BOX.

Application filed December 30, 1921. Serial No. 525,942.

I and is particularly adapted for cigar boxes which are made of heavy cardboard and which provide stability to the box to enable it to withstand the pressure of cigars being packed and pressed therein, and also provides a box that will withstandany warping due to the moisture in a humidor and-the subse uent drying when the boxis remove there om.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure- 1 is a perspective view of the box with the-lid open, the box being illustrated without"ornamental covering and similarornamentation that-is put on the finished box. Figure '2 is a detail sectional view showing the juncture of the bottom of the box and onelof. the wings that form the side 'walls. thereof be: fore they are bent or folded, Figure '3 --is an enlargedsection taken-on line. 3-3jin Figure 1, and Figure 4 is an enlarged sectionof plane indicated by the line 44 in Figure 1.-.

The body portion of the box 'is' made of heavy cardboard, and in which the bottom 10 is integral with the front wall 11 and the which I will call side walls, and 1 rear wall 12, the

end walls

13 and 14, these side walls and end walls being bent up after the'places that indicate their juncture have been slitted or cut, as at 15 in Figure 2, this cut extending up from the bottom and extending almost through the material, these folded walls then being subjected to vertical pressure so as to place them down edgewise alongside of the bottom 10, as shownin Figure 4. A bottom sheet 16 is'thenpasted over its entire surface to thebottom-face of the bottom 10 and the bottom edges of'the marginal walls, thus resisting any tendency of the bottom 10 to spring out again from between the side walls.

. The material is cut so that" the grain of the fibre, indicated by surface'shading in Figure 1, is longitudinal of the box, but this disposition of the fibre on the end walls 13 and '14 is vertical, so that outward pressure.

on these walls, if they hold at the corners. splits or breaks the end walls easily, but this is overcome by pasting a sheet of slightly thinner cardboard 17 on the outer face 0 each end wall and from the end walls so as of the front wall 11 and the back wall 12, the fibre in the sheet 17 being at an angle, preferably a right angle, to the grain or direction of the and 14.

I find that a box made in this way is Stato engage the ends v ble and less apt to break than the expensive old type of wooden box under the lateral pressure to which they are subjectedwhen- 70' cigars are pressed down in the box, as is now commonly done in packing cigars.

The projecting portions 18 of the sheet 17' it any inward movement of the end walls 13 and '14, since these sheets pasted tothe outer faces of An inner sheet 19 is usually front wall on its inner face, from the end sufliciently so that the ends of the end walls-abut against the sheet 19, as will be seen from Figure-1; r

The lid 20 is-made of a central sheet'21f. which is of relatively heavy material, and

flanking sheets

22 and 23 which are pasted to the, inner and outer sheet 21, the lidbeing attached tothe back wall 12 by any suitable means, such as the strip of fabric 24. This formof lid'insures a constant closure of the lidv on-the box all around, in contrast to the warping 90 that takes place in a wooden lid or a sin le sheet of cardboard forming a lid, especiaiy when. subjected to the alternate moisture and drying when the box is in or has been removed from a 'humidor,

climatic conditions.

remains level, and the lid remains closed I05 at all points around its edges.

This form of lid also lends itself to holding a wooden. strip 25 that isv inserted in extension of the main sheet 21 of the lidand held by having it project grain in the end walls 13 17 are securely '15 and is inset ends of the 8 faces of the central or under varying under moisture orheat, 1 0

readily the flanking sheets 22 which a'brad can be block 26 placed in the edge of the front and 23, and through driveninto a wooden recess 27 in the outer wall 11.

I claim:

a 1. A 'box comprising a body portion made of one piece of heavy cardboard inwhich the side and end walls are bent up from the bottom portion, the front and back walls bearing on the-ends of the end walls, and

sheets secured to the end walls and projectin ltso engage the ends of the front and back wa 2. A box comprising a body portion made of one piece of heavy cardboard in which the side and end walls are bent up from the bottom portion, the front and back walls bearing on the ends of the end walls, sheets secured to the end walls and projecting to engage the ends of the front and back walls, and a sheet on the inside face of the front wall and with its ends engaging the inside faces of the end walls.

3. A box comprising a body portion made of one piece of heavy cardboard in which the side and end walls are bent up from the bottom portion, the front and back walls bearing on the ends of the end walls, sheets seemed to the end walls and projecting to engage the ends of the front and back walls, a sheet on the inside face of the front wall and with its ends engaging the inside faces of the end walls, the bottom being forced in between all the walls, and a retaining sheet on the outside of the bottom and secured to the bottom edges of the side and end walls.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereto set my hand, this 28th day of December, 1921.
