SHIPPING-RECEPTACLE FOR AUTOMOBILE-TIRES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
. Patented Sept. 5, 1916.
Application filed December 20, 1915. Serial No. 67,733.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, lVILLIAM R. Bosnia- BARK, acitizen of the United'States, residing at Akron, county of Summit, State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shipping-Receptacles for Autom0bile-Tires, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
Often automobile tires are shipped in small lots containing less than a dozen tires, and the practice now is to place such tires in a stack, surround them with a protective sheathing or wall, and inclose the whole in a piece of burlap. This makes an expensive package because of the time required in forming it and for the further reason that the burlap used for a covering is an expensive material.
The object of the present nvention is to make a simple and inexpenslve container for small lots of tires, whereby the packages may be made up quickly and conveniently and at a low cost and will be adequately protected against damage during shipping.
The various features of novelty whereby my invention is characterized will hereinafter be pointed out with particularity 111 the claims; but, for a full understanding of my invention and of its object and advantages, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a view of one of my improved containers flattened out for shipping and storing purposes; Fig. 2 is a top plan view 'of a package of tire's inclosed in the container; Fig. 3 is a section taken approximately on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, the tires being shown partly in-elevation and partly in section; and Fig. 4 is an elevation of the retaining rod.
Referring to the drawing, 1 represents a strip of stifl cardboard or other-suitable, cheap and yet comparatively strong bendable material having a length sutficient to permit the sheet to be bent into the form of a cylinder large enough to surround a tire of a given size and having a width or height equal to the height of a stack containing any desired number of tires. Projecting from the top and bottom of the sheet are flaps, 2, preferably formed integral with the body of the sheet. The flaps are of any desired length but are preferably longer'than the radial thickness of the tires to be packaged, so that when the container is bent into the form of a cylinder around a stack of tires and the flaps are folded inwardly, the flaps form a. complete protection for the ends of the stack. The flaps are preferably formed by using a sheet having a height equal to the height of the cylinder or container plus twice the height of one of the flaps, the sheet being then simply slit inwardly from its top and bottom edges, at intervals, for a distance equal to the length of the flaps desired. The sheet may also be provided with an extension or flap, 3, at one end which willpermit a lap joint to be made cured in place, preferably by means of staples, 5, driven over the same through the underlying material. After a package has been made up by closing the container around a stack of tires, the ends of the tie members are joined together in any suitable way so as to .hold the flaps securely in their inwardly folded positions. This may conveniently be accomplished by providing each end of each of the tie rods with an eye, '6, and so proportioning the parts that the eyes at each end of the package will register with each other at the aicleof the stack of tires. All the free ends of the tie members at each end of the package may then be connected together by passing a holding device through the registering eyes. 'However, in order to make the container fit snugly upon the stack of tires and prevent the tires from rubbing one upon the other, I prefer toconnect the ends of thejtie. members at one end of the package withthoseat the other end. of the package in such-a way thatthe two centers fronrwhich the tie membersradiate are drawn toward each other, thus causing.
the flaps to bedrawrisnugly over the ends of the: stack, giving-. theends of the packagea, dish. shaped appearance. Thiscan lcconvenien'tly be accomplished. by passing through the two groups of registering. eyes a.r0d-.or other. device, 7, having-. at' its ends v hooks, 8, jthe length .of the. rod be 'ng such that thetie members will be drawn taut.
';.-The resiliency of the tires will permit the parts t -yield enough to slip the hooks in ,place; or, if desired, one end of the rod may befleftstraightand may bebent back. into a hook. shape after being passed through the :,eyes.- e j The lap jointmay be produced'by passing .qstaples, 9,or.other fastening means through the end fiap,3 and the opposite end of the member 1 ,-as-indicated in Fig. 2.. Eriesired-,1 transverse tie members or hoops 19, :may beprov ded, these members belng S1Il11- .lar to the'members 4 and having their-ends twisted together as indicated at ll when the blank is bent into the form of a cylinder.
' Furthermore, these transverse tie members or. hoops may beusedj not only as reinforcing. members but to hold the, container in its cylindrical shape and cause it .tov fit snugly around the stack of tires.
.:-.=While I have illustrated and described .with particularity only a single preferred form of my invention, I do not desire to, be
vlimited 2170 the exact structural detailsf thus illustrated and described; but intend. to
401cover; allforms and arrangements which comev within the terms employed inthe definitions of my invention constituting the-appendedclaims.
