ABSTRACT:
A plastic blow molded drum has unique top and bottom structure providing protection and strength for the drum and attachments. An integrally formed top structure with a sufficiently deep recess provides protection for drum inserts and associated closures. Additionally, the bottom structure includes a sump and structural member formed by the pinched-off parisan during the blow molding process. The drum has a top wall, a cylindrical side wall, and a bottom wall defining an open interior. The top wall has an access port comprising a fitting integrally formed with the drum. The fitting having an upwardly extending neck with inside threads and a top shoulder. A drum insert is engaged with the fitting and provides an additional second threaded fitting and a second shoulder both extending upwardly above the shoulder of the integral fitting. A closure comprising a plug portion and a threaded nut portion engages the second threaded fitting, closes the port, and extends above the second shoulder. The closure has an uppermost portion, which may be a protective cover or venting valve handle. The protective recess may suitably be formed by the chime and/or further downward recessed portions of the top wall such that the first fitting, the second fitting, and the closure, including the uppermost portion of the closure are all below the top edge of the chime.
