ROBERT M. WASON, OF SOUTHBRDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOB T AMERICAN OPTICAL COMPANY, OF SOUTHBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, A. VOLUNTARY ASSOCIA- TION OF MASSACHUSETTS.
BOX.
Application filed February 6, 1922. Serial No. 584,612.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Bonner M. WAsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Southbridge, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in boxes, and has particular reference to a novel and improved construction of box particularly adapted for use in the packing of ophthalmic lenses or the like.
One of the principal objects of the present invention is the rovision of a novel and improved construction which will satisfactorily hold several lenses in separated position and prevent scratching thereof by rubbing one against the other.
A further object of the present invention of this type which may be readily and satisfactorily employed to hold varying sizes of lenses, and which will satisfactorily retain and secure the same and permit of ready withdrawal of any individual lens as desired.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of an inexpensive construction which will include resilient means for so engaging the lenses as to prevent shaking about or rattling thereof irrespective of the size of lens packed within the box or container.
Other objects and advantages of my improved construction should be readily apparent by reference to the following specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and it will be understood that I may make any modification in the specific details of construction shown and described within the scope of the appended claims without departing from or exceeding the spirit of my invention.
Figure I represents a perspective view of is the provision of a single box or container a lens retaining box embodying my improve- Figure VI is a plan view of the spacing or retainin member removed.
Figure VII represents a sectional view illustrating one modified form of the construction.
Figure VIII represents a similar view of another modified form thereof.
In the drawings, in which similar characters of reference are employed to denote corresponding parts throughout the views, the numeral 1 designates the sides of an ordinary lens retaining box havin the end portions 2 united therewith and t e bottom 3, these parts being of any ordinary construction. Inserted within the box and having a flat central portion 4 resting on the bottom 3 and upwardl inclined side portions 5 is the substantia ly V-shaped lens engaging member which has the slots 6 formed in the upwardly extending side portions adapted to receive the lateral portions of a lens 7, as is clearly shown in Figures III and IV, for example. The advantage here accomplished is that on account of the .V- shaped formation the slots approach each other toward the bottom so that they will satisfactorily retain in position anything from a small magnifier lens, such as shown in position in Figure III, up to the quite large lens illustrated in connection with Figure IV, or the intermediate size also shown behind the small lens in Figure III. In any event the lens is simply dropped down into the appropriate slots 6 where it is satisfactorily retained against engagement with the adjacent lens so that if desired various sizes of lenses may be packed within the same box, or the same box may be employed whether an assortment of 38, 40 or 44 millimeter lenses are to be packed for shipment, a decided advantage in the matter of stocking boxes or containers for lenses.
Tobest facilitate the use of my invention, however, in place of making use of the plain V-shaped member of Figure III, I may if desired make use of the construction shown in Figure VII, in which the upper edges are reversely bent in the downwardly extending portions 8 having the lateral edge termini 9 which bear against the corners 10 at the bottom of the box. The purpose of these reversely extending portions disposed just outside the side portions 5 of the V is that, as is clearly shown in Figure VII, the
edges of the lens will contact with said members, which will thus serve to prevent lateral slidin movement, properly retaining them in pIace, and prevent undue lateral movement. for example, of the small magni fier lens shown in connection with Figure III.
It will, of course. be understood that the entire device is preferably formed from paper, in which event the portions 8 or 9 will have sufiicient resll ency so that they will be crowded outward as a large lens is put into place, resiliently springing away or yielding to give position to the lens, and at the same time exerting pressure against its edges. The amount of forcing down will depend to some extent on the placing down of the cover of the box which will contact with the top of the walls 5 at the top of the slots 6, preventing the endwise movement of the lens in the box, and the portions 8 preventing lateral play, so that the lenses are securely retained irrespective of their size.
As an alternative to the structure shown in F i ure VII or in addition thereto, if preterred I may provide one of the walls 5, or 5 and 8, with the strip 11 gummed as at 12 so that after the lenses are placed in position the strip- 1 1 may be stretched over the top and pasted against the opposite wall 1 of the box, this causing the upper portion of the side 5 above the slots to bind against the side of the lens and most securely hold it against any accidental slipping movement.
I claim:
1. The combination with a box, of a lens holder for use in connection therewith having a portion resting on the bottom of the box and slotted divergent portions rising box, slotted divergent portions rising therefrom and having their upper portions engaging the sides of the box, said upper portions terminating in downwardly deflected lens edge engaging members, and braces carried by said downwardly deflected portions and engaging the sides of the box.
3. A lens container comprising an outer box having a bottom and side walls, a bent innerlens supporting member comprising two wings descending from the to side of the box and converging towards t 1e longitudinal center line thereof, and a bottom spacer section between the lower ends of the descending wings and opposed slots in the wings adapted to receive the edges of a lens therein.
In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
- ROBERT M. VVASON.
