be easily assembled by an inexperienced per son when desired, which in the knocked down condition will be extremely compact and which will thus be a' space saver and which may be manufactured of such materials and by such process as will enable the finished article to be sold at acomparatively low cost. 1
A further object of the invention is to provide a hollow container of the nature described which will when assembledbe of a shape most desired by dealers, especially in millinery. 1
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear as the description of the particular physical embodiment selected to illustrate the invention progresses, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail and the particular physical embodiment selected to illustrate the invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawing, wherein I have illustrated a particular preferred physical embodiment of my invention, and wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a box or container embodying my invention; Fig. 2, is a side elevational view, partly in section, of the box shown by Fig. 1; Fig. 3,'is
a top plan view of'the cover and attaching means of my box shown by Fig. 1; Fig. 4, is a plan view of the bottom and side when laid flat as employed in my box; Fig. 5, is a cross sectional view of the sides and bottom of my box, obtained by forming the material shown by Fig 4, before the top and attaching means are connected; Fig. 6', is a cross sectional view on the plane indicated" by the line VIVI of Fig. 5 viewed in the outline is shown by Fig. 1.
direction of the arrows at the-ends of the line. I a
't is realized-by those acquainted with such businesses, as the hat trade, and especially ladies hats, that it is very desirable and in fact practically necessary for shops selling hats to provide a box in which a hat, a
such as a ladys hat, may be carried from the store in such a way that it will not be injured or exposed to view. It is also well known that hats, especially ladies? hats, are often of large size and of a somewhat fragile nature so that thebox or container within which they must be placed must be of a relatively'large size and relatively strong so, at
least, to resist deformation by any ofthe ordinary blows and shocks which might be encountered in transporting sucha box in crowded localities such as departmentstores or crowdedeleva-ted or subway trains. It is also Well known that many of the better quality ladies millinery shops are, in large cities, of no great dimensions and space is extremely valuable and limited so that there is very often no available space in which to properly store any sufficient number of hollow containers or boxes with which to supply customers making purchases.
Applicant has attempted to overcome the dificulties inherentin present date practices by providing a container or box which may be stored in a knocked down condition so that it willoccupy, relatively, a very small space, to the end thatthe class of shops above mentioned may readily keep several hundred of these knocked down containers on a shelf or in-a draw and so be prepared for the most extreme demands which may be made upon them for containers and at the same tlme be able to purchase these containers at a more reasonable price, by reason of the large quantity bought at one time, and so protect themselves against any chance of exhausting their stock of containers by reason'of a brisk trade and be further freed from the necessity of paying high rent for space in which to store a relatively small number" ofan exceedingly bulky group of ordinary containers.
' My improved box or container in general It isthe general form of a-hollow rightcylinder with a flattened'side. This flattened side 1 is useful in thatfthe box maybe rested thereon with'no fear that it will roll. This flattened .more fully appear hereinafter.
side is positioned diametrically opposite the carrying handle 2, so that the box is naturally rested on the flattened side when it is deposited. The box has a littablerpivoted cover 3, which may be fastened, so that it will not fly open when being carried, by flexible latch 4: engaged over the curved up end of the carrying handle 2.
The side wall of my box is composed of the rectangular sheet 5, Fig. 4:. This rectangular sheet has an upturned edge '6, which forms a ledge against which the bottom rests when thebox is assembled, as will The sheet 5 is scored along the line 7 and also along the line 8 so that when the. sheet is formed the portion from 7 to 9 andfrom'8 to 10 will form a chord as appearsin Fig. 6,;the
, ends I 9 and 10 abutting.
