WTEI) STATES PATENT WILLIAM C. WILLETS, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
SHIPPING-BOX.
Application filed August 3, 1911.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VVILLIAM C. VVILLn'rs, of Minneapolis, Hennepin county, Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shipping-Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to flexible boxes and particularly to that class used for shipping merchandise, such as canned goods, where it is desirable to prevent the cans from rubbing against one another and marring the appearance of the label or one can from becoming dented by the impact of the adjoining can.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple economical merchandise container with means for separating the cans which will not add materially to the cost of the container.
The invention consists generally in striking or punching out a tongue or flap to proj ect between adjoining cans, the edges of the flap being turned inwardly upon itself to present a yielding surface to the pressure of the cans.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a flexible box embodying my invention, showing the box open, Fig. 2 is a similar view, showing the box closed, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the flaps projecting between the walls of the cans. Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the box in knock down form, Fig. 5 is a perspective view, showing a slightly modified form of my invention, Fig. 6 is a similar view, showing a modified form of flap, Fig. 7 illustrates a plate adapted to be inserted in the bottom of the box, Fig. 8 is a detail sectional view showing a modified form of filler, Fig. 9 is a sectional view taken on a line substantially at right angles to the section line of Fig. 8, Fig. 10 is a perspective View of the filler removed from the box.
In the drawing, 2 represents the side walls of the box, 8 the end walls having the flaps 4:, and 5, a cover formed on one of the side walls in the usual way and provided with a longitudinal flap 6.
7 represents a series of tongues or flaps cut or punched out of the cover 5. These flaps are provided at suitable intervals and they are adapted to project between the cans 8 with which the package is filled. These tongues are provided with lips 9 which are formed by cutting a slit lengthwise of each Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar, 2, 1915.

tongue near the middle thereof and folding the edges thereof outwardly against the surface of the flap. These edges are more or less resilient and when the flaps are inserted between the cans the lips will yield and accommodate themselves to the space between the cans and hold the cans securely against a rubbing movement upon one another and prevent one can from striking another with suiiicient force to dent the walls of the can. These lips are formed when the package is filled and may be readily turned outagainst the surface of the tongue when the tongue is inserted between the cans. I have shown the tongues in the top of the package, but they may be located in the bottom or side walls thereof, if preferred.
The flaps 4 are scored as indicated in Fig. 1 so that the ends may be turned down and inserted between the adjoining cans or articles in the package.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a modified construction which consists in turning in the edges of the flaps toward the center thereof, instead of slitting the middle portion and turning the edges outwardly. This, however, merely amounts to a reversal in the manner of forming the lips on the flaps. The flaps or tongues are substantially the same, but I will designate the inwardly turned lips by reference numeral 10.
In Fig. 6 I have shown another modification which consists in punching out the middle portion of the flap to form a part 14:, which, when the flap is inserted between the cans, presents a yielding surface to the can walls.
In Fig. 7 I have shown a filler plate 11 adapted to fit over the cans in the package or placed under them and having flaps 12 provided with lips 13 corresponding to those heretofore described with reference to Fig. l, and having substantially the same function, namely, the presenting of a yielding surface to the walls of the cans or other articles in the package.
In Figs. 8 and 9 I have illustrated a larger box 15 having space therein for four rows of cans, two rows deep. A filler plate 16 is placed between the upper and lower rows of each pair with tongues corresponding to those heretofore described depending between the contiguous cans, and I prefer to form loops or crimps 17 in the filler plates to depend between the abutting ends of the opposite rows to present double yielding Q4 thicknesses to the end pressure of the cans. These loops or clamps maybe made of any suitable depth and Will have the eifect of holding the ends of the abutting rovvs of cans apart and preventing them from dent- 7 ing or damaging one another in transit. This filler may be placed loosely in each package or it may be stitched or stapled to the walls of the box, if preferred. This construction, however, Will be obvious and I have not thought it necessary to illustrate it herein. 7 I
I claim as my invention 1. A shipping package adapted for canned goods or the like having flaps of flexible material depending between the Walls of the cans in the same roW, said flaps having lips or tongues formed by making'a' short bend in the edges of the flaps, said lips nor- Gopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Wa.shington,D.G. g I
mally projecting outwardly flaps when folded but adaptedfto yield under pressure of the cans and resist contact of the abutting cans with one another.
2. A shipping package adapted to contain articles such' as cannedgoods, a sheet of; flexible material therein having a depe'nd inglongitudinal crimp adapted to fit be-' tween. the abutting ends of the opposite cansof parallelrows, said sheet also having depending flaps between the adjacent cans of the same row said fiapshaving bent" edges presenting yielding lips or' 'tong'ues to! the sideWise pressureof th'e cans.
In Witness whereof, I-have hereunto set my hand this Commissioner of Patents.
