UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HORACE J. SCOTT, OF HILL CITY, MINNESOTA.
PAIL.
Application filed March 3, 1919. Serial No. 280,289.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HORACE J. SCOTT, a subject of the King of England, residing at Hill City, Aitkin county, Minnesota, United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pails, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates more especially to the construction of pails and like containers provided with endless wire hoops in connection with the attachment thereto of coversealing wire connections and bails or handies, also the strengthening of such pails against laterally applied pressure and shock during transportation.
The particular features of the invention are the provisionof a means of attachment of the sealing wires and bails to the hoop without weakening the latter or rendering it subject to stretching circumferentially whereby to loosen its binding eifect on the staves, this being accomplished by forming bail-attaching loops in the hoop in such manner that the bight of the loop is interlocked to prevent spreading under strain; also routing out under the hoops to provide a passage for cover-sealing wires to be bent around the looped hoop for attachment thereto; also the provision in combination of a shouldered cover and the upper permanent hoop immediately contiguous thereto whereby the pail at its upper edge is supported both interiorly and exteriorly against shock from other pails or freight being transported in the same car.
It is a common experience of shippers and carriers that a large percentage of'pails in a shipment are crushed and otherwise damaged by relative squeezing or striking together of the units making up the shipment, and that pails are destroyed by the stretching of the hoops due to straightening or opening up of the bail-attaching loops, and the present invention meets these difficult conditions and avoids such losses as will readily appear.
In order that the invention may be the more readily understood I have hereinafter described a preferred embodiment of the same, together with certain minor modifications, in connection with a drawing illustrating the invention. Obviously the invention is susceptible of embodiment in other varied constructional forms without departure from its essence and material sacrifice of its advantages. Wherefore, it is to be understood that the drawing and description are to be taken in an illustrative and not in an unnecessarily limiting sense. In the drawing Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a pail embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary vertical section through a portion of the pail illustrated in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail perspective of a fragment of the hoop with the bail-attaching loop formed therein;
Fig. at is a view similar to Fig. 8 and showing a slight modification; and
Fig. 5 illustrates in perspective a tub embodying the invention.
Having particular reference to the drawing, the pail is indicated at 11 made up of a plurality of staves 12 bound together by a lower hoop 13, a middle hoop 14c and an upperhoop 15. These hoops are of endless wire formed by buttwelding prior to the assemblage of the pail. By using endless welded hoops of wire absolute provision is made against any stretching of the hoops such as is encountered where the hoop is formed by a wire having its ends twisted together as is frequently done. This advantage of the endless wire hoop would be rendered nugatory, however, if when providing loops for the attachment of bails and sealing wires such loops were formed in a manner to permit of opening up under circumferentially applied stresses so as to render possible a stretching of the hoops circumferentially.
Having this fact in view, I provide in the hoop 15 loops for attachment of the ends of the bail 16 by twisting of the wire so as to bring the loop into a plane at right angles to the general plane of the hoop as indicated in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 in both of which cases the loop 17 extends laterally of the hoop 15, in Fig. 3 such extension being out wardly from the pail and in Fig. i being upstanding along the side of the pail. This twisting of the wire to form the loop is done in such manner as to interlock the portions of the wire forming the loop against stresses applied circumferentially of the pail, thus absolutely precluding any stretching of the hoop by giving way of the loop.
In Fig. 5 the invention is shown as applied to a tub which, for the purposes of this specification, is considered the equivalent of a pail, the term pail being herein used in a generic sense. In the case of a tub,
as is well known, two bails are provided, one on each side of the tub, one being shown in Fig. 5 and lettered 16".
The sealing wires 18 may be attached to similar loops formed in the hoop 15 or, pref erably, to avoid the provision of a multiplicity of loops in the hoop, the material of the pail may be routed out beneath the hoop in a direction at right angles thereto as indicated'at 19, to provide a passage beneath the hoop for the sealing wires, the ends of which are then bent around the hoops as clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, or welded to the hoop as indicated in Fig. 5.
In order to support the upper edge of the pail both exteriorly and interiorly against blows orsustained pressure in the case of closely packed shipments, I dispose the permanent bail supporting hoop 15 closely adjacent the upper edge of the pailas illustrated and, in combination therewith, employ a cover 20 having its peripheral edge 21 overlying the edge of the pail and interiorly shouldered as indicated at 22 to bear against the interior of the pail adjacent the upper edge and opposite the hoop 15. It will thus be observed that the collapsing of c the edge of the pail under exterior pressure is prevented by the shoulder while at the same time the staves of the pail are closely boundand held against the abutting shoulder by the loop 15.
It has been sought previously to strengthen the upper edge of pails by providing a supplemental angle strip binding the periphery of the cover and extending below the upper edge of the pail, and also to provide a supplemental binding band about the upper edge of the pail above the hoop in connection with ashouldered cover, but in'such cases the hoop itself has not been utilized for the purpose and the external and internal reinforcement has involved additional expense which by my invention is avoided.
I claim:
1. A pail including an endless wire hoop having laterally extending integral loops for the attachment of sealing wires, bails and the like, the-Wire of the hoop interlocked at the loop to prevent circumferential stretch- 2. A pail including an endless wire hoop having laterally extending integral loops for the attachment of sealin wires, bails and the like, the loop former by twisting the wire of the hoop to interlock the same against circumferential stress.
3. A pail including an endless wire hoop having upstanding integral loops for the attachment of sealing wires, bails and the like, the loop formed by twisting the wire of the hoop into a plane at right angles to the plane of the'hoop whereby to interlock the same against circumferential stresses.
4. A pail including an endless wire hoop having laterallyextending integral loops for the attachment of sealing wires, bails and the like, the wire of the hoop interlocked at the loop to prevent circumferential stretching, the material of the pail beneath the hoop routed out in a direction at right angles thereto, and a cover-sealing wire extending beneath the hoop and around the same to form an attachment therewith.
5. A pail including an endless wire hoop having laterally extending integral loops for the attachment of sealing wires, bails and the like, the loop formed by twisting the Wire of the hoop to interlock the same against circumferential stress, the said hoop exteriorly arranged closely adjacent the upper edge of the pail, in combination with a cover disposed with its periphery overlying the upper edge of the pail and having a shouldered portion disposed inwardly of the pail edge immediately contiguous to the hoop whereby to support the pail edge both interiorly and exterior-1y.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
Mrs. H. I. STEMBACH, CHAS. W. SUTTON.
