Application filed July as, 191 Serial li e. 8 2,Sf.9.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LUCIAN RosnNwaLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Folding Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in folding boxes.
It is particularly adapted for use in berry or fruit boxes.
The object of my invention is to provide a novel folding box which is cheap to construct, easily extended or collapsed, and which has great relative strength and durability.
The novel features of my invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates the preferred embodiment of my in vention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved box, shown extended and partly broken away. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical cross sectional view of the box, the U shaped brace being omitted. Fig. 3 is a reduced perspective view of the U shaped brace. Fi l: is an edge view of the box collapsed. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the box collapsed. Fig. 6 is a plan view of the strip, which forms the sides of the box, stretched out. Fig. '7 is a plan view of the Y strip, which forms the bottom, stretched out.
Fig. 8 is a top View of the box, reduced, the removable bottom member being omitted. Fig. 9 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the box, a lower part thereof, only, being shown, and the removable bottom member and the U shaped brace being shown in position.
Similar reference characters designate similar parts in the different views.
1 designates a rectangular strip which forms the sides of the box, the term sides including the ends of the box. The strip 1 may be of any suitable material, such as sheet wood or card board. -t is provided with a plurality of parallel flexible joints 2, which may be formed by creasing or scoring the strip. The strip 1 is bent at the creases, which are at right angles with the longitudinal edges of the strip, to form the shape of box desired, a rectangular box being shown, and the ends of the strip are secured together, as shown in Figs. 1,2 and S.
A second rectangular strip, having approximately the width of the length of the box inside, is provided with a middle reotangular portion 3, which forms the bottom of thcbox, and which at opposite edges is ment with two vertical flexible joints 7 provided respectively in the two opposite sides 1 which are adjacent to the longitudinal edges of the strip forming the bottom. This disposition of the flexible j oints 6 and 7 permits the box to be collapsed to the flat form shown in F at and 5. If desired, in collapsing the bottom portion 3 may be bent inwardly instead of outwardly along the joint 6. 1
The flaps 5 double two sides of the box, thereby lending strength to the structure and melting the box more durable and less liable to bedistorted in use. Preferably, the bottom portion is disposed above the lower edges or" the box, thereby leaving a space for berries or fruit, when the boxes are piled one on top of the other. I
For holdingthe sides and bottom securely extended, a removable bottom member 8 of substantially the inner dimensions of the box, or a little less, maybe mounted between the sides 1, is adaptedto rest upon the upper side of the bottom portion 3. The member 8 prevents the bottonipon tion bending upwardly along the joint 6. if desired, additional means for holdingthe box extended may be provided in an inverted shaped brace, the transverse portion 9 of which is disposed transversely to the joint 6 and is adapted to bear against the under side of the bottom portion 8, so
as to support the same and to prevent its bending downwardly along said brace is provided at its ends with downwardly extending arms 10, each preferably U shaped so as to be adapted to clamp the adjacent side 1 of the box, Fig. 9. After the box has been extended to the position shown in Fig. 2, the bottom member 8, when used, is placed therein upon the bottom portion 3. The brace is thenapplied, opposite sides of the box being slipped into thell the joint 6. The
shaped arms 10, after which said arms may be :tastenedto the sides by indenting them w'vith a suitable punch, notshown thereby formingindentations l1 in the arms andin the sidesof thebox, the indentations inter= arms 10 are sprung apart suiliciently to permittheir removal from the sides engaged thereby. The brace may then be removed,
after which the box may be collapsed by pressing the joint 6 downwardly or upwardly and pressing the sides of the box toward each other.
r I do not limit my invention to the structure shown and described, as modifications, within the scope o1 the appended claims,
maybe made without departing from the spirit of my invention.
ll-laying thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat-j I cut, is 2-- l. A folding box comprising a plurality of sides -flexibly connected at the corners of the box, two opposite sides having each a vertical flexible joint intermediate of adjecent corners two flaps secured respectively at their upper ends to opposite sides of the box adjacentito the upper edges thereof, and having abottomportion provided with a transverse flexible joint in alinement with I said vertical'joints, the bottom portion being disposed above the lower edges of the box and flexibly connected at opposite edges with the lower ends respectively of said flaps, and an inverted U shaped member having its transverse portion disposed below said bottom portion, each of the arms or" the U shaped member being U shaped and adapted to clamp the adjacent side of the box. 1
2. A folding box comprising a plurality of sides flexibly connected at the corners of Copies of this patent may be obtained for the box, two opposite sides having each a flexible vertical joint intermediate of adjacent corners of the'box, and having a bottom portion flexibly connected at opposite edges with opposite sides of the box and disposed above the lower edges of the box and provided with a flexible transverse joint in alinement with said vertical joints, and a U shaped member having its transverse portion disposed transversely to said transverse and provided with a fiexibletransverse joint in alinement with said vertical joints, and
an inverted U shaped member having its transverse portion disposed transversely to said transverse joint and adapted to support said bottom portion, the arms of said member each being U'shaped and said arms being adapted to respectively clamp opposite sides of the box,
4-. A folding box having a plurality of sides flexibly connected at the corners, two opposite sides having each a central vertical flexible joint, the box having a bottom flexibly connected with the other two sides of the box and having a flexible joint in alinement with said vertical joints, and an inverted ll-shaped brace disposed below and adapted to support said bottom, the arms of said brace being U-shaped and adapted to clamp two opposite sides of the box. e
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
