G. A. LYON SEPARABLE MULTIPLE UNITBUMPER PACKAGE F iled Opt. 31, 1919 Swen 1" Patented Apr. l7, 1%23.
EEPARABLE BEULIIIPLE UNIT BUMPER PACKAGE.
Application filed October 31, 1919. Serial No. 334,671.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE ALBERT LYON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia. State of Pennsylvania, have made certain new and useful inventions Relating to Separable Multiple Unit Bumper Packages, of which the following is a specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates especially to separable multiple unit packages for shipping strip metallic articles, such as automobile bumpers of the Lyon type having the general construction described and covered bythe Lyon Patents Nos. 1,198,246 of rieptember 12, 1916, and 1,265,836 of May 21,1918; although of course other makes or styles of bumpers may be shipped in this type of package. The package may comprise any desired num ber of units or boxes, some at least of such boxes preferably having ends or sides projecting beyond the outer faces of the cooperating members to which they are nailed or otherwise attached and when the bumpers or generally similar articles are arranged within the units or boxes in assembled or preferably in shipping or disconnected condition and preferably wrapped or protected by windings of paper, etc; the top and bottom of each open sided unit frame or box may be closed by covers of any suitable material, such as paper board, including straw board, paste board or fibre board, or, if desired, of thin veneering or laminated wood. Where as is desirable paper board covers are used, it is advantageous to secure or nail retainer strips of wood over the covers at such places as cooperate with and hold in, the ends or projecting portions of the bumper; and these retainer strips which may extend longitudinally or transversely of each cover, preferably comprise transverse strip retainers nailed across each end of the cover where they can be secured to the side pieces and also intermediate the ends of the box or units substantially in alignment with the transversely extending attaching members of the bumper to hold them in place. Any desired number up to four, six, or so of theseboxes or units may be piled on top of one another and nailed or secured in such assembled position' so as to form a multiple unit package in which the units mutually reenforce and protect each other, as large a shipping package thus being formed as is convenient for a multiple unit package may be divided into two or more packages each of which may contain one or more units or boxes.
In the accompanying drawing showing in a somewhat diagrammatic way an illustrative embodiment of this invention,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view partly in section and showing a multiple unit package composed of four boxes or units; and
Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, parts being shown in section.
Automobile bumpers or buffers of this Lyon type may, as indicated in Fig. 1, comprise two generally similar spring steel strip members, each of which includes an impact receiving member 23 or 24 adapted to extend across the front of the automobile and merging into an end loop to which is connected one of the attaching members 22 of the bumper which are arranged transversely of the impact receiving member in the package andmay be formed with apertured, bent or inclined ends 17 or 18. These resilient steel strip members may for shipping purposes be advantageously wrapped or wound with projecting paper strips and arranged as indicated in Fig. 1 with each attaching member pointing toward the other impact receiving member and adjacent thereto. The attaching devices of the bumper, such as the hook bolts 19, bushings 21 and the cooperating nuts may advantageously be connected to the bumper strips as by bolting the shanks of these hook bolts through the hook bolt apertures in the ends of theattaching members which are formed with bolt holes or slots, such as 29, shown in 2, and the clips or clamping devices 20 may be loosely arranged on the ends of these attaching members between the hook bolts so that they are definitely retained in this position. The
ion
box or packag unit which should fit as closely as, convenient around these heavy metal strip members, Weighing some twenty to thirty pounds or more for each bumper, may comprise wood box sides and ends nailed or secured together in any suitable way preferably so that the ends of one of these sets of members project three-quarters of an inch or so beyond the adjacent outer faces of the other members. As indicated in 1, the box sides 1 and 16 project beyond the outer faces of the box ends 27 to facilitate the connection of the units or boxes. Covers 14,15. of thin sheet protecting material may, be secured to the top and bottom. faces of the. box or unit and for this purpose paper board maybe. used, including straw board, card board or, fibre. board material. Togive the necessary strength and ,reliably. hold the covers in place wood strip reta ners are. preferably secured over each cover at such placesas definitely. hold the metal strip members. in place and prevent their working through the covers. For this purposestrips or slats of wood a halt inch orthree-quartersof an inch or so thick may be nailed for, secured. transversely over the covers-adjacent each end of the box as at i, 5, 7 and 9 of'the top unit or box shown in Figs. 1 and. 2 and also preferably, at intermediat points substantially. in line with the attaching members of the buffer as, at 2, 3, 6 and 8 of this same'b'ox or unit. When these transverse retainer strips are nailed in ,place to the box sides and also ends, it desired, outside of the, box covers which may be preliminarily tacked down or secured in place, the boxv is greatly reentorced against the tendency of the metal strip pieces to workout during shipment or handling while at thesametimethe cost and weight of the package is minimized to the greatest extent consistent with reliability in shipping-and handling.
Any desired number of such boxed bumpers or package units may be piled up one on top of another up to the maximum weight of package desired, dependent of course on the requirements ofthe particular customer, and four, six, or more such bumper unit packages may be piled up as indicated in Fig, 1 and connected or secured together in any suitable way, so that they can be shipped and handled as a unit under which conditions the different units mutually strengthen and protect each other to a very considerable and important extent. while at the same timeno enclosing crate or box is necessary. F or this purposeseverable wood strip connectors, such as 10, 11, 12 and 13, may benailed or otherwisesecured to each of the units at any convenient points and illustrated these strip connectors may be nailed into the angleformed by theproject ing ends-of the box sides and the adjacent outer faces of the box ends so that considerable additional strength is thusgiven to each unit at this point of juncture as Well as firmly and reliably connecting the difierent units to form a multiple unitbumper package. Such a multiple unit package may after shipment be divided or separated into two or more packages by sawing through or otherwise severing the strip connectors at the desired points as at the line of severance 25 shown in Fig. 1 whichinay for this purpose be marked, creased or weakened in some cases so that the connectors may be readily cut through as by a saw 26 indicated in dotted lines, and by this very simple op-,, eration several. packages are formed each.
containing one or any other desiredpnumber 0t bumpers whichare still boxediand ready for such further shipment as may benecessary. This is of course a great convenience for jobbers and other distributors to whom the large multiple unit bumper; packages may be shipped and who canthen cutor divide these packages. intosmaller ones for further shipment to,v their. customers, thus avoidingthe very great annoyance andexpense which is necessary to recrate such bumpers when they are shipped merely in paste board boxes enclosed in wood packing cases, especially since the heavy metal strip parts have a tendency to rapidly cut through and injure the paste board boxesunless they are very carefully handled.
This invention has been described inconnection with a number of illustrativeforms, proportions, parts, units, articles, 'arra ngements and methods of preparation and use, to th details of whichgdisclosure the inyention isnot of course to be limitechsincewhat,
