CARRIER FOR EGGS AND THE LIKE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 25, 1919,.
Application filed June 20, 1916. Serial No. 104,746.
This invention relates to a carrier foreggs, and other fragile objects such as incandescent lamps and the like, one of the ob- .jects of the invention being to provide a cellular filling for boxes or other forms of containers, the cells being formed of interfitting partition strips having opposed walls so shaped as to receive and support opposed portions of objects placed in the cells additional means being employed for closmg the ends of the cells and at the same timecush ioning the contained objects should they become displaced from their normal positions.
Another object is to provide a carrier which will hold the maximum number of eggs or the like suspended in the minimum space, the structure being equally useful for the largest freight or express shipment as for a parcel post carrier.
A further object is to provide a carrier all parts of which can be readily cut from cardboard or like material and which carrier is cheap to manufacture and afiords ample protection to the contents thereof, thus rendeparting from the spirit of the invention.
dering the structure particularly useful when shipping articles by parcel post.
With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown. V
In said drawings Figure 1 is a horizontal section through a portion of a carrier embodying the present improvements, eggs being shown in position within the cells.
Fig. 2 is a section on line A-B Fig. 1, eggs being shown in certain of the cells.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a portion of one of the partitions designed to be placed between the cellular trays of the carrier.
Fig. 42 is a horizontal section through a portion of a tray and showing a modified form of cushioning partition to be used in lieuof the partition shown in Fig. 3.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates parallel partition strips intersecting substantially parallel partition strips 2 disposed at right angles thereto, the strips 1 and 2 cooperating to form article receiving cells 3 and extending around spaced cells 4. The spacing cells permit the walls of the cells 8 to yield outwardly and thus cushion thecontents of the cells when the carrier is subjected to rough handling. The partition strips 2 are provided with openings 5 so that each cell 3 will have two diametrically opposed openings. The distance across each cell and between the strips 2 is preferably slightly less than the diameter of the object to be held so that, when said object is placed in the cell 3, as indicated at 6, it will cause the strips 2 to bend outwardly and will also cause the opposed side portions of the contained object to project into openings 5. The walls of these openings will thus press yieldingly against the. object 6, and hold said object centered within the cell 3.
The intersecting strips 1 and 2 form cellular trays adapted to be placed one above the other in a box or other form of container, a portion of which has been shown at 7 and a partition 8 may be disposed between adjoining trays. This partition, a portion of which has been shown in Fig. 3, is preferably formed of a single sheet of cardboard having groups of incisions so disposed that one group will be located in line with the longitudinal center of each cell. In each group of incisions are provided opposed arcuate slits 9 from the ends of which extend parallel slits 10 so that a substantially cirioning disk 11. When an article is held within a cell by the apertured walls or strips 2, the ends of the article will not ordinarily engage cushioning disks 11. However,
should the article become displaced within the cell because of rough handling, one end thereof would come against the adjacent cushioning disk 11 which would yield and thus cushion the object and prevent it from breaking. here the cells are used for.
holding incandescent lamps, the pointed tips usually provided at the ends of the lamps can be held within the cushioning "disks 11 where the slits 1% cross.
Whereonly one tray is to be used in a 7 container, 11; 1s not always desirous to use a partition Sat the top and bottom'thereof. Instead slots 15 are formed in each strip 2 above and below the openings 5 and these slots are adapted to receive partition strips 16 extending transversely of the'tray and each of which has groups of incisions 17 such as shown in Fig. 3, one group being located in line with the center of each cell. Importance is attached to the fact that the carrying or holding cells are grouped about I the spacing cells 4: as it is thusjpossible to I ship about twice as many eggs in the same space, as can be done with the ordinary cellular carrier wherein the cspaclng cells are .extcndedaround the holding cells.
lVhat is claimed is A carrier of the class described including a cellular structure for holdingeggs, and a partition closing one end 01' each egg 1'ece1ving cell,rsaid partition having slits forming egg supporting strips provided with substantially circular portions each located at the center of the end of a cell, there being crossed slits in'said portion forming segmental egg supporting flaps, there being also radial slits within the partition and eX--' tending outwardly from said circular poitlon to form supplemental cushioning and
