EGG-CRATE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 8, 1914.
Application mm m a, ma. Serial No. 765,946.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Fnnnnarcx W. Schema,-
sliding cover, and has for one of its objectsto provide a simply constructed attachment whereby the sliding cover is secured 1n place and efiectually protects the contents of the container, while at the same time enabling the cover to-be readily detached and attached when required.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction. as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the.invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one of the improved rece tacles or crates with-the sliding cover part y removed and with the improved. attachment connected therewith. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional detail 1llus trating the manner of arranging the automatic catch for the end of the cover. Fig. 3
v is a sectional detail illustrating the manner of arranging the spring catch for the cen'- tral ortion of the cover. Fig, .4 is a perspective detail illustrating the construction of. the rear corner of the "cover.-
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followin description and indicated in all theviews o the drawings'by the same reference characters.
The body of the improved crate is represented as a whole at 10 of the usual form and preferably rovided with a central partition 11 to divi e the interior into two compartments. At the ends the bod 10 is provided with cleats 1213 whic overha the body for a distance and provided Wi llfi guidewa s for the cover 14.- The cover ispreferab yrovidedwith cleats 1,516 at the ends w ich bear at their outer edges against the inner faces of the body cleats 12-13. By this means the cover 14 may be inserted in position over the body 10 and completely closes the latter, and corresponds in area .with the upper area of the body. One of the body cleats, for instance the cleat 13,- is provided with a longitudinal recess 19 hav' an obli ue. inner portion over which a'p ate 17' is disposed, the plate being provided with an aperture 18 at its innerend. The apertured endzof the member 17 1S-fillSh with the inner face of the portion-of the cleat 13 against which the adjacent cover cleat, as for mstancethelcleat 16, bearsas re resented in Fig. .2.
ormed in the face of the cleat 16 next to the cleat 13 is a longitudinal recess 19', and pivoted at 20 within the recess 19' is a finger 21 having an off-set 22 at its inner end to engage in the opening 18 of the late 17 when the cover is dis osed in its 0 osed positlon. At its outer en the finger 21 proects beyond the outer terminal of the recess 19' as represented'at 23, a ainst which the finger of the operator may pressed to release the number 21. A sprin 24 is 10- cated within the recess 19' and ars eonstantly. against the inner terminal of the member 21 and thusmamtains the projection 22 yieldably within the opening 18 when the cover 14 is in closed position. The inclined portion ofthe giiideway over which t e projection 22 passes when. the cover 14 is forced into closed position to cause the member 21 to be automatically engaged with the plate 17 and thus lock the cover in its closed position. By thisarra-ngement it will be obvious that it is not-necessary to manually actuate the member '21 when closing the cover 14. At their inner ends the'cleats 12-13 are provided with stop blocks 25 afizinst which the inneredges of the cover 14 arto limit the inward movement of the'latter, the adjacent corners of the coverbeingrecessed, as re .resented at 26,-tobear over the stop bloc so that the rear ed of the cover 14 bearsupon' the upper. go of the back of the spring 'catch 28 is secured at 29 and provided with a depression 30 adapted to engage in a cavity 31in the up er edge of the partition 11, the inner side 0 the depression 30v i moved inwardly the cateh' will be automatically elevated and pass over the front of the late 17 forms .a

body 10 and automatically enga e in the cavlty 31 when the cover is fully c osed. By this means the central portion of the coveT is supported and prevented from displacement. By this arrangement also the cover is held at two points so that its security is Having thus described theinvention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A container having upwardly directed guide cleats with a channel in the inner face of one of the cleats, the inner endof the channel being oblique to the transverse plane of the container and merging gradually into the inner face of the cleat and with a socket at the inner end of the oblique portion, a cover slidably engaging thegulde cleats, and a spring controlled catch device carried by the cover and including aprojech'on for enmoaae of oneof the cleats and a socket at the inner end of the channel, a cover slidably engaging the guide cleats, a debt carried by the cover and having an outwardly opening channel, and a spring controlled catch device mounted to swing within the channel of the cover cleat and mcludin a" pro'ection for engaging in the socket an exten ing at the outer end in advance of the cover.
In testimon whereof, I aflix my signature in presence'o two witnesses.
