A. DEAN-Pp Improvement in Fruit-Baskets.
Nb. 130,025. Fig.1. Patented July so ARGUS DEAN, or OTTO, INDIANA.
P TENT OFFICE.
IMPROVEMENT IN FRUIT-BASKETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 130,025, dated July 30, 1872.
Specification of a Fruit-Basket, invented by ARGUs DEAN, of Otto, Clarke county, Indi-' ana.
' Nature and Objects of the Intention.
My invention relates to a construction of fruit-basket, designed to combine economy of manufacture with capacity, for the most secure and convenient stowage and safe trans portation of the fruit with the most advantageous display thereof when the basket is opened.
Description with Reference to the Drawing.
A, which staves are connected together and held at the proper distance apart by means of two interior hoops, B B, whose edges are flush with the ends of the staves, and two exterior hoops, G 0, whose edges extend some distance beyond the ends of thestaves. Nails 1), driven through both hoops and staves, serve to hold all firmly together. The basket flares from below upward, as shown, and has two heads, EI'F, which rest upon the ends of the staves and the edges of the inner hoops,
and are retained in place by cleats G, which are tacked upon the inner surface of the outer hoops. The heads have thus a firm bearing,
even with comparatively thin staves and hoops.
In filling the.basket is inverted and the smaller head F removed, so as to pack from the large end. 7 The advantages of this mode of packing are, that a layer of uniform fruit can be arranged upon the larger head, and, as no one projects more than another, none will become bruised, and when opened the fruit is seen smooth, uniform, and perfectly preserved. Some care is necessarily required in leveling up the top layer before heading in, and the labor of doing this is small in proportion to the comparatively small area of the bottom.
Thev flaring form of the basket enables a number of them, when empty, to be nested together for shipping.
It will be seen that the ends of the staves, being flush with the inner hoops, secure a wide rabbet or shoulder for the head, even with comparatively thin material.
Claim.
I claim- As a new article of manufacture, the fruitbasket, composed of the parts A B B G 0 D E F, arranged and connected as set forth.
In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
ARGUS DEAN. Attest:
