Description: |
| James Sangster - patent attorneyMy invention relates to a novel and independent means complete in itself and not forming part of a press or frame for supporting and guiding the head of a barrel to the croze and the object is to provide a simple, cheap, and easily operated device which is adapted to be seated within the open month of the barrel and to be expanded automatically against the interior of the staves by the passage of the head, thereby circumferentially enlarging the open mouth of the barrel to afford an easy entrance for the head into the croze, spring means being employed to contract the device to its normal circumference after the passage of the head, thus allowing the staves to embrace the head immediately upon its entrance into the croze. |
