l REGEPTACLE Filed Sept. 17, 1928 INVENTOR.
1 A TTORNEY Patented July 7, 1931 narran stares earner ortica WAJTER C. CARLSON, OF MELWA'KEE, W'ISGONSN, ASSIGNOR T0- THE 'MLWAUKEE PAPER, BOX COMPANY, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, A CORPORATION OF WISCONSIN RECEPTAOLE Application led September 17, 192,8. Serial No. 306,485.
r1`his invention relates to improvements in receptacles and more particularly to receptacles for hats.
Hatboxes, as heretofore constructed, have 5 comprised a cylindrical body portion having a closed end and an open end, the latter being fitted with a removable cover. This type of container was objectionable in that there was no means for maintaining the loosely iitting cover in place, and the latter frequently dropped oii` and was lost. Furthermore, when hatboxes of this type were stacked, one upon another, in order to remove the contents ot' one of the boxes in the lower portion of the stack, the said boX had to be entirely removed from the staclr thereby disturbing all of the other containers.
lt is one of the objects ot this invention to overcome the abovementioned objections and 2o to provide an improved receptacle having an opening in a side portion thereof provided with a novel form of closure.
1t is a more specific object of this invention to provide a receptacle ot the cylindrical type with permanently closed end portions, having an opening in its side, and having a door curved to conform to the curvature or" the receptacle, the said door being provided with an opening and being slidable either to a position in which said opening is in registration with the receptacle opening to permit access to the interior thereof, or to a position out of registration with the re ceptacle opening to prevent access to the interior of the latter.
A further object of this invention is to provide a receptacle having a side opening in which a slidable door is provided, the said door serving not only as a closure for the opening, but also serving to reinforce the sides and end walls oi the receptacle.
t is a further object et this invention to provide a receptacle having a side opening and having a slidable door as a closure for said. opening, in which there is arictional engagement between said door and the receptacle side walls for maintaining said door in any desired position.
A Jfurther object of this invention is to 5o provide a receptacle which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, neat in appearance, and well adapted for the purpose described.
ith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the improved receptacle and all its parts and combinations, as set forth in the claims, and all 'equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference characters designate the same parts in all of the views: K
Fig. 1 is front elevation of the improved receptacle, the door being shown in the closed position;
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the door in the open position; 4
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 2; and f Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 2. Y
Referring to the drawing, the numeral S designates a cylindrical body portion which is constructed of cardboard or other suitable material, and which is formed with an opening 9 preferably circular in shape and of a diameter nearly equal to the height of the container. The ends of the body portion are closed by end members 10, having flanged sides 11 which are glued or otherwise permanentlyfsecured to thebody position. j
Fitted within the body portion is a slidable door 12 also cylindrical in shape and formed with an opening 13 of substantially the same size and shape as the opening in the body portion. The said door is of such a diameter that it will t fairly snugly within the body portion to provide suticient friction to maintain the door in any position to which it has been slidably moved. rEhe height of the door is slightly less than the height of the body portion to allow small clearance spaces 14 at the top and bottom. The amount of clearance should be such as to permit the door to slide properly, g of an inch having been found to be ample.
rlhe slidable door is provided near the opening with tab 15, which may be made of artilicial leather, ribbon, or other suitable material, and which has one end attached to the door and its other end projecting a sufficient distance so that it will protrude-when the door is open, as shown in Fig. 2, to enable the user to readily grasp it. A ha-ndle 16, also constructed of artificial leather or ribbon, is secured to the outside to the receptacle to facilitate carrying.
To open the device, it is merely necessary for the user to grasp the tab 15 and exert a sidewise pull on the same to bring the opening in the door into registration with the opening in the receptacle. The hat or other article within may then be readily removed. To close the receptacle, the tab is pulled in the reverse direction.
By thus having the opening in the side of the hatbox, several receptacles may be stacked in a. store and the contents of any one may be readily removed without disturbing the others. Furthermore, by having the cylindrical sliding door of substantially the same height as the body of the receptacle, the said door will reinforce the sides of the latter and will prevent them from bulging out when pressure is exerted on the top of the box.
It will further be noted that the end pieces are permanently secured to the body portion, and that the slidable door is non-removable, Whereas in the ordinary type of hatbox, the covers are removable .and easily lost.
Although the invention has been described and shown as comprising a cylindrical receptacle with a cylindrical sliding door, it is not desired to be limited to this particular embodiment, as the broad concept of the invention contemplates its use in other forms of containers. For example, an oval box may be employed, and the slidable door, may extend only partially around' within the. sides thereof. Y p
From the foregoing description, it may be seen that the improved receptacle is simple in construction and well adapted for the purpose described.
What I claim is:
l. A cardboard receptacle comprising a body portion having a cylindrical side wall and closed ends, said side wall being provided with an opening, and a slidable complete cylindrical side wall adjacent said wall also having an opening therein adapted to be moved into or out of registration with the opening in the side wall of the body portion.
2. A cardboard receptacle comprising a body portion having a cylindrical side wall and having closed ends, said side wall being provided with an opening, and a slidable complete cylindrical door within the receptacle, said door also having an opening therein adapted to be moved into or out of registration with the opening in the side wall of the body portion, and said cylindrical door fitting snugly within the receptacle to provide a frictional engagement with the side wall thereof so that the slidable door will be maintained in any position to which it has been slidably moved.
8. A cardboard receptacle comprising a body portion having a rounded side wall and closed ends, said side wall having an opening therein, and a door having an opening therein of less height than the height of the door, said door being slidable to bring its opening into or out of registration with the opening of the side wall.
4. A cardboard receptacle comprising, a wall having continuous cylindrical portions at the opposite ends thereof and also having an opening between said portions, end closures having integral cylindrical iianges embracing said end wall portions, and a door having continuous cylindrical portions at the opposite ends thereof slidable in direct contact with the interiors of said Continuous wall portions to effect closing of said opening', said door having an opening between the cylindrical end portions thereof adapted to register with the opening in said wall.
In testimony whereof, I aiiix my signature.
WALTER C. CARLSON.
