Closure Ring Assembly For An Open-Head Drum
View pageUS Patent:
6435576, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:
Mar 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/818017
Inventors:
Lenix Fred Kusta - Birmingham AL, 35216
International Classification:
B65D 4530
US Classification:
29225667, 2922566, 29225665
Abstract:
An annular closure ring and bolt assembly for securing a lid or cover in sealed relation with an open-head drum is provided in which an annular split closure ring is closed by tightening a bolt between a pair of laterally spaced lugs attached to opposite ends of the closure ring. Each lug includes a hole to receive the bolt wherein at least one lug hole is unthreaded, and the bolt includes a shoulder or sleeve such that when the bolt is inserted into the unthreaded hole, the shoulder fits substantially flush with that unthreaded hole. The bolt engages either a threaded hole in one of the lugs or a jam nut to draw the lugs together and tighten the closure ring around the drum. The tight engagement between the unthreaded hole of the lug and the shoulder of the bolt thereby reduces movement of the bolt within the unthreaded hole to secure the connection of the ring around the open-head drum.
