BOX.
Application filed. J'une9, 1927. Serial No. 197,683.
The box of the present invention may have a wide range of utility, but is primarily intended for use as a dispensing container and storage container for sheet material, such for instance as sheets of sandpaper.
An object of the invention is to provide a relatively fragile box of this type preferably of light paper or cardboard construction, so reinforced that a number of boxes may be superimposed one upon the other and stored upon a shelf without danger of crushing the boxes.
Another object ofthe invention is to provide a box so constructed that the sheets of material may be readily manually removed therefrom, thereby providing a convenient readily accessible storage container from whichsmall quantities-of the sheets may be withdrawn and sold at retail.
Another object of the invention is to provide a box so arranged that a Storekeeper y will at all times be afforded a visible indicafilled with sheet material of any of the materia tion of the number of sheets remaining, so that he will be warned when the stock is running low, or when the box is empty and needs to be discarded.
Other objects of the invention are to pro vide a box of simple, practical construction which will be rugged, durable and eflicient in use, and which is well suited'to the requirements of economical manufacture. I
With the above noted and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and comb nations and arr ements of in the claim. The invention ma be. fully understood from the following d escri tion in connection with the accompanying rawingis, wherein v ig. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view showing. the box of the present invention prior to the dispens- Fig. 2-is a similar view, but showing the front cover flap folded down, and the legendbearing 'jtab torn from one of the inwardly folding side flaps.
, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional detail on the line 33 of Fig. 1. I
In the drawings I have used the reference numeral 10 .to designate a relatively flat box of rectangular shape in cross section preferably formed of relatively, cardboard or arts, as will-be more fully hereinafter set orth and pointed out the like. One end of this box may be temporarily or permanently closed in any contrated), and at the other end of the box there are a pair of side tabs 11 joined to the box body along perforated folding or tearing lines 11 folding inwardly, an end flap 12 covering the tabs '11, and a flanged portion 13 adapted to be tucked into the box. 4
An integral bendable tongue 14 cut from the flap 12 provides a convenient handle means for pulling. the flap outwardly and downwardly to expose the contents of the box,
- venient orconventional manner (not illussuch for instance as the sand-paper sheets 15. V
A. number of boxes are adapted. to be stacked one upon the other on a shelf or other suitable support, and means must be provided for preventing crushing of the relatively fragile boxes by the weight of the sandpaper above-them. v
This means has been'illustrated as comprising a bracing member formed of a single length of corrugated paper-board or the like 17 The intermediate portion of this board lies against the upper inner face of the box -10, and the ends 17 of the board'are turned downwardly, being of a length equal to the height of the box 10 whereby the ends 17 serve as osts or strutsbracing the substan-- tially rigid bridge member 17, and crushing downward strains on the box are sustained by. the reinforcement. 1
Preferably the free lower corners of the tabs 11 bear the legend Full andthe tabs are rendered detachable by the lines of perforations 11 above mentioned so that after the box has been emplaced on the shelf, flap 12 amount of stock which remains. The boxes also may occupy a small amount of space on the shelves inasmuchas they may be stacked I directly one lipon the other without danger of crushing, and access may thus be had to any of the series of boxes by simply grasping the tab 14 and pulling down the flap 12.
Obviously various changes and alterations might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described'without departing from the IDVGIltlOIl. Hence I do not wish to limit myself to the details set forth, but shall consider myself at libert to make such changes and alterations as airly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended 0 mm.
tachable legend bearing I claim:
A cardboard box of the class described including an end closure flap having windows arranged in its loweredge, said flap adapted 'to be opened to permit withdrawal of sheet material through the end of the box, and deside tabs foldin inwardly under the en flap, said win ows adapted to visually indicate the quantity of sheet materialstacked in the box when the box is laid on its side subsequent to the detachment of the legend bearing tabs.
