Abstract

Abstract The bunghole-equipped barrel of a thermoplastic synthetic resin with rolled rings arranged in the zone of the upper head (2) and the lower head coaxially to the barrel sidewall (1) is characterized in that the upper rolled ring (7) is molded in a bead shape directly from the barrel sidewall (1) and the upper head (2), and the lower rolled ring is molded in a bead shape directly from the barrel sidewall and the lower head, with the formation of respectively one annular cavity (9); and that an open gap (14) is formed between the upper marginal zone (10) of the barrel sidewall (1) and the outer marginal zone (11) of the upper head (2), as well as between the lower marginal zone of the barrel sidewall and the outer marginal zone of the lower head. For the formation of predetermined breaking points in case of external and/or internal overstressing, the upper marginal zone (10) of the barrel sidewall (1) is welded together spotwise over the barrel circumference with the outer marginal zone (11) of the upper head (2). In the same way, predetermined breaking points are formed at the lower rolled ring.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 121 words
In a bunghole-equipped barrel of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, produced by blow molding, with hollow rolled rins arranged coaxially to the cylindrical barrel sidewall in the zone of the upper and lower heads, these rolled rings projecting in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the barrel past the heads, there being a cavity between these rolled rings which is in communication with the barrel chamber by way of a gap, the lower rolled ring having an annular standing surface arranged concentrically to the barrel center; the improvement in which at least one of the rolled rings has predetermined breaking points (18-20) spaced apart uniformly over the barrel circumference, said breaking points each comprising means interconnecting said rings across said gap.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 121 words
In a bunghole-equipped barrel of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, produced by blow molding, with hollow rolled rins arranged coaxially to the cylindrical barrel sidewall in the zone of the upper and lower heads, these rolled rings projecting in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the barrel past the heads, there being a cavity between these rolled rings which is in communication with the barrel chamber by way of a gap, the lower rolled ring having an annular standing surface arranged concentrically to the barrel center; the improvement in which at least one of the rolled rings has predetermined breaking points (18-20) spaced apart uniformly over the barrel circumference, said breaking points each comprising means interconnecting said rings across said gap.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 79 words
Bunghole-equipped barrel according to claim 1, in which there are welded together, in a spotwise fashion, over the barrel circumference: the upper marginal zone (10) of the barrel sidewall (1) with the outer marginal zone (11) of the upper head (2); and/or the lower marginal zone (12) of the barrel sidewall (1) with the outer marginal zone (13) of the lower head (5), for the formation of said predetermined breaking points (18) in case of external and/or internal overstressing
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
Bunghole-equipped barrel according to claim 1, in which the upper (7) and/or the lower (8) rolled led ring have a solid profile in the zone of the predetermined breaking points (19).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 42 words
Bunghole-equiped barrel according to claim 1, in which there is a spotwise welding together of the outer (15) and of the inner (16) wall of the upper (7) and/or lower (8) rolled ring, for the formation of said predetermined breaking points (20).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 32 words
Bunghole-equipped barrel according to claim 1, in which the barrel sidewall (1) is retracted (at 10a and 12a, respectively) below the upper rolled ring (7) and above the lower rolled ring (8).
