HENRY maaium. 0F ASSTGNOB To an m DECORATING COMPANY 01' BALTIIORE, O1 JERSEY BALTIIOBE, mm, A. CORPORATION 01 m nwvmron sum Application fled lay a, 1m. Serial no. mass;
My invention relates to improvements in provision safes.
An important object of the invention 1s to provide a safe for the transportation and storage of foodproducts, such as cake, comprising a. base and a cover constructed and arranged to afford a tight closure to rotect the contents from atmospheric con 'tions, and to prevent the entrance of insects and dust to the interior of the safe without employin any collateral or extraneous sealing means between the cover and base.
Another object of the invention is to provide a safe of the above character in which the closure is effected simply by applying the cover on the base, and in which the means forming the tight closure also facilitate the application of the cover to the base.
Another object of the invention is to provide in a safe of the above character, complemental fastening elements on the cover and base to maintain the tight closure and to prevent accidental displacement of the cover.
Another object of the invention is to provide complemental fastening means for the above purpose so arranged and constructed as to become effective automatically upon application of the cover to the base.
Another object of the invention is to provide provision safes for the transportation and storage of food constructed so that they can be compactly and neatly stacked.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the following detail description of the accompanying drawings wherein are shown preferred embodiments of the invention and in which,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a food safe with the cover and base assembled;
- Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the safe shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing one form of fastening means;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary elevation of the fastening means shown in Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 showing a modification; and
Fig. 6 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the safe shown in Fig. 5.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 10 designates the base comprising a tray like structure having an article supporting surface 11 and there-around a groove or channel 12 defined by the spaced substantially parallel walls 13 and 14 connected by a horizontally disposed. portion 15 which rests on a table-or other support. The outer wall 14 extends upwardl to a oint substantially in alinement with t e sur ace 11 and then is flared or bent downwardly and outwardly formin an annular flange 16 which terminates a ove the portion 15.
The cover comprises a top. disc 17 which is indented at 18 to form a depression in which is provided a central openin 19 to receive the shank of the handle 20. lange 21 is bent around the edges of the opening 19 to secure the handle in place. The handle is in the form of a knob, the top surface of which is substantially flush with the top surface of the cover so that the safes may be compactly and neatly stacked one on top of the other. The cover also includes the side walls 22 which are secured to the disc 17 at their top by the interlocking-flanges 23, it being understood that the cover corresponds to the configuration or shape of the base 11 so that the lower portion of the side walls 22 may be disposed in the channel 12 in a particular manner to be hereinafter explained. The side walls may be of any height and at their lower end are provided with a head 24 formed by bending the lower end of the walls inwardly, and above the bead 24 at a distance therefrom corresponding to the approximate depth of the channel 12 a second bead 25 is formed by bending a portion of the wall 22 preferably outwardly, or in a direction facing oppositely to the head 24.
Referring to Fig. 3, it will be noted that the beads 24 and 25 contact the confronting inner surfaces of the walls 13 and 14 in opposite directions and the part 26 of wall 22 between the beads 24 and 25 is disposed between and in spaced relation to the walls 13 and 14 while the bead 24 rests on the portion 15. It should be obvious that in this manner the safe is tightly sealed against entrance of insects, dust, or the atmosphere. The walls 13 and 14 and the bead 25 and part 26 .have a de e of resiliency facilitating the closure and the cover is applied to the base the head 24 will first enter the top of the channel 12 and move freely downwardly therein and as the outer edge of the bead reaches the top of the wall 14 it will be brought into ti ht engagement with the edge of the wall w ile the bead 24 will contact the walls 13 and 15.
I have shown complemcntal fastening 'means on the base and cover to maintain the parts in assembled relation against accidental displacement. These fastenin elements may be of the character shown in Figs. 1-4
15 wherein a hook 'or has 27 is pivotally mounted on a pin 28. As s hown in Fig. 4, a portion 29 of the flange is bent downwardly between slits in the flange 16 and portions 30 are bent upwardly on opposite s1des of the 80 slits. The pin 28 is d sposed beneath the portions 30 while the hasp is swingably disposed a ainst the portion 29. Studs 31 are carried y the wall 22 of the cover at a predetermined distance for engagement by openings 32 in the hasp 27 so that when the cover is applied to the base as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hasps 27 are swung up over the studs 31 to hold the parts in assembled relation, and enforcing the closure above de- 80 scribed.
In Figs. 5 and 6, I have shown a provision safe similar to that shown in Figs. 1-4 and described above except that the flanges 35 on the base are spaced from'the bottom of the 5 base and are disposed at an angle assuring engagement thereover by the resilient fastening elements 36 which are rigidly secured to the cover as b rivets 37, and which are curved outwardly tlierefrom and beaded at their 40 lower ends as at 38. Under this construction when the cover is applied to the base with the beads on the walls of the cover engaging in the groove of the base, the beads 38 will automatically move out across the top of the flange 35, and, due to the resiliency of the material of which the elements 36 are formed, will snap inwardly under the lower edge of the flange 35 as shown in Fig. 6 to hold the cover and base in assembled relation.
It should be apparent from the foregoing that it is not necessary to employ any collateral or extraneous sealing means between the cover and'base to prevent entrance of insects or dust and to protect the contents from atmospheric conditions, as the contact be-' tween the outer surface of the bead 25 and the inner upper surface of the wall of the roove, as well as the contact between the ower bead and the inner wall of the groove is amply sufiicient to provide a tight closure which becomes effective merely upon placing of the cover on the base.
I claim: 1. A provision safe comprising a base having a groove defined by oppositely disposed walls adjacent its edge, a cover 0 'tel disposed beads on said cover ddjm iti lower edge and in s aced relationto each other for contact wit the inner surfaces of the opposite walls of the groove.
2.. A provision safe comprising a ing a groove adjacent its outer edge defined by spaced substantiall parallel walls, a cover and beads formed ad acent the lower edg of the cover on opposite sides of the cover in spaced relation to each other, the beads being spaced a distance substantially ual to the depth of the oove for contact with the inner surfaces 0 the opposite walls of the groove when the cover is applied to the base.
3. A provision safe comprising a sheet metal base having an annular groove formed adjacent the rim thereof by spaced substantially vertical walls, a sheet metal cover having its lower end formed to fit within the groove, and a bead around the cover in spaced relation to the lower end thereof in osition to partially enter the groove and ma e close contact with the surface of one of the walls thereof when the lower end of the cover is disposed in the groove.
4. A provision safe comprisingla base having a (groove adjacent its outer e ge, a cover, a bea formed on the wall of the cover in spaced relation to the lower edge thereof for contact with one of the walls of the groove when the lower edge of the cover is placed in the groove, and com lemental fastening elements on the cover and base engageable to hold the cover on the base with the lower edge in the groove and the bead contacting said wall.
5. A provision safe comprising a base having a groove formed adjacent the edges thereof by spaced substantially'vertical walls, a cover having its lower end formed to fit Within the groove, a bead around the cover in spaced relation to the lower end thereof in position to partially enter the groove in con-' tact with the surface of one of the walls thereof when the lower end of the cover is disposed in the groove, a flange rojecting outwardly from said groove, and fastening elements on the cover automatically engageable over saidflange when said bead enters said groove.
- 6. A provision safe com risin a sheet metal base having a groove efine b oppositely disposed walls adjacent its e ge the outer wall extending outwardly to provi e an annular flange surrounding and terminating above the plane of the bottom wall of the groove, a sheet metal cover, oppositely disposed beads on said cover adjacent its lower base havedge and in spaced relation to each other for contact with the inner surface of the opposite walls of the oove.
