ABSTRACT:
A metal drum or container having rubber rolling hoops extending around the outer surface thereof is provided with an improved fastening means for securing the hoops to the drum. The rubber rolling hoops are fitted between pairs of beads in the wall of the drum so that the drum can be rolled on the hoops, with each hoop forming a pair of grooves where the hoop can be clamped to the drum. A pair of metal hoop rings are fitted into the grooves in each hoop for clamping the hoop to the container. A fastener is threaded onto one end of each ring with a hole extending through the fastener for receiving the other end of the ring, which is threaded so that a nut can be screwed onto the free end of the ring and against the fastener for drawing the ring through the fastener and tightly against the hoop and the drum so as to clamp the hoop against the drum. The hole in the fastener which receives the free end of the ring is preferably spaced farther away from the drum than the threaded hole which receives the first end of the ring, so that there is ample room to thread the nut onto the free end of the ring. The same hole in the fastener is also preferably slanted so that the entry end of the hole is closer to the drum surface than the exit end to facilitate insertion of the ring therethrough.
