G. 'SOUTHER. CORRUGATED HOOP FOR BARRELS, 6w.
N0. 449,59-7. Patented Mar. 31,1891.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE SOUTHER, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
CORRUGATED HQOP FOR BARRELS, 80c.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 449,597, dated March 31, 1891.
Application filed February 21, 1889. Serial No. 300,678. (No model.)
To all whmn it ntay concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE SOUTHER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hoops for Barrels, Pails, or Tubs, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.
This invention relates to the barrel or other hoop for which Letters Patent No. 379,997 were issued to me March 27, 1888, wherein the hooked extremities of the corrugated wire are connected by a non-divided band or loop. I11 my former construction the entire strain in the direction of the length of the wire must be borne by the connecting loop or band, which has been found objectionable, in that the latter becomes fractured or bent out of correct form, and the hooked ends of the wire have a tendency to straighten, so that the article under all circumstances does not possess the substantial and durable qualities that are desirable.
The objects of my invention are to avoid the objections alluded to, to provide a more durable and satisfactory article, to relieve the retaining-band of strain exerted longitudinally on the wire, and to provide such a construction that the longitudinal strain is resisted by the interlocking of the corrugations at the respective ends of the wire, so that a divided loop or band can be employed which serves simply to hold the corrugations at one end of the wire in looking engagement with the corrugations at the opposite end of the wire.
To such ends the invention consists in a barrel or other hoop composed of a corrugated wire having the corrugations at one end directly engaged with the corrugations at the opposite end, and a divided band of flexible metal surrounding the wire and holding the said end corrugations in looking engagement, as hereinafter described, and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure -1 represents a perspective view of a pail provided with the improved device for fastening the ends of the corrugated wire.
Fig. 2 represents a detail view of the corrugated wire and the fastening device, and Fig. 3 represents a cross-section on the line X X shown in Fig. 2.
Similar letters refer to similar parts wherever they occur on the different parts of the drawings.
In the drawings, Fig. 1, a represents a pail, as usual, with its corrugated-wire hoops I) Z), which latter are made from a uniformly-corrugated wire and cut off in proper lengths, according to the size of the hoops desired. In securing the ends together I use a metal clasp c, which is bent around the overlapping ends of. the corrugated-wire hoop, as shown, said clasp being divided at its meeting edges 0', as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, By this arrangement I am able to utilize a corrugated wire uniformly corrugated throughout its length, which, after being out according to the size of the tub, pail, or barrel, is ready for attaching its ends together by means of the clasp 0 without the need of specially bending or preparing the ends ofsaid wire before attaching them together by the clasp.
In my patent above mentioned I used a flattened annular ring, through which the ends of the wire were inserted, causing said ring to bear the pulling strain of the hoop, and thus making the joint the weakest portion of such hoop.
In my present invention the corrugations at one end of the wire are made to directly engage or interlock with the corrugations at the opposite end, and then the divided band 0 of flexible metal is bent around the engaged ends of the wire, thereby holding the end corrugations in looking engagement, whereby the divided band is in a large measure, if not entirely, relieved of the longitudinal strain to which the hoop may be subjected. By means of suitable pinchers, pliers, or other tool the said metal band 0 can easily be bent and closed around the overlapping ends of the corrugated-wire hoop, as shown in the drawings.
WVhat I wish to secure by Letters Patent and claim is A barrel or other hoop consisting of a corrugated wire havingthe corrugations at one nmne to this specification, in the presence of end directlyengaged with the corrugations at two subscribing witnesses, on this 8th day of re the opposite end, and the divided band of February, A. D. 1889.
