Improvement in Egg-Carriers.
*Patented Oct. 1, 187 2.
d Q Cifi? JOHN L. STEVENS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN EGG-CARRIERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 131,911, dated October 1,1872.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, JOHN L. STEVENS, of
" Chicago, in the county of Cook and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg-Carriers and do hereby declare that the following is a full,
clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement ofinterior double partitions of egg-carriers, and also in the device for securing the lid or cover to the same, all as hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my eggcarrier with the lid removed Fig. 2 shows the mode of constructing the interior partitions; and Fig. 3 shows the device for fastening the lid. a I
A represents a box of anysuitable dimen sions, and B B are the partitions within the same. These partitions are made of tolerable stifi paper, out in the manner shown in Fig. 2-that is, in strips of suitable width, those running one way having slits a a cut from the upper edge downward, and those running \across the former having corresponding slits ing a large space and two slits. When these strips are put together they form square pockets for the reception, each, of one egg, and it will be seen that the partitions between the eggs are double, so that one eggwill not press against another, but have a yielding bearing on all sides. The first partition on every side is a short distance from the inside of the box, so that the eggs will not press against the same. The partitions thus 'put together form a frame-work which is placed in the bottom of the box A, and when filled with eggs a horizontal paper partition, 0, is laid on top; then another frame-work and another partition, and so on till the whole box is filled. The lid or cover D is held by'means of two hooks, b b, screwed into opposite edges of the box, the lid having corresponding slots in two opposite edges. One of the hooks b may be stationary across the slot in the lid, and the other to be turned so as to come on a line with the other slot, allowing the lid to be taken off or put on. When put on, this hook is also turned across the slot.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The paper strips B B, provided with slits 0b a, as shown and described, to form double partitions between the pockets of an egg-carrier, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 21st day of September, 1872.
JOHN L. STEVENS.
