COVER RETAINER.
Application filed August 27, 1926.
This invention relates to an improved cover and retaining means-therefor and it has more particular reference to a cover such as is used in association with an egg-crate or the like.
lVhat I aim to do is to attach the simple and inexpensive means to the end portion of the cover in such a manner asto facilitate application and removal of the cover.
Briefly, the means embodies, at each end of the cover, a stationary cleat and a rela-- tively movable cleat connected to the first-- named cleatby spring means which serve to yieldably hold the cover in position.
Particular features of construction will become more apparent from the detailed description.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of a complete crate equipped with the improved cover,
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same, and
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the details.
In the drawing, the reference character 1 designates thecrate which is of ordinar construction, and which, as is usual, is provided on its opposite ends and near its top with fixedly mounted reinforcing strips 2 which in the present instance function as abutments or shoulders. The cover is represented by the reference character 3 and it extends beyond the ends of the crate and ter- 7 minates flush with the strip 2. -Retaining means is provided at each end and since the retaining means is of duplicate construction, a description of one will suiiice for both. To this end, the reference character 4 designates a transversely disposed fixedly mounted cleat of any desired proportion. ating with this cleat is a relatively movable cleat 5. From Fig. 3 it will be noted that the cleat 5 has its upper ends beveled as at 6. Both cleats are provided with right angular brackets 7 at their opposite ends, and one portion of the brackets is directed away Cooper- Serial No. 131,938.
from the cleats as indicated at 8 and provided with an aperture. A pair of' coil springs?) are employed and these springs are connected at their opposite ends to the apertured portion of the brackets.
In practice, the cover is placed upon the crate in the usual way and the spring retained movable cleat 5 is literally snapped beneath the abutment strip 2 so that it assumes the position shown in the drawing. The beveled surface 6 provides a. slight space to allow the cleat 5 to lie in intimate contact with the end of the crate. With this arrangement of parts it is obvious that application and removal of the cover is facilitated and the cover is securely maintained in closed position during handling and transportation.
I claim 1. In a cover retainer of the class described, an abutment strip adaptedto be carried by one end of a crate, a relatively movable clamping cleat adapted to be mounted on one end of the crate for cooperation with an adjacent edge of said abutment strip, and spring means connecting said cleat with said strip.
2. In a. cover retainer of the class described, a. retaining means comprising a cleat adapted to be rigidly secured to one end of the cover, a complemental relatively movable cleat, and spring means connecting said movable cleat with said first-named rigid cleat.
3. In a cover retainer of the class described, a primary cleat adapted to be secured transversely of one end portion of a crate cover. a relatively movable clamping cleat, brackets connected to the opposite end portions of the cleats, and coil springs connected at their opposite ends with. said brackets.
In testimony whereof I afii); my signature.
