Application filed June 8,

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that .1, ELLQN S..H1LL, a citizen of the United States, residing'at New Hampton, in the county of Belknap. a and State of New Hampshire, have in.

vented new and useful Improvements in Boxes or Cartons, pf which the following is a specification, This invention relates to boxes or cartons I made from paper-board, and has [for its object to provide a box, the side walls of -which are inexpensively stiflenedand rein forced to resist crushing pressure exerted downward on the top-of thebox. A The invention is embodied 'n" the improvements hereinafter. described and claimed. Of the accompanging drawings forming a part of this speci cation, v

Figure 1 is a plan. view of a box blank embodying the invention;

Figure 2 is aperspective view of a box formed from the blan'lc shown by Figure 1. .'1he, same reference characters indicate the same parts in allglof' the figures. v

A box blankembodying the invention is referably composed of a single one-piece Body of paper-board, and two stifiening and reinforcing pieces. The body includes 3 a bottom portion 12,, two side wall portions 13, having flaps 14:: at their opposite ends, and two end wall portions 15. The body islcreasedor otherwise adapted to be bent along predetermined lines, as indicated by dotted lines 16 in Figure. 1. The reinforcing ieces 17 also referably of paperboar are, glued to t e side wall portions 13 while .thejbody is flat,fand are of substantially the same width as the ort'ions 4.0 13, although they may be cons derably shorter, as shown.

The operations of bending the thus completed blank onthe lines15, and of gluing the flaps 14 to the portions 15, form' the box shown by Figure 2, the, reinforcingpieces being on the inner side of the box wall, and extending from the bottom to the upper edgeof the wall,.so that-the portions 1 13 are adapted to support, 'a considerable --tions of one-piece construction devoi 1., a conform-non of NEW Yonx 1922.

pressure from ;or buckled.

The end wall portions-15 are above, without being crushed corr'espondlngl reinforced by the flaps. 14, cemented to eir inner sides. 1 Y Y i he blank shownby Figure 1, constitutes,

an article of manufacture, which may be supplied to a user, who converts it into the open box'shown by Figure 2, thebox being reinforced both at its side and end wall portions,--so that the wall is adapted to supporta cover" and pressure exerted thereon.

' Owing to the fact that, the reinforcing pieces 17 are-of substantiallythe same width as the side wall portions 13, the lower edges of the 'reinforcingportionsbear on the bottom' portion 12, and their upper edges are flush with the'upper edges of the sidewall portions, in the completed box, as shown by Figure 2. The'reinforcingzpieces, there,-

' fore," constitute struts adapted to prevent- 7 edgewise. compression of the side wall portions by downward pressure thereon.

, 1. As an article of manufacture, a foldable box or'carton blank comprising a bot- 7 tom portion, side and end'wall portions ex tendln g from the corresponding edges of the. bottom portion, each of said side por-- tions being of one-piece construction, and reinforcing I portions att eir mid length, said reinforcmg pieces terminating a substantial distam-e short of the ends of'the said side wall po 'tions, whereby said reinforcing pieces constitute struts adapted to prevent edgewise compression of the side wall portions. by downward pressure on ,theupper edges thereof.

'2. A paper box having side wall or;-

o folds or pleats, the mid-length portions of said -si de} walls having separate reinforcing, anels of pa or stock adhesively secure "thereto,sai panels being of.consid-- erably less length then said walls.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my' signature.
