ALFRED T. KRUSE, OF DEFIA'NCE, O-IIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE AMERICAN STEEL ,PACKAGE COMPANY, OF lEFANCE, OHIO, ACORPORATION OFOHIO.

CONSTRUCTION OF RECEP-TACLES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 21, 1909.

|Application filed August 1, 1908. Serial No. 446,380.

Be itlinown that I, ALFRED T. KRUsE, a citizen df the United States, residing at De-v liance, in the county of Defiance and State of Ohioyhave invented certain new and use' larly to the construction of metallic barrels and similar vessels designed to carry fluids or other substances which necessitate a fluid or liquid-tight receptacle.

The invention relates more particularly to the form of the head and method of constructing, and means for securing the same, to the main body portion of the barrel or similar vessel, and uniting'the meeting edges thereof to form a fluid-tight barrel orpackage.

The primary object of the invention is to produce a generally-improved vessel of this class, which may be completely drained of its contents by reason of the form of the improved head and its disposition relative to the barrel body.

Withl these ends in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring `to the drawings, forming a part ofthis specication,-Figure 1, is a central longitudinal sectional'view of a metallic barrel, constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2, a view of the bung-head end of the same. Fig. 3, a view of the chime end of thebarrel body, showing the form of same (preparatory to receiving the improved hea vFig. 4, an enlarged detailed 'view of the beaded edge portion of the head asit appears secured within" the chime ofthe barrel body. Fig. 5, a similar view showing the improved drain-openingbushing and drain-pocket portion of the improved head.

Similar numerals of reference designate like parts throughout all the figures ofthe drawings. Y

The barrel body `1, is preferably cylindrical in form, and, if desired, may be provided with a .pair of circumferential-outwardly-extending tread-ribs or corrugations' n), arranged one on'each side of the longitudinal center of the vessel, and designed to aford a bearing-surface for rolling the same in transportation or storage. The barrel lbody is provided at its ends with annular Ishoulders 3, terminating in head-securing chime-welding-llanges 4, adapted to be bent or curled inwardly about the beaded edges of the barrel heads, and secured thereto, as hereinafter described.

The heads 5, are of concavo--convex shape, and are so disposed within the barrel body as to form a concavo-faced head, and said heads are provided with an annularbeading l formed by curling the edges inwardly and over and about wire 7. One of the heads is provided, near one edge, with a drain pocket or recess 8, extending from one side of the head and into the convex portion, and having its base or bottom portion 9, at right angles of the longitudinal axis ofthe barrel body. The base, or bottom portion 9, of said drainpocket or recess 1s provided with an opening 10, and abushing 11, is fit-ted and secured within said opening 10, by being provided with an annular tapered weldingiange 12, adapted to cover the metal about the opening 10, `and to be suitably welded thereto by any suitable and convenient proccured in the opening 13. The bushing 14,

is provided with a threaded opening 15, designed to form 'a vent-opening for the inflow of air while the barrel is being drained of its contents through the opening of the bushing 11.

The method of securing the barrel heads in the ends of the barrel body is as follows: The ends of the barrel are rst formed up so as to provide the annular shoulders 3, terminatlng in outstanding chime-weldingflanges 4, as indicated in Fi 3, of the drawings, the shoulders 3, conJointly with the outstanding flanges 4, forming an annular recess or seat for the reception of the annular headings 6, of the heads 5. The flanges 4, are then bent inwardly upon the headings 6, forming a welding edge 4a, preferably, di-

rectly above the center of the headings 6.

known as autogenous Welding. The'beaded edges ofthe barrel heads are thus conveniently and securely secured at the chime end's of the barrel body forming a perfect fluid or liquid-tight receptacle.

It'will also be observed that by reason of .the construction and disposition of the outlet barrel head, the contents of the barrel or vessel may be readily and completely drained.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying draw'- ings, the construction and advantages of my invention-Wilbe A readily understood.

` with annular shoulders having outstanding welding flanges bent inwardly and terminating in Welding edges above said shoulders, and heads having their edges curled inwardly forming annular beadings resting Within and partially covered'by and Welded to v sa-id `welding' anges.: l

3. A barrel, vcomprising ai body provided at its endsv with, annular shoulders terminating in outstanding .head-securing'chime flanges andheads having their'edges curled about' a wire forming annular beadings restf, ing on said annularshouldersand partially i covered v by-'and Welded to saidrvvelding- A barrelf,fcomprising `a bodyf1'j1ovid-ed at its ends With. annular shoulders terminating in# outstanding semicylindrical shaped Welding flanges presenting inwardly extending 'Welding edges, heads provided with annular headings resting on said shoulders and' partially covered and seated Within said Welding flanges, and a Welding uniting said 'Welding edges to said beadings.

5. In a barrel, the combination With the body thereof; of a convex concavo-faced head provided at one side with a depressed drain-pocket having its bottom extending from one side of said head and at right angles to the longitudinal axis of said body.

G. In a barrel, a convex concave-faced head provided with a drain-pocket extending into` its convex side from one edge thereof.

7. In a barrel, a convex concavo-faced head .provided With a drain-pocket extending from its convex side and provided With an opening flush with the bottom of said drain pocket, and a bushing mounted in said opening and provided With an annular tapered flange 'Welded to said head about said opening.

8. In a barrel, or similar vessel, a main body portion, anda vconvex concavo-facedhead secured thereto'and provided Withv al marginal drain-pocket oE-set from the -co-` vex side of said head, and having its base or bottom portion extending from one side of said vessel and at right angles to the longitudinal axisof said main body portion.
