PHILIP JOFFE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
CONTAINER.
Application, filed Au gust 24, 1927. Serial No. 215,158.
This invention relates to containers with particular reference to means for easy, instantaneous, neat. and secure closing.
A further object is toprovide means whereby the, bag is rendered easy to carry, having grips readily engageable by the users hands, andlocking means for said grips.
A further aim is in the provision of a container which may be used in transmission through the mail having means to permit inspection by post authorities without dam aging the container.
These sever-a1 objects are attained by the novel design and construction of unitary elements hereinafter described and illustrated in the associated drawings, constituting an important part of this disclosure, and in which:
Fig. 1, is a plan view of a container made in accordance withthis invention, shown in an open position.
Fig. 2, is a perspective view of the same, showing the manner of manipulation.
Fig.3, is a plan view of the same in a closed position. v
Fig. 4, is a similar view of a modified form of container.
Fig. 5, is a like view of a further modification broken away to show its construction.
Fig. 6, is a' similar view of the same shown in a closed position.
Fig. 7, is a similar view of a still further modification.
Fig.8, is a erspective view of the bag shown in Fig. l in a closed position.
Fig. 9, is a plan view form of this invention.
Fig. 10, is afragmentary perspective view of the container shown in Fig. '9, as in a closed position.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the numeral 15 generally designates two-walls of the bag having their upper edges 16- arcuately cut on both sides of the center of the bag, there being scores or weakening lines 17 extending from the center, diagonally to the vertical side edges of the bag to form flaps 18. By applying pressure to the edges 16 the flaps 18 fold inwardly along the score lines 17 until they snap into place in the nature of another modified of an over-center spring and the edges 16'.
an opening 19 below the apex of the side edges.
In Fig. 4, the numeral20 designates the sides, provided with openings 21 near their top edges, the walls being scored or weakened at 22 to form the flaps 23. This permits of the use of a container having originally a straight upper edge.
In practice, if the user takes the bag as shown in Fig. 1, inserts the merchandise, and then exerts a slight pressure of the fingers on each side of the bag along edges 16 (Fig. 2), this pressure causes the flaps to fold inwardly and at the same time distends the two extensions which exert a back pressure. Once the points of greatest possible distension has been passed, the spring or tension in the extensions causes the flaps to snap-into place .as shown in Fig. 3. The bag is now effectually and neatly closed and the purchaser grips the openings in the extending receives the bag as shown in Fig. 3, he has merely to open the flaps, insert the merchandise and proceed as above described.
The container shown b readily used for mailing purposes and has walls 25, provided at the corner of one of the shorter sides thereof with extending I folded inwardly in the same manner as previously described with relation to Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive,
the last mentioned flap being secured by a pro ection 27 integrally formed with one of the walls 25, and is adapted to be folded over .the flap and which maybe held in place by the application of a postage stamp or other fastening means thereover.
In Figs. 7 and 8, the numeral 30 designates the rectangular front and'rear walls of the bag, intermediate which, are secured gussets 31 upwardly curved at their top edges 32 to extend above the walls. The members 80 are obliquely scored or weakened at 34, from their longitudinal edges to the center of their upper edges, to form triangular flaps 35.
Thus,'when the bag is filled so that the g sse s are extended as shown in Fig. 8, the
'75 portion which provide a convenient carrying and lockmg means. If however, the user in Figs. 5 and 6 may substantially impervious flat topped con tamer.
In Figs. 9 and 10 the rectangular front and rear walls of the ba are designated by the numeral .40 interme iate which are se cured gussets 41 extendingabove the side I members and having their upper edges arcuately cut.
The faces 40 have their outer corners scored obliquely at 45 to form flaps 46; the
In the case of the gusseted bag Figs. 7 8, 9 and 10 the method of manipulation is substantially the same as that described for Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, the pressure of the fingers in this case however, being applied to the gussets, with the same results.
Thus theupper end of the gussets are first folded inwardly along a score line 43 and this movement causes the flaps 46 to fold inwardly adjacent the flap 44'which are also directed inwardly to form a ready grip for the container. 1
While the foregoing is descriptive of the preferred embodiments of my invention, itis not desired that'the same be interpreted as limitative, since changes in size, proportion,
material etc., may be made without the exercise of invention or departing from. the spirit and scope of the appended. claims.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is-:
1. A container comprising a front wall, a rear wall attached thereto at its side edges and bo ttom, and diagonal scores in each said wall ex'tcndingfrom the side edges to the open top defining integral flaps at the upper corners of the container, adapted upon the applicat imi of pressure on their side edges to fold inwardly, said flaps being of such extent as to form a closure obstructing su b stantially'the entire open top of the container, and an extending portion of said walls having openings for carrying means.
2. A container comprising-front and rear walls attached at their side edges and bottom, the upper edges of said walls being cut to define relatively narrow extensions, and opposed weakening lines in each wall extending obliquely from" the points of intersection of the extensions with the open edge of thecontainer, to the side edges thereof, whereby said extensions are adapted to fold inwardly to effect a closure of the container,
