MONIE A. FEEST, OF DE KALB COUNTY, GEORGIA, .ASSIGNOR TO SCRIPTO MANUFAC- TUBING COMPANY, OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA, A CORPORATION OF GEORGIA.
BEGRIP-TAGLIE.
Application fle October 16y 1923.
This invention relates to receptacles and has more special reference to a box for holding mechanical pencil leads or points.
Boxes of this character because of the type of article to be contained should lend themselves to rapid and economical production. In order to achieve this production result, the design of the box must be such as to require but few operations and at the same time afford a substantial and neat article which will effectively serve its designed purpose.
The present invention has not only achieved the above objects but has also provided .a box which has inherent advantages over the boxes heretofore in use made by more costly methods.
Customarily lead points for mechanical pencils are manufactured in different colors and of varying degrees of hardness and hence it is desirable to provide a plurality of compartments so that the points of different hardness or color may be kept separate in the box.
These compartments are provided in the specific structure which forms the concrete embodiment of the invention by drilling or otherwise forming a plurality of suitable recesses in an easily worked body portion` Inasmuch as these openings may be simultaneously formed the body may be quickly and economically produced. It is also, of course, desirable that the box cover be capable of economical production and to this end the present invention utilizes a cover which may be and preferably is formed in a single shop operation, the cover being designed to be kept in place on the container by frictional engagement of the resilient or flexible parts of the cover therewith. The construction illustrated has the further advantage that the pressure of the flexible parts may be readily varied to suit the individual preferences of the user.
While two preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the accompanying drawing, it is to be understood that these embodiments merely serve to illustrate the underlying principles of the invention so that they may be readily eomprehended by those skilled in the art and the embodiments are in no 1'frise intended as limiting the in: reattori to these specific forms.
Serial No. 668,854.
In said drawing Fig. l is a perspective view of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section.
Fig. 3 shows the cut cover blank.
Fig. 4 shows a top plan view of the invention with the cover removed and,
Fig. 5 discloses a modified form of cover shown perspectively.
Continuing now by way of a more detailed description the body portion of the receptacle is indicated by A and is preferably of wood because of the comparative cheapness and lightness of this material and the ease with which it may be worked, although of course other light, easily workable materials might be used. This body A has one or more substantially parallel annular openings or lead receiving recesses B which are conveniently formed by drilling, although the particular shape of the opening or manner of production is not essential to this invention. The body portion A has also a restricted cover receiving end shouldered at C, the shoulder forming a stop to prevent the cover being pressed down too far and possibly pressed on some of the leads which might project from the upper end of openings B. The upper edges of this restricted cover receiving end are bevelled at D in the manner indicated in Fig. 2, so that the flexible dependent wings of the cover to be now described may be readily slipped over the restricted end to their proper position. The cover E which is designed to be used in conjunction with the body portion A is preferably formed from a single blank of flexible material, preferably metal, having oppositely disposed dependent wings E and E and F', F". These wings when in normal position afford the means whereby the cover is retained on the receptacle, eliminating any necessity for a hinged connection or the like between the two, as will be understood. While Fig. 8 shows the wings as located in a single plane; in practice the wings will be forced to the position shown in Fig. 1 at substantially the same time that the cover is blanked, as will be readily understood. The edges of the adjacent dependent wings are :not unitedkso that their flexibility and adrenal-aaai @tana est, at@ imag; a
Will not be destroyed or impaired. The fact that the Wings are independent and flexible permits thern to be manually adjusted by pressing the ooposite Wings or cover sides toward each ot er so that any undue spreading Which occurs With use may be conveniently corrected.
The modified forni of cover shown in Fig. 5 While having the advantage of an adjustlable friotional Contact with the body A is not so desirable from a: connneifeia'l point of view as is the preferred forni shoivn in Figs, l to il, since it is somewhat more diiiieuli to produce economically andl is not so conveniently adjustable by the user.
Vaiious'equivalents are mentioned in the foregoing specification but it is to be understoodtha'ft' those nientioned are' not the only ones which* are intended to fall Within the scope of the' appended claims.
It is claimed:
l. A. body for receptacles adapted tocontain mechanical pencil leads having' a plurality of drilled openings and a restrict portion adapted to receive a cover. the restricted portion halvingr bevelled edges.
2. A receptacle combining a body portion-V havin'g plurality of drilled openings adapted to `receive mechanical peneilleads, a restricted cover receiving end having bevelled edges with a separable' covenhaving oppositely disposed dependent` adjustable, ilexible elements adapted to frictionally engage therestrictedend of the body portion;
3. A- receptacle containing/1a. body portion having a plurality oi drilled openings. adapted to receive mechanical pencil leads and having a restricted Cover receiving end, and a covei having oppositely disposed dependent, adjustable, ileXible elements adapted rctionally' engagev the restrietedend of the body portion.
4. receptacle containing. a body' portion having a plnral'ity of drilled openings7 adapted to receive mechanical pencil' leads.
and havingI a. restricted cover'reeeiving end and a. cover having o'pposi'tely disposed de*- pend'ent, adjustable, flexible elements adapted to iictionally-engage the restricted end off the body portion,V the cover being non rotative with respect to' the body portion.
