Abstract
A blow molded barrel having its peripheral top and bottom walls formed unitarily from thermoplastic synthetic resin has at least a lifting and transport ring formed at its upper edge at the junction of the top wall and the peripheral wall and welded to the barrel body. The ring has a trapezoidal head which is at least limitedly elastic and is connected to the weld flange by an intermediate region which is also at least limitedly elastic to reduce the transmission of shock and thereby improve the life of the well junction between the ring and the barrel body.
Claims5
A barrel, comprising:
- a barrel body formed in one piece from a thermoplastic synthetic resin and having a top wall closing an upper end of the barrel, a bottom wall closing a lower end of the barrel, a peripheral wall bridging said top and bottom walls and enclosing an interior of the barrel, and a radiused transition between said peripheral wall and said top wall;
- and
- a transport and reinforcing ring fixed to said body at said radiused transition, said ring being composed of an elastically deformable thermoplastic synthetic resin and being formed with:
- an upper and outer portion of generally trapezoidal cross section bounded by a bottom surface turned downwardly and forming a horizontal support shoulder and a vertical cylindrical inner surface turned toward a center of the barrel and said top wall,
- a weld flange extending downwardly from said upper portion along said radiused transition and welded thereto, said weld flange being bounded externally by a vertical outer surface, and
- an intermediate elastically deformable piece between said inner and outer surface and elastically connecting said upper and outer portion unitarily with said flange.
