PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Metallic Buckets or Packages for Conveying
Materials, and other Uses.
I, JAMES RICHARDSON CARRUTHERS, of 70, King Street, Tradeston, in the
County of Glasgow, North Britain, Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say :—
My said invention has for its object to improve the construction of parts of or
connected with metallic buckets or packages such as may be usel for conveying
various materials such as paint, cement, and various ground or unground substances,
and which can be used like ordinary buckets.
For
In carrying out the invention a metallic bucket is made of the ordinary conical
form or it may be cylindrical, and is provided with a cover which consists of a
disk having a small flange formed round its edge. This cover fits inside the top
edge of the bucket with its flange outwards, a slight recess being, by preference,
formed inside the edge of the bucket for the rim of the cover to bear on.
the purpose of securing the cover to the bucket metal straps are fixed upon the
cover at suitable points and are shaped to clip upon the edge of the bucket and
can be clinched or bended inwards so as to engage below the wired part of the
bucket edge or below a hoop forming part of the bucket edge. A half-hoop
handle is jointed to the bucket, and a hook is provided to fit loosely on the
handle, and to serve for suspending the bucket, or for opening the cover, the cover
being provided with a turn-down ring with which the hook can be engaged. If
the cover is placed with its ring near one of the joints of the handle some leverage
can be applied in opening the cover, whilst with any position of the ring the
using of the handle will facilitate the opening of the cover.
Dated this First day of May 1895.

Improvements in Metallic Buckets or Packages for Conveying
Materials, and other Uses.
I, JAMES RICHARDSON CARRUTHERS, of 70, King Street, Tradeston, in the
County of Glasgow, North Britain, Manufacturing Chemist, 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, that is
to say :-
My said invention has for its object to improve the construction of parts of or
connected with metallic buckets or packages such as may be used for conveying
various materials such as paint, cement, and various ground or unground substances,
and which can be usel like ordinary buckets.
Several examples of buckets or packages as made according to my invention
are shown on an accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings Figurs, 1, and 2,

page_text: being respectively a plan and a sectional elevation of one example, Figures, 3,
and 4, similar views of a second example, and Figures, 5, and 6, similar views of a
third example. Figures, 7, 8, and 9, are vertical sections respectively of the
covers of the three examples of buckets. In these drawings the same reference
letters are used to mark the same or like parts wherever they are repeated.
In carrying out the invention according to the example shown in Figures, 1, 2,
and 7, a metallic bucket, A, is made of the ordinary conical form or it may be
cylindrical, and is provided with a cover, B, which consists of a disk having a
small flange, C, formed round its edge. This cover, B, fits inside the top edge
of the bucket, A, with its flange, C, outwards, a slight recess or shoulder, D, being,
by preference, formed inside the edge of the bucket, by making an external
indentation the flange or rim of the cover bearing on the internal shoulder thus
formed. For the purpose of securing the cover, B, to the bucket, A, metal straps
or projections, E, are fixed or formed upon the cover, B, at suitable points and are
shaped to clip upon the edge of bucket, and can be clinched or bended downwards
and inwards so as to engage below what is usually the wired part of the bucket
edge or below a hoop forming the bucket edge. A half-hoop handle, G, is jointed
to the bucket, A, and a hook H is provided to fit loosely on the handle, to serve for
suspending the bucket, or for opening the cover, B, the cover being provided with
a turn-down ring, J, with which the hook can be engaged. If the cover, B, is
placed with its ring, J, near one of the joints of the handle, G, some leverage can
be applied in opening the cover, whilst with any position of the ring the using of
the handle will facilitate the opening of the cover. The ring J, may be dispensed
with, and the hook, H, may be on the cover, B, instead of on the handle, G, the
hook being in this case hooked to the handle when it is desired to open the cover.
The example of bucket, A, shown in Figures, 3, 4, and 8, is made without the
internal recess, D, and the cover, B, is made with a rim, K, on the flange, C, so as
to rest on the wired edge of the bucket, over and below which wired edge the
metal straps, E, are bended and clinched.
In the example of bucket, A, shown in Figures, 5, 6, and 9, the cover, B, is
made to fit into the bucket similarly to that of the second example. Round the
bucket, A, near its top edge a hoop, L, is placed, unt fixed but fitting tightly on
the tapering shell, and to this hoop metal straps, E, are fixed and are bended over
the rim, K, and flange, C, of the cover, B.
Having now particularly described and pertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that but I
claim is:
―
1. The combination of past forming the improvel metallic bucket or package
hereinhef re described with reference to Figures, 1, 2, and 7, of the accompanying
drawings.
2. The combination of parts forming the improved metallic bucket or package
herein before described with reference to Figures 3, 4, and 8, of the accompanying
drawings.
3. The combination of parts forming the improved metallic bucket or package
hereinbefore described with reference to Figures 5, 6, and 9, of the accompanying
drawings.
