Description
G-ORG-E ROBERTS, F TOLEDO, OHIO.
- BOTTLE-CASE.
Specification of Letters latent. y
Application filed May 16, 1911. Serial No.I 627,634.
To allwhom t may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE G. ROBERTS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in BottleCases, of which. the following is a specification. I
This invention relates tov bottle shipping cases and has for its object the provision of a case or crate of simple and durable construction by the use of which bottles may? be transported without liability to breakage,
and in which the coverwill be held to the body of the case or crat-e by simple means which will prevent the detachmentof the cover but will permit it to be swung entirely clear of the body or casewhen it isdesired to remove and insert thebottles orother articles. l The invention also seeks to provide a device for the stated purpose which will beso constructed that breakage of the several parts will be reduced to a minimum andl the life of the boX or crate correspondingly prolonged. u
In4 the accompanying draw1ngs, which fully illustrate the preferred embodiment of my invention, Figure l is a plan view of a crate constructedin accordance with my improvement and showing the lid or cover in the open position. Fig. 2 is'a vertical section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, showing the cover in the closed'position in full lines and indicating by dotted lines the open position thereof. Fig. 3v is an enlarged detail section through one of the bottle retaining pins or pegs. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail section taken horizontally through one corner of the crate. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view of one edge of the cover. Fig. 6 isa detail perspective view of the upper member of the connection between the lid and the body.
Fig.,7 is a similar view of thelower member of the connection.
In carrying out my invention, I employ a preferably rectangular crate or case' which is constructed of wooden sides and ends designated as 1 and 2, respectively, and a botey [tom preferably composed of lwooden slats openings or slots 5 which may be utilized as handles, land in the front side vl, near the upper edge of the same, is an opening v6 through which a sealing wire may be passed. The cover 7 is also preferably constructed of wood and is` provided near itsfront edge with an openingB- to receive the sealing wire passed through the opening 6- in the front wall of the crate so that the lid will be held` in. its closed position during shipment, as
will be readily understood.
Within the case or crate, at the ends thereof, I provide iiXed guides or retainers 9 which are shown as made of strap iron but may be of heavy wire, and are secured-'to the end walls of the crate. These guides or retainers pass rearwardly andv upwardly to the rear wall of the crate and are provided at their rear ends with slot-s or openings 10.
On the under 'side of the cover, at the ends I atented Apr. 9, 1912'.
thereof, I secure the slides or runners 11 which are preferably metallic straps passing through the slots 10 and having their.
front ends turned upward and secured to the lid, as clearly shown. The rear ends ofy therunners are.bent upward past the reary edge ofy the lid and over upon the top of the same where they are secured. The i rear ends of the guides project through notches 12l in the upper edge `of the back wall of the body of the c'rate and the runners play through said notches. b
It will be seen from the description .thus far given, taken in connection withFig. 2 of the drawings more particularly, that the cover may slide horizontally upon the'box or crate, and will rest directly upon the upper edges of the sides and ends thereof, the runners and guides being arranged at the en'ds of the crate so that they will not be apt to break any of the bottles in the case and will not take up space which may be utilized for bottles. The rearward movement of the cover will be arrested by the engagement of the'upturned front ends of the runners with the `stops presented by the rear ends of the about the said rear ends of the guides as a center and assumea vertical position in rear of the' boX, as indicatediin dotted lines in Fig. 2, the engaging' guides and runners aiding in the support of the cover.
" In the upper and lowerv faces of the cover,
at the end edges thereof, I form shallow recesses 13 and inthe said recesses'I secure the upper and lower anges 14 of a U-'shaped reinforcing and wear strip 15 which passes around `the end edges of the'cover lso as to prevent warping or splitting thereof. The
corners of the body of the case are rei n.l A forced by metallic angle-plates having out-n 4 Headed nails or other fastenings 21 'are inserted through the parallel anges or meinbers 16 and 19 and through the ends of the side walls into the end walls, so as to secure the `memberstogether, and it will be observed that by the construction shown and described I provide two metallic bodies through which these fastenings are driven so that an exceedingly strong corner joint is formed. It will also be noted that the corner reinforcing angle-plates are disposed vertically so that their ends are presented to the end faces of the channel strips secured to the edges of the cover and that. when the cover Ais swung into a vertical position in rear of the body the turning or sliding movement will occur between two metallic surfaces and consequently wear upon the wooden body of the crate or case is overcome.
The bottles or other articles are held within the crate by being fitted between pins or pegs 22 rising from the slatted bottom and spaced apart at suitable intervals to vaccommodate the bottles, or other articles to be shipped, it being understoodthat the shipping case will be furnished in a variety;l of sizes according to the particular demands of the user. The lower ends of the pins or pegs are reduced and these lower reduced extremities have formed therein threads 23 adapted to engage internally threaded openings in the bottom of the crate or case so that the pegs can not readily pull out of place, while at the same time they may be readily removed and inserted yduring the course of manufacture or to make necessary repairs. i the crate and to guard against accidental re'- moval of the pins or pegs, metallic strips 24 are disposed longitudinally upon the under sides of the slats 3 withinshallow grooves 25 formed therein, and 'small screws 26 are driven upwardly through these reinforcing strips into the ends of the pegs, as clearly shown 'in Fig. 3.
It will thus be seen that I have 'provided' an exceedingly strong construction by which the pegs will be held firmly in pla-ce and should any one peg be brokenthrough extraordinary or careless usage it may be quickly removed and replaced with a new I particular manner of securing the In order to still further reinforce pin without necessitating the provision-'bfi an entirely new crate. Furthermore, the ins or pegs shown and described by me, will'j prevent splitting of the pegs in placing'themv in posit-ion, and an exceedingly durable case will be provided. i
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: l. In a bottle-'shipping case, the combination of a body, stationary guides secured'to the inner faces of the" end walls of said body and having transverse slots at their rear'ends, a cover adapted to rest on the upper edges of they body, and runners secured to and depending from the cover and slidably engaging the transverse slots in the guides. I
2. In a bottle-shipping case, the combination offra body, stationary guides secured to the innert-.faces of the end walls of the body.
and projecting over the rear wall of the same, a'cover adap-ted `to rest upon the upper edges of the body, and runners secured to said cover and tting within the li'dy, said s runners slidably engaging the projecting portions of the guides and adapted to form a hinged connection therewith.
'3. In a shipping case, the combination of a body having notches in the upper edge of its rear wall, stationary guides secured within the `body in alinement with n said notches and projectingthereinto, and a cover adapted to rest upon the body and provided withv depending runners slidably playing o through said notches and slidably` engaging the guides.
l A4. In arshipping case, the combination of a' body provided with notches in the upper edge of its rear wall, guides fixed within the case in alinement withsaid notches and projecting thereinto, and provided with transverse slots at Vtheir rear ends, a vcover adapted to rest u nthe body, and runners secured to and spending from the cover and slidably engaging the transverse slots in the guides.
5. In a shipping case, the ,combination of a body consisting of side and end pieces and vertically disposed metallic' reinforcing plates extending around the ends of the side pieces and between the same and the ends of the end pieces andzbfearing against the inner faces of the end walls, fastening devices Securing said reinforcing platesand` tion of a body provided with a bottom having internally threaded 'openings therein,
pins having reduced threaded lower ends engaging the internally threaded openings in the bottom of the body, reinforcing strips extending longitudinally of they rows of openings in said bottom on the under ,side of the same, and screws driven through the said reinforcing strips into the ends of the pms.
u In testimony whereof` I ax ny signature, 1n presence of two Witnesses.
