CHARLES R. JOHNSON AND LOUIS P. DE FREES CARR, OF ST. MARYS, OHIO.
BARREL-HEAD FASTENING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,685, dated March 9, 1886.
Application filed December 15,1885. Serial No. 185,734. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES R. J OHNSON and LoUIs P. DE FREES CARR, of St. Marys, in the county of Auglaize and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrel-Head Fastenings; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
Our invention relates to'an improvement in barrel-head fastenings; and it consists in a device for securing the heads of the barrel in position, consisting of a piece of metal having a straight central portion, turned back parts at the ends of the straight portions, and sharp points, as will be more fully described herein after.
The object of our invention is to produce a device for usein connection with what is known as a slack barrel, in which flour, apples, potatoes, and such materials are packed, and which devices extend over the joints in the heads of the barrel for the purpose of keeping the different parts of the heads securely in position.
Figure 1 shows a perspective of a device embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a plan View of a barrel-head, showing our device in position when in use.
In making our devices or liners we take a piece of metal, a, of suitable length, having sharpened ends b, and first double the ends backward upon the body of the metal, and
then turn the ends outward at an angle to the body, as shown. The turned-back portions 0 serve to keep the central portion, a, from be ing forced closely against the side of the barrel, and hence a space is always left between the side of the barrel and the inner side of the part a, so that the end of a tool can be inserted between them to remove the fastenings without marring the barrel. The device thus formed has its two ends driven into the inner sides of the staves at that point where the ends of the pieces which form the heads of the barrel unite with the staves in the usual manner, and has the body of the device to extend across the joints of the pieces which form the heads. These pieces are held securely in position under all circumstances. As one of these devices is passed over each end of each one of the joints, the pieces which form the heads are held perfectly level, and are secured in place in such a manner that no one part of the heads can be removed until the devices
