RECEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 3, 1919.

Application filed November 28, 1917. Serial No. 204,410.

To all ywhom t may concern.'

' Be it known that I, RAY H. SWERDFEGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Receptacle, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to receptacles, particularly of the type adapted to contain tobacco, snuff, spices, and other commodities usually packed in containers constructed of tin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a container of this character of a construction which admits of the forming of the container of brous material, such as paper; to impregnate the fibrous material with wax oil, paraiin, or a like substance to render the receptacle moisture proof and thus obviate the necessity of using the usual moisture proof lining; and to provide a receptacle or container which is strong and durable, and lwhich may be economically produced.

The above, and various other objects and advantages of this invention will in part be described, and in part be understood, from the following .detailed description of the present preferred embodiment, the same be- .ing illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein: 4

Figure 1 is a perspective View of a receptacle constructed according to the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken through the same.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken through the receptacle on the plane indicated by the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the upper end of the receptacle taken on the plane indicated by the fue 4-4 of Fig. 2, showing the hinge joint between the body and the cover of the receptacle.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view through one of the upper eorn'ers of the receptacle, showing the cover closed.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentarv sectional view through the upper end of the receptacle, showing the front wall and the cover overlapping and interlocking therewith.

Fig. 7 is a similar view of one of the lower corners of the receptacle.

Fig. 8 is a View similar to Fig. 3, showing, a slightly modified form of reinforcement for the body of the receptacle.

Referring to this drawing 1() designates the body part of the receptacle which may be made of any suitable fibrous material, such as paper pulp suitably compressed and molded to the desired form, o1 which may be otherwise suitably constructed. This body part 10 is preferably impregnated with a water proofing composition of any desired ingredients dependent upon the material to /be packed in the receptacle.

A bottom plat-e 11 conforming in contour to the cross sectional shape of the body 10', and preferably constructed from the saine material as that of the body is fitted in the lower end thereof and may be of slightly greater dimensions than that of the receptal le, as shown in Fig. 2, and about the inarginal edge of which is overturned a flange 12 comprising the lower edge portion of the body. The flange 12 is rolled over against the under side of the bottom plate 11 to retain it in place.

The body 10 is reinforced by the provision of a pluralitv of' longitudinally extending strands of wire or the like as indicated at 13, the strands 13 being embedded in the material of the4 body 10 as shown in Figs. v1 to 7, and which may lie against the-inner wall of the body as shown at 14 in Fig. 8. As shown in detail in Fig. 7, the wire strands 13 extend into the lower edge 'portion or flange 12 of the body. The

strands 13 are bent over with the flange and serve to reinforce it and retain the iiang'l in position against the under side of the bottom plate 11.

The upper edge portion of the body 10` is reinforced by an annular strand 15 em bedded or otherwise suitably located in the body 10, and to which the upper ends of the longitudinal strands 13 are secured. The upper ends of the strands 13 are rolled over to form eyes 16 which encircle the annular strand 15 to form therewith a reinforcing frame for strengthening the same.

The rear wall of the container 10 is provided with spaced apart recesses openingr through the upper edge of the body and extending to a point slightly below the annular strand 15 and within which are adapted to fit tongues 17 depending from the rear edge portion of a cap or closure 18. rThe tongues 17 engage in said recesses and are rolled over or are enlarged and lonitudinally apertured to form eyes receiv- :mg the portions of the strand 15 which extends through the recesses, and the intermediate portion of the body l0 located between the recesses is similarly enierged and receives the strand 15 there through to forin :i reinforcing tongue 19 for supporting the closure 18. The tongues l? turn upon the iront .ii oi' the bodv l0 end the forward J l e crimped or the portion ot' the innige 2O are pressed inwardiy to forni n oss 2l front Waii and n dont 22 in the iizinffe the cap adapted to drop into the sion 2i and to ifriotionniigs heid oiosed.

rlhe nniterini to be probed nj, y le directly Within the body oi the oontniner and no lining or intermediate paci-ing is required es the substance with which the body is impregnated exc-hides nir and inoisture, and the cap 1S, which is :also treated with the moisture und :tir prooil substance, is adapted to tit tight upon the body.

it is of course understood that Various changes and inodiiicntions may be made in the above speoiiicaiiy described embodiment of this invention Without departing from the spirit thereoiI the changes being restricted only bythe scope or' the following ohiiins. A
