Description

'lill which simple in constriictiomquiclr and wam- CONTAIE' This invention relates to improvements iii pecking and shipping boxes, or cases, and is particularly directed 'lo a novel form of rc2 inl'oiced double Walled container or ceroir construcied preferably o'lf corrugated paper board or the like materiel for use in pecking and shipping delicate apparatus, such as redio sets7 meters, typewriters, and ille like.

An object ofthe invention is 'to provide en improved reinforced container of llie cherecrer ldescribed constructed lo eectively protect and cushion the contents from endden blows and contacts so as to prevent injury and damage to the contents diie lio csreless and rough handling during transportetion.

Another object of the invention. is lo pro vide e. pecking and shipping bei;i of Jche elisir :iclcr described having an improved cushioning member which is adapted to ellectiveiy secure articles of unsyinmetrieel cross-section inv seid bor;w

A fui-liber object of lie inventionis to piro vide n container or, lil-ie character described easy to assemble, inexpensive to menufec lure, sind practical end ellicieiii to e leigh de grec for the purposes described.

Otnerebjecs ci? this invention will in perl. be obvious and in part iiereineter pointed out.

Certain features `herein shown end described ere shown, described and ciaimed in my Patent $1,522,902 granted Jennery i3, and accordingly ere not claimed herein.

Willi the above priori, .the invention accorc'lingly censisls in iziie features of con# stru( ion, combinations of elements and si :rangement ci? pars which. will be exernplif lied in "the construction hereinafter clescribed and of 'which the scope of application will. be indicated in the following claims. in the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of the various possible illusrative einbodirnenis of this invention,

Fig. l is a perspective View showing :i pecking :ind shipping box embodying the invention, paris of the box being broken away to sliow llie interior construction.;

to edd greatly lo lie cushioning prei/coos for llie purposes-described,

Af seen from Fig. l., lie ouer cel-sing; or shell i0 is of clic usual coilepsi'ole construclLion te permit economical knock down ,shipment and comprises elongated side W :ills

il, end Walls l2 and cover flaps i3, i5 and 1,6, creased and folded io form faire reciengiiler sli-eyed' shell. gulie cover flaps being adapted lo 'fold inwardly 'ce iorn'i die top sind boiorn wells for closing idie casing. Vfiien iziie flaps are folded inte their closed position., they may be held by any suitable ineens es fo.; exemple e strip ,of adhesive tape l?.

Familien or cushioning members 18 which are amv-rigged geinst the sidewalls, end Wells, i'zlie bottom, mcy be substantially similar in construction, and es seen most clearly in llig 3, eecli is preferably formeel of single sliee: of corriigeed paper board, out, creased Lied folded to 'form recienguler shaped body portion i9, enel wells 20. end side Walls 2]., seid end walls having; flap exeiisions 22 which are beni, izo extend Within and edjecenf; lelie side Walls 2l and heid in position by suitable aslzening means. The flap extensions 22 er other fastenings for the side and end Walls to retain alieni in their relative posit-ions may be emitted if desired, since it is apperen there when the members 18 are assemblee within lie casing l0, the structure is self-retaining (see Fig. 2).

il', is to be understood than', the shipping box is of suitable dimensions to enable paci ing the article or articles therein so :is to sub staniiziily fill tbe space marked A in Figa 2, and liat the partition liners 'iS are of proper size and shape 'lo completely cover the interior sides and bottoni of lle cesinQ 10.

Where the contents occupying space A (see Fig. 2) comprises a radio set having-the usual parts such as dials or other control means projecting beyond the enclosing cabinet and having a sloping front panel which forms a cabinet of unsymmetrical crosssection, the top levelling and cushioning member 23 maybe provided to accomodate the said projecting parts and also serves as a filler to support and Space the set from the top cover oit the casing.

The top cushioning member 23 is preferably constructed of a single ,sheet of corrugated paper board cut to the shaped blank 23 (sce Fig. 5) provided with crease lines 23" and folded to form the structure shown in. Fig. 4. The folded struc'ture may include the marginal edge flaps 23C a transversely extending loop portion 23g and a recessed portion 23@ extending parallel thereto, said portions being suitably positioned on member 23 and of a proper depth to abut the marginal portions uot the panel radio 'set to cushion and securely space the set from the top of the casing 10. (See Fig. 2.) It dethe blank Q-lf may be cut from the part of the blank E23 'forming the recessed portion la and said tabs '23 may be bent up within said recessed portion to 'serve as spacing bracesl between the side wall 23 thereof as is clearly shown in Fig. d.

ln. the practice of the. invention, the side and end partition liners 1S are Iirst placed in position in casing 10 and are held in their respective places by means of the bottom liner 1S as is clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Having arranged these liners in position with their body portions 19 spaced inwardly `from the various Walls of the casing, the ra-V dio set or other article to be packed is then lowered into place, the side Wall of the set dll abutting against the walls o'l" the liner 18 and being spaced thereby a substantial distance from the walls of the casing l0.

7With these parts in position, the top cushioning member 23 is inserted in the top opening of the casing with the loop portion 23 and recessed portion 23 straddling the various projecting parts and with said portion extended to abut the panel of the set, said member E23 being dimensioned and formed to act as a cushioning filler in the space between the top of the set and the top ol the casing 10. The cover flaps are then folded into position and the casing sealedin any suitable manner as by means of a strip of adhesive tape 17.

It Will thus be seen that there is provided a device in which the several objects of this invention are achieved and which is Well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.

As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as various changes might be made Ain the embodiment above set forth, it is tobe understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the aecompan ing drawing is to be interpreted as il ustrative and not in a limiting sense.
