CRATE.

CRATE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 28, 1914.
Application filed. October 28, 1912. Serial No. 728,196.
T 0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR MUNCHAU- sen a citizen of the United States, residing at Independence, in the parish of Tangipahoa and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and useful Crate, of which the following is a specification.
The invent-ion relates to new and useful improvements in crates and more particularly to a crate adapted for the shipment of berries, grapes and fruits of various kinds.
The object of the invention is the pro vision of a crate of this character which is cheap and substantial in construction.
A further object is the provision of a crate having a free circulation of air for the preservation of the goods carried therein.
'With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the following details of construction and combination of parts as will be more clearly understood from the following specification and drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is an end view in section. Fig. 3 is a view of the division plate, and Fig. i is a detail.
In the drawings the numeral 1 designates the cross strips of the bottom and 2 the longitudinal strips. Perforations 3 are formed in each end of the cross strips and receive the projections 1 formed on the lower end of the posts Secured to the posts 5 are the longitudinal strips 6 and to the longitudinal strips are secured the vertical strips 7 which form the sides of the crate. The ends of the crate are composed of the vertical strips 8 and the cross strips 9. The ends are secured to the bottom and sides by nails d 'iven through the strips 9 into the bottom cross strips 1 and the post As clearly shown in the drawings, the sides are inclined, making the crate of greater width at the top than at the bottom.
Division plates are provided for supporting boxes in the crate and these division plates are composed of the longitudinal strips 10 and the cross strips 11. The cross strips extend beyond. the edges of the longitudinal strips and when in the crate the cross strips engage on the longitudinal strips 6 of the sides and the ends of the strips 10 engage on the cross strips 9 of the ends. A top plate 12 is provided and is constructed in the same manner as the division plates. This top plate forms the cover and is adapted to be secured to the sides and ends.
It will be seen that by constructing a crate in this manner, it can be cheaply made and be substantial and permit of the free circulation of air.
lVhen the crate is emptied and it is desired to return the crate to the shipper the ends can be disconnected from the sides and bottom and this will leave the sides free to be removed from the bottom. When all of the parts are disconnected, the crate can then be returned in knock-down form.
The crate is of such construction that wood which is ordinarily wasted can be used, and I can use wood secured from small trees which would ordinarily be of no use.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A crate comprising a bottom having perforations formed along its edges, inclined sides comprising vertical strips connected by longitudinal strips extending beyond the vertical strips, vertical posts secured to the longitudinal strips and having projections adapted to enter the perforations in the bottom, ends secured to thebottom and sides, said ends comprising vertical strips connected by transverse strips extending beyond the vertical strips and across the vertical posts at the ends of the sides to receive the fastening means for securing the ends to the sides, division plates received on the longitudinal strips of the sides, and the transverse strips of the ends, and a cover adapted to engage the ends and sides.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR MUNCHAUSEN. lVitnesses W. E. HENDERSON, P. E. EoLHoNDLn.
