COLLAPSIBLE WASTE-BASKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 13, 1913.
Application filed July 11, 1912. Serial No. 708,821.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE L. JOHNSON,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of 5 Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Collapsible lVaste- Baskets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a collapsible waste basket, the object being to provide a waste basket which can be made of cheap material, such as cardboard, a plurality of pieces of said cardboard being formed so that they can be detachably interlocked one with the other and this result is obtained by shaping the cardboard on each edge of the sides with a plurality of hooks, these hooks being adapted to interlock with a like number of hooks on the edge of the side adjacent thereto, and one of the hooks on each edge of each of said sides being oppositely disposed to another hook on the same edge of the same side.
The cardboard can be decorated, either by covering the same with the usual wall paper or by hand painting, if desired, so that the article becomes not only one of utility, but also is extremely ornamental.
The invention consists of a waste basket formed and constructed as hereinafter set forth in the specification and particularly as pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of a waste basket constructed in accordance with my invention, one of the sides being shown in dotted lines in the position it is bent into when the sides are being attached to or detached from each other. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the basket illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of'the upper corners of the basket illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the lower corners of said basket. ration of a modified form of my invention. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the upper corners of that form of my invention illustrated in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of one of the lower corners of that form of my invention illustrated in Fig. 5.
Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4: In this embodiment of my invention, the basket is 5 made of four sides, each of which is practi- Fig. 5 is a front elecally a duplicate of the other so that they may be stamped by the same dies from cardboard or other suitable sheet material. The side 8, it will be noted, is the same in all respects as the side 9 and the same is true of the other sides 10 and 11 of said basket. The edges of the side 8 are shaped to form a plurality of hooks 12 and 13 on one edge and 1 1 and 15 on the other edge. The side 9 has a plurality of cars formed on each of its opposite edges, via, cars 16 and 17 on one edge and the cars 18 and 19 on the opposite edge.
It will be noted that the hooks 16 and 141 are oppositely disposed and adapted to hook into each other and the same is true of the hooks 15 and 17, the hook 141; projecting downwardly and the hook 1G projecting upwardly, the hook 15 projecting upwardly and the hook 17 projecting downwardly. This same construction is preferably continued on the four diiferent corners of the basket. It will also be noted that the hooks on each of the sides lie in the same plane as the body portion of the side of which it forms a partthat is, the hooks 1G, 18 and 17, 19 lie in the same plane as the body portion of the side 9. The same is true of each of the sides of the basket. It will also be noted that one of the hooks on each of the edges is oppositely disposed to another hook on the same edge, for instance the hook 16 is oppositely disposed to the hook 17 and further it will be seen that the corresponding hooks 16 and 18 on opposite edges of the same side 9 are oppositely disposed, respectively, to each other, and the same is true of the hooks 17 and 19 on opposite edges of said side piece 9. This disposition of the hooks is true of each of the sides of the basket.
The sides have cars .20 punched inwardly therefrom and these ears project beneath a bottom piece 21, also of sheet material, preferably cardboard.
In putting the device together the ear 17 is slipped downwardly into interlocking engagement with the can 15; the side 9 is bent as indicated in dotted lines (Fig. 1) until the ear 16 can he slipped into interlocking engagement with the car 141. To aid in slipping the ear 16 into interlocking engagement with the ear 1 1 it will be noted that the outer edge of the free end of the hook 14 is beveled as at 22 and this construction is preferably embodied in each of the sides, the ear 18 being beveled at 23 and so on. When all of the four sides have been put together, as indicated in relation to the sides 8 and 9, the bottom piece 21 is slipped downwardly on the interior of the basket until it rests upon the inwardly projecting ears 20.
Referring now to Figs. 5, 6 and 7 illustrating a modified form of my invention, 24 is one side piece which is interlocked with the side, pieces 25 and 26, the side pieces 25 and 26 being interlocked with another side piece 27 located opposite to the side piece 2A and of the same form, but not shown in the drawings. In this embodiment of my invention the side pieces are duplicates of each other and on each one of the side pieces 24 are three ears 28, each pointing upwardly, while the uppermost ear 29 on saidside piece points downwardly. On the opposite edge of said side piece 24 are three ears 30 pointing downwardly and the uppermost ear 31 which points upwardly.
The ears 28 interlock with ears 32 on the side piece 26 while the ear 29 interlocks with an ear 33 on the side piece 26. The ears 30 interlock with ears 34 on the side piece 25 while the ear 31 on the side piece 24 interlocks with an ear 35 on the side piece 25, the ears 30 projecting downwardly, while the ears 34 project upwardly, the ear 31 projects upwardly while the ear 35 projects downwardly. This construction is carried out in each of the different pieces and the side pieces are interlocked by dropping the three lower ears, for instance, the ears 32, 32, 32 into the corresponding ears 28, 28, 28 on the sidepiece 26 and then bending the side piece 26 at the upper end, as indicated by dotted lines (Fig. 5) until the ear 33 can enter into interlocking engagement with the ear 29, it being understood that the outer edge of said ear is beveled as at 36 to assist in this interlocking arrangement. I The side 25 is connected tothe side 2-1, the side 26 to the side 25 and all the sides are connected together in like manner by the interlocking ears on their opposite edges. After the different sides have been put together to form the basket illustrated in Fig. 5 a bottom piece 37, formed preferably of cardboard, is inserted, said bottom piece having downwardly extending ears 38 thereon to hold it in position.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire by Letters Patent to secure is:
1. A collapsible waste basket having, in combination, a plurality of sides of sheet material, two of the opposite edges of each of said sides being shaped to form a plurality of hooks adapted to interlock with a like number of hooks on 'the edges of the sides adjacent thereto, one of the hooks on each edge of each of said sides being oppositely disposed to another hook on the same edge of the same side.
2. A collapsible waste basket having, in
combination, a plurality of sides of sheet material, two of the opposite edges of each of said sides being shaped to form a plurality of hooks adapted to interlock with a like number of hooks on the edges of the sides adjacent thereto, one of the hooks on each edge of each of said sides being oppositely disposed to another hook on the same edge of the same side and the corresponding hooks on opposite edges of the same side piece being oppositely disposed, respectively, to each other. i
3. A collapsible waste basket having, in combination, a plurality of sides of sheet material, two of the opposite edges of each of said sides being shaped to form a plurality of hooks adapted to interlock with a like number of hooks on the edges of the sides adjacent thereto, one of the hooks on each edge of each of said sides being oppositely disposed to another hook on the same edge of the same side and one of saidhooks on one edge of each side being beveled on its outer edge adjacent to the free end thereof.
4. A collapsible waste basket having, in
combination, a plurality of sides of sheet material, said sides being duplicates of each other, two of the opposite edges of each of said sides being shaped to form a plurality of hooks adapted to interlock with a like number of hooks on the edges of the sides witnesses.
