THOMAS A. ARNOLD, OF CAMBRIDGE, NEW YORK.
BOX FASTENER.
Application filed October 18, 1921. Serial No. 507,511.
To all whom it omty concern:
, Be it known .that I, THOMAS A. ARNOLD, a citizen of the United. States, residing at Cambridge, in the county of-Washington and State of New York, have invented certa-in'new and useful Improvements in Box Fasteners, of which the following is a specification. r
This invention relates to locking devices especially intended forsecuring the top or hinged lid of a box or crate, although it may be applied to otheruses. The object of the invention is to provide a fastening device which may be attached to the top edge of a box with a single nail or screw upon which the device may pivot and when the coveris applied the fastening device may be swung to embrace its edge and be secured by a single nail or screw. 1
In the following detailed description, I I shall refer to the accompanying drawings inwhich-Figure 1 "is a perspective view of a box or crate having the cover secure means of my fastening devicesyFig. 2/ is a fragmentary perspective view showing the fastener swung outwardly to permit the cover or lid to be closed; Fig. 3 is a frag mentary top plan view of a box cover with the'fastener in locked position; and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the same.
. The fastening device is formed of sheet metal stamped or pressed into a channeL' shaped member 5, andzhaving the bottom orbase portion projectingfrom oneend to form a flange 6, whichis perforated toreoeive a screw 7 by which it is pivotallysecured to thejtop edge ofthe box. 7 I
The top and bottom flanges of. the channel member 5 are spaced apart a distance 40 sufiicient to permit-the device to slide over the edge of the box cover, preferably with rather a close fit. One or more of the fastening devices are attached to opposite edges'of the box or crate. When the. cover consists of two-hinged portions as illustrated at 8 and 9 in Fig. 1, the fasteners are placed in alinement with. the meeting edges of the fastening devices are swun'garound parallel with the edge of the-box so that the edge of the cover fits into the channel, the; flanges overlap ing the upper and lower faces of the cover. Y inserting a single nail or screw 10 through a hole 12 in the upper flange of each device, the cover.willbe securely locked. The end 5 is out under at an oblique angle to form an overhanging portion to thereby permitthe use of .a long nail or screw 10' which will extend below the fastening device and penetrate the side of the box if desiredp It will be observed that the side walls of the fastening devices brace the cover against lateral thrusts while the top and bottom flanges clamp the cover securely to the edge of the box. v v
The advantages derived'from the use of my box fastenenwill. be appreciated especially by containers which are to be returned. The
lids-or covers are not marred or'inj'ured bythe fasteners, while the'closing'and opening operations are reduced toa minimum.v
.I claim comprising a channel-shaped member having the lower base. flange extended at one.
end to form an attaching means, the end of portion, said flange and said overhanging portion being provided with perforations to receive suitable locking means.
In testimony whereof aflix' my signature.
I M ARNOLD.
