Complete Specification Left, 8th Aug., 1900-Accepted, 13th Oct., 1900
I, JAMES ANDERTON SUTCLIFFE, of Crumpsall Mills, Harpurhey, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Sheet Metal Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to the
manufacture of sliver cans the object of my invention being to strengthen said
cane.
For this purpose I fit to the upper edge of the can and where applicable to
the bottom edge also an angular rim which I obtain by pressing or stamping
from a disc of mild sheet steel: I place said angular rim on either the
inside or the outside of the top or the bottom of the can to which it is secured
either by soldering, rivetting, or like means or it may be rolled over so as to
clip the edge of the can.
By these means the rings are rendered less liable to fracture, as the pressure
required in the formation of the ring herein above described causes the metal to
be closer grained and better able to withstand rough usage.

Improvements in sliver cans.
I, JAMES ANDERTON SUTCLIFFE, of Crumpsall Mills, Harpurhey, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Sheet Metal Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The improvements which form the subject of this invention relate to the
manufacture of sliver cans, the object of my invention being to strengthen said
cans.
In the accompanying drawing Figs. 2 and 5 are part sectional and part side
elevations of aliver cans, Fig. 2 showing my invention applied to an ordinary
solid bottom can, and Fig. 5 showing my invention applied to a buffer botton
can such as is described in the Specification of my Patent No. 12,888 of 1889 :;
Figs. 1, 3 and 4 are details of my invention.
In these views similar letters refer to similar parts.

page_text: For the purpose of this invention I fit to the upper edge of a can as a an
angular ring or and where applicable to the bottom edge also a like form
of ringe which I obtain by pressing or stamping from a disc of mild sheet steel
or other suitable metal. I place said angular ring on either the inside or the
outside of the top and the bottom of the can as shown in Figs. 2 and 5. Said
ring is secured to the can either by soldering rivetting or like means or it may
be rolled over so as to clip the edge of the can. Rings or rims required to he
emploved in the construction of sliver cans when formed in the manner herein
described are rendered less liable to fracture as the metal is closer grained
and better able to withstand rough usage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. Sliver cans that are constructed with an angular ring or rim either on
the inside or the outside of the top or the bottom, or both the top and the bottom
of the can, said ring being obtained by stamping or pressing a dise of mild sheet
steel or other suitable metal and fitted to the can either by rivetting soldering,
or like means, substantially as and for the purpose as herein before described.
2. The combination with a sliver can of angular rings obtained by pressing or
stamping from a dise of mild sheet steel and fitted to said can substantially as
and for the purpose herein before described.
