KNOCKDOWN CARRIER FOR FRAGILE RECEPTACLES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 31, 1%14.
Application filed October 19, 1912. Serial No. 726,730.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALLEN C. BnNNERs, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Birmingham, in the county of Jefferson and State of Alabama, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Knockdown Carriers for Fragile Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention. relates to a novel improvement in means for making it possible to handle and transport fragile receptacles such as paper buckets or wood veneer receptacles, and my object is to produce a knock-clown carrier, the several parts of which can be very cheaply manufactured, can be freighted at a nominal expense in view of the small space required for shipment, and can be readily assembled to provide a convenient and safe frame or carrier in which the fragile receptacle is received and by means of which it may be transportcd with as much convenience as in the case of the rigid metallic and wooden receptacles.
I have found that there are many uses in the arts for the inexpensive, and fragile receptacles, but the chief commercial difiiculty in connection with these is to provide a sufliciently inexpensive means for handling them when filled. To this end I have devised a knock-down frame which is formed principally or wholly of bent wire and which comprises a series of hoops or bands adapted to be detachably connected to a wire or bent metal angular frame which tapers outwardly for nesting purposes and is notched or slotted to receive the rings and the loops for the supporting bail.
My invention comprises the details of construction and arrangement of parts, which, in their preferred embodiments, are illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of my bucket carrier in operating position with the receptacle indicated therein in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a modified design in which the carrier is formed of bent wire.
Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
According to my invention, as illustrated in Fig. 1, I bend a strip of metal to form the upright frame comprising diverging legs 1 which are connected at their bottom by a crimped base portion 2. The legs 1 may be made to come above the top of the receptacle as shown, or they maybe bent over the top to hold the receptacle in the carrier more securely. I provide at the bottom of each leg 1, by bending the strip, a ring receiv ng seat or recess 3. A bottom or base ring 4 formed of bent wire is adapted to be forced through the opening left to give access to the recesses 3 and to be thereby detachably connected to the frame. This base ring is provided at opposite points with downwardly bent portlons 5 which form legs so that the ring is upported on a level with the top of the crimped base 2. The ring is preferably formed of wire of sufiicient strength to assist the frame in supporting a receptacle 6 which is indicated by dotted lines. At one or more intermediate points the uprights 1 are provided with ring receiving seats 7 which, like 3, have an opening just sufficient to receive each an intermediate circular ring 8, which is slightly larger than the ring 4:, due to the divergence of the uprights 1. There may be as many of these rings 8 as the particular use contemplated may require. Additional rings A in the bottom of the carrier may be used if desired which are secured in the same style notch as 7 and bent into the crimped part 2 which affords additional strength to the bottom of the carrier. The upper ends of the uprights are provided with slots 9 and a top ring 10 is provided, which at opposite points is provided with loops 11 which lie in the plane of the ring and are adapted to project through the slots 9 suiliciently to be engaged by the bail 12 which is provided with a handle 13.
In the form illustrated in Fig. 2 the design of the rings is the same as shown in Fig. 1, but instead of forming the upright frame of a strip of metal, I form it of wire which is bent in parallel strands forming upright legs 14 which are bent at 15 to provide the receiving recesses for the intermediate ring or rings 8. The wire is also bent to provide the receiving recesses 16 for the bottom ring 4: and is crimped at 17 to correspond with the portions 5 of the base ring to form the bottom support for the carrier and to strengthenit. At the top the strands 14lconverge and join overhead and the loops 11 of the ring 10 engage the top of the side loops and are engaged by the bail 12 in the 110 same manner as shown in Fig. 1. Projections 18 are provided for holding the loop 10 in its properv position.
The device is adapted to be knocked-down and the diverging disposition of the uprights 1 or 14 is designed to permit these parts to nest. It is also desirable that the upright frame should taper because the light and fragile carrier or receptacles will probably be designed also for nesting in hipment, the object being to produce at a minimum expense both for construction and shipment, means for transporting fluids or other materials in the light paper or fragile receptacle which may be destroyed after use if desired for sanitary purposes. The rings will occupy but small shipping space.
WVhen it is desired to assemble the carrier for use the rings 1, 8 and 10 can be rapidly inserted in their respective receiving notches or seats and the bail 12 attached. The receptacle may then be set down into the carrier with its bottom resting upon the bottom ring or rings 4: and the cross pieces 2 or 17, and on lifting the hail the weight of the receptacle will hold all parts in assembled position and relationship and the whole may be conveniently transported. After use the rings may be readily detached from the up right frame. I prefer to make the openings for the notches 3, 7, 15 and 16 just suflicient for the rings to be forced through them without becoming thereby permanently connected.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a skeleton knock-down carrier, in combination, a base having narrow integral oppositely disposed arms which when upright form spaced side members, a ring forming the top encircling member of the carrier, and means to detachably connect said ring at opposite points to said side members, which means comprise a bail for the carrier, substantially as described.
2. In a skeleton knock-down carrier, in
combination, a base havingnarrow integral oppositely disposed arms adapted to be bent upwardly to form spaced side members, a ring forming the top encircling member of the carrier, said side members being adapted to engage said top ring at opposite points and hold it horizontal, and a bail which e11- gages said top ring and holds it against detachment from said side members, substantially as described.
3. In a knock-down carrier, a U-shaped integral bent metal frame comprising a horizontal central base portion and spaced up right side members slotted at their upper ends, a ring which forms the top encircling member of the carrier, and a bail, said ring and hail being inter-connected through said slots in the side members and serving thereby to .detachably connect the several members of the carrier. f
4. In a knock-down carrier, a bent metal frame comprising a central base portion and upright arms which are spaced and oppositely disposed and each provided With an oblong transversely disposed slot at its up per end, a ring which by itself forms the top encircling member of the carrier and is disposed inside said arms, said top ring having loops bent outwardly at opposite points and adapted to be inserted through said slots and to engage the top wall thereof at spaced points to support the ring horizontally, and a bail having its lower ends disposed outside said arms and detachably connected'to the outer ends of'said loops, substantially as de-.
scribed.
