MEANS FOR CRATING PLASTER-BOARD AND THE LIKE.
Patented Oct. 5, 1920.
Application filed January 22, 1919. Serial No. 272,543.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN H. Now, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Grating Plaster-Board and the like, of which the following isa descriptiqn In the handling "and transportation of such materials as plaster board, constructed of gypsum or analogous material, it has been found necessary to crate the board in order to protect it from accidental injury. The custom usually employed has been to place a number of said sheets or boards one upon the other with the edges substantially in registry with one another, and practically box the edges in. That is, a strip is employed extending around the edges and covering the same, and then upon each flat surface of the board strips are placed which are secured to the edge strips mentioned. This is a comparatively expensive method, using an unnecessary quantity of material which is expensive, and taking considerable time to roperly crate the board. My in ventionas for its object to simplify the method of crating board, resulting in substantial economy in both time and material, and accomplishing the desired object in a thoroughly satisfactory manner. To this end my invention consists in' the novel method of and means for crating such sheets of material.
In the drawings wherein like indicating characters indicate like or corresponding 5 parts,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plurality of sheets of plaster board era-ted ready for transportation or handling by my improved method; v
Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of-Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a section substantially on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is a section similar to Fig. 3 illustrating further improved means for thls purpose.
In the drawings, 1 indicates the top board of three sheets of plaster board placed one upon the other with the edges substantially in registry with one another. 2 are strips of suitablematerial upon which the piled boards are placed in such a manner that the strip 2 projects beyond the side edges 3 of torn off. Directly above the strips portions 8 which extend over .6 and 7 firm y and reliably resting upon t ing elements 5.
-or surface without the edges touching, and
Without the end strips being accidentally 2, resting upon the upper surface of the board 1, are mating strips 4-4, likewise extending slightly beyond the edges of the boaro. These two strips 2 and 4 are secured together and to the board in any desired manner, preferably by ordinary nails 5 driven through the strips 4 and the intervening sheets of plaster board into the strips 2. The nails are preferably well set down so that the heads will not project to interfere or catch when the crates are piled one upon another. The nails are preferably only of such length as to extend securely into the strips 2, and not extend farther. I prefer to employ this method rather than permit the nails to extend through and clench the same, as some diflicultyv may be met in removing the nails and 'uncratin the board. At the ends of the crated boar s, extending between the strips 2, are similar strips 6, preferably also extending beyond the edges of the board, as stated, While upon the upper surface of the board are strips 7- 7 mating the strips 6, and in both cases preferably extending between the side strips for the reason stated.
In the form shown in Fi 4, the strips 6 and 7, as shown,
are provided with offset and partially cover the edges of the board. This construction insures the proper rojection of the protecting strips beyond t e edge of the board, and gives an increased sliding surface when the crate is pushed along the o fiat surface ofthe boards torwhich t ey are firmly secured by the attaching of'the In practice I have found it preferable to or. The prot j ections 8 may be only sufiicient to insure the securuse a heayier strip for one of the protecting strips, for illustration, the strips 2 and 6, and such material as will firmly hold a nail. I have secured very satisfactory results with What is termed hard wood strips for this purpose. I also prefer to employ strips of what is termed soft wood for the strips 4 and 7, as the nail readily passes through them, and the head of the nail readily sets down into or below the surface of the strip so as not to catch when the crates are piled one upon another. Any preferred tool or implement for withdrawing nails may be effectivelyemployed in removing the nails and releasing the boards from the crate.
While I prefer to secure and crate a plurality of sheets as stated, for strength of and economy in crating, it is obvious that single sheets may be so crated with equally satisfactory results, so far as security 18 concerned.
Having thus described my invention, it is obvious that various immaterial modifications may be made in the same without departing from the spirit of my invention; hence I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the exact form, construction, arrangement and combination of parts herein shown and described, or uses mentioned.
\Vhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A crate of plaster board, comprising one or more sheets of plaster board provided with suitable material arranged on each face thereof, extending about the edges and projecting slightly beyond the same to protect the board, with securing means passing throughthe material along different edges of the board and thence through the board and engaging the material on the opposite face of the board.
2. A crate of plasterboard or the like consisting of a plurality of said boards occupying a superposed relation, strips of suit able material placedabout the edges of said boards on each face thereof and projecting slightly beyond the edges of the boards, and securing means passing through the boards and engaging the strips on the opposite faces of the latter to fasten them together.
A crate of plaster board or the like consisting of a plurality of said boards occupying a superposed relation, strips of suitable material placed about the edges of said boards on each face thereof and projecting slightly beyond the edges of the boards, the stripping on one face of the boards being of relatively soft material and the stripping on the opposite face thereof being of relatively hard material, and securing means such as nails passing through the board from the relatively soft stripping and engaging in said relatively hard stripping, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two sub scribing witnesses.
