BOX.
Application filed. November 19, 1921. Serial No. 516,425,
To all whom may concern:
Be it known. that I, SAMUEL K01 1, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, 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 of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. p
The present invention relates to boxes made of paper, fibre board or corrugated board, and aims to provide a box of novel and improved construction adapted especially for shipping clothes or wearing apparel, without the need of wrapping the box in paper, as usual.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a box comprising tray-like bottom and top sections adapted to telescope or fit together one on the other in a novel manher, and such sections each being formed from a blank and having secure corner constructions to bear together and provide strong corners for the box.
A- further object is the provision of novel means for preventing access into the box between the margins of the top and bottom sections for the purpose of withdrawing garments, or the like, from the box, Without detection, thus providing assurances against theft while the box is in transit.
As a more specific object, in this connection, the invention aims to provide a stiff lining within one section of the box, composed of corrugated board or the like, and secured to such section, over which lining the other section is telescoped, and whereby the lining stiffenjs and strengthens the box. as well as providing a guard or barrier against access to the contents of the box without the box being opened or so mutilated that the theft would be detected by the receiver.
A still further object is the provision of such a box wherein one section has its edge fitted between the lining the edge portions of the other section, thereby fitting thesections together insuch a .way that they cannot be separated for the insertion of the hand or an implement into the box without opening "the box or so tearing or mutilating same that the loss or damage could be observed by the person ,liecelv pg Another object is the construction of such a box which will afford a saving in mate rial as compared with boxes in which the marginal portions or rims of the trays or sections overlap entirely between the top and bottom of the box, to offset the slight additional expense in securing the liningwithin one section or tray, and making the cost of manufacture of the lmproved box about the same or at least not appreciably more expensive than the ordinary telescoped trays, whlle, at the same time, gaining the adwithin the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the in vention.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, Wherein.
Figure l is a perspective View of the improved box.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the top section or cover.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bottom section or body of the box, portions being broken away to show the construction more clearly. I
Fig. 4-. is a vertical cross section of the box.v
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank from which the bottom section or tray is folded.
The box is of flat 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, and may made in any suitable size. The box is c o m posed of two tray-like sections to telescope or fit one on the other, and each section is formed fron'fa blank of paper or fibre board of suitable quality to resist breakage of the "box during handling and shipment The bottom section or body comprises the bottom 7 side walls 8, and end walls 9, which walls areibent upwardly from the bottom, and said walls are provided at he ends thereof, at the corners of the box section, with the triangular securing flaps 1O and 1 1,
respectively. The flaps =16 70f the side walls overlap the end walls'loh the exterior;
as the fl p eftbaesd We eve-1a? the side walls on the interior, and such flaps are secured to such walls by means of staples 12, or the like, engaging inwardly through such walls and flaps to prevent them from being torn apart without detection. ll of the flaps 10 and 11 have edges 18 facing up- -wardly and located in a common plane parallel with and spaced above the bottom 7.
The top section of cover 13 is of the same construction as above described, and has the rim composed of the side and end walls 14 and 15, respectively. The present box ditters from the ordinary telescopic box, wherein the rims or flanges of the trays overlap completely between the top and bottom, because in the present construction, the walls of the sections or trays are only partly overlapped equal to the width oi theflaps 16 and 17.
The side and bottom walls of the bottom section havethe flaps or extensions 16 and 17 respectively, projecting upwardly therefrom, and of sufficient height to overlap the rim or walls of the top section the desired amount. Such flaps or extensions project upwardly above the edges 12 of the corner securing flaps 10 and 11, so that the flaps 16 and 17 are free and disconnected at their ends or at the corners of the box, thereby permitting the flaps 16 and 17 to be sprung outwardly slightly to receive the top section therein. 1
The bottom section or body is, in addition to the foregoing construct-ion, provided with means for preventing the insertion of hand and the withdrawal of a garment or similar article from the box without detection, when the box is tied or bound for transportation. Thus, a lining 19 is disposed within and against the rim or walls of the bottom section, and, as shown, is of corrugated board, with the corrugations extending vertically to strengthen the box at the rim between the top and bottom. The lining may be made of any suitable stifi material, and is of a height equal to that of the walls of the top and bottom sections jointly, not, considcriugthe flaps l6 and 17 The lining 19 thus extends above or rises from the'bottom section or tray, and the walls 8 and 9 of the bottom section are securely fastened to the lining by means of staples 20, or the like, therebyrigidly securing the rim or walls of the bot tom section and lining together, to provide a strong and slid construction, with the upwardly-extending flaps 16 and 17 loose to be flexed away from the lining for the insertion of the rim or walls of the top section between the lining and said flaps. The flaps 16 and 17, however, are rigidly united with the rim or walisiot the bottom section and the material -is sutliciently stifi tohold the flaps 16 and 17 against the rim or walls of the top section which can be readily telescopecl over the lining 19,
The lining 19 holds the box in form, when it is filled, in order that the top section or tray can be readily slipped over the upper projecting portion of the lining, thereby making thepresent box more convenient to close than the ordinary telescoping tray box, it being well known that the ordinary 'tray will bulge out and render it difficult rounding the lining, which will make it impossible to separate the rims or Walls of the two sections or trays for access to the contents. The lining and rim or walls of the bottom section being secured together, will prevent the walls and lining from being separated, and only by tearing the staples loose and tearing or breaking the walls and lining, could access be had into the box, without separating the sections, and such mutilation would have to be such as to be readily observed and detected. Furthermore, the flaps l6 and 17 will hold the rim or walls of the tofl section against the lining, and will prevent the hand from being inserted between the lining and rim of the top section, although the hand could be inserted between the extensions and top section which would be of no avail.
Another advantage of the present construction resides in the fact that the corner portions of the top section or tray seat on the upper edges of the corner flaps 11 of the bottom section or tray. In this way,
.such flaps 11 provide seats or shoulders on crushthe corners of the box. This, together with the lining 19 disposed between the top and bottom, will make the box thoroughly strong, to withstand crushing strains or pressures from the top and bottom as well as from the sides.
The rims or walls of the top and bottom sections only extend part waybetween the top and bottom, thereby effecting a considerable saving in material, as compared with the ordinary tray boxes which have the rims or flanges overlapping completely between the top and bottom. This saving of material will oftset the added expense in securing the liningwithin one section. The lining being of cheaper material than the material ,from which the sections or trays are made,
and being readily secured within the bot tom section, will not add \any or prohibtive expense n the n aautacture 955 th The present box is therefore particularly suited for the transportation of clothes and other goods, to prevent theft Without the same being radially detected, and to also assure of the contents and box not being crushed during handling and conveyance.
Having thus described the invention What is claimed as new is A box comprising tray-like bottom and top sections, a lining Within the rim of the bottom section, and extending above said rim so that the top section fits thereon and means securing said rim and lining together, said rim having upwardly-extending flaps extending the length of the Walls thereof to the corners of the box and disposed at the outer surfaces of said lining, and the rim of the top section passing between said lining and flaps when said top section is fitted over said lining.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
