, ,it my 00m-ern.' .nown that l, Crmnrins SCUDDER, a United States of America, and ine eity'of Seattle,in the county .State of 'lfashingtom have inin new and useful Improvereptaeles, of which the following mon.

7 is a plan of the blank for the closure-chamber. Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective ot the receptacle, a packing sheet and the elosure, the latter being renun'ed and broken sections (f that expanding members, as (5, of

a closure 7 can be inserted between their upper end portions.

Expanding members t3 which are of substantially triangular torni, in side elevation, extend outwardlj from a projecting portion or chamber 8, into proximity to a tiange 9 .of closure 7, with their outer side edges inohned outwardly toward said flange, and

when properly seated tend to press the upper portions ot side walls 2 against projecting portion and tiango t) ot the closure 7, to thereby more etl'eetually seal ehan'iber l.. In the furtherance ol.' this object, a packing sheet` 10, of thin paper or the like can be utilized, the same being` laid flat over the open end of the reeeptarle to be subsequently forced into chamber l and corner wall seetions (Z by projecting portion S and members 6, (see Figs. ti and tt), during seating of elosure Reference numeral 2O indirates the blank from which the body portion of the reoep taele is formed, This is provided with longitudinal score lines or creases 2Q from the former of which parallel transverse lines 2l extend and define in eonjunetimi thorn. with outer wall sections cl.- Transveise lines 2l extend to slits 21a, in the edge et the blank1 which slits in Connection with a lon gitudinal score line or crease 22a detine edge Vaps a. From each score line Q1. a pair t diverging score lines Q3 extend to transillllilfillii COP the edge of the blank and defining the points of fold for the inner side wall sections c which are shorter and'of less width than wall sect-ions a. Slits 2l" are connected by a longitudinal score liiie22b and in conjunction with the latter-define flaps c', and s ecuring tongues b. Adjacent transverse score lines'21,a define the sides of foldable cor'iier sections d, which. are scored cent-rally by lines of fold 2l"extending in alinem'ent with lines 21. Fold lines 2l extend to V-shaped incisions or slits Z connectingthe free ends of respective diverging score lines.23 to pro- -yide corner locking iii-embers 24 which latter are provided with score lines 21. in alinement with the adjacent score lines 2l, 21.

Longitudinal score lines

22, 22 in conjunction with scorelincs 23 define connecting end wall sections c for the oppositeside wall sections@ and c.

In setting up the receptacle, the blank to bring Wall sections cover wall sections a, and connecting end wall sections. e in subfstantially right. angu'lar 'relation thereto, as shown in Fig. 2. Next, the blank is folded to provide the four side walls' 2, the same oe-- ing folded on the lines 2l, 21 and the oppoL site wall sections a and c at one end of the blank then inserted between the corresponding wal sections of the opposite end of the blank, as shown in Fig. 5, where they are secured, as by suitable adhesive material. The last named end p'ortion of the blank is preferably provided with a tongue f which .is

inserted into thefold of the adjacent cornerl locking member e, (see Fig. 8) where it is adh'esivcly secured, thus firmly holding the v overlapping wall*v section e. Asv the blank is flded to set up the sidewalls of the box, as just described, corner locking Amembers 24," through their peculiar formation, foldinwardly, -as indicated in Fig. 3, and tend to fold corner wall sections d outwardly and then hold the same folded. rIhe next step consists in bending tongues b downwardly to hold the 1folded lower end portions of wall sections d: and then folding flaps c inwardly, and securing bottom wall 4f thereto,A as

adhesive material, as more clearly lshown in Fig. 4. The receptacle is now complete with the exception of positioning and preferably adhesively securingbottom wall 5 on the flanges a.

In mypresent construction, which is pri` marily designed for preserving frozen goods, as for example, ice cream, water. ices. and the like, the securing of bottom wall5 in posi# tion is deferred until a suitable filling which is a poor conductor of heat is inserted into the Walls 2 and bottom space or chamber 3, as shown in Fig. 6. I do lnot limit myself however, with respect to a filling or any particular typeof iilliiig, it being my aimto 'irovidc the iresci'vinfy chamber vl which is se isolated fr omthc external' atmospheric influences that it will be practically uiiafected thereby, with respect to changes of temperature, for reasonable length of time; The projecting portion or chamber 8 which can be filled with a packing which is a poor conductor of heat, is formed from a substantially square 'blank 30, see Fig. 7; Blank 30 is'pi'ovided with intersecting score lines oi' creases 3l defining a main or bottom" wall 3l', side walls 3l and connecting corner sections' for forming the expanding members 6.. These corner sections are provided with diagonal score lines 33 for outward folding of theirV sections through setting up movement of side walls 3l", `(see Fig. 9. Slits', fis/34:, forming continuations of score lines 3l, and33 define in conjunction with suitable score lilies or creases 35,' flaps 36 which latter are folded outwardly, is first folded on line 22 and 'then on line '22.
