PAPER BARREL.

r Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1908.

Application filed July 14, 1906. Serial No. 326,227.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN HERB, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Barrels, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

It is the object to obtain a package which may be used as a substitute for the ordinary wooden barrel, or keg, and which may be vation of the head hoop showing means of securing same; Fig. 4 is a section on line 4-4, Fig. 1;Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of the hoop showing means of securing same Fig. 6 is a cross sectionof the hoops;

Fig. 7 is a longitudinal section on line 77', Fig. 5; and Fig. 8 illustrates the head being inserted in the barrel proper. Fig 9'is asection on line 99, Fig. 7.

The body portion of the package is formed of flexible sheet material, such as paper or pulp board, and is formed by winding a plurality of plies of said material into cylindrical form. As illustrated, the. body A is formed of two plies of the material, the ends of the outer and inner plies terminating adjacent to each other.

B are hoops preferably of metal surrounding the body. These hoops are formed of beaded bands of sheet metal, which are wound about the lies of the body and have *their opposite en s in interlocking engagement with each other. This interlocking engagement is preferably formed by overlapping the ends of the bands and li-pping t e same together; that is, the metal is punched to form an inwardly projecting portion on i the outer of the overlapping ends which engages the registering recess in the inner end. To more firmly attach the bands to the body, the are referably secured by staples at a plura ity 0 points. These staples O are arranged to straddle the central bead D of the band, and to pass through apertures Etherein, being preferably clenched on the inner side of the body. The 1i ping engagement between .the ends of the iiand is preferably arranged adjacent to the ends of the outer ply of the body, and the metal is crimped inward, as indicated at F. This prevents danger of the end of the band catching upon some external object during the handling of the package, as the crimp will draw this end slightly wlthin the circle of the band. Furthermore, b making the lips G larger at their cut ends than at their bent ends, they will form a clove tail engagement both with the inner end of the band and the body material, which will hold the outer end of the band from projecting.

The heads of the paper barrel are preferably made similar to the ordinary wooden barrel head, and may be composed of sections having a croze formed at the periphery. For securing these heads to the package, I em loy a band, or inner chime hoop H prefera 1y also formed of a beaded sheet metal band, and the beading of this band is such as to form a groove or croze for engaging the pe riphery of the heads, and securing the sections thereof together. The hoo H is of a diameter to tightly fit Within the ody of the package, and its width is such as to project outward beyond the head. The outer edge is provided with an outwardly turned flange I, which projects over and protects the outer ed e of the body.

en the head is placed in position, it will be surrounded by the outer hoop of the body and may be secured by driving nails, or other securing device through the two metal hoops, and into the edge of the head. When thus secured, the projecting chime will be completely metal ound.

In securing the hoo s to the body, the end of a hoop is first stapled in position and the opposite end, which overlaps this portion, is secured by a sta 1e adjacent to the first mentioned staple. urthermore, the crimp F is located so that the overlapped end of the hoo will be bent over the first staple and will be eld in position by the last one. These staples form of themselves a securing means for the hoop, but additional security is obtained by the lip engagement of one with the other. y securing the hoops surrounding the body at a plurality of spaced points thereabout, and by passing the securing devices lapp through the several plies of the body, cree ing of the plies upon each other is effectual y prevented.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. In a barrel, the combination with a cylindrical body and a head therefor, of a chime hoo formed with a V-shaped croze for engaging said head and fitting within said body, said hoop bein removable with said head.

2. In a barre the combination of a c lindrical body, a head therefor, a chime fioop having a. V-shaped croze for receiving said head and fitting within the end portlon of said body said hoop being removably attached to said head and means for detachably securing said hoop to the body.

3. In a barrel, the combination-with a cylindrical body, of a metallic band wound about said body and holding same undertension, the ends of said band being overlapped and a lip punched inward from the overlapped end of said band forming a dove tail engagement with the inner end.

4. In a barrel, the combination with a cylindrical body, of a metallic band wound about said body and holding same under tension, the ends of said band being overed, means for" securing the ends of said band to the body, and a dove tail lipped engagement between the ends of said band for securing the same to each other.

5. In a barrel, the combination with a cylindrical non-contractible body, of a head therefor having a V-shaped croze fitting within said body, and a chime hoo interposed between said'head and body a so having a V- shaped croze for receiving the croze of thehead and clamping the same, whereby the resiliency of said hoop will cause it to form a tight joint between said head and non-contractible body, said hoop being removably attached to said head.

6. In a barrel, the combination with a cylindrical body, of a chime hoop surrounding the end of said cylindrical body, and exerting an inward compression thereon, a head provided with a croze, an inner chime hoop having a V-shaped croze engaging the croze of said head, and a cylindrical portion, the inner tapering portion of said croze forming an entering Wedge for the head and hoops, the said hoop being of a size to exert an outward compression on said body and embed itself therein.

7. Ina barrel, the combination with a cylindrical body, of a chime hoop surrounding the end portion of said body, and exerting an inward compression thereon, a head provided with a croze, an inner chime hoop having a V-shaped portion fitting the croze of said head, a cylindrical portion, and an outwardly projecting end flange portion, the croze fitting portion of said hoop forming an entering wedge for the head and hoop, and

.into said head.

8. In a barrel, the combination with a cylindrical body, of a band wound about said body and holding the same under tension, the ends of said band being overlapped, means fastening the inner end thereof to the body, a lip punched inward from the overlapped end engaging a slot in the inner end and adapted to form a dovetailed engagement therewith, and means for fastening the overlapped end to said body.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in,v presence of two witnesses.

JOHN HERB.
