ALBERT H. THOMS, 0F INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
SHIPPING-CRATE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 23, 1915.
Application filed. October 11, 1913. Serial No. 794,565.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT H. THOMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented new and 'of this kind are in use but my invention particularly relates to the recessed corner bracket to receive the removable part of the crate. With this type of crate it is necessary to make it strong and durable and yet be able to manufacture it in a cheap and economical way.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the crate. Fig. 2 a plan view of the blank which forms the corner support and Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are respectively, top plan, end, and side elevations of the finished corner bracket.
The corner piece is made by cutting out of a piece of sheet metal and blank formed as shown in Fig. 2. The end of the blank 3 is turned down on the dotted line 4 and then turned back at practically a right angle on dotted line 5. Then at 90 degrees to these turns I again bend the blank on dotted line 6 thus forming a corner piece which can be fastened to the end of the crate 7 and to the top of the crate at 8. The offset or tongue portion 3 of the L-shaped member 8, projects above the edge of the side of crate 7, and cooperates with the angle part 3", 3 to form a recess or pocket 9, into which the removable cover board 10 may be slipped.
The plate member 3 -which projects outwardly from the angle part is adapted to bear on top of the edge of the box side and Copies of this patent may be obtained for When the goods are removed be secured thereto thereby bracing the angle part and holding the corner bracket firmly in position. By putting two of these corner brackets on the end of the crate, as shown in Fig. 1, it will be readily seen that the removable board 10 is held firmly in place. The opposite end of the removable board 10 is provided with a hole 11 which takes over a slotted stud 12 fastened to the end 13 of the crate. Therefore when board 10 is slipped into the corner pockets 9 and dropped down over slotted stud 12 a private seal can be placed through slotted stud 12 and thereby hold the removable board 10 securely in position.
By forming the corner pieces as shown,.I am able to get the maximum number of pieces out of the given area of sheet and when the corner is fastened to the end boards of the crate, said corner brackets are very stiff and rigid.
I claim as my invention:
1. A corner bracket adapted to be fastened to the corner of abox or crate and comprising a plane plate member adapted to bear against the box side and provided with an extended tongue, and an angle member projecting from two adjacent edges of said tongue and forming therewith an angular recess extending inwardly over the edge of jecting from two adjacent edges of said tongue and forming therewith an angular recess extending inwardly over the edge of the box, and a plate member projecting from said angle member adapted to be secured to the edge of the box.
