Description
Get. 22, 1929.
Filed Nov. 14, 1927 Patented Oct. 22, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JAMES BROWNLIE AND GILBERT MARK WUODHOUSE, 0F GLASGOW, SCOTLAND; SAID WOODHOUSE ASSIGNOB TO SAID BROWNLIE MEANS FOR PACKING ELECTRIC AND LIKE BULBS Application filed November 14, 1927, Serial No. 233,281, and in Great Britain November 30, 1926.
This invention relates to means for packing electric and like bulbs of the kind by which cartons and other expensive packing at present in use for each separate bulb is dispensed with, and the obpect of our invention is to provide a very simple, cheap and efficient means of packing thereby very materially reducing the cost of such when the articles are stored or sent away by train or otherwise and with the minimum risk of breakage.
According to this invention, we provide a box or casing of card-board or any other suitable material and of any convenient shape and size and with a hinged lid or cover. Inside of this box or casing there is a partitioned frame of any suitable material. Suitably fastened at each end of the partitioned frame and threaded through each partition so as to me capable of being collapsed, there is a double elastic band or elastic tape for gripping the bulb portion of the bulb. On each side of the centre or other longitudinal wall of the partitioned frame there are suitably attached, or they may form a part thereof, a series of suitable supports for the necks of the bulb G. It is pointed out that by the term longitudinal wall we mean a wall disposed at right angles to the axis of the bulb.
In order that our invention may be properly understood and readily carried into effect, we have hereunto appended; one sheet of drawings, of which Figure 1 is a front view of the device il-. lustrating our invention as applied to a box or casing having two rows of compartments with the lid shown open and a front portion of the box or casing removed to show inside thereof.
Figure 2 is a plan of the container shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view with the lid open.
Referring to the drawings, A is the box or casing and B the lid thereof. C is the partition frame which rests on the box or casing A. D are the double elastic bands or elastic tapes and E are the rests for the necks G of the bulbs F.
In packing, the bulb F is pushed against and between the double elastic bands D and the neck G inserted in the rest E, and the lamp being thus held in suspension, it will be obvious there will be less chance of its breaking or becoming damaged through jars or shocks.
iilthough we have shown a box or casing for two rows of bulbs it is to be understood that it may be made of such dimensions as to carry only one or any suitable number of rows.
(llaim:
A packing device of the class described, comprising a casing having a frame therein provided with spaced transverse walls forming COHlPtLltHlQDlTS therebetween and a longitudinal wall arranged across and at right angles to the first named walls, said longitudinal wall being provided with supporting means for the necks of electric light bulbs and the like, and a pair of spaced elastic tapes extending through openings in the transverse Walls and connecting said transverse walls and adapted to receive and hold the bases of such bulbs or the like therebetween.
in witness whereof we alhx our signatures.
