COLLAPSIBLE REGEPTACLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 27,1912.
Application filed March 1, 1912. Serial No. 680,947.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Ismon COHEN, a subject of the King of Roumania, residing at 58 Second avenue, New York city, in the county and State of. New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collapsible Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in collapsible receptacles.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a receptacle which may be quickly collapsed and set up, which will be strong and durable, and which may be manufactured with a minimum number of operations and at a low cost.
The invention is susceptible of embodiment in numerous forms, and for the purpose of clearly disclosing the principle and structural features thereof, 1 have attached hereto drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of the preferred form of the receptacle set up, the cover or lid being omitted; Fig. 2 is a plan view of said receptacle collapsed; Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a crosssectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a lid or cover, shown as being partly set up; and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a fragment of a modified form of receptacle.
Receptacles of the character herein referred to are usually made of flexible material such as cardboard, and for reasons of economy in manufacture as well as strength of the final product theboX portion proper is preferably made out of a single blank, scored or perforated at certain places to enable the sides and ends to be bent when the box is collapsed or set up. This is the kind of receptacle which I will now describe in detail.
Referring to the drawings, and especially to Figs. 1 to 4 thereof 10 denotes the base of the receptacle, with which the sides 11 and ends 12 are preferably formed integrally. Attached to the base 10 is a strengthening frame of wood or analogous material, said frame comprising the side bars 13 and end bars 14. Suitably secured to said frame, and preferably to theside bars, are tying bands or cords 15 by means of which the contents of the box are held in position.
To permit the sides of the box to be turned at right angles to the base, the latter is scored longitudinally along the parallel lines 16, the scoring not being deep enough to materially weaken the structure but just sufficient to enable the sides to be moved 7 with some freedom. Similar scorings 17, extending transversely across the base, are provided to permit of the end members 12 to be moved toward and away from the sides. At each of its shorter sides each of the end members 12 has a part of the matethis is well shown in Figs. 1 and 2. It will be understood that while such reinforcement is generally used only on receptacles of which the sides and ends are at least nine inches high, it may be used on smaller receptacles. Secured to the interior of each side 11 are one or more clasp members, such as the studs 20, provided thereon. Projecting outwardly from the end members 12 at right angles to the sides 11, are reinforcing strips or hands 21 carrying female clasp members or sockets 22 with which the studs 20 are adapted to engage. The stud 20 near the end of each side member 11 is adapted to pass through an opening 23 near the edge of each end member and engage the socket 22 formed on such end member. The reinforcing strips are preferably angular as shown so that the longitudinal portions strengthen the side members lengthwise thereof and the depending portions strengthen the side members transversely thereof.
In converting the receptacle from the collapsed condition illustrated in Fig. 2 into the set up form of Fig. 1, the ends 12 are bent up at right angles to the base 10; thereafter the parts 12 and 12 are folded up against each other, the end stud 20*, which projects through the hole 23, is caused to engage in the socket 22 and thereafter the series of studs 20 are forced into the sockets 22 and the receptacle has the form shown in Fig.- 1. The device may be 001- ends 12. The scoring is similar to that in the preferred form and has not been shown in detail. In this modified form I omitzthe sideand end reinforcement of Figs. 1 to 4;,
andus'e instead edge reinforcing members which are-suitably secured to the upperi edges .of the end and side members. The ends and sides are secured together by stud} and socket connections .31.
' Referring to Fig. 5 wherein the which is reinforced by the wooden frame 41. Theend and side members 42 and 43 re' .spectively, are formed integrally with the top .and may be moved relatively thereto; Eachend member has a socket 44 adapted to A leather or collapsil fblELCQVBI' is illustrated 4.0 represents theltop signature in presence through an opening 46 in such side member.
The general construction of the cover is ,similar to that of the receptacle itself and hence no detail description thereof is needed.
- In a collapsible receptacle, the combination with aabase member having sides and ends formed integrally therewith and movable relatively thereto, the material of the .saidsides andendsat the extreme ends of r each being cut away A to form substantially rectangularopeningathe said sides anclends being connected bycorner folds of a series .of clasp memberson each sidemember, and a reinforcing strip attached to 7 each corner fold. and provided with clasp members adapted; to-engage those on the side nembers.
In testimony whereof I have ailixed my of twowitnesses. 7 V ISIDOR COHEN.
