Description
vrares YUWE PATENT Farce@ PETER H. NILES, OF BOSTON, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND AUGUSTUS RUSS,
OF CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS. I
HVIPROVED SEAM FOR SHEET=METAL WARE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,0! 5, dated May 22, 1866.
To all whom it may concer/n:
Be it known that I, PETER H. NILES, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented anew and useful improvement in the construction of thejoints of tin cans or boxes and other utensils made of sheet metal, which I term the, socket-joint 5 7 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings7 and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
Figure l exhibits t-he piece of sheet metal which forms the body of a cylindrical' can unrolled after it has been formed and the edges have been prepared to make the joint. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the body of the can as formed, showing the external appearance of the joint. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the body, showing the internal appearance of the same joint. Fig. 4 is a trans\f'erse section, showing the articulation of the socket and bead.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A piece of sheet metal is cut of the proper size and shape for the body of a cylindrical can, and, after being formed between rolls in the usual manner, a semicircular socket or recess, a, is formed in the vertical margin, b. The opposite Vertical margin, c, is rolled over so as to form the bead d, the convex surface of which will coincide with and t into the concave surface of the semicireular socket a. The bead d and the socket a., being united, form the socket-joint e.
The advantages of this joint are that it forms a neat tlush joint on the outer surface ot' the can or box,presentingachannel through which the solder tlows down into the socket, and, uniting with the contiguous surfaces of the tin, forms a joint of great strength and solidity. The surfaces of the tin lie so close that a very small amount of solder is sufficient to ill all the interstices and make a solid seam or rib.
No rough edges or angular projections are formed on the inner surface of the can, but instead thereof a smooth semicircular rib, of fering no obstructions to the process of washing or cleansing the can.
In the formation of this joint there are no sharp angles impairing the strength of the metal, which enables the manufacturer to economize in the quality of the meta-l used.
It is obvious that this joint may be adapted to any form of sheet-metal vessels.
That which I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The socket-joint e, formed by the articulation of the socket a and the bead d, substantially and for the uses and purposes above described.
P. H. NILES. Witnesses:
