J. A. NOBLE CARRYING CASE Jan. 6, 1931.
Filed Aug. 9, 1929 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG Egliu Patented Jan. 6, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JAMES A. NOBLE, or nocnnsrrm, imw YORK, ASSIGNOR 'ro ms'rm tom PANY, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, A. CORPORATION 01' NEW YORK .caaanne case Application mm August 9,1929. Serial 1T0.884,581.
This invention relates to photography, and more particularly to camera carrying cases. One object of my invention is to provide an inexpensive, easily made, camera carrying case. Another object of my invention is to provide a camera carrying case in which the main part of the case is formed from a single blank of material and the edge walls are held together by means of a pair of cooperating plates. Another object of my invention is to provide an assembling meansby which the edge walls of a camera carrying case can be fastened securely together. Another object of my invention is to provide a fastening means which does not require special tools. Another object of my invention is to provide a pair of cooperating plates, one having sockets and the other having spurs attached to the sockets for holding the facing ed es of the camera walls together. Another oh ect of my invention is to provide a fastening means for the facing edges of the side walls which is neat in appearance and which is not provided with any stitching or other fastening means extending through to the outside of the carrying case.
- Coming now to the drawings wherein like reference characters denote like parts throughout Figure 1 is a perspective view of a camera carryin case constructed in accordance with and em odying a preferred form of my invention;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of one of the cooperating plates which go to fasten together the facing edges of the side walls of the camera;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the other of the two cooperating plates which are used to fasten together with the sidewalls of the camera carrying case;
Figure 4 is a top plan view of a blank cutout to form the walls of a camera carrying case such as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 is an enlarged detail section through one of the side walls of a carrying case constructed in accordance with, and embodying a preferred form of my invention.
Referring particularly to Figure 1, a camera carrying case may comprise a front wall 1, a back wall 2, a bottom wall 3, and side walls designated broadly as 4.
Each of the side walls is composed of a series of layers of material which will be hereinafter more fully described. Referring to Figure 4, the blank from which the carrying case may be made is shown unfolded.
As will appear from this figure, the side walls may consist of two half sections 5-5.
When the blank is folded up these sections face each other. They may be either in actual contact with each other along the edges 6, or these edges may be spaced somewhat from each other. The bottom wall 3 is formed of a series of sections 7 which are folded along the creased lines 8, and a. series of flaps 9, fold together with their edges 10 either close to or touching each other. This blank is preferably made of cardboard, newsboard or like material.
To form a top or cover 11, for the carrying case,there is an extended flap which is provided with a series of weakened lines 12 separating areas 13 so that these are free to fold when the cover is turned about the upper edges of the camera carrying case.
In order to hold the facing edges 6 of the flap sides together, and in order to hold the flaps 9, which extend out from the stripe 7, which form the bottom wall-of the camera carrying case together, I use a pair of cooperating plates shown in detail in Figures 1 and 2.
These plates are of similar shape, but are otherwise different. In Figure 2 the plate 14 is shown, this plate being preferably made from .one or more laminatlons of cardboard or other relatively stiif material.
In the upper portion of plate 14 there is an opening or aperture 15 which is prrferably not cut through the entire thickness of 2 weaves erably use aninner member 19 of a thin sheet of metal and an outer member 20 of cardboard or like material.
' From the inner part 19 a pair of spurs 21 and 22 are stuck out. Spur 21 is preferably stuck out in a horizontalposition and s ur 22 is bent out as shown in Figure3 so t at a large part of the length of the sfpur willlie parallel to but spaced from the ace ofst'ri 18.
Wit the spur in this Bossesthe upper spur 22 is inserted into the pocket 15 of the cooperating plate 14 and then the spur 21 is entered through the slot 17 of plate 14 so that this last mentioned spur passes entirely through the plate and can be bent over flat against the inside of plate 14. a
Before joining the plates in this manner, the flaps 5 and 9 are all folded so that they will lie between the two'plates so that these plates serve as a clamp for holdingthese flaps to ether.
1 pre er to place a decorative covering on each of these plates so that a smooth exterior will be presented by the 'side walls of the camera case.
This decorative covering may be in the form of a thin sheet of material such as leather, imitation leather or the like. In
Figure 2 I have indicated the decorative cov-- flaps 26 which may be pasted'over the edge of plate 18.
The edges of the blank after being pasted as above described may lie on the inner faces of the parts 14 and 18 as indicated in broken lines at 26'.
If desired, when putting the case together by uniting the edges of the side walls to the cooperating plates 14 and 18, a small amount of glue or other adhesive may be placed on the flap. This isdia ammatically illustrated in Figure 4' at The flap will be held satisfactorily without the use of an ad- 'hesive, but this forms an additionally strong side wall to the case and since it is not neces- .sary to take any great care to prevent the adhesive from smearing over the walls of the case,'this can be readily done in assemwill be substantially smooth, free from stitching and the only part which will pro- I ject'at allonjheinside-of the case will be the end of spur 21.1; Since this spur is pressed it is generally pressed into the relatively soft wall of the cooperating plate 14 so that this spur will not scratch orsotherwise mar the surface of a camera being placed in case.
The construction of the cooperating plates 14 and 18 not only provides a clamp by vivlich e tothe sides of the case ma be firmly gether, but in addition, t e construction particularly lends itself to the provision of a smooth, protective covering which is not Patent is:
1.
