CONTAINER.
v Application tiled Hay 29, 1924. Serial No. 716,80).
To all whom -z't may concern.'
`Be it known that I, WILLIAM KxoLocxi, a citizen of the United States, residing at Long Island City, in the county of Queens,
State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Containers, of which the following is a specification.
The object ofthis inventionis to provide an improved box or container particularly adapted to receive andhold the usual one or more cells comprising an electric storage battery, such. as those used in lighting and ignition systems in automobiles.
A further Objectis to provide an article of the class described which can be formed, pressed or moulded from electric insulating material, such as will also be proof against attack by the acids used in secondary or storage batteries, and 4toprovide a marginal member removably secured lto the said box or container, said member being adapted to retain battery cells therein even should the container and contents be upset into an inverted position, while said member also when in operative positiorf is adapted to secure in fixed position with respect to said container any desired number of handles for supporting and carrying the article and its contents from place to place.
With these and other objects in mind, this invention comprises further details of construction and operation fully and clearly brought out `in the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is arvertical longitudinal section through the improved container in combination with a set of storage battery cells in operative position therein; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary detail view showing the union of one of the han` dles, the adjacent portion of the container and the marginal member for securing the two together; Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section of the upper portion of the container per se; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the marginal securing-member; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the container; Fig. 6 is a perspective View of one of the handles.
Referring to the drawings, a box or container of suitable material, such as wood hard rubber, or the like, is provided, the same comprising a bottom 1, bounded by upwardly extending side walls 2 and end walls 3, said walls adjacent to their uppermost portions being reduced transversely at 4 to approximately one-half of their crosssection, and forming at the lower extent of said reduced portion a horizontal shelf or i ledge 5, from which ledge there extend upwardly at spaced intervals semi-cylindrical grooves 6, in the reduced portion 4, and opening directly in the uppermostface of said reduced portion. This said portion is furthermore provided at spaced intervals with transversely extending apertures 7 countersunk at 8, and adapted to receive conical bushings 9.
A marginal `member, such as is shown in perspective inFig. 4, is provided,.the same comprising upwardly extending sides 10 and ends 11, adapted to be slid downwardly into the upper portion -of the container, and when in normal operative position the combined thickness of the walls 10 and 11, together with the respective reduced portions 4 of the walls 2 and 3, is equal to the thickness of the lower portion of the said walls 0f the container. The upper or marginal member is provided upon its outer upright surfaces with spaced slots 12, which register with the slots 6, and at their upper ends extend through an outwardly projecting peripheral flange 13 lying in substantially the same plane with an inwardly projecting flange 14, while the lower ends of said slots communicate with recesses 15 in the lower ed portions of said marginal member.
handle or other suitable lifting device such as is shown in Fig. 6 is provided, the same comprising a horizontal portion 16 terminating oppositely in downwardly extending portions 17, which latter terminate at their lower extremities in laterally extendingprojections 18. This lifting device is adapted to be placed within two of the adjacent grooves 12 of the upper marginal member, and so arranged that the projections 18 lie within the recessesl of" said member, aft-er which said marginal member is slid downwardly into operative position with respect to the container, and so that the outer semi-cylindrical portion of the sides 17 of the shifting device lie within the slots 6.
When the various elements have thus been assembled, screws 19 are passed through the bushings 8 and apertures 7 of the lreduced portion 4 of the container, and thence into threaded engagement with a preferably metal bushing 20, which may -be moulded or otherwise fixed within an aperture 21 in the sides of the marginal member, this construc- Tio' tion insuring a firm cooperation between said marginal member and the adjacent reduced portions of the walls of the container, and preventing the liftingl device from either longitudinal -or transverse movement with respect to said united members..
Although this container is -adapted to many uses, it has in this instance been particularly designed to hold the usual cells 22- of a storage battery, in ivhich instance the invvardly directed fiange 14 of the marginal member cooperates with the upper peripheral portion of the upper surface of the cover 23 of said battery cells, and holds said cover in firm co-operative relation with the side Walls 24 of said ce ls indirectlythrough the medium of a` peripherally .yielding gasket 25.
Thus, if the container and contents, similar to the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, are over-turned into a completely inverted position; it is obvious that the respective cells cannot be dislodged lfrom Withm saidv con tainer, nor will the acids of said cells be permitted to escape therefrom past the said v peri heral gaskets. And, furthermore, the
' han les make it possible toreadily transport said container and contents from place to place in any convenient manner. Having thus described my invention, `what Iclaim and desire to protect by' Letters Patcnt of the United States is l. A container, comprising a hollow mem- I ber having side Walls, the upper portions of said Walls being reduced in cross-section upon one side, and a member adapted to be inserted Within and in 'slidable co-operation with said reduced portions, and an inwardly directed flange carried by said second member to retain the contents within said first member.
2. A container, comprising a hollow memy ber having side walls, the upper portions of said Walls being reduced in cross-section upon one side, a member'adapted tobe inserted Within and in slidable co-operation with said reduced portions, said member having an outer flange ,overhanging the interior of said first member, and means extending through Vsaid reduced portions and into said second member to secure said members together.
3. A container, ycomprising a hollow member having a groove 'in its inner wall` surface, a member. adapted to be inserted land fixed Within said first member and having a groove registering with said first member having a groove in its inner Wall surface, a member adapted to be inserted and fixed Within said first member and having a groove registering with said firstv groove, a lifting device adapted to be position'ed in said grooves, means to secure said members together, and means to prevent the longitudinal movement ofsaid. lifting device through said grooves.
5. A container, comprising a hollow mem- 4 ber having a portion of'its Walls reduced transversely, a groove in the ysurface of said reduced portion, a lifting device positioned within said groove, a member adapted to be positioned againstl said reduced'portion and provided with a groove registering with -y said first groove and receiving a portion of said lifting device, and means to secure said members together.
6. A container, comprising a hollow member having'a portion of its walls reduced transversely, a groove in the surface of said reduced portion, a lifting devicepositioned Within said groove, a member adapted to be positioned against said reduced portion and provided With-a groove registering with said first groove and receiving a portion of said lifting device, means to secure said members A together, and a lateral project-ion on said lifting device extending beneath a portion of .said second member to prevent a. longitudinal displacement of said device from said members. J
7. A container, comprising ahollow member havin a portion of its Walls reduced transverse y, a groove in the surface of said reduced portion, a lifting device positioned Within said groove, a memb'er adapted to be positioned against said reduced portion andprovided with a groove registering with .said first groove and receiving a portion of said lifting device, means to secure said members together, and a lateral rojection on` said lifting device extending neath a portion of said second member to preventI a longitudinal displacement of said device from said members, and said second member being provided with 11n/inwardly directed fiange adapted to secure an article within said first member.
