COLLAPSIBLE BERRY BOX.
Application filed July 2'?,
This invention has reference to collapsible berry boxes and aims to provide a box of this character which may be constructed of wood in such a way that the sides of the box 'will be readily folded to their inactive position or extended for containing berries or the like.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for locking the bottom of the box in its active position, eliminating any possibility of the bottom of` the box being forced upwardly to cause the contents thereof to spill from the box.
With the foregoing and other objects 1n view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the yprecise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:
.Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a box constructed in accordance with the invention as in its extended position.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the box prior to the positioning of the bottoni there of in its active position.
Figure 3 isthe box in a folded condition.
Figure 4 isl a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the
Vbox includes a body portion formed o1 a length of thin wood such as employed in constructing berry boxes and the like.
In the construction of the box, the length of wood material is provided with a pair of grooves or scored portions 5 and a single scored portion 6 spaced therefrom the distance of the width of the box and av pair of scored portions 7 in spaced relation with the scored portions 6 and finally a single scored portion 8 in spaced relation with the scored portions 7, thereby providing a construction which may be readily bent to provide a rectangular box structure.
The ends of the length of wood, in the formationv of the box are overlapped as shown by Figure 1 Vof the drawings, where they are secured together by brads 9. The end 10 of the blank or length of wood ma- 1926. Serial No. 125,229.
terial, is provided with an elongated cut out portion 11 that has upwardly inclined portions 12 providing substantially large spaces at the ends of the openings for purposes to be hereinafter more fully described.
The outer end section which is indicated at 13, is formed with an opening 14 that registers with the opening 11, however,the opening 14 is much shorter than the opening 11 for the reception of the tongue 15 forming a part of the bottom 16.
The bottom 16 is also formed of a length of thin wood material of the same thickness as the wood material of which the sides of the box are formed and as shown by Figure 4 of the drawings, this bottom is provided with a scored portion 16 arranged in spaced relation with one end thereof providing a securing portion 17 which may be secured to one ofthe box sides, by means ofthe brads 18.
` As shown by Figure 2, the free end of the bottom 16 is cut away to provide the tongue 15 and shoulders 19 adjacent to the side edges of the bottom 16, which shoulders are adapted to engage the walls 20 of the cut out portion or opening 11 to the end that the box will be braced and held against collapsing. It is further pointed out that due to the construction of the enlargements at the endsv of the openings or cut out portions 11, the Y bottom may be bent upwardly at a point intermediate its side edges in order that the tongue 15 may be positioned within the registering openings 11 and 14, whereupon the shoulders 19 will automatically move to their active positions.
It will further be seen that due to the construction shown and described, the box may be folded to a position as shown by Figure 3, thereby requiring a small space for the storing ofthe box when not in use.
It is to be understood that the box constit-uting this invention can be made of any suitable material such as wood, paper or the like.
I claim: f
A berry box'including a length of sheet material having transversely disposed scored portions for providing a rectangular body portion, the ends of the length of sheet material being positioned one on the other to provide a double wall including an inner and outer section, said inner section having mi deug-ated opening exlendingr to pointe adjacent to the edges of the body portion, sind eonguted opening` having widened end p01"- tions, the outer section having an elongated opening communicating` with the first mentioned opening and n` bottom member having a tongue itted 1n the last mentioned opening and having out away portions denug' shoulders engaging the ends of the elongated opening.
In testimony that I Claim the foregoing' as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.
HANS PETERSEN.
