IMPROVE- MENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF DRAWING CANS FOR COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS MATERIAL

I JOHN WHITWORTH of 3 Pick ford Street Royton in the County of Lancaster,
Tin Plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention of "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF DRAWING CANS FOR COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS
MATERIAL," to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is so to improve the mode of securing the bottom
and the binder in position that the can is rendered stronger and more durable than
heretofore. Instead of soldering the bottom upon the can and then soldering the
binder in position I perforate the binder with a series of holes which are by
preference arranged to come in a line with the bottom of the cylindrical edge of
the body of the can and with the outside edge of the bottom of the can.
In this manner and by means of the said holes I am enabled by applying the
soldering iron to solder each of the holes and thus to permit the solder to run in so
as to make four combinations at once. In other words-the bottom and the binder
are secured simultaneously to the body-the outside edge of the bottom is secured
to the binder and the edge of the inside ring is at the same time secured to the
bottom. Each of the holes thus treated with solder becomes a solid support to the
bottom part of the can the binder will have no tendency to crimp and give way as
heretofore-and the bottom will also be rendered firmer.

I JORN WHITWORTH of 3 Pickford Street Royton in the County of Lancaster,
Tin Plate Worker, 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:—
The object of this invention is so to improve the mode of securing the bottom
and the binder in position that the can is rendered stronger and more durable than
heretofore.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents an exterior view and Fig. 2 a
sectional view of a drawing can embracing my improvements, the metal being
shewn exaggerated in thickness to shew the construction more clearly.
Instead of soldering the bottom upon the can and then soldering the binder in
position I perforate the binder a with a series of holes b which are by preference
arranged near to the bottom c of the cylindrical edge of the body d of the can and
in a line with the trned up edge c of the bottom f of the can as seen more clearly
by the dotted lines in Fig. 3, which illustrates a sectional view of the bottom
separately.
In this manner and by means of the said holes I am enabled after placing the
parts in position 'and by applying the soldering iron to solder each of the holes b
.successively and thus to permit the solder to run in so as to make four com-
binations at once. In other words the bottom f and the binder a are secured
simultaneously to the body d-the outside edge of the bottom fis secured to the
binder and the edge of the inside ring g is at the same time secured to the bottom.
Each of the holes thus treated with solder becomes a solid support to the bottom
part of the can and the binder will have no tendency to crimp and give way as
heretofore the bottom will also be rendered firmer.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
In the construction of drawing cans for cotton and other fibrous material
perforating the binder so as to solder and secure the bottom of the can and the
binder and other parts simultaneously, substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
