BOX-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
, Patented Apr. 26, 1921.
Application filed January 28, 1920. Serial No. 354,687.
To all/whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER C. OKANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Durham, in the county of Stafford and State of New Hampshire, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Box-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The'object, generally, is to provide an improved holder for a box of shoe polish or paste or other material that is diflicult to open and close or likely to soil the hands when the box is used, the special object being to provide a construction that can be economically manufactured, easily applied and effective in operation. Other objects will appear from the following description.
The invention is embodied in the example herein shown and described and the features of novelty being finally claimed.
In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a top plan view showing the device applied to an ordinary blacking box and lid.
Fig. 2 is an edge view showing the device as it appears with the box closed.
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the device with the box opened.
Fig. 4t is a cross section on the line 13 IV Fig. 2.
In the views 5 designates the box and 5 the lid or cover therefor. The holder for the lid consists of a frame formed of two flexible strips, preferably of sheet metal, bent near their middles to form substantially semi-circular portions 6 and 6 to embrace the opposite sides of the rim of the lid, portions 7 and 7 lapped upon each other and riveted together and perforated downwardly offset hinging portions 8 and 8 spaced from each other to receive the hinging portion of the box holder, and parallelly extending, but somewhat separated, handle portions 9 and 9 The portions 9 and 9 forming the handle are provided with thumb screw 10 and nut 11 to pinch the portions 6 and 6 upon the rim of the lid.
The holder for the box is a similarly formed frame also preferably of two strips of flexible sheet metal, that is to say it has rim embracing portions 12 and 12 having embracing portions is insured.
portions 13 and 13 lapped and riveted together and terminating in upwardly offset hinging portions 14 and 14 to fit between the portions 8 and 8 and adapted to be hinged thereto by means of a headed pin 15. The pin holes in the portions 8 and 8 are slotted so as to allow for a little play of the lid holder at the hinging point and therefore the bringing of the lid into parallelism with the box and promotion of the closing operation. The rim embracing portions 12 and 12 are also provided with parallelly extending handle portions as shown at 16 and "16 the same being also provided with a thumb screw and nut like that shown at 10 and 11 for the purpose of binding the embracing portions 12 and 12 upon the rim of the box.
In practice the holder is applied to the new box before the removal of the lid by placing the said rim embracing portions in proper position upon the respective parts and turning the thumb screws until sufficient contact is had to permit the removal of the lid from the box by the separation of the frame upon the hinge at 15.
Because of the flexible material of which this holder is formed an extensive contact between the rims and their respective rim Further the holder is adapted to boxes of somewhat varying sizes.
What I claim is:
1. A holder for a box and its lid substan tially as described, comprising, in combination, two frames hinged together, said frames each having flexible rim-embracing portions and adjustable means connecting the rim engaging portions whereby said engaging portions can be drawn with a regulated pressure upon the rim.
2. A holder for a box and its lid, substantially as described. comprising, in combination, two frames having a hinging means the parts of which are laterally shiftable with relation to each other, said frames each having flexible rim-embracing portions and means for regulating the pressure of said rim-embracing portions upon the rim.
