ROWLAND HUNT, 0F EONDON, ENGLAND.
BOX OB GABTON FOB HOLDING ELECTRIC LAMPS AND OTHER FRLGILE ARTICLES.
' Application filed September as, me. Serial No. seam.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Bowman HUNT, a British subject, residing at 130 Shacklewell Lane, Hackney, London, E. 8., En land, have invented certain new and usefu Imgrovements in a Box or Carton for Holding lectri Lamps and Other Fragile Articles, of Whic the following is a specification such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a box or carton for electric lamps or other fragile articles and has more particularly to do with the means for supporting the lamp in the carton in such a manner that it is safely protected and the ends of the lamp are substantially centred in the carton and preferabl held within the ends thereof so as not to lie liable to fracture.
Cartons of this t pe are well known and have been made 0 rectangular form with extensions of the side turned inwardly to form the supports for the lamp but hitherto these turned in extensions have separate flags on the sides.
ccording to my invention that end of the box WlllCh is to receive the glass end of the lam is made with unseparated extensions o the sides of the box said unseparated extensions being so creased and bent that they are capable of being turned inwardly to form a support for the lamp. The method of bending is such that a strong but resilient support is provided for the lamp.
The outer edges of the extensions may be of any desired shape and the corners where the extensions join the sides may be cut out to facilitate bending, such cutting being common where several folds radiate from one point.
For the ca end of the lamp I may use any suitable olding flaps or extensions but I prefer to use approximately trian lar flaps from one side of each of whlch a curved piece is removed leaving a curved edge which will fit to both the metal cap and the adjoining part of the glass as hereinafter described.
An example of m invention is shown in the accompanying rawings in which:
Fig. 1 shows the blank from which the box or carton is made.
F1g. 3 is substantiall a cross sectional view on the line 3-3 0 Fig. 2 and shows by dotted line the position taken by the lam in the box.
F1 4 is a view of that end of the box whic is to receive the glass end of the lam In this example the blank comprises t e sides 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the flange 5 by which the sides 1 and 4 are joined together by using an adhesive. Each of these sides has a separate flap extension, 6, 7, 8 and 9 respectively and adapted to fit to the cap end of the lamp. The other ends of the sides are continued in unseparated extensions 10, 11, 12 and 13 and these form the main feature of my invention in that the extensions arecontinuous or non-separated and are so creased and folded that they can be turned inwardly to form a support for the lamp.
Each of these extensions is bent along two lines as indicated at a; and b and they are also folded between each other on lines 0. This folding divides each extension in the centre of the box as seen in 3 and 4 and so that their curved edges form an appropriatel shaped support for the' rounded on of the lamp. The parts 15 have extensions 17 which increase the area of support for the glass of the lamp, these extenslons are optional.
The flaps 6, 7, 8 and 9 are adapted to be turned in one after the other to fit around the ca end of the lamp and are preferably turne in before the lamp is inserted. When the lamp is ushed into the box through the said flaps t ey will spring back and the curved recess 18 in eac flap will t a good hold against both the edge of t e cap as seen at 19 in Fig. 3 and against the ad oinin glass as seen at 20.
o facilitate folding the extensions particularly if the material of the blank is thick portions may be cut out as indicated by dotted lines at w.
What I claim is:- A box to hold an electric lamp comprising four integral sides each of which has an extension at one end saidextensions behaving at its opposite end means for hold ing integral with the sides and unseparated 1n% the other end of the lamp.
from each other, each extension being di- 11 witness whereof I have hereunto set 10 vided into three 1 farts by creases in the exmy hand.
