ELWOOD C. PHILLIPS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF THREE-FOURTHS TO CHARLES R. BARRETT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

WROUGHT-METAL BARREL.

SPECIFICATION forming· part of Letters Patent No. 704,366, dated July 8, 1902.

Application filed March 28,1902, Serial No. 100,402, (No model.)

To all 'whoTi'b it may concern:

Be it known that I, Elwood C. Phillips, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook' 5 and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WroughtMetal Barrels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that type of io wrought-metal'barrels and like fluid-containing packages in which a series of cylindrical sections stamped, drawn, or spun from sheets or blanks of metal into the required shape are secured together at their meeting edges 15 to form the completed article; and the present improvement has forits objects to provide a simple and efficient construction of parts wherewith the sections comprising the barrel are connected together in a tight and sub20 stantial manner and with which an inner lining is secured in place in a manner to prevent access of liquid between the contiguous surfaces of the outer barrel-shell and the inner lining to cause a corroding action either 25 chemical or electrolytic in its nature of either of such surfaces, all as will hereinafter more fully appearand be more particularly pointed out in the claims. I attain such objects by the construction and arrangement, of parts 30 illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which—

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a barrel with parts in section and embodying the presentinvention; Fig. 2, an enlarged fragmentary 35 section of the same.

Similar numerals of reference indicate like parts in both views.

As represented in the drawings, the barrel will comprise in its simpler form two sub40 stantially counterpart outer or end sections 1 and 2 and a central connecting-section 3. All of said sections are formed from suitablyshaped sheets or blanks of wrought metal by any of the usual drawing, stamping, or spin45 ning operations usual to the art, and while each section is shown as formed of a single integral piece of metal it is within the scope of the present invention to form the various sections of a number of pieces of the required 50 size and shape secured together in a substan tial manner by welding or other usual means and as the judgment of the constructor may suggest. The aforesaid series of sections will have a cylindrical form and will have the usual flaring form, as shown, to afford the 55 usual bilge or belly to the finished barrel.

In the present invention the central member 3, of an annular form, as shown, is provided with offsetted primary extensions 4 and δ at its opposite ends, which are screw- 60 threaded externally, so as to screw into the correspondingly-screw-threaded ends of the respective outer sections 1 and 2 in the assemblage of the sections together to form a completed barrel. 65

In addition the central section is provided with secondary extensions 6 and 7, the outer surfaces or peripheries of which are tapered, as shown, and are adapted to have engagement with correspondingly-flared portions of 70 the respective end sections 1 and 2 when the parts are assembled and insure a tight joint at the points of union of the parts.

When the barrel is to remain unlined, the tapering outer peripheries of the secondary 75 extensions 6 and 7 will have direct contact with the correspondingly-flared portions of the respective end sections. When, however, the barrel is to be provided with an incorrodible lining, such contact will not be a direct 80 one, but will be an indirect one, which is made by the intervention of the barrel-lining in manner now set forth.

and 9 are lining sheets or plates arranged within the respective end sections 1 and 2 and 85 extended to the screw-threaded ends of the same, as shown.

is a lining-sheet arranged within the central annular section 3, with the ends of such lining folded over the secondary exten- 90 sions 6 and 7 of the same, as shown. As so constructed and arranged the parts of the lining 10, which are folded over the extensions 6 and 7, are adapted to constitute the tapering surfaces of the central section 3 and 95 engage the correspondingly-formed surfaces of the linings 8 and 9 in effecting a tight joint between the sections in the operation of assembling the parts together as a completed barrel. 100