Near :oneend of the sheet 5,1 attach bottom or end wall 11, circular in outline, except along theline 12, which is .a chord corresponding to the chord formed in the side by the Iportions 7 to 9 and 8 to 10, as appears in *ig. 6. The material set oil? by .the chord, that is, that embraced between lines 12and 13 of Fig. 4, constitutes a turned down portion when the box is completed. This turned down portion serves to attach,
as bythe use of an adhesive, thebottom 11 and the side 5. The portion 141 to 15 of the turned downportion of the bottom extends,
as shown in Fig; 4, beyond the edge 10. This extension from 14: to 15 is of the same magnitudeas the magnitude of the strip from 7 to 9, and is preferably no greater than is necessary to properly hold and contain fasteners, as 16 and 17. The turned down portion between'12 and 13 serves/to hold the'bottom 11 totheside 5 and so the portion 141- .to
15 is made as small as possible in order to have as large a portion as possible fastened to the side 5 byan adhesive.
If bottom 11 is placed at-a right angle to sheet 5 and then sheet 5 curled about the bottom 11, the parts will take thepositionas shown in Fig. 6. The bottom 11 will rest on the ledge 6 and in order to prevent the bottom 11 from being displaced I have attached a stop piece 18 projecting from the side wall 5, positioned about the thickness of the bottom 11 from the upper edge of ledge 6. This construction, with the parts in place is well shown by Fig. 5.
The cover ofthe box is shown in Fig. 3 in plan and in Fig. 2 in section. It consists of a flat piece 19' formed with a surrounding flange 20. To the fiat side2l of the flange 20 is attached, as by an adhesive, the cover attaching flap and side wall connector 22.
This flap 2 2 is,i n the form shown,rectangul ar and i e P ti n, h s f om t scoring 28 downwardly, as shown in Fig. 2,;is
oi the same superficial dimensions as the flattened side lot-the box. This flap 22 car side wall ,5 areheldfirinly abutting as at 9 and 10,.F1g. 6. fiillfiflllSPOSltlOll ofthe assembled parts including flap 22 is wellshown in {Tn .order to provide vmeans iorcarrying and latching the cover of the box, I provide a handle2, attach d in a ysuitableror p- 'propriate nanner;to the side wall -5. One enjd ofthe handle-2, is preferablyformedint a partialileop,3,0,.Fi 2 and Fi 1. At-
tached in any suitable or preferred 1na'nner to cover ;10 isa flexible latch l. This latch is formedwith an orifice 31. Whentheloop 30 is entered in the orifice 31, as may be readily done after closing the cover, the
latch then holds the cover from flyingopen while the box is being carried.
From the description hereinbetore given it will be apparent that I have devised a-box or ,container whichmay be shipped in the knocked down condition, that is, with.:the side wall 5 and bottom 11 flat and'parallel one to the other and with flap 22 extended, as shown in Fig. 8. In ,thiscondition the box will .oecupy relatively little space. The box is easilyassembled, requiring little or .no skill and when assembled provides a' box which is relatively strong and willresist deformation by the usual forces to which such a box is subjected when in use.
Although I have particularly described theconstruction of one physical embodiment of my invention and explained the operation and principle thereof, nevertheless, I desire to have it understood that the form selected is merely illustrative but does not exhaust the possible physical embodiments of the idea of means underlying my invention.
W hat I claim as newand'desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
1. A. hollow container including a side wall formed with spaced projections and abutting lends; an end wall attached to the side wall and held between the spaced projections; a flanged cover; a flap attached to the flange of the cover and covering the abutends and means removably attaching il efiap to each of the abutting ends of the si e ill i 2- ,.A hol o c n ain r including an end wall; aside wall and a cover, the side wall curled about the end wall and bearing projections between which the end wall is held and the ends of the side Wall abutting and wall and a side wall wrapped about the pe being formed flat for a short distance; a riphery 01 the end Wall and a sheet of mate,- 1O flap attached to the cover and covering the rial positioned along side of the side Wall flat portion of the side Wall and means atand overlapping the abutting ends thereof taching the flap to the ends of the side Wall and cooperating fasteners in each of the ends whereby the side Wall is held in place and a of the side Wall and in the said sheet. hinge is provided for the cover.
