them in regular production `on orders; f
- vltlifrequently occurs however that the `market demand for barrelsofnthe Vremovable cover type exhausts fthe raw stock of that type. Thisfsituation could-be met by converting used -barrelsof the permanently closed type into barrels of the removable cover type, and the obvious lprocedure Wouldbe to cut off `one end of the body of a permanently closed barrel and reconstruct that "end to be like those originally made that Way. When this is attempted, however, the cost of the jconversion of the used barrels is tooifhigh to .compete with new ones; because itinvolves a complete fabrication process including machinery for rollingv over the end vof the barrel body, to provide the usual-rounded or` rolled'chine which the trade demands, etc.
Such reconversion furthermore includes the manufacture of the removable head and some kind of gasket to seal it on the end of the barrel.
Now the permanently closed type of used barrels inthe raw stock storage of a concern engaged in the reconditioning business, purchased as they are in odd lots at different sources, and having been Ymade A.by different original Amanufacturers, are of different diameters. Steel barrel containers for example of the fifty gallon size vary `in diameter fromv twenty-two inches to A twenty-two :and one-'half '.inches. To provide `relill 2 movable headsand-sealing gaskets for them vof the usual t'construction 'would lrequire the making ro'f heads andv gaskets of corresponding different diameters, whichwould add still more to the cost of -the `conversion process, dies, machinery, etc.
' The problem then ispresented, rst, of 'devising a short cut process and afconstruction, by'which a permanently closed barrel or vthe like `may be converted to one having'a'removable sealed head and which may 'be vprocticed at small cost; -and second, to provide a construction of removable cover Aand sealing gasket of Aa single diameter, which can be applied equally well in thus converting 'barrels A'ef -a vwide range of commercial diameters.
f It is the object of -this invention tosolve this dual problem.
The invention itself isset forth in the appended claims; and an illustrative embodiment of the invention is fully described 'in Vthe `following speiication,'taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. l is a longitudinal sectional view of one end of asteel barrel, -or the like, of the permanently closed type, showing the conventional construction of the closed lend and chine thereof; and which is tobe converted into a removable cover type as hereinbefore referred to, bythe practice of the invention;

`rFig;` 9 fis :a viewtaken in the direction of `the arrowfof 8;`
Fig. 210 is a top plan view of a hand operated clamping device for operating the clamping ring in the process :of sealing the --head on 'the ivbarrel;
Fig. 11 is a fragmentary sectional view from the plane II-II of Fig. 10.
Referring to the drawing, I have shown in Fig. 1 one end of a conventional steel barrel or drum (the other end being substantially the same) and both ends thus being of the perma-l nently closed type. The construction comprises a sheet metal cylindrical body side wall I; a head 2 having a head body proper 3; and a side wall 4 telescoped into the bodywall I and the outer ends of the two walls rolled over as at 5 and making a sealed chine having an outer' rounded chine end or edge 6 and inwardly thereof an external chine shoulder 'L In the practice of the invention, I prefer to start with a drum of this construction.
As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a large opening 8 is cut out of the original head body 3; as illustrated, the entire head body is cut away, buta smaller opening may be provided, if preferred.
A detachable head 9 is formed by stamping and pressing operations, to have a central head bodyproper as at I; and a side wall II, at the outer end of which is a radially outwardly extending flange I2 formed to have an axially inwardly concave channel I3 therein.
With the purposes of the invention in mind as referred to hereinbefore, the head thus formed is to be attached to drums of different diameters in a range of commercial diameters; and, as will appear, in mounting it, the co-ncave channel I3 is in general nested with the chine 5, or concavely confronts it. In order that, as referred to, a single size or diameter of head may be used with drums of the entire range of dilarneters, the side wall I I of the head is made of sufficiently small diameter to telescope within a drum of the minimum diameter and this is shown in Fig. 4; the same head being shown in Figs. 2 and 3 telescoped into a drum of the maximum diameter.
Also in order that the head channel I3 will nest with the chines of the entire range of diameters, it is made of sufficiently greater radial width than-the chine, Fig. 4 showing it nesting with the chine of the minimum diameter drum. and Fig. 3 showing it nesting with the chine 5 of the maximum diameter drum. n
As will be described, the head 9 is clamped downwardly upon the drum end, with the chine 5 and head channel I3 nested together, and with a sealing gasket therebetween.
