perforated ears for receiving a sealing w1re.:

The main object of the invention is to provide a bushing having ears formed integrally therewith, which bushing is formed by the forgin process and the ears thereof stamped from t e flashing.

In order to understand the invention, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings illustrating the" same, and the novel features thereof wlllbe distinctly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the several views of the drawings, similar characters of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of abush ing constructed in accordance with my invention and applied to the head of a barrel,

Fig. 2 is a plan view of Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 illustrates a pair of bushings with the flashing as forged in accordance with this invention, and

F ig.4 is a cross sectional view, taken on line H of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the end wall of a metallic barrel having a circular opening Said bushing is made by the forging process and consists of a body 3 having a circular horizontal flange 4 and a depending skirt.5. The bushing is provided when forged with an internal opening 6, which is threaded, as

indicated-at 7, for receiving a plug 8. The flange 4 of the bushing is adapted to rest upon the end wall 1 of the barrel, and the skirt 5 thereof fits into the opening 2 and is bent over at 9 by using a high speed hammer, said osition outwardly of and beyond said threa s, and the opening of the bushing is enlar ed at its upper end 10 as indicated at 11. n fixing the bushing to the barrel, the upper end 10 of the bushing is supported upon an anvil, and the blows ofv the hammer strike the skirt 5. As the threads 7 are beyond the area of hammering, no damage'to the threads occurs.

In the forging of the bushing, a flashing 5Q caused by the metal. being squeezed out be- 2 therein for receiving the bushing.

tween the dies, as indicated at 12, is left. At the'same operation of cutting away the flashing from the flange 4, ears 13 are formed from said flashing. The ears 13 are curved up-' wardly and provided with openings indicated by 14 for receiving a sealing wire indicated by 15, which wire also passes through an opening 16 of a lateral lug 17 of the plug 8, to furnish means of detection by unauthorized removal of said plug. The ears 13 are flat when formed,,but being malleable, may be curved upwardly as shown in Fig. 1 for convenience to permit insertion of the sealing wire, and afterwards said ears may be bent back again to their flat position to prevent accidentally being broken off in shipping the barrels.

From the foregoing, it is readily seen that providing the bushing with sealing ears in accordance with the invention adds comparatively nothing to'the cost of manufacture, and

that this forged bushing may be quickly and economically applied to the head of a barrel without danger of injuring the internal threads thereof. It will be understood, that slight changes in the details of construction of the bushing may be made within the scope of the claims.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A container bushing comprising in combination a body, an integral flange thereon in contact with the outer surface of the container wall, one or more normally upturned ears integral with the flange and projecting from the plane of'the flange, being an extension thereof and made of material possessing flexible characteristics; said ears each provided with ahole therein transverse to the plane of the ear.

2. s A container bushing comprising in combination a body, an integral container engaging flange thereon, one or more relatively thin normally upturned ears integral with said flange being a continuation thereof andmade a i of material having flexibility for bending themup and down; said ears having trans} verse holes therein. p 3.
