BOX-FASTENER.
Application filed February Specification of Letters Patent.
7, 1912. Serial No. 676,055.
To all whom ct may concern:
Be it known that 1, ROBERT SonLmoI-mn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and 5 State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Box-Fas teners, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention pertains to improvements in box-fasteners, the construction and advantages of which will be hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the annexed drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a box with the lid shown partly open, or as it is just about to be closed in the act of fastening the same; Fig. 2 a vertical sectional view, taken through one of the fasteners, the latter being in its locked position; and
Figs. 3, l and 5 perspective views of the component parts of the fastener.
The invention may be said to be an im provement upon the fastener shown and claimed in Letters Patent No. 915,045, granted under date of March 9th, 1909, to the Hengel Box Company, and the object of the present invention is to simplify and to produce a stronger structure than that disclosed in said patent.
The box may be of any form, that shown being a light shipping box, the lid 1 whereof is hinged to the back in any suitable manner, as by metal strips 2, having the general form of a staple, Fig. 3, prior to its being secured in place.
The fastener comprises two members, one carried by the box-lid and the other secured to the box front 3. Both are formed from sheet metal and the one secured to the lid comprises a strip 4, having a pointed end 5, and at the opposite end a pair of wings 6. Normally and prior to the engagement of the parts, the wings stand at right angles to the body 4, or in other words, form a substantially U-shaped member. To secure said member in place the pointed end is driven through the top and preferably clenched, and the outer or free end is then bent downwardly over the front edge of the cover. The second member is formed of a strip 7 having pointed ends 8 and an outwardly bowed or deflected section 9. Said member is secured to the outer face of the box front in line with the depending portion of the other fastening member, being attached by driving the pointed ends through the front and preferably clenching the same. Portions of the strip 7 lie close against the front, while the bowed or deflected section 9 stands slightly away from the same.
To secure the fastener, the lid is closed, at which time the wings 6 stand upon opposite sides of the loop 9; then by the use of a suitable tool the wings are folded in beneath the loop, and firmly pressed to place. Then this is accomplished, it is impossible to open the fastener without marring or breaking the same, as the wings are protected both at the top and bottom thereof by the loop 9.
The present fastener is found to be more secure, both mechanically and against tampering. than that shown in my prior patent above referred to. Furthermore, less metal is required to produce the same.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
A box-fastener, comprising two members, each formed from a strip of sheet metal, one member comprising a body portion, one end thereof being adapted to be secured to a box while the other is provided with wings, the second member having its ends fashioned so as to enable it to be secured to a box member, and having a bowed or outwardly-deflected central portion adapted to coact with the wings when the same are folded inwardly beneath the same.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
