Abstract
A drum for storage or transportation of a coil, comprises a base configured to rest on a horizontal surface. A hollow polygonal core extends upward from the top of the base. A cover also extends from the top of the base and has a circular, cylindrical, inner wall. The cover is spaced from the core, forming an annular space for receiving a coil. The core is composed of a plurality of planar parts hinged to one another so that the core can be collapsed and stored or shipped in a substantially flat condition, and expanded to its polygonal shape for connection to the base. The cover is composed of two or more arc-shaped parts, which are capable of being nested for storage and shipment. The drum can be used for storage or transportation of dry bulk material, in which case the core can be eliminated.
