JPH092443A - Metal barrel - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a metal barrel, in particular a beer barrel, in which a remarkable decrease in production cost and improvement in use or performance have been achieved. CONSTITUTION: An upper protector B is provided with a pair of opposite notches 7 which are open in its lower edge, and a lower protector C is also provided with a pair of opposite notches 8 which are open in its upper edge. The notches 8 of the lower protector C are used as handholds and water-removal holes when the barrel is laid lengthwise.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a metal barrel, and more particularly to a pressure type beer barrel suitable for filling, transporting and selling draft beer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Draft beer sold at a relatively small food store is packed in a metal barrel, which is generally called a pressure beer barrel, and conveyed. At the time of sale, a beer is called a dispenser. The equipment is attached to the mugs by the pressure of carbon dioxide gas introduced into the barrel through the equipment, and the mugs are served to customers. The conventional pressure type vial barrel has a structure as shown in FIG. 5, although there are some design differences. That is, the cylindrical body 1, barrel body in the short cylindrical on protector B and upper edge which is welded to the barrel main body A in the barrel body A and the lower edge made of top end plate 2 and the lower mirror plate 3 with a welded cap 4 in the center A
And a short tubular lower protector C welded to the upper protector C. The upper protector C is provided with a pair of handle holes 9,
Four drain holes 10 and 11 are provided at the lower edge of B and the upper edge of the lower protector C , respectively. Further, generally, curl portions 5 and 6 are provided at the upper end of the upper protector B and the lower end of the lower protector C for reinforcement, and these are also used as handles during transportation. The conventional pressurizing vial barrel having the above structure has no particular problem in terms of usability or performance, but it takes too much time for welding during production. That is, since the lower edge portion of the upper protector has four notches serving as the drain holes 10, the upper protector B and the barrel main body A must be welded in four separate steps. Therefore, the present inventor conducted research to solve this problem, and previously provided a pair of facing notches that open at the lower edge of the upper protector,
It was proposed that this pair of notches be used as a handle and a drainage hole (registered utility model application 1992 No. 51373).
issue).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a metal barrel of this kind which is further reduced in manufacturing cost and which is easy to use and improved in performance.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, as described above, the upper protector B is used.
Its provided with a pair of opposed notches 7 open on the lower edge, the notches 8 a pair of opposed open in its upper edge to the lower protector C provided (see FIGS. 1 and 2.), The lower protector C The notch 8 provided in the above is used as a handle and a drainage hole when the barrel is inverted.

The notch 7 provided on the upper protector B and the notch 8 provided on the lower protector C may have an arc shape, a rectangular shape or any other shape, but the grip portion 7'and In order to form 8'by drawing, it is desirable to have an arc shape.

【The invention's effect】

1) Four water drain holes were removed from the upper protector and the lower protector, and two handles and water drain holes were provided for each, so the welding operation between the protector and barrel barrel was completed twice, and the manufacturing cost was high. Is significantly reduced. 2) Since the handle / drainage hole according to the present invention has a large opening area, water easily flows out, and clogging due to dust or the like does not occur. 3) This type of barrel is usually placed upside down on the washing line, and the empty barrel is usually placed upside down to prevent damage and stain on the base, but it is easy to handle because the lower protector has a handle. It is safe (in the case of the conventional barrel, there was a problem in safety because the curl part of the lower protector was put into the hand when working upside down).
