To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, HARRY SIMoNs, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to packing devices such as suit cases, trunks, wardrobes, an the like, and more especially to paper boxes for containing one or several suits of clothing' and provided with partitions around which the parts of the suit are folded, the object of the device being to prevent the suit from being unfolded or disordered while being transported in the box. These and other details and objects of the invention will be more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the claims and illustrated in'the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the box and the partitions with the parts separated. Fig. 2 shows the coat of a suit hung in a box preparatory to its being folded and packed. Fig. 3 shows the box with the coat and vest deposited therein. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the trousers being inclosed. Fig. 5 is a view showing the suit inclosed in the box.

A serious objection has been found to the paper packing box heretofore used to inclose and transport folded clothing, and that has been the liability of the suit to drop to one side of the box and become disarranged and unfolded, or become rumpled so that it would require pressing before use. The present invention is intended to overcome these objectionable features and consists in providing the box which comprises the top 10 and bottom section 11, with a loosely disposed paste board frame consisting of the

partitions

12 and 13 and the coat rack 14, united by the hinged portion 15, which is so divided that it joins the

partitions

12 and 13 and at the same time provides a portion 16 which connects the rack'with the partition 13.

The above described frame consists of a single piece of paper board folded on the in the notches 19 and

lines

17 and 18 and the rack 14 is cut from the partition 12 and the part 16 from the hinge portion 15 and the rack is then turned back as shown in Fig. 1, and adapted to lie ad acent to the bottom of the box.

0 The box is of ordinary form and has its sides joined by the tongues and slits shown 1n the several views, the top being slightly larger than the bottom section to fit thereon.

In packing a suit in the improved box the coat as shown in Fig. 2, is hung on the rack 14: and its upper part deposited in the bottom section 11, leaving its lower part hangmg over the edge of t e box. The partition 13 is then folded down on the upper end of the coat and the arms of the latter are folded up over the top of the partition. The vest may now be placed in the box and on the as shown in Fig. 3. 0n the vest may now be placed the upper part of the trousers, as shown in Fig. 4, and the partition 12 may now be closed down, and over it folded the lower part of the trousers, as shown in Fig. 5, the side of the partition being cut away at 20 for this urpose; the whole making a compact pac age with the various parts of the suit held firmly in place when the top is placed on the box, and, which through rough handling, will not be dislocated nor disturbed.

lit is evident that such a frame with its partitions may be used for womens suits also, and that other arrangements may be made. or details added without departing from the essential features above described, nor from the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim as new is:

1. In a packing box or receptacle, the combination with the top and bottom sections f a box, of a frame comprising a plurality of leaves or layers around which the clothing may be folded, and a rack or hanger cut from one of the leaves to carry the coat.

2. In a packing box or receptacle, the combination with a box comprising a top and bottom sections, of a plurality of leaves hinged together to separate the clothing in the box, and a hanger cut from one of the leaves and secured at the hinge.

3. In a packing box or .receptacle for lower part of the coat clothing, the combination with a paper box New York and State of New York, this 27th comprising a top and a ifottom section, of day of November, A. D. 1915. paper leaves united by a nu e portion and adapted to separate the clothing, and a HARRY SIMONS' hanger for the coat cut from one of the Witnesses: leaves at the hinge section.
