Description: |
| A. J. Sangster - patent attorneyThis invention relates to a machine for driving heavy truss hoops on unheaded barrel bodies preparatory to cutting the croze in each end thereof and heading up the barrels. The barrels for which this machine is chiefly designed is that known in the trade as tight barrels or barrels used for holding liquids, such as cider, vinegar, etc., and which have to be made very tight to prevent leaking of the liquid. In this machine the rough barrel bodies composed of staves and preliminary hoops for holding the staves together are placed for the purpose of having heavy metal hoops, known as truss hoops, driven firmly thereon. One of the features of the invention consists in two or more screw threaded rods between which the trussing or hoop driving mechanism is located, said screw threaded rods being connected to said trussing mechanism to reciprocate- the same and being rotated at uniform speed so that the trussing mechanism is always moved in perfect alinement and the strain of the trussing pressure borne at two or more separated points. Another feature consists in corrugating or seriating the annular surface of that portion of one of the trussing rings which comes in contact with the stave ends for the purpose of relieving the dead crushing pressure against the stave ends and thus preventing the splitting or checking of the staves or the crushing of the stave ends. |
