'Ihisinvention relatesjto boxes and crates and especially to the boxes usedlby fruit and vegetable growers for collecting their products 'from'orchard an'dfield. I
An object of the invention is to provide such a box or crate, of stout construction and without nails, or wood screws, which become loose and allow a box to be wrecked and destroyed.-
\ Another object is to provide a box or crate that is easily repaired, or knocked down for shipment or storage.
Another objectis to provide a box of these advantages, that is inexpensive to manufacture.
In the accompanying drawings, which show an embodiment of the invention,
Figure l is a perspective View of the as sembled box and shows two kinds of bindv ing at its two ends.
Figure 3 shows a portion of the channel iron reinforcingedge of the heads.
Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective View of a portion of the channel iron; and
Figure 5 is a view of one of the side boards 8 showing the anchor slots 9. y
The same numerals refer to similar parts in the different figures.
2, with wood spacers 3 between them, all of at least three quarter inch stock. These are unit, which has a reinforcing channel iron aroundthree sides; I
In Figure 3 is shown one manner of formedge 4, of
ing the channel iron edge, by cutting out As seen in Figure 2, an end head is pref erably built up of wood slats 1 and top bar glued or otherwise securely attached into a' project outwardfrom the three sides of the head, In Figure 2 the near tongue of each pair is seen against the end of a side'or bottom board 8,-the other tongue of the pair beingin an anchor slot.
i In Figure 5, one of the side and bottom boards'8, seen in Figures 1 and'Q, shows the anchor slots '9 which receive the tongues 7 Some of the slots 9 can be seen in Figure 1 on the exterior of the'box and in the seen entering the slots on the interiorof the With side and bottom boards Sin place, a
binding band 10 is placed around the as- .sembly, having holes for the screws 11 At 1 the pointswhere the screws are to; enter, holes are drilled in the heads and recesses made in the edges of the heads to receive square nuts. When the channel iron is in place then, the square nut is the channel-' and so is prevented from turningfon tightsamefiguresome of the tongues 7 can be enin'g'of the screw. In-Figure 2, the channel' iron is broken away to show a nut of screw 11 inside channel 4. Washers are preferably used on the screws):- .which-d raw bands 10 down into the spaces .between the side and bottom boards, clamping the boards securely against the heads,
'with thetongues in the anchor slots. a
At 12 is shown a twisted wire cable which may be employed. in place of bands 10, its strands being separated to receive the screws 1 and the washers providing broad bearings to prevent the wires from slipping 013? the screws. I V Before top screws are 'put'in', a band 13 is placed over each head w ith holes for A the top screws. Y In this manner afvery stout'box is proed, iron bound at every edge a d r-z;
exposed to wear and knocks the'parits' are reinforced by ron channels and anchored by tongues and slots; and the whole is tight- 1y drawntogether machine screws with to work loose with usel'asn-ails and wood screws do and which can be tightened again;
nuts in the iron channel, which are not apt if loose,-as nails cannot. Wood screws may r be tightened a few times, but soon wear out their holes with use and cannot be tightened further. But the machine screw, with nut in the channel, can be tightened so firmly it is not apt to become loose and can be retightened indefinitely.
The top bar 2 at each end, with spacers 3, provides a hand hold, which may have its edges rounded.
The heads may be made of stock a little thicker than the width of the channel iron and have its edges rabbeted to receive the channel iron, so that the iron surface is a little below the wood surface. In thisconstruction no nail, screw or bolt heads or other metal parts project toscratchor bruise the contents of the box.
A box so built, can be shipped knocked down and readily assembled by the merchant or user.
The invention is not intended to be limited to the particular form or any of the details shown or described, but is intended to embrace the scope of the following claims.
What is claimed is:
1. In a box or crate, the combination of heads; metal edges for the heads, having tongues extending outward; boards against against the heads.
2. In a box or crate, the combination of the heads having slots to receive the tongues;
the boards against theheads.
heads; channel iron edges for the heads, having tongues slit from them and bent outand having slots to receive. the tongues; bindings outside theboards; and bolts between the boards for drawing the bindings against the boards. 7
5. In a box or crate, the combination of each having a channel iron edge with tongues slit from it and bent outward; side and bottom boards, having slots to receive the tongues; and means for binding the boards against the heads.
6. In a box or crate, the combinationof two end heads comprising slats with spacers between them, providing vents and hand holds; an intermediate head; a channel iron edge for each head having tongues slit from it and bent outward; side and bottom boards around the heads, spaced apart and having slots to receive the tongues; bindings the heads, having slots to receive the tongues; and bands binding the boards heads; metal edges for the heads, having tongues extending outward; boards agalnst and wire cables binding the boards against 4. In a box or crate, the combination of two end heads and an intermediate head,.
surrounding the assembled heads and boards; and bolts between the boards, having nuts inside the channels, for drawing the bindings tight against the boards.
7 In a box or crate, the combination of two end heads having hand holds; an intermediate head; channel iron edges for bottom and sides of each head, having tongues extending outward; a band iron over the top of each head;-side and bottom boards around the heads, spaced apart and having slots .to receive the tongues; and bindings drawn tight by bolts between the boards, sothat the bolt heads are Within the general surface of the box.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signato receive the tongues; and bindings'h'olding r ward; boards against the heads, spaced apart 7
