RECEPTACLE AND CLOSURE THEREFOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 10, 1915.
Application filed J' une 5, 1914. Serial No. 843,258.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, EDGAR C. LEIGHT01\, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Receptacles and Closures Therefor, of which the following is a specification.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple and durable receptacle and novel closure therefor.
rPhe invention contemplates, among other features, the provision of a receptacle and closure which can be cheaply manufactured and in which the closure can be initially sealed on the box or receptacle and when subsequently unsealed will still be in condition to constitute4 a closure for the receptacle, the device being particularly adaptable for use as a breakfast food box, confectionery box or for other similar purposes.
In the further disclosure of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, constituting a part of this speciication, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views', and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the re` ceptacle and closure; Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional View of the structure disclosed in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View taken o n the line 3 3 in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspcctive view of the box or receptacle, with the closure removed; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the rear of the closure; and Fig. 6 is a fragmentary vertical transverse sectional View showing a modifiedv form of closure.
Referring more particularly to the views, I disclose a box body 10 open at itstop but having its sides 11 at their upper ends bent to project across the top and form longitudinal strips 12, bent to project toward each other.
-The closure for the box consists of a body 13 having one end 14 constituting a sealing flap and bent downwardly with respect to the body as shown.
Secure to the closure body 13 1s a plate 15, the said plate, however, being secured to the closure bod only along a medial ,portion thereof so t at the ends of the plate will be slightly offset to lie in -spaced relation to the longitudinal edges' of the body, thus providing spaces 16 between the edges of the plate and the edges of the body, with the said edges of the plate and said edges of the body forming guides 17. One end of the plate 15 projects beyond the end of the body opposed to the end having the sealing flap 14 thereon and this projecting end of the plate is bent downwardly to form a seallng flap 18 similar in every respect to the sealing flap 14 and opposed thereto but formed with the plate 15, whereas the sealing flap 14 is formed with the body 13. rIhus a transverse edge of the plate'l lies in the plane of the sealing flap 14 and above the same, whereas the transverse edge of the body 13 lies adjacent the inner face of the sealing flap 18 and beneath the point of formation of the sealing flap with the plate.
In applying the closure shown in Fig. 5'
to the box body shown in Fig. 4, the sealing flaps 14 are initially 'lat o'r in the plane of the respective members with which they are formed and, as will be readily apparent, the application of the closure body to the box body will result in the strips 12 being received between the guides 17, thus permitting of readily advancing the closure body on to the box body until the strips 12 lie entirely within the spaces 16 formed between the guides 17. At this time the flaps `14 and 18 will project beyond the ends of the box body and be bent downwardly upon the ends and secured thereto by a suitable mucilaginous substance secured to the inner faces of the flaps. The box will thus be sealed and when it is desired to open the same it is only necessary to detach the tabs or sealing flaps 14 and 18 to permit of removing or sliding the closure body with respect to the box body whereby the box body the contents thereof can be removed.
As stated heretofore, a box and closure such as described is particularly adapted for use as acontainer for confections and the like and the boX and closure can both be made suitably ornamental and artistically designed to present a neat and pleasing appearance.
In Fig. 6 I disclose a modified form of my device in which instance the box body 10 is constructed the same. as shown in Fig. 1. The closure, however, consists of an upper plate 19, a lower plate 20 and an intermediate connecting plate 21, interposed between the, upper and lower plates and having the same glued or otherwise secured Ican be partially or entirely opened so that thereto, with the upper and lower plates of substantially the same width and of greater described my invention, l
members connected along their medial portion and having their longitudinal edges spaced apart to Jform guideways adapted to receive said strips, with the spaced portions of the members offset from the medial p0rtions thereof so as to insure the proper spacing apart of the same to readily receive the strips and whereby the closure can be slid upon the box body, and end tabs, one of which is formed on an end of the lower of said superposed on an end of the upper of said superposed members, with the end tabs adapted to project downwardly to overlap the ends of the boX body.
In testimony whereof I alix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDGAR C. LEIGHTON.
