IMPROVEMENT IN HONEY-BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,900, dated January 30, 1877; application filed August 5, 1876. V
v tion of a perspective View of my honey-box,
and Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views of the same.
This'invention relates to honey-boxes; and
Vit consists in corner standards constructed with double longitudinal grooves, for receiving and securing the glass plates which form the sides and ends of said boxes.
In the annexed drawings, A designates a top piece, and B a bottom piece, both preferably constructed of wood, and perforated or slotted at each corner at b b. Bottom pieeeB is also provided with two longitudinal slots, B B', which are large enough to allow the ingress and egress ofthe bees as they build the combs and deposit the honey. C O are glass plates, of rectangular shape, which constitute the sides and' ends of the box. D D arelmetal standards or corner-pieces, which clamp said side plates, end plates, bottom piece, and top piece together. Each of said standards consists of a long plate of sheet metal, having one. side bent into a longitudinal ange, d, at right angles to the main part of said plate, and also having its other side (bent on the same face of said plate) bent first back parallel with the main part of said plate at d1, then forward in a flange, d2, parallel to flange d, and then again in a flange, d3, parallel to d1 and the main part of said' plate, thus producing two channels or longitudinal recesses, d4 d5, which are at right angles to one another. Into said channels set glass platesGG. Said standards are also provided with extensions D, which pass up and down through perforations or slots b bin top piece A and bottom piece B. Said extensions are then bent down into recesses in the outside of said top and bottom pieces, so as to lock them together, and the box is complete.
Instead ofange d, I may use on one or more of the standards small pointed ears d6, which answer the same purpose.
'Ihe above-described construction allows the box to be easily taken to pieces for the extraction ofthe honey, but keeps it firmly secured against casual displacement of the parts.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
`l. 'As an article ot' manufacture, corner piece or standard D, having two longitudinal channels, d4 d5, which are at right angles to one another, and extensions D', substantially as set forth.
2. rlhe standards D, having end extensions D and longitudinal channels d4 d5. in combination with top piece A, bottom piece B, and glass plates G, constructed substantially. as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
