RECEPTACLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 1'3, 1914.
Application filed June 12, 1912. Serial No. 703,276.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, J osnrn S. KUNKEL and EDWARD R. KUNKEL, citizens of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to receptacles, and particularly to receptacles of thin wood, wood veneer, paper board, or the like, and has for an object to provide a durable reinforcement for the same, which will serve to prevent the walls from crushing in or collapsing, or from being unduly broken or inj ured while the receptacle is in transit.
Another object of the invention is to provide a reinforcement for the receptacle which can be readily applied and which will be provided with locking terminals that can be engaged with the receptacle in such manner as to hold the closure thereof securely in a closed position.
Another object of the invention is to provide reinforcements for the receptacle which will admirably serve as hinges, on which the closure can be opened or closed, as the occasion may demand.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view, showing companion or adjacent walls of the receptacle in flat positions and illustrating the initial positions of the reinforcing members. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the complete receptacle. Fig. 8 is a horizontal section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a section on line 55 of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a portion of the reinforcements.
The receptacle herein illustrated comprises a bottom wall 1 of thin wood, wood veneer, paper board or like material, the front and rear walls 2 and 3, and the closure 4. The end walls 5 have secured thereto outer vertical bars 6, and upper and lower horizontal bars 7 and 8, the latter being rabbeted, as at 9, to the former, and as illustrated, nails or like fastenings 10 are passed through the interfitting rabbeted portions of the adjacent bars, and through the end walls. The end walls 5 are reinforced by sheet metal strips 11, from which spurs 12 are stamped, the said spurs being extended through the end walls and clenched against the inner sides thereof, whereby the strips are securely held in place.
Reinforcing sheet metal strips 13 encircle the companion walls 1, 2, 3 and. 4, and as shown, each has stamped therefrom spurs 14 which are passed through the walls and clenched thereagainst at one side. The top wall 4 of the receptacle, which in effect forms a closure, may be opened or closed at the will of the operator, with the flexible strips 13 serving as hinges. Along one of 6a the longitudinal edges of the receptacle, the strips 13 are extended outwardly therefrom, as at 15, providing spring portions, whereby the strips are furnished suflicient elasticity to permit of their being bent or strained slightly on movements of the closure wall 4 to opened or closed position, without fear of the accidental snapping or breakage of the strips. This construction also serves to hold the closure in a closed position.
The openings 16 in the terminals 17 of the reinforcing strips 13 are disposed adj acent to the upper edge of the wall 2 of the receptacle, and they are adapted to receive the spurs 19 on the opposite terminals 18 of the strips, whereby the said closure wall 4 can be securely held in closed position.
What is claimed is:
A receptacle having a swinging closure, and relatively springy and flexible metallic reinforcing strips secured to the walls of the receptacle and to the closure and each having portions beyond the joint between the closure and the adjacent side of the receptacle, struck up and spaced outwardly from the receptacle to form relatively springy hinges operating under the inherent elasticity of the strips to hold the closure against opening and locking terminals formed on the strips and having means for engagement with adjacent portions of the receptacle to hold the closure in a sealed condition.
In testimony whereof we afiiX our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
