QZZZd/ 9 EMILE F. RIBBEGK, OF NEW IBERIA, LOUISIANA.
CRATE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 20,1914.
Application filed February 2, 1811. Serial No. 606,235.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EMILE F. Brannon, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Iberia, in the parish of Iberia and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Crates, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to crates, and the object is to provide a crate of the type of that described in my Patent No. 960,401, in which a pivoted receptacle is mounted within a housing and is designed to remain in a given position regardless of the position of the housing, so long as the latter is not placed on end.
A further object is to provide an innor receptacle which shall occupy substantially all of the space within the housing, the latter being in this instance cylindrical, and which shall permit of the passage of air in all directions through the crate, for the purpose of affording ventilation.
A still further object is to provide means especially suited to a crate of this character for holding particular kinds of merchandise, or produce.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this application, Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of the crate, Fig. 2 is a side elevation, Fig. 3 is a view of one end, Fig. 4; is a top plan view showing the locking device, 5 shows one of the perforated ends of the inner receptacle, Fig. 6 shows a cellular tray for eggs and small fruits, Fig. 7 shows a cover for the egg tray.
In carrying out my invention, I employ a cylindrical housing 1, and across one end thereof secure permanently a bar 2, in which a central rod or shaft 3 is mounted, the opposite end of such rod resting in an aperture in cross bar 4 located in the end of the housing which may be regarded as the top thereof. Cross bar 4 is connected to the housing by means of a hinge 5 and is provided with a hasp 6, secured by lock 7 Within the housing a cylindrical receptacle 8 is arranged, being mounted on rod 3 which passes through apertures in the central portions of the ends of the receptacle. These ends, numbered, respectively 9 and 10 are perforated, to provide for the circulation of air, the sides of receptacle 8 being also perforated, for the same purpose.
End portion 10 serves as a cover and is secured by means of lugs or projections 11 and 12. The edge of the cylindrical Wall may be notched slightly, to permit the lugs or cars to fit over the edge of said wall, as shown in Fig. 2.
lVithin the receptacle 8, articles of produce may be carried in bulk, if desired, and when the crate, that is, the housing 1 is rolled like a barrel, the contents will not be shaken about and bruised, as receptacle 8 will retain a given position under these conditions.
When using the crate for the transportation of eggs, or of certain fruits, I employ cellular trays or nests 13 formed of rings 14L of suitable material. These are rigidly connected so that the entire tray may not require other bracing or securing means, unless an attached bottom is required under given conditions. The nests are provided with covers 15 having central apertures 16 and o1 )enings 17, to permit of the covers be ing lifted off. The cellular tray may be formed of metal if desired, in order to provide sutticient rigidity, and the entire crate, with the exception of the cross bars, may be formed of the same material, although I do not limit myself to the use of metal.
It will be observed that ventilation is provided on all sides of the inner receptacle in whatever position the crate as a whole may be placed.
hat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
In a crate, a housing cylindrical in form, a cross bar extending across one end thereof, and having its ends atlixed to the sides of the housing, a second bar hinged in one end of the housing, locking means for the other end, an inner receptacle, a rod constituting an axle extending lengthwise of the inner receptacle, being secured to the stationary cross bar, and loosely mounted in the hinged bar the bar last mentioned serving as a locking device for the inner receptacle, and when in a closed position, as a pivotal support for said receptacle.
In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EMILE F. RIBBECK.
