Geyer & Popp - patent attorneys"This invention relates to a machine for removing the temporary hoops of the shell or body of barrels after applying the permanent bilge hoops thereto and before applying the end hoops to the same. In the case of heavy barrels, such as those used for packing beer and similar goods, these temporary hoops, are driven onto the barrel shells very securely and under heavy power so as to reliably hold the staves in place to receive the permanent hoops, and it therefore also requires considerable power to remove these temporary hoops from the shell..." |
