UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HORACE O. JONES, OF DOWAGIAO, MICHIGAN.
IMPRGVEMENT IN FRUIT-BASKETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 130,299, dated August 6, 1872.
SPECIFICATION.
I, HORACE G. JONES, of Dowagiac, in the county of Cass and State of Michigan, have invented certain Improvements in Fruit-Baskets, of which the following is a speciiication:
The nature of my invention relates to the construction of fruit-baskets; the object being to quicken and oheapen the process of manufacture, and to produce a basket that shall be especially adapted to the transportation of fruit in small quantities.4
Letters of reference are marked on the drawing, which indicate the parts represented by a similar letter in this specication, of which the annexed drawing forms a part.
A represents the splints. These splints are made of thin strips of wood, sufficiently long to extend across the bottom to the top of both' sides of the basket. B represents a disk. This disk is cut from a board the proper size to form the exterior of the base of the basket. The splints A are laid across the disk B in a radial position, crossing each other at about midway of their length, a sufficient number being used to nearly till the circumference of the base of the basket, and secured to the disk B by means of nails driven through them and clinched on the under side of the disk. The outer ends of the splints are bent up to nearly a vertical position and secured between the hoops O D, leaving the top of the basket somewhat larger than the bottom, leaving open spaces between the splints. A middle hoop, E, is attached to the basket about midway of its height. This hoop is contracted so as to give the basket a bell-shaped appearance.
Now it will be seen that the disk B forms a substantial support to the splints, and dispenses with the necessity ofbottom hoops, commonly used in such baskets, and may be much quicker applied; and in view of the enormous quantity of this class of basket required yearly, a small improvement becomes very valuable.
The accompanying drawing shows a vertical transverse section through the diameter of my basket.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A fruit-basket consisting of the disk B, having the standards or splints A extending from side to side across the disk, in combination with the hoops C, D, and E, all constructed and arranged as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
y HORACE C. JONES.
