I I I To avoidspreading of the center seam and bulging "of the' end memb'ers 4 incident to *overpacking of the boxes or fi1es,anti spreadingdevices are applied to eachend and both being exactly alike hence one only is shown "and described and which is I11 1nibered"gen'-. era lly: 2,5: This anti-spreader consists of a smallplat eof thin metal 26 having anopen-I "ing27 to fit over the stud 20as shown clearly in'Fig. 2. This plate 26 also has a transverselyextendingopening or slot28. A strip of I "thin 'metal or 'stron g cloth 29 is looped-P9 7 through the slot 28' and secured by stitching the full lenr th of :the box or onlya part to be overlapped by the seam closing strip when the flaps 2 and 3' areclosed.
' In the use of this closure when flap 2 is shut down as shown-in Fig. 2 the end of the plate 26 is engaged with the stud before the fastener member 16 is snapped over said I stud. The flap. 3 is then shut down and the I flap fastener socket l8 engagedwith the stud 20 at each end of the box which will securely hold the box closed and'the contents efiective ly protected I l T i i I 'i To open the box the projecting end of the strip 16 is grasped by the fingers of the user" and lifted to release the socket from the stud a 20, it being of course understood that this aoperation is carried out at both ends of the i box and the flap 3 may be then raised to afiford access to ,the interior. ,7 I open flap 2 the plate 26 is disengaged from well known manner.
If desired to stud 20' and this flap may. be opened up in a I/Vithout furtherdescription it is'thought I that the features and advantages of'the in- Yvention will be readilyapparent to those skilled ,inthe art, and it will, of course be understood that changes in the form, propor- :tion and minor details of construction may I be resorted-to, without departing from the spirit of the invention or its scope as claimed. r I
