PATENT LEE STURGES, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO THE CHICAGO STAMP- ING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

METALLIC VESSEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 458,352, dated August 25, 1891.

Application tiled March 19, 1891. Serial No. 385,624. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Bc it known that I, LEE STURGES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have Invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention is applicable generally to all Vessels which have a main part, such as a body or cover and an auxiliary part, such as a knob, a handle, an ear, a spout, or the like attached thereto; and the object of said invention is to enable the formation of a tight joint between said parts without the use of solder.

To this end the invention consists in certain features of novelty that are particularly pointed out in the claims hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, which are made a part of this specification, the invention is shown applied to the ears of a pail, Figures l to 5, inclusive, to the handle ot' a dipper, Fig. G, and to the spout of a pot, Fig. 7.

Fig. l is a vertical section of a portion of a pail and of the ear when completely attached thereto. Figs. 2 to 5, inclusive, are sections of the parts at four different stages during the process of attaching them. Fig. 6 is a section of a portion of a clipper andof a portion of the handle attached thereto. Fig` 7 is a section of a portion of a pot and of the spout attached thereto. Fig. 8 is a diagrammatic view showing the result of the various steps of the process upon the attached or auxiliary part.

A represents the main part, say the body, of a vessel, having an opening a, andB represents the attached or auxiliary part having an external annular groove 11,01? U -shaped cross-section, which receives the metal forming the margin of the opening a. The part B has also an internal annular groove of U- shaped cross-section b', which receives the margin of a disk or diaphragm C, which may be either imperforated or reticulated accorciing to the nature and purpose of the part B. If said part loe the ear for the attachment of a bail D, as shown in Figs. l to 5, inclusive,

or the handle of a dipper or other vessel, as

shown in Fig. 6, or the like, the diaphragm is impert'orated and the joint around its margin is made water-tight. If, however, said part be the discharge-spoutot the vessel or the like, then the diaphragm is reticulated and serves as a strainer. In either case the method of securing the parts together is the same and is best illustrated by Figs. 2 to 5, inclusive. The part B is formed with a sh oulder b2 and an annular flange b3, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The diaphragm C is placed upon the shoulder b2, as shown in Fig. 3, and the flange b3 contracted so as to bear upon the periphery of the diaphragm and so as to form the annular groove ZJ for receiving the margin of said diaphragm, as shown in Fig. 4. Unless the diaphragm be reticulated this makes the part B water-tight, and it then only remains to secure it water tight to the main part A. This is done by inserting the contracted flange, Fig. 4, through the opening a., as shown in Fig. 5, and expanding it, causing it to completely till the opening and embrace the metal forming the margin thereof, as shown in Figs. l, 6, and 7. cessive steps result in forming in the part B the two U -shaped grooves, as shown in Fig. S.

In practice thepart removed from themain part A in forming the opening a is used for the disk or diaphragm C when a water-tight joint is desired.

-For the sake of clear-ness the drawings show all the parts vof exaggerated thickness.

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

l. In a metallic vessel, the combination, with the part A, having opening a, ofthe part B, having external annular groove b, in which the metal forming the margin of the opening a fits, and the diaphragm C, situated within the part B, substantially as set forth.
