SQWTAAEEATES FA lfilZhlT @FFMZFL CHARLES D. OTTO, OF BROOKLYN. NEW YORK.
BINDER FOR PACKING CASES.
Application filed June 15, 1921.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1 CHARLES D. OTTO, a citizen of the United gtates, and resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Binders for Packing Cases, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to binders for packing cases, having reference particularly to an improved safety binder.
Binders of this character have generally consisted of a sheet metal strip or tie which extends entirely around the packing case and is nailed or sealed thereto in such so cure manner as to require fracturing thereof before the case can be opened by the removal of its lid, the binder acting as a seal to prevent surreptitious or illicit opening of the packing case while in transit. When the lids of packing cases comprise a plurality of parallel strips, or when the side walls of the case are built up of strips, it has been found that a strip or section of the case can be removed and returned without fracturing the binder, whereby thieves may partly open a case, remove a portion of its contents and reclose it without leaving any visible markings to indicate that the case has been tampered with.
The principal object of my invention is to provide means whereby evidences of such tampering may be automatically registered and indicated and a consignee, upon receipt of the case, may tell at a glance whether or not the case has been tampered with while in transit, or after it has left the jurisdiction. of the consignor.
ln carrying out my invention. 1 provide a binding strip containing throughout its length concealed means for printing a continuous line, or a plurality of parallel lines around a packing case, said lines registering at the joints of the case sections, whereby should a section be removed and replaced in a position slightly at variance from its original position the lines thereon will not register with the lines on the adjacent sections. The device comprises a grooved strip of sheet metal, absorbent material, indelible ink contained in said absorbent material, and means for protecting the absorbent ma terial from atmospheric influences, all as hereinafter fully described and specifically set forth in the appended claims.
ln the accompanying drawings forming Serial No. 477,622.
part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a length of binding strip illustrating one embodiment of my improvement;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a packing case having my improved strip connected thereto and showing one section of the case partly withdrawn;
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view, drawn on an enlarged scale, and taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4; is a similar cross sectional view illustrating a modification of construction; and
Fig. 5 is a similar view illustrating a further modification.
In the drawings, 2 indicates a sheet metal strip of any adaptable length having longitudinal obliquely directed side flanges :l which are respectively provided with a sharp beveled edge 4: adapted to be driven into the'surface of a packing case, as hereinafter described. The space between the flanges 3 constitutes a dovetailed groove 5 within which is fixed a strip of flexible absorbent material 6, as felt or analogous material, which is adapted for saturation with an indelible substance, as fluid ink, whereby when the strip is pressed into contact with a packing case or other surface an indelible line is printed thereon. The absorbent strip may also contain perforations 7, constituting the name of the consignor of goods contained within the packing case, whereby said name may be stenciled on the case together with the said printed line, or means for printing other indicating data may be incorporated if desirable.
Instead. of having a single groove for containing a single strip of absorbent material, the binder may embody a plurality of dovetailed grooves 8 and relatively narrow absorbent strips 6, see Fig. 4; of the drawings; or the binder and its grooves may have sides extended at right angles, as shown at 9, Fig. 5 of the drawings. These constructions provide means for printing relatively narrow parallel lines which would be difficult to place back into perfect register should a section of the casing be removed and re placed.
In the operation and use of the invention, I employ a liquid coloring substance of consistency adapted to thoroughly saturate the absorbent material. thus when the binding strip is pass-ed over and around a packing case and nailed to its surface an indelible line will be printed thereon, a sufiicient quantity of such coloring substance being contained in the absorbent material to provide a reserve supply, whereby should a packing case section, as 10, Fig. 2 of the drawings, be withdrawn, or partly withdrawn, the coloring substance will be automatically smeared over the surface of the dis placed section adjacent to the printed line,
1, as n a y 1%; thus ear y. h in that the section 10 has been moved after the binding strip was placed. 7 It is manitest that owing to the fact that the sharp beveled edges of the s ides ot the binder are driven into the surface of the packing case the coloring material is so, protected that it will not evaporate, whereby the absorbent material is maintained constantly in. a moistened condition for the. purpose of distributing its coloring matter over the packing case section being tampered with.
The binder is fixed to the packing case by means of a suitable number. of nails 13, which may, be driven through, the centre, as shown in Figures 3 and; 5, or they may be driven through the, edge parts. oi} thebinder as shown in Fig. 4. The formation and number of the grooves tor containing the absorbent material may be varied in accord ance with requirements, depending upon the nature of the indicia to be printed, I therefore, do not confine myself to the specific,
examples of my improvement as herein shown and described, as under the spirit of my invention I believe that I am entitled to employ such variations of minor detail as may rightly fall Within the scope of the. appended claims. i i
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A binder tor. packing cases, comprising a strip having concealed means for. printing indicia on a packing case.
2. A binder for packing cases, comprising a longitudinally channeled strip, and a filling of absorbent material on the under side of said strip, said absorbent material containing indelible coloring matter for printing indicia on a packing case.
3. A binder for packing cases, comprising a sheet metal strip having a longitudinal channel throughout its length, and a filling of absorbent material fixed within said channel, and means for preventing admission of air to. said absorbent material when the strip is fixed to a packing case, said absorbent material adapted for containing indelible coloring, substance for printing indicia on a packing case.
' 4. In a binder for packing cases, the combination, with a strip or sheet metal having a longitudinal channel, of a filling of absorbent material fixed within said; channel, said absorbent materialtherefor-contain ing liquid ink for printing a continuous line on a packing case.
51in a binder forpacking cases, the combination of a channeled strip of sheet metal having longitudinal sides providedf respectively with a sharp beveled edge, and flexible. absorbent material constituting a means for containing ink for printing indicia on a packing case surface, said beveled edges; adapted to be driven into the surface of the packing case for the purpose of preventing access of air to said absorbent material when the binder is fastened to the packing case. i
6. binder of the class described, comprising channel ed strip, means for holding coloring substance, and means for printing concealed indic'ia on thesurface of-a packing case, therefor-said coloring substance adapted to be spread when parts'of the packing case are moved transversely in relation to the strip. 3
