THOMAS l. BURGERT, OF (lrALlON, OllIlO.
BAIL-EAR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Registered Sept. 5, 1905.
Application filed March 3l, 1905. Serial Nn. 253,105.
Be it known that l, '.lnoams B. Bonanni', a citizen of the United States, residing' at (nralion, in the county of Crawford and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Vlmprovements in Bail-Ears, of which the following' is a specilication.
This invention is particularly suitable and designed as a bail-ear for buckets and the like, although itis alsoapplicableto handles for pans and similar constructions. Itis characterized by improved means to secure a firm attachment of the ear or handle to the pail or other vessel. A common :form of bail-earsl have the disadvantage that they are attached on one side only and are liable to tear out of the tin or other metal forming the wall of the vessel. in my invention the ear extends on both sides of said wall, being riveted thereto, and a l'irm and solid connection is obtained.
'lhe invention has a further advantage that the ear may be readily shaped and stamped out of a sing'le piece of metal.
,ln the accompanying' drawings, .Figures l and 2 are respectively outside and inside eleva.- tions of the bail-ear. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line B 3 of Fig. l. Fig. 4: is an edge view of the invention as applied toa panhandle. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the stamped ear-blank.
ln making an ear a blank is first stamped as shown in Fig. 5, forming a body T and a tongue 8, the body being' provided at each end with countersunk rivet-holes t). The tongue S starts at about the middle of the blank, or perhaps a little beyond the middle, and extends a sufficient distance to give the desired height of thebail-ear connection above the rim of the bucket. The blank is then folded upon itself at or about the middle thereof, with the tongue 8 remaining' unfolded, producing a construction (shown in Figs. l, Q, 3, and i) wherein the opposite sides of the blank-body are adapted to embrace the rim of the pail or other vessel l0. lVhen so folded, the rivet-holes 9 register with each other on the inside and outside of the pail, and holes are made through the wall of the vessel, also registering therewith, so that rivets 1l may be passed through the holes and headed on opposite sides to hold the ear to the vessel. The rivet-holes 9 are countersunk, so that the rivets may be readily driven therethrough, and this countersunk construction has the advantage that the body of the metal of the ear under the pressure of the rivet is drawn into the hole in the metal forming the wall of the vessel, as shown in Fig. 3, so that said metal is upset somewhat at the point where it bears on the rivet, and thus presents an edge which will not readily cut out or become loose.
In Fig. i the tongue 8 is bent outwardly from the wall of the vessel and is secured to the pan-handle 1Q, forming an etlective means for attachment thereof.
VPerhaps the greatest benefit effected by this invention is the strength of the attachment of the ear to the vessel. It will be seen that the body portion of the ear embraces the rim of the vessel, so that there is no outward strain upon the rivets, and there is little liability o'f the ear becoming loose or of pulling the rivets out of the tin or other metal forming the wall of the vessel. The ears are usually made of stouter metal than the vessel, and the construction shown gives the rivets a strong connection at both ends or on both sides with the stouter metal of the ears.
lVhat l claim as new, and desire to secure b v Letters Patent, isM
1. An ear for metal and other vessels, having a body folded over the rim of the vessel and countersunk ri vetholes the edges of which on one side are drawn by the rivets into the holes formed in the wall of the vessel.
Q. An ear for metal or other vessels, comprising' a body folded to lit over the rim of the vessel and having registering rivet-holes in both sides anda tongue cut inthe body of the ear and projecting at about the Vfold thereof.
Vln testimony whereofl l have signed my naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
