Description

JOHN L. STEVENS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN EGG-CARRIERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 134,495, dated December 31, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN L. STEVENS, of New York, in the county of New York and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in E gg-Garriers; 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. V
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the interior structure forming the partitions of an eggcarrier, as will be 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,referringto the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my eggcarrier, the box or case being broken open to show the interior structure; and Fig. 2 shows the various pieces, detached, of which the interior structure is composed.
A represents a box or case of any suitable dimensions, provided on the inside with compartments or pockets for the reception of the eggs. These compartment-s or pockets are formed by placing pieces 0 G and B B, of pasteboard, at right angles with each other in the following manner: The pieces B B have in their upper and lower edges slits a a cut perpendicularly, extending about one-fourth of the width of the piece. These slits should be as wide as the thickness of the pasteboard, and are a suitable distance apart. The pieces 0 G are only half as wide as the pieces B B, and
have similar and corresponding slits b I) cut in one edge only. A series of the pieces 0 are placed in a series of the pieces B from the bottom edge upward, and another series of the pieces 0 are placed in the same pieces B from the upper edge downward, the cut edges of the pieces (J (J meeting in the center of the pieces B B. This forms a number of compartments or pockets, each to receive an egg. The adjoining two of the pieces 0 G are then connected together by means of one or more strips, D, pasted across them as shown, thus uniting the whole and formin g a structure which can be readily put in and taken out of the box without falling to pieces. Anynumber of these structures may be placed one on top of the other in the box, with pasteboard, E, between the structures to form the bottom of the various compartments or pockets.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The combination of a series of pieces, B B, having slots 0. a in their upper and lower edges, and two series of pieces, 0 0, having slots 1; b in one edge only, the said pieces being interlaced, as described, and the adjoining pieces 0 connected by one or more strips, D, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of December, 1872.
JOHN L. STEVENS.
