IMPROVEMENT IN noorlne GASKS.

TO ALL WHOM ITMAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, DAN. PERRY and'E DwIN PERRY, of Pawtucket, in the coun'ty of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and improved Method of Applying Hoops to Barrels, etc.; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification. 1

The nature of our invention consists in coustructingconcave bands or hoops and'iapplying them to barrels, tubs,'pails, and butter-moulds by cutting two parallel channelsor grooves on the eirterior surface of the barrels or telos at the same distance-apart that the hoop is designed to be wide. These grooves converge toward each other from the bottom, so that it forms a bead or convex surface that fits the concave over the hoop; which is pressed down on the convex, which serves thepurpose of dowels in keeping the strives in position. i

We will now roceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure l is a top plan view of our improved mode of making and applying hoops.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same from the line m x. I

I Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures.

A represents the staves or body of a tub with our improved mode of applying hoops. B is a hoop, which may bc-made of sheet metal rolled out in proper size and formby means ot' suitable rollers, the respective ends of which are secured together by soldering, riveting, or other well-known means, after the hoop is applied to the barrel, tub, or towhatever it may be designed, which is done as follows: The barrel, tub, or cask is first set up and held by truss-hoop while a hoop-seat. is cut out, as seen at c, fig. 2 Then, commencing at one end of the hoop,'we gradually press it into the grooves prepared, that is, pressing it in from one stave into another until the whole are dowelled together. When the hoop meets it is cut off, so that it will lap over the end already driven or pressed in. The ends are then fastened together either by riveting through both thicknesses of the hoop and the stave or by soldering them together. When the hoops-arc all driven inand properly fastened the truss-hoop is taken off. These hoops, when once put on, are intend'cd to be permanent, and are neither to be driven oil or pulled out. 4 i

Having thus described our invention, what 'we claim, and (l'esireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

The concave hoop B, fitted permanently in channels or grooves on the outer face of the barrel tub, pail, or other article made of wood and hooped, substantially as described for the purpose specified.

DAN. PERRY,

EDWIN PERRY.
