A DAV
Pails, Coal Hods, and other like Metallic Vessels and Artioles.
I, GEORGE HILL of The Hayes Galvanized Iron Works near Stourbridge in the
County of Worcester Hollow Ware Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this
Invention to be as follows:-
-
My invention consists in manufacturing metallic buckets tubs slop pails coal hods
and other like metallic vessels and articles, such for example as milk and other cans
and pans by the process or combination of processes hereinafter described.
I will describe my invention as applied to a metallic bucket.
Metallic buckets are ordinarily made of three or four separate parts namely of a
body in one or two pieces a bottom and foot or hoop the said parts being riveted, or
otherwise connected together the ears and handle being afterwards connected to
the body.
My invention consists in making the bottom of the bucket and the foot or hoop in
one piece with or solid to the body as hereinafter described.
In making a bucket according to my invention I cut out at a stamp a sheet iron
disc or blank and by a series of stamping or raising processes, I convert the said
disc or blank into a conical tube closed at its narrow end the closed end or bottom
having a convex figure externally. This conical tube constitutes the body of the
bucket but it is somewhat longer than that of the finished body. The conical tube
or body is further subjected to the action of one or more pairs of raising tools worked
in a stamp whereby the convex end or bottom of the body is pressed inwards so as to
form a nearly flat bottom to the body the pressing inwards of the bottom being
accompanied by the folding or raising of the marginal part of the bottom against the
inner sides of the base of the body. The double thickness of metal thus formed at
the base of the body projects below the closed bottom of the body and constitutes the
foot or hoop of the bucket. The perfecting of the shape of the foot or hoop of the
bucket is effected in a lathe. The beading of the top edge of the body is also effected
in a lathe. A metallic bucket is thus formed in which the bottom and the foot or
hoop are solid to or in one piece with the body.
I apply my invention to the manufacture of metallic tubs, slop pails, coal hods and
other like metallic vessels and articles substantially in the manner herein before
described with respect to a metallic bucket.

Pails, Coal Hods, and other like Metallic Vessels and Articles.
I GEORGE HILL of The Hayes Galvanized Iron Works near Stourbridge in the
County of Worcester, Hollow Ware Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of
my Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My invention consists in manufacturing metallic buckets, tubs, slop pails, coal hods
and other like metallic vessels and articles, such for example as milk and other cans
and pans, by the process or combination of processes herein after described.
I will describe my invention as applied to a metallic bucket.
Metallic buckets are ordinarily made of three or four separate parts namely of a
body, in one or two pieces, a bottom and foot or hoop the said parts being riveted or
otherwise connected together, the ears and handle being afterwards connected to
the body.
My invention consists in making the hottom of the bucket and the foot or hoop in
one piece with or solid to the body as hereinafter described. In making a bucket
according to my invention 1 cut out at a stamp a sheet iron disc or blank and by a
series of stamping or raising processes I convert the said disc or blank into a conical
tube closed at its narrow end, the closed end or bottom having a convex figure
externally. This conical tube constitutes the body of the bucket but it is somewhat
longer than that of the finished body. The conical tube or body is further subjected
to the action of one or more pairs of raising tools worked in a stamp whereby the
convex end or bottom of the body is pressed inwards so as to form a nearly flat
bottom to the body the pressing inwards of the bottom being accompanied by the
folding or raising of the marginal part of the bottom against the inner sides of
the base of the body. The double thickness of metal thus formed at the base of the
body projects below the closed bottom of the body and constitutes the foot or hoop
of the bucket. The perfecting of the shape of the foot or hoop of the bucket is
effected in a lathe. The beading of the top edge of the body is also effected in a lathe.
A metallic bucket is thus formed in which the bottom and the foot or hoop are solid
to or in one piece with the body.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying Drawings the
manner in which my invention is to be performed.
In making a bucket according to my invention I take a sheet iron disc or
blank and by means of a stamp and stamping tools I raise it into the dish form
represented in elevation in Figure 1 having a flange a at its mouth or open end.
I place the dish Figure 1 in a lathe and raise the flange a into the line of the body of
the dish so as to increase the height of the said dish. The edge of the dish after the
last described treatment is trimmed and the dish thereby brought to the form repre-
sented in elevation in Figure 2. By a further stamping or raising process the dish
Figure 2 is converted into the conical tube 6 Figure 3 closed at its narrow end, the

page_text: closed end or bottom marked c having a convex figure externally as represented.
The top edge of the body b of the partially made bucket is next beaded at d and the
closed bottom operated upon to form the foot or hoop as represented in section in
Figure 4. The beading of the edge of the body is effected in a lathe.
C
In forming the bottom of the body of the bucket and the hoop or foot from the
convex closed end c, Figure 3, of the body b, I proceed as follows:-By means of one
or more pairs of raising tools worked in a stamp the convex end or bottom of the
bucket Figure 3 is pressed inwards in the manner represented in Figure 4. By the
pressing inwards of the convex end or bottom of the body b the marginal part of
the bottom is folded or raised against the inner side of the base of the body as
represented, the folded part or double thickness of metal being marked e and the
pressed in bottom c. The partly made body of the bucket is next placed in a lathe.
and the folded or doubled parts at e are closed upon one another and the bottom c at
the same time made less concave as represented in the section Figure 5.
For the purpose of better exhibiting the folded metal at the base of the bucket
I have shown the folded parts at e slightly separated in Figure 5, but it must be
understood that the two parts of the folded metal at e are pressed into contact or
nearly into contact by the spinning or fashioning operation in the lathe and instead of
leaving the bottom of the bucket concave as represented a nearly flat bottom may be
formed by the spinning process. The double thickness of metal thus formed at the
base of the body b projects below the closed bottom c and constitutes the foot or hoop
of the bucket. The shape of the foot or hoop of the bucket is finally perfected in a
lathe as represented in elevation in Figure 6 where the finished foot or hoop is
marked e.
The bottom c and foot or hoop e are thus made solid to or in one piece with the
body of the bucket. The bucket is finished by applying to it the cars f, fand
handle 9 as represented in Figure 6.
I apply my invention to the manufacture of metallic tubs, slop pails, coal hods and
other like metallic vessels and articles substantially in the manner herein before
described and illustrated with respect to a metallic bucket.
In making the foot or hoop of the articles last enumerated the shape and depth of
the said foot or hoop are varied according to the shape and character of the articles
being manufactured.
The tools and appliances which I use in carrying my invention into effect do not
differ in any essential respect from those commonly employed for effecting like
operations for other purposes and as the said tools and appliances constitute no part
my invention I do not think it necessary to describe or represent the same.
of
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed 1 declare that I claim
as my invention of "Improvements in the manufacture of metallic buckets, tubs, slop
pails, coal hods and other like metallic vessels and articles."
Making the bottom and foot or hoop of the bucket or other vessel or article in one
piece with or solid to the body of the vessel or article by the combined processes of
stamping and spinning or shaping in a lathe, the said processes being conducted
substantially as herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying
Drawings.