In Figs. 2 to 4, one form of gasket is shown, this form being in two parts Ma and Mb functioning as a one piece gasket.
The gasket part Illa is annular and U-shape in cross section, straddling the chine 5. For minimal cost, it may be formed from tubing of rubber or the like, split longitudinally along one side, cut to suitable length, bent into an annulus, and the ends secured together in any suitable manner, for example, by adhesive. The side walls of the U-shape lie along the inner end and outer walls of the chine but stop short of the shoulder l. The diameter of the annulus may be made suitable for a drum of minimum diameter in theV range, and may be stretched to t drums of the maximum diameter.
The other portion Mb of the gasket is also an annulus of rubber or the like. It may be made from a strip of rubber, for example of rectangular cross section, cut to length and the ends secured together. It is placed in the head channel I3 substantially filling it `from side to side, and may therefore bev of a single diameter'l for all diameters of drum, and if desired may' be secured in the head channel by adhesive to facilitate assembling operations.
The head 9 is detachably mounted on the drum by a sheet metal clamping ring shown generally at I5. This ring is of channel section, concave radially inwardly, bent into the form of a split annulus with a gap I6 at the split. It is telescoped downwardly over the head channel I3 and chine 5 and is then in the condition shown in Fig. 10; and then as illustrated in that gure, a constricting and clamping tool I1 is associated therewith. The too-l comprises a channel-form tool annulus shown generally at I8 split to provide a gap I9 and embracing the clamping ring I5 and lying thereon, being supported by tongues -20 overlapping the clamping ring I5. Arms 2I-22 spaced apart at opposite sides of the gap I9 are pivoted to the two parts 23 and 24 of a toggle lever mechanism, pivoted together at 25; one of the parts being extended into a handle 2S. By operating the handle in a well known manner the tool annulus I8 is constricted and constricts the clamping ring I5.
Constricting of the clamping ring moves it to position of Fig. 3 or Fig. 4, where as seen, its channel flanges engage the upper side of the head channel I3 and the shoulder 'I at the underside of the chine, and draws them together, putting the gasket Illa-llh under sealing compression.
The clamping ring I5 has a pair of eye lugs 21 and 28 welded thereto near the split I6 in the ring, and after it is in clamped constricted condition, a bolt 29 is passed through the eye lugs, and a nut 30 is put on the bolt to hold the ring in that condition; after which the clamping tool may be removed.
The chine 5 will be under a radially inner part of the gasket annulus Ilia-Mb for drums of small diameter as shown in Fig. 4; and under a radially outer part for large diameter drums as shown in Fig. 3; but will seal equally well for all diameters in the said range. Likewise the radially outer side wall 3| of the head channel I3 will project farther into the channel of the clamping ring I5 in one case as in Fig. 4 and not so far as in Fig. 3 but will work equallyA well in both'cases, the depth of the clamping ring channel I5 beingy predetermined for this purpose.
The gasket as a, whole seals both upon the chine and upon the head as will be understood.
In Figs. 5 to '7 is shown a one piece gasket 32- to have a U-form or J-form section at the -lower part to straddle the chine 5; and an upper part extending above the chine and having a sealing surface 3d to be clampingly engaged by the head channel I3; and between the chine 5 and thesealing surface 3d has interiorly thereof an annular cavity to render it compressible. When the gasket is compressed by applying the clamp-V ing ring 33 (as described above for the clampingv ring I5) it seals on both the chine 5 and on the. head 9; and for drums of small diameter takes' up the compressed and deformed shape of Fig. 7, and for large diameter drums, that of Fig. 6. The great radial extent of the head channel I3 leaves.
space for the deformed gasketto expand laterally;
The one piece gasket 32 isl into the spaces as shown at 36 and 31, Figs. 6
and 7.
The gasket 32 also may be made into the form of an annulus by cutting off a suitable length of the extruded rubber, bending it to annular form, and securing its ends together; and to t the chines of all diameters would be made of suitable tated by means of a coating of cement on the chine before being rst fitted thereon.
The head 9 can in each case above .described be removed upon removing the bolt 29 and allowing the clamping ring l5 (or 33) to expand back to its original unconstricted condition; and upon then removing it.
