Dec. 23, 1930. J. R. FREEZE CRATE FOR METALLIC SHEETS Filed Aug. 21, 1929 INVENTOR. 4mm JP 9 ATTORNEY;
' Patented Dec. 23, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JONATHAN R. FREEZE, OF MIDDLETOWN, OHIO, ASSIG-NOR TO THE AMERICAN ROLL- ING MILL COMPANY, OF 'MIDDLETOWN, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO I CRATE non METALLIC snnn'rs Application filed August 21, 1929. SeriaLNo. 387,479.
The object of my invention is the provision of an improved crate for the shipment of metallic sheets which will be adequate to hold the sheets together in bundle form during shipment, and which may, if desired, be used insuch'a way as to permit the sealing of the sheets against the entrance of moisture and the like.
Another object of my invention is the pro- Vision of a type of crate, complete in itself,
which has no projections, metal ends, or
tabs which will catch on the floor of a vehicle in which the sheets are being shipped, with the consequent destructionor impairing of 5 the package. An ancilliary object is the provision of a type of crate comprising channels held together at the ends by main tie memhers-which do not extend either to the top or bottom of the crate.
Still another object of my invention is the provision .ofa crate in which metal tabs or lapels are bent over from the top or bottom and are not left free on any part of the crate.
Still another object of my invention is the provision of a t-ype of crate which is to all intents and purposes the same on both sides, and in which all exposed edge portions are formed by bent portions of the metal which do not present free edges at the corners.
These and other objects of my invention which I shall hereinafter point out or which will be apparent to one skilled in the art upon reading these specifications, I accomplish by that certain construction and arrangement of parts which I shall'now describe a preferred embodiment.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the crate shown empty to facilitate an understanding of its structure.
Figure 2 is a sectional view through my crate filled with sheets, the view being taken along the lines 2 -2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a partial sectionalview along the lines 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a partial sectional view along the lines 4-4 in Figure 1.
Broadly speaking, in the construction of 50 mycrate, I surround a pile-of sheets by chan-.
nel members at the ends and sides, and I provide main tying means to fasten these channels together, the tying means being eifective endwise of the crate, and acting upon turned over lapels of the side channels, whereby the objects hereinabove noted are at tained. In the specific embodiment about to be described, I have indicated a sheet bundle in which the sheets are protected by a wrapping of paper and are sealed inthe crate by an application of tar or'the like. It will be understood however, that various modifications may be made in my crate and bundle.
Without departing from the spirit of my invention.
I The ordinary pile of sheets 51 have shown in Figure 2 as wrapped in a layer of paper 6. Above and below it, waster sheets 7 are placed, and serve not only to form a protective outer covering for the-paper wrapping, but also prevent injury to the sheets beneath from mechanical'cause's. End channels Sand 9 are placed in position enclosing the edges of the sheets at the ends thereof, and the length of these channels is approximately the width of the sheets themselves. Next, the side channels 10 and 11 are placed in position enclosing not only the sides of the sheets, but also the ends of the end channel members. The side channels are longer than the end channel members, and they are slit back along the, edges thereof for a distance such as to leave a solid portion of the channel of substantially the length of the sheet package and three lapels on either end. The two lapels from the base of the side channels are indicated in the drawings at 12 and 13, and are bent over so as to lie outside the channels 8 and 9. The two lapels formed from the lips of the channel are bent overoutside the lapels 12 and 13. Theyare indicated in the several figures by thenumeral 14, andwhen bent over they lieoutside the lapels 12 and 13and crosswise thereto, as will be clear from the figures. A tie lapels 14. A convenient form of tie is a metal strap 15, less in Width than thickness .of the crate, and placed at the ends thereof so as to extend across these ends and between the t-urned over lapels 12 and 13 respectively, and the turned over lapels 14,
whereupon the strap is bent around the lapels 4 14 and tucked under beneath them as at'16. This forms a satisfactory tie for the crate and makes it'a complete unit securely bound together. The tie may, of course, be welded to the channels but this is not necessary, the particular construction shown being very secure. However, for additional safety, or dinary straps 17 may be placed aboutthe crate and fastened with the ordinary crimped fasteners 18.
\After the crate has been assembled, as indicated, it may be sealed by the application of hot tar about the edges of the channels as at 19, and about the ends of the crate. Thus, practically an air and water tight package is formed, which is adequate to protect the sheets from most corrosive influ- Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a metal crate, end channels, side channels adapted to cover the ends of the end channels, said side channels provided with l els formed in the base and lips thereof, the ase lapels turned over to lie outside the end channels, the lip lapels turned over to form a tying abutment, and means for fastening said crate together by engaging opposed abutments.
2. In a'metal crate, end channels, side channels adapted to cover the ends of the end channels, said side channels provided with la els formed in the base and lips thereof, the ase lapels turned over to lie outside the end channels, the lip lapels turned over 1 to form a tying abutment, and means for fastening said crate together by engaging opposed abutments, said means comprising a strap extending between the abutments and the base lapels, and. bent over on the outsideof the abutments and tucked therebeneath.
3. In a metal crate, end channels, side channels adapted to cover the ends of the end channels, said side channels provided with lapels formed in the base and lips there- 7 of, the-base lapels turned over to lie outside the end channels, the lip lapels turned over to form a tying abutment, and means for fastening said crate together by engaging opposed abutments, said means comprising a strap extending between the abutments and the base lapels, and bent over on the outside of the abutments and tucked therebeneath, said crate enclosing a bundle of sheets, a paper wrapper covering said bundle, and
waster sheets on the outside thereof.
4. In a metal crate, end channe1s,sid e' posed abutments, said means comprising a strap extending between the abutments and the base lapels, and bent over on the outside of the abutments and tucked therebeneath, said crate enclosing a bundle of sheets, a pa per wrapper covering said bundle, and waster sheets on the outside thereof, said side and end channels sealed to said waster sheets by an application of water-proofing substance.
5. In a metal crate, end channels, side channels adapted to cover the ends of the end channels, said side channels provided with lapels formed in the base and lips thereof, the base lapelsturned over to lie outside the end channels, the lip lapels turned over to form a tying abutment, and means for fastoning said crate together by engaging opposed abutments, said means comprising a strap extending between the abutments and the base lapels, and bent over on the outside offthe abutments and tucked therebeneath, said crate enclosing a bundle of sheets, a paper wrapper covering said bundle, and waster sheets on the outside thereof, said side and end channels sealed to said waster sheets by an application of water-proofing substance, and at least one metallic band encircling said crate as a supplementary tie.
