improvements in Barrels, Dry measures and other Receptacles,
We, JOHN J. MAGEE, Manufacturer, and FREDERICK GEORGE RUMBALL, Lumber
Dealer, both residents of the City of London, in the County of Middlesex, in the
Province of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a barrel, dry measure, or other receptacle, constructed
as hereinafter described.
The head or end of a barrel, keg or other receptacle, and the bottom in the case
of dry measures, is preferably formed of wood, but it may be formed of any
other suitable material, and preferably of an approximately circular or curved
shape.
A groove or recess is formed in the rim of the head or end, and preferably at
right angles to the axis of said head or end.
This groove or recess is preferably formed in the rim of the head or end, by a
but it may be formed in any manner or by any means found most suitable
or convenient.
saw,
The body of the barrel, dry measure or other receptacle, is preferably formed
of sheet metal, but it may be formed of any other suitable material, and of an
approximately circular or curved shape to correspond with the shape of the head
or end.
An inwardly projecting rim flange is formed on the said body, and preferably
at right angles thereto.
In constructing these barrels, dry measures, or other receptacles, the groove
or recess, is formed in the rim of the head, and the flange is formed on one or
both ends of the sheet of metal which is to form the body. This sheet of metal is
then bent around the head, ends, or bottom, as the case may be, at the same time
the flange is inserted in the groove, and held there by nails or equivalent means,
or the said flange may be held in said groove in any manner or by any means
found most suitable or convenient, after which the adjacent edges of the body are
rivetted or otherwise secured together.

page_text: 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:-
This invention consists of a barrel, dry measure or other receptacle, constructed
as hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawings wherein;
-
Fig. 1, is a side elevation of a barrel or keg and Fig. 2, a side elevation of a
dry measure, embodying this invention.
Fig. 3, is an enlarged detail side view of a portion of the same, adjacent to the
head or end and partly in section.
Fig. 4, is an enlarged detail plan view of the head or end of same.
Fig. 5, is an enlarged detail rim view of the head or end partly in section.
Fig. 6, is an enlarged detail cross sectional view of a portion of the body adja-
cent to the head or end.
In the accompanying drawings;-
A, designates the head or end of a barrel, keg or other receptacle, and the
bottom in the case of dry measures, preferably formed of wood, but it may be
formed of any other suitable material, and preferably of an approximately circu-
lar or curved shape.
B, designates a groove or recess formed in the rim of the head or end, A, and
preferably at right angles tod the axis of the said head or end.
This groove or recess, B, is preferably formed in the rim of the head or end, A,
by a saw, but it may be formed in any manner or by any means found most
suitable or convenient.
C, designates the body of the barrel, dry measure or other receptacle, preferably
formed of sheet metal, but it may be formed of any other suitable material, and
of an approximately circular or curved shape to correspond with the shape of the
head or end, A.
D, designates an inwardly projecting rim flange formed on said body, C, and
preferably at right angles thereto.
In constructing these barrels, dry measures or other receptacles, the groove or
recess, B, is formed in the rim of the head, A, and the flange, D, is formed on
one or both ends of the sheet of metal which is to form the body, C.
This sheet of metal is then bent around the head, ends or bottom, A, as the
case may be, at the same time the flange, D, is inserted in the groove, B, and held
there by the nails E, or equivalent means, or said flange may be held in said
groove in any manner or by any means found most suitable or convenient, after
which the adjacent edges of the body, C, are rivetted or otherwise secured together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: -
1st. The improvements in barrels, kegs, dry measures and other receptacles,
substantially as described.
2nd. As a new article of manufacture, a barrel, keg, dry measure or other
receptacle, having a 'head, end or bottom in which a groove or recess is formed,
substantially as described.
3rd. A barrel, keg, dry measure or other receptacle, having a head, end or
bottom, in which a groove or recess is formed, in combination with a body pro-
vided with an inwardly projecting rim flange, substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
4th. A barrel, keg, dry measure or other receptacle, having a head, end or
bottom, in which a groove or recess is formed, in combination with a body pro-
vided with an inwardly projecting rim flange, and means for securing the adja-
cent portion of said body to said head, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
5th: A barrel, keg, dry measure or other cylindrical vessel or receptacle having

page_text: a head, end or bottom, in which a groove or recess is formed at right angles to the
axis thereof, in combination with a body provided with an inwardly projecting
right angular rim flange, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
6th. A barrel, keg, dry measure or other cylindrical vessel or receptacle, having
a head, end or bottom, in which a groove or recess is formed at right angles to the
axis thereof, in combination with a body provided with an inwardly projecting
right angular rim flange, and means for securing the adjacent portion of said
body to said head, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
7th. A barrel, keg, dry measure or other cylindrical vessel or receptacle, having
a head, end or bottom, in which a groove or recess is formed, at right angles to
the axis thereof, in combination with a body provided with an inwardly project-
ing right angular rim flange, and nails, E, or equivalent means extending through
the body and into the periphery of said head, end or bottom, substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.
