SAMUEL KOFF, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BOX.
Application filed March 24, 1923.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I. SAMUEL Korr, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable .others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The present invention. relates to boxes made of paper or fibre board, and aims to provide a box of novel and improved construction adapted especially for shipping clothes or. wearing apparel, without the need ofwrapping the box in paper, as usual, this invention being an improvement over the box disclosed in my Patent No. 1,401,794, granted December 27, 1921.
One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a box comprising traylike bottom and top sections to telescope or fit. together one on the other, and novel means carried by the inner or bottom section for preventing access into the box between the margins of the two sections for the purpose of withdrawing garments, or the like, from the box, without detection.
A still further object is to provide the inner or bottom section with flaps to overlie the contents and to prevent a person from reaching into the box and pulling out the garments or other similar articles without detection, when the box is tied or bound for shipment.
Another object is the provision of means for preventing the depression of the flaps of the inner or bottom section, so as to thwart access to the contents of thebox, as well as stiffening and reenforcing-the box construction and enabling the outer or cover section to be made of lighter material than usual.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will be apparent as the clescription proceeds,the invention resides in the construction and arrangement of parts as hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes can be made within the scope of what is claimed, with- Serial No. 627,346,
out departing from the spirit of the invention.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying. drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of the bottom section or body of the box.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the top section or cover.
Fig. 3 is a cross section of the box. A
Fig. 4; is a plan view of the bottom section in blank, prior to the folding thereof into, shape.
Fig. 5 is a View similar to Fig. 1 showing a modified construction, portions being broken away, to show the props.
Fig. 6 is a cross section of the modified construction.
Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 4c of the bottom sectionshown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 8 is a View similar to Figs. 1 and 5 showing another variation.
Fig. 9 is a cross section of the third form of box.
Fig; 10 is a View similar to Figs. 1 and 7 of the bottom section, in blank, of the third form of box.
Fig. 11 is a fragmentary bottom view of either the second or third form of box.
The box is of fiat form, such as used for the transportation of cloaks, suits, dresses, furs, and other garments or wearing apparel, and the like, and the box is of elongated or rectangular form, as shown. The box is composed of two tray-like sections to telescope or fit one on the other, and each section is formed from a blank of paper or fibre board of suitable quality to resist breakage of the box during handling and shipment.
The bottom or innersection comprises the bottom l and the side walls 15 and end walls-16 bent upwardly from the bottom, and said walls are provided at the ends with the triangular securing flaps 17 and 18, respectively. The flaps- 17 ofthe side walls overlap the ends walls on the exterior, whereas the flaps 1-8 ofthe end wallsoverlap the side walls on the interior, and said flaps are secured to the walls by means of staples 19, or the like, engaging inwardly through said walls and flaps to prevent them being torn apart without detection. The vertical corners of the bottom section are thus of double thickness and strength, so as to be secure and to withstand rough handling and tampering.
The outer section of cover 20 is of the same construction as above described, but slightly larger to telescope or fit over the bottom section or body. V
The bottom or inner sectionis also provided with means for preventing the insertion of a hand and the withdrawal of a garment or similar article from thebox without detection, when the box is tied or bound for transportation. The side walls 15 and end walls 16 have the respective flaps 21 and 22 extending from the upper edges thereof, and said flaps can be foldedv over the contents when same are placed in a box.
The side wall flaps 21 are comparatively wide, so that their edges almost meet, and the end Wall flaps 22, when folded downwardly or inwardly, overlap the ends of the flaps 21, preferably on the upper surfaces of the flaps 21, although the flaps 22 can be located under the flaps 21, in the first form of box illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. Such flaps will make it impossible for a person to reach into the box between the body and theco-ver to withdraw a garment or other object from the box without so tearing or mutilating the box that same can be readily detected and the guilty person in charge of the. shipment held responsible. The flaps 21 and 22 thus provide guards overlying the contents of the bottom section of the box, directly under the top or cover to prevent access to the contents by inserting the hand between the two sections of the box.
Figs. 5, 6 and 7 show the use of p-ropsor supports 23 extending from the ends of the side wall flaps 21, to be bent downwardly so as to overlap the end walls 16 on the interior. These props or supports 23 are adapted to seat or bear on the bottom 14,
thereby preventing the flaps 21 from being depressed. Thus, if a hand is inserted between the sections and end wall flap 22 pressed down, the props 23 will prevent the depression of the'flaps 21 and 22, thus making it even more difiicult to get the hand between or under the flaps. The props 23 thus prevent the depression of the guard flaps completely along the rim or margin of the bottom section. Furthermore, the props 23 will considerably strengthen and reenforce Figs. 8, and 10 show the use of the props 23 for the side wall flaps 21, with the end wall flaps 22 omitted, whereby the botsertion of the fingers between and under said flaps, even though the hand may be inserted between the sections of the box.
The flaps 21 of the first form and the flaps 21 and props 23 of the second formcan also be of sufficient width to overlap one another, the same as in the third form of box.
The cover 20 of the second and third forms of boxes,.as seen in Figs. 6, 9 and 11, is provided at the edges of its rim with the flaps 24, which can be bent under the bottom 14 of the box when the cover is in place. These flaps 24 will thus overlap the bottom, and when the box is bound with string or cord, said flaps willbe held against the'bottom, thereby rendering it impossible for a person to insert a hand between the rims of the two sections, inasmuch as it would first be necessary to insert the hand between one of the flaps 24 and the bottom 14 before the hand could pass between the rims of the two parts. The flaps 24 can have their ends flaps may lay flat against the bottom 14, or
the ends of the flaps 24 can overlap similar sections to telescope one over the other, op-- posite walls of the bottom section having flaps tooverlie the contents, said flaps having props'at the ends thereof to overlap the other walls at the interior and to seat on the bottom of said section to support said flaps against said depression. a
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. SAMUEL KO-FF. l/Vitnesses:
