SHIPPING-CONTAINER AND BOARD FOR CONSTRUCTING THE SAME.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 19, 19 15. Serial No. 29,212.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, STANTON W. Fons- MAN, a citizen of. the United States, residing at Pasadena, in the countyof Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Shipping-Container and Board for Constructing the following is a specification.
This invention relates to boxes and other containers designed for protecting their contents from injury'during shipment and storage and for holding together packages of goods, especially packages of canned goods for convenience of handling for shipment and for storage.
In the present state of the art, so far as I am advised, there have been provided for this purpose boxes of wood, and also boxes made of flat corrugated and cellular pasteboard of various kinds, and it has been customary to construct said boxes made of pasteboard in a collapsible form substantially such as I propose to employ in the most general embodiment of this invention.
It is an object of this invention to provide a container of minimized weight and maximized protective qualities, thesame being designed to resist to acomparatively maximum extent the stress and strain and destructive forces to which a package of goods, heavy or light, is lightly to be subjected of this invention, I will state that an-object of this invention is to provide a container of minimum weight having a strength suflicient to sustain without liability of being determined height of stack.
crushed, a load of one thousand pounds distributed over an area of 9 by 14: inches, the side dimensions of the container, so that containers constructed in accordance with this invention having outside dimensions of 9 by 14: by 5!; inches can be stacked in stacks such that the weight upon the top side of the lower one of said containers in a stack may be one thousand pounds, morelor less, distributed evenly over the top side of'said bottom package without any danger of crushing the same; thus enabling the packages to be loaded into cars and stored in warehouses with perfect safety for a. pre- Where the goods contained in the packages are cans of fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and the like, the weight of each package is the Same, of which.
being handled, stored or transported. As an illustration of the practical resultoonsiderable and it is an object to insure safety of the same, whether said cans be of glass or of sheet metal.
An. object of the invention is to accomplish all of these advantageous results-at a minimum expense and with the usual apparatus and materials at the command of the ordinary box manufacturer.
,All of these objects I have succeeded in accomplishing by this invention after a period of about three years of careful application and experiment toward the solution of the problem. I
The invention may be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a container constructed. as a collapsible box in accordance with this invention and erected ready to receive the goods. Parts are broken away to expose the structure. Fig. 2 is an enlarged piece of board from which boxes corresponding to the box shown in Fig. 1 may be constructed, parts being separated to illustrate the construction. Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional detail of a corner of. a box constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 4: is an enlarged section of the board of which boxes corresponding to Patented Nov. 23, i915.
said box shown in Fig. 1 may be constructbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, and end members 5, 6, forming continuations thereof to fold over and close the ends of the container. The wall is cellular, being constructed of an inter mediate bent sheet 7 an inner. facing sheet 8, and an outer indurated plural ply sheet 9, said sheets being unitedto. form a cellular structure, substantially" shown in Figs. 3 and 4:; the inner members of thestructure being crushed or creased as at 10 to allow the container to be constructed and erected or collapsed as occasion requires.
I The inner facing 8 "and the intermediate Sheet 7 may be of P per or the like, as
shown in Fig. 3 or the inner' facing may be lplural ply as shown at 8 in Fig. 4, and may 105 In the drawing, Ihave shown a container having a cellular wall formed of .four memgreater strength and rigidity than is called The intermediate sheet is shown corrugated, but it is understood that any cellulat'ed structure or form may be employed, and that said sheet may be honeycombed, indented or otherwise formed with undulations, wrinkles, or irregularities, impressions, or cavities of such a character that when "the three sheets are united, as shown in Fig. 3, the board thus formed will be of cellular structure.
The sheets 7 and 8 may be-of a soft and yielding character, and the. air contained in the cellular body is confined by the folds formedby bending the board transversely of the corrugations. Suchfolding closes the cells and confines the air in a well known manner so that the plural ply indurated outer facing 9 in combination with the closed air cells, constitutes a sheet of'unexpected strength and rigidity which is increasedin the structure shownin Fig. 4.
. The intermediate body 7 may be united to the facings 9 and 801's by any suitable medium, either silicate, paste, glue or other cementing material.
The board may be constructed by cementing one side of an ordinary cellular pasteboard formed of soft paper arranged with two flat sides and an intermediate corrugated or other cell forming sheet of paper,-
the indurated facing being applied to one side of said board in one or more plies, united thereto by silicate, or other strong cementing material.
By this invention I have provided a board having an indurated facing strengthened by a cellular structure united to one side thereof, said cellular structure having a plain surface opposite the indurated facing, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.
I am aware that corrugated board has been manufactured and been in use for the making of shipping containers, I am also aware that two or more ply pasted fiber board has been manufactured an used in the making of what is known as solid fiber shipping containers.
It is a novel and new invention to use a solid fiber board, (and what I mean as solid fiber board, is two or more ply paper pasted board, the advantages gained in constructing a corrugated board box using two or more ply pasted board for the faces, he in i the fact that the pasted board is more rigid,
together,) in connection with corrugated tougher and less liable to be torn or punctured than a single ply pasted board and I have discovered that the combination of said two or more ply pasted fiber board with the cellular board set forth, affords a solution of a problem heretofore unsolved, in
that it affords a container of maximized strength and puncture resisting qualities combined with minimized weight.
I claim:
1. A container having a cellular wall constructed of an inner facing sheet of yielding sheet material, an outer indurated facing sheet formed of two or more plies of paper pasted together and an intermediate bent sheet united to said inner and outer sheets.
2. The board set forth comprising facingsheets and an intermediate corrugated sheet united together, one of the facing sheets being of two or more plies pasted together.
3. The board set forth comprising facing sheets and an intermediate corrugated sheet pasted together, one or both of the facing sheets being of two or more plies pasted together.
4. The board set forth comprising facing sheets and an intermediate corrugated sheet pasted together; one of said facing sheets being multiply.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles' California this 10th day of May, 1915.
