Improvements in and connected with Pails.
We, DAVID MACDONALD, of 23, Grange Avenue, and WILLIAM TASSIE TASSIE, of
163, Beverley Street, both in the City of Toronto, in the County of York; and
Province of Ontario, Canada, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of the invention is to make a pail having thimble sockets into which
a spring handle may be sprung and from which it may readily be detached, and it
consists, essentially, in suitably attaching thimble sockets to the pail which are
adapted to receive bent ends of the spring handle where it remains until taken out.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pail with handle in place.
Figure 2 is a detail view showing part of the wire handle in position to be placed
in a thimble socket.
Figure 3 represents different views of the thimble socket.
In the drawings, like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the
different figures.
In Fig. I A is the wire handle; B, B are the thimble sockets in place, into which
the bent ends a, of the wire handle are placed. C is the body of the pail.
In Fig. 2 A is part of the handle with bent end a about to enter the thimble B.
In Fig. 3 B is the thimble socket showing the progressive stages for placing
it in the body of the pail, and E is the first shoulder of the said socket, and is
on the inside of the pail when the thimble socket is in position.
Fis the second shoulder of the said socket, and is on the outside of the pail when
the thimble socket is in position, and is formed by pressing down the neck G, of
the thimble with a die.
His a dotted line representing the body of the pail which lies between the first
and second shoulder of the socket.
In making the pail, the body C, is cut out with a section die to the required size,
the seams folded and formed, and the bottom put on like an ordinary pail, when it
is ready for the handle. The thimble socket B, is formed out of copper with a steel
die, and is pressed into a hole in the body made with a punch, in the usual place
where handles are fitted on, as represented in Fig. 1, and it fits so closely that the
contents of the pail cannot escape. The bent ends a, of the handle are then
put in the thimble sockets, as represented in Fig. 1, and may be removed therefrom
by springing the handle outwardly.

page_text: We, DAVID MACDONALD, of Number 23, Grange Avenue, and WILLIAM TASSIE
TASSIE, of Number 163 Beverley Street, both in the City of Toronto, in the County
of York, and Province of Ontario, Canada, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
The object of the invention is to make a pail having thimble sockets into which
a spring handle may be sprung and from which it may readily be detached, and it
consists, essentially, in suitably attaching thimble sockets to the pail which are
adapted to receive bent ends of the spring handle where it remains until taken out.
Figure 1 of the drawings left with the Provisional Specification is a perspective
view of a pail with handle in place.
Figure 2 is a detail view showing part of the wire handle in position to be placed
in a thimble socket.
Figure 3 represents different views of the thimble socket.
In the drawings, like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the
different figures.
In Fig. 1A is the wire handle; B, B are the thimble sockets in place, into which
the bent ends a, of the wire handle are placed. C is the body of the pail.
In Fig. 2 A is part of the handle with bent end a about to enter the thimble B.
In Fig. 3 B is the thimble socket showing the progressive stages for placing
it in the body of the pail, and E is the first shoulder of the said socket, and is
on the inside of the pail when the thimble socket is in position.
Fis the second shoulder of the said socket, and is on the outside of the pail when
the thimble socket is in position, and is formed by pressing down the neck G, of
the thimble with a die.
H is a dotted line representing the body of the pail which lies between the first
and second shoulder of the socket.
In making the pail, the body C, is cut out with a section die to the required size,
the seams folded and formed, and the bottom put on like an ordinary pail, when it
is ready for the handle. The thimble socket B, is formed out of copper with a steel
die, and is pressed into a hole in the body made with a punch in the usual place
where handles are fitted on, as represented in Fig. 1, and it fits so closely that the
contents of the pail cannot escape. The bent ends a of the handle are then
put in the thimble sockets, as represented in Fig. 1, and may be removed therefrom
by springing the handle outwardly.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A pail-ear comprising a thimble socket closed at its inner end and open at its
outer end when in place, and formed from a single blank, having a shoulder thereon
designed to bear against the inner face of the pail, and a flange formed by turning
over the outer edge, which grips the outer face of the pail and is substantially
flush therewith, substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
A pail or bucket having on two of its sides an ear comprising a thimble socket
closed at its inner end and open at its outer end when in place, and formed from
a single blank, having a shoulder thereon designed to bear against the inner face of
the pail, and a flange formed by turning over the outer edge, which grips the outer
face of the pail and is substantially flush therewith, and a bail or handle having its

page_text: ends entering the flanged ends of said thimble sockets, substantially as described
and for the purpose specified.
