UNITED STATES 1,451,760 PATENT OFFICE.
DAVID HIRAIVI BUCKS, OF LA FAYETTE, OHIO.
SAFETY CHICK BOX.
Application filed July 6,
1 all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, DAVID H. BUOKSL a citizen of the United States, residing at La Fayette, in the county of Allen and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Safety Chick Box, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has reference to shipping boxes especially designed for shipping live chicks or the like, the primary object of the invention being to provide a box whereby the interior thereof will be properly ventilated to insure against the chicks or fowls being shipped, smothering in hot weather.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for preventing the direct draft on the chicks, but at the same time allow suflicient air for proper ventilation.
lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a shipping box constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view thereof, a portion of the inner cover being broken away.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a plan view of the box.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the device embodies an outer section 5 and an inner section 6. the sections being box-like in formation the outer section having a cover 12.
Secured within the outer section are suitable spacing blocks 7 which are disposed adjacent to the respective corners thereof, which blocks are designed to support the inner section 6 and hold the same in spaced relation with the bottom of the outer section 6 and provide a passageway between the sections.
Partitioning members 8 divide the inner section into a plurality of compartments, the floor thereof being provided with openings 9 to admit air to the various compartments. A central opening is formed in the inner section, which central opening is designed to 1922. Serial No. 573,066.
receive one end of the tubular member 10 which is also formed with perforations 11 providing communication between the interior of the tubular member and the respective compartments.
This tubular member extends through the bottom of the inner section and has its lower end provided with suitable openings to adinit air to the tubular member where the air passes upwardly and into the compartments. A cover 12 is designed to close the b0); section, the same being shown as fitted over the walls of the outer section 5 and provided with a central opening to allow the tubular member 10 to extend upwardly therethrough, the upper end terminating at a. point above the cover 12 as clearly shown by Figure 1 of the drawings.
The tubular member 10 may be closed as by means of the cover 13, so that in winter the warmth of the chicks within the various compartments may be retained in the box to prevent the chilling of the chicks.
In exceptionally cold weather it may be found desirable to close the openings 9 to prevent air from entering the compartments therethrough, and to this end a cover such as indicated at 1 L may be positioned in the inner section to close the openings 9.
The walls of the outer section are provided with openings 15 which admit air between the sections where the same may pass into the inner section and into the compartments as described. it being understood that the inner section is of a construction to be supported in spaced relation with the outer section as shown by Figure 3 of the drawmgs.
The tubular member 1.0 is also formed with openings 16 to provide communication between the interior of the device and the atmosphere. It might be further stated that the tubular member 10 is formed with slotted portions, to receive the partitioning members 8 which cross each other at a point substantially centrally of the box, the tubular memher acting as a support for holding the partitioning members in their vertical positions.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. A. shipping box of the class described comprising an inner section and an outer section, the inner section being supported in spaced relation with the outer section to provide a passageway around the inner section,
said inner section having openings to protil) vide communication between the inner section and passageway, a tubular member in the inner section and extending through the bottom thereof, partitioning members Within the inner section and dividing the same into compartments, means for closing the openings in the bottom of the inner section, and a cover for the tubular member.
2. A shipping box of the class described comprising an inner section and an outer section, the inner section having its Walls disposed in spaced relation with the outer section. to provide an air passageway, partitioning members in the inner section, a tubular member having slotted portions, said slotted portions adapted to accommodate portions of the partitioning members to se cure the tubular member into position, the ends of the tubular member being spaced from the bottom of the inner section, said tubular member having openings providing commnnication between the inner section and tubular member, a cover for the outer section and a cover for the tubular member.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
