An end cover for covering and protecting a drum having an upper tray with a circumferential lip. The end cover includes a circular top provided with an outer circumferential edge. The diameter of the top corresponds to the diameter of the drum to be covered and has an axis of symmetry perpendicular to the plane of the top. The end cover also includes a peripheral member comprising a convergent linear wall integral with the outer edge of the top, a divergent linear wall joined to the convergent l...

A heater closure attachment for 30 and 55 gallon metal drums which includes a main closure section provided with an exhaust stack and two depending draft inlet pipes, and a hinged section through which solid fuel is inserted, the inlet draft pipes having damper lids to control combustion and the whole attachment being in knock-down, readily portable form for assembly on the job by unskilled labor.

The invention relates to a brake disc or brake drum or else the combination of both. The brake discs are provided with rotationally symmetrical braking areas and a removable, anti-corrosive coating. The coating completely covers the surface of the brake disc. Between the coating and the braking area there is applied a peelable, adhesive piece which is cut to size from a sheet material and completely covers the braking area.

An apparatus for changing the pitch of drums, comprising a source of compressed gas, a container for holding said compressed gas at a constant pressure and valve means for selectively conducting said pressurized gas into drums, and selectively releasing pressurized gas from said drums, the drums being raised in pitch when pressurized. Also means for independently adjusting the pitch to which each drum may be raised.

A drum for transporting viscous fluids and the like is disclosed. The improvement of this drum consists of a bottom assembly which breaks away from the bottom closure element when a force is applied to the bottom by a ram. The break away bottom is forced up through the drum by a ram, thereby forcing the contents out through the top of the drum.

A method of and apparatus for cleaning drums of the type having a bung opening in the cover which employs a tank having a plurality of nozzle pipes positioned in the tank. The nozzle pipes are stationary or in a fixed position, one for each drum to be cleaned. The drums are supported so that their bung openings are facing and in alignment with the nozzle pipes. The drums are moved over the stationary nozzle pipes and retracted. During the reciprocable movement of the drums a cleaning solution is...

Apparatus for loading drums onto pallets including a support frame having a first area where the drums are moved to predetermined loading positions and a second area where drums may be placed on pallets for further handling. The frame supports a carriage assembly which supports a lift assembly. The lift assembly is engageable with the drums in the predetermined loading positions to lift them for transfer to the second area by the carriage assembly where they are lowered by the lift assembly onto...

Apparatus for pouring used fuel and other fluids into a large container comprising a funnel fabricated of a rigid material and having a lower extent of a cylindrical configuration with a small diameter and a limited height with external threads thereon, an upper extent of a cylindrical configuration with a large diameter and a limited height, and an intermediate extent of a frustroconical configuration extending between the upper extent and the lower extent, the upper and intermediate and lower ...

A system for compacting material within a drum which includes a substantially tubular chamber, for placing a standard 55-gallon drum within, of the type having roll rings spaced along its annular wall; the chamber including a pair of swing away doors, for allowing access for the drum, and for closing around the wall of the drum, defining a portion of the inner wall of the chamber; a ram, configured in a dimension to fit within the drum opening for compacting material contained within the drum, a...

A resonator body for musical drum instruments is formed by shaping and gluing together several superimposed material layers, particularly wood veneer layers or plywood layers. The resonator body has the shape of a hollow cylinder. Abutting edges of the individual material layers extend in the direction of the resonator body axis and the abutting edges of the individual material layers are offset relative to each other in circumferential direction of the hollow cylinder. In order to ensure that t...
