UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. v
LOUIS T. ROENI'IZ, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO FIBRE CONTAINER COMPANY,
OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
PAIL AND COVER THEREFOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 11, 1912.
Application filed November 7, 1910, Serial No. 591,071. Renewed April 17, 1912. Serial No. 691,503.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Louis T. ROENITZ, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pails and Covers Therefor; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numbers of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The use of pails as shipping packages has become very extensive and the consumption of lumber or wood for this purpose has heretofore been very great. With the increasing expense, however, for material, it has become necessary to seek other and cheaper materials, and in consequence fiber pails of various kinds, usually containing more or less wood pulp in their composition, have come upon the market. In the use of such pails, and, in fact, of wooden pails as well, it becomes imperative to provide a construction in which the cover of the pail may be so securely sealed in place as to prevent interference with the contents in translt without leaving such a mark or lndlcation as to clearly reveal the unauthorized break ing of the package. It is also important to so strengthen the package to enable it to resist the shocks and blows it may receive in transit as to protect the contents from injury and loss through the breakage thereof.
It is also an object of this invention to afford a means for tightly securing the covers upon such pails or packages in such a manner as to prevent loss, or exposure of the contents, while in transit.
It is an important object of the invention also to afford a construction in which the reinforcing bands are secured upon the pail and which act to firmly engage the cover in place and which also acts to afford means for engaging the bail ear in place.
Finally it is an object of the invention to afford an exceedingly strong, cheap, simple and durable construction capable of being applied to pails of any kind, and when sealed, acting to secure the cover from'removal and also to afford a construction which serves as a reinforcement for the pail in a plurality of lines around its periphery and across the bottom thereof as well as across the top.
The invention consists in the matters hereinafter described and more fully pointed out bottom. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical section of the same. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section on line 44 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary detail illustrating the means for attaching the bail ear in place.
As shown in the drawings: 1, indicates the body of the pail, 2, the cover, and 3, the bottom of the pail. The pail, of course, may be of any suitable material, though conveniently the same is constructed of papier inach, fiber, or any suitable material. Longitudinal strips 4: and 5, are secured on said pail by means of rivets or other suitable attaching means and spaced conveniently uniform distances apart. In the drawings, said strips 4: and 5, are arranged 90 degrees apart, though, of course, the distance indegrees will vary dependent upon the space and convenience of the user and the size of the package. Said strips or bands 4 and 5, are of a length to extend sufficiently above the pail when first applied, so that when the free ends thereof are bent inwardly as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the same will overlap, and, when perforated, receive a rivet 6,
therethrough, the head of which may be shaped by means of any suitable die to indicate a distinguishing seal or mark such as the star indicated at 7 In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, said bands are of a length to extend transversely across the bottom of the pail and to lap at the center, as shown in Fig. 1, and are riveted to the bottom or otherwise secured thereto, to afford a suitable reinforcement therefor.
Means are provided for securing a bail to the pail and for this purpose, the bail ears 8, are stamped or otherwise constructed of wire to afford a U shaped loop and laterally extended alined ends. A suitable aperture is provided through oppositely disposed reinforcing strips and are of a length to receive said bail ears or loops therethrough. As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, thesbail 9, is engaged at its end in the bail ears 8.
If the material of which the pail is composed be of sufficiently resisting material as to render use of such longitudinal and bottom reinforcement unnecessary, a shorter length of strap may be used, as shown in Fig. 4, and in this instance, the strap 11, need be only of sufiicient length to extend far enough upon the' pail body to afford a secure attachment therewith sufliciently at least to prevent the same readily being broken away to release the cover.
The operation is obvious from the foregoing description. It is to be noted, however, thatthe pail when shipped may be to a certain extent knocked down inasmuch as the covers may be separately crated or shipped and the straps may be turned in wardly in the pail, so that the pails may be nested when empty. WVhen, however, the pails are filled and the cover is to be secured in place, the straps are first turned up to permit the cover being laid as clearly shown in the drawings, and any suitable die is then placed at thev center of the cover to permit the rivet 6, being closed down when inserted through the apertures in the ends of said straps.
Of course, details of the construction may be varied. It is quite immaterial whether four or more of said reinforcing straps are used. So too, if desired, the construction for attaching the bail may be varied. This construction, however, presents the advantage of exceeding simplicity and great strength. I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent to be issued on this application otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.
' I claim as my invent-ion:
1. A protective and reinforcing device for pails comprising a plurality of metallic straps encompassing the same, all of the ends of said straps terminating in overlapped relation on the top of said pail, a
thereof near the top of the pail, a bail ear" projecting through each of said apertures, and secured to said pail by means of said straps, said straps being of a length to extend completely around the pail longitudi nally and to overlap at the center of the bottom and the center of the cover, said overlapped ends provided each with an aperture theret-hrough, and a rivet extending through the ends at the bottom and top.
4. A protective and reinforcing device for pails, comprising a plurality of metal straps encompassing the same, one of said straps having slots therein, bail ears engaged in said slots and secured to the pail by means of said straps, a rivet through the bottom of the pail and the overlapping. straps, and a rivet seal through the straps on the top of the pail. v
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
