CARL CLAUS, 0F PHILADELHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
METALLIC TOTE-BOX.
Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 24, 1920.
Application mea umn as, 191s. serial 11a-224,400.
'To all whom it may concern.'
-tain new and useful Improvements 1n Metallic Tote-Boxes, whereof the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyin drawings.
Theinventlon relates more particularly to A 'a box of the above character which is adapted to store heavy metallic parts, such as bolts and the like.
An object of the invention i's to provide a tote box of the above character, having downwardly projecting supporting domes on which the box may be supported and moved about.
A further object of the invention is to provide a tote box having a top for closing in part or in whole the tote box, which top is provided with a series of. recesses similarlydisposed and shaped to the supporting domes, whereby one tote box may be placed on another; and held from movement thereon, so as to facilitate the stacking of the tote boxes.
A still further object of the invention is to provide 'a tote box having sides, ends and al top with an opening formed in part in the top and in part in the front end, which opening extends only partway across the box, so as to provide supporting ledges at each side of the box to facilitate the stacking of the tote boxes one on another.
These and other objects will in part be A obvious and will in part be hereinafter more fully disclosed.
In the drawings which show by Way of illustration one embodiment of the invention, Figure I, is a perspective view showin a tote box embodying my improvements.
idg.. II, is a vertical sectional view through two of my improved tote boxes, one supported by the other.
My improved tote box is preferablyl formed of metal and consists of a bottom portion 1, side portions 2, and 3, a front end portion 4, arear end portion 5, and a top 6. The sides and ends and also the top and bottom as shown in the drawings, are all formed inte al. The box is formed of sheet metal and t e meeting edges are joined by welding, thus forming an integral structure. It will be understood, of course, that the metal parts may be otherwise joined, the essential feature bein be rigidly connected toget er so as to form a single ri 'd structure. In the bottom are, as herein s own, six downwardly projecting domes indicated at 7. These ydomes are similarly shaped and so located as that they form a support for the tote box. My improved tote box is especially adapted for storing heavy metal parts, such as metal bolts. and the like, and, therefore, the tote box is very heavy and not easily handled. By these supportin domes, however the box may be readily s id in and out on shelvf ing, or vplaced on a counter without injuring the'parts which support the boxes. The front end 4, is cut away at its upper portion and the top 6, is cut away at the front part thereof to form an opening 8. This opening being formed in part in the front end portion and in part in the top, gives .ready access to the box for the filling of the so as to receive the supportindomes 7, as.
clearly shown in Fig. II, o e drawings. The extreme front edge of the top is bent back as at 10, to reinforce the metal edge at this portion of the top. The extreme upper edge of the front 4, is bent down as at 11, to reinforce said front. The front of the box is also provided with a suitable label holder 12, and with a handle 13.- The opening 8, does not extend entirely across the box, so that there are supporting ledges 14, and 15, which extend to the front end of the box, and these supporting ledges are .sustained respectively by the metal parts 16, and 17, at the front end of the box. When one box is placed on another, it rests in part on the top 6, and in part on these supporting ledges 14, and 15.l This makesV a very firm andv durable support, so that boxes with metal parts stored therein @may be heavy placed one on top of the other. r""he supportin domes extending into recesses prevent t e boxes from sliding one on the other, as above noted.
It will be obvious the details of` construction ma be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
that minor changes in "and bottom, said bottom .from the metal thereof, sald domes being similar in shape and size and disposed so as to form a sup orting means for the totebox, said box aving a top with recesses formed therein disposed so as to receive the supporting domes of a tote box placed .on top thereof.
2. In a metal tote boxcomprisin sides, ends, a bottom and a top, one of sald ends and the adjacent portion of the top being cut away to form an opening forentrance to the box, said o ening terminating short of the sides of the ox so as to form at each side thereof Supporting ledges extending to the front end of the box.
3. A metal tote box comprising sides, ends,
a bottom and a top formed of sheet metal united so as to provide an integral structure, said top at the forward end. thereof and said front end at the upper portion thereof being cut away to form an opening in the box, such opening terminating short of the sides of the box, so as to form supporting ledges, said box having downwardly pro]ecting domes formed in the bottom thereof, and correspondingly and similarl shaped recesses in the top thereof, so t at the domes of one box may nested 'within the recesses in another box.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this twentieth dayof March, 1918.
