tainers and, more particularly, to cartons made for blanks of paper board and the like.
According to a preferred form of the invention, a carton may be made up of a multilateral body portion with "detachable covers. The body preferably has a suflicient number of side walls to approximate a circle. The side Walls may be glued together and then 1 folded flat so that it can be shipped to the packer in flat condition. The covers may comprise flat bottom walls having multi-lateral side walls corresponding to the sides oi the body and may fit thereover.
According to a further preferred construction, if desired the covers may be used alone, one being made smaller than the other so that they telescope together.
As a further preferred construction, a cover may be used alone and a single or a plurality of bandsused to hold the articles in the cover. If desired, instead of using a cover with the bands, the body may be usedwith the bands alone. In some cases the bands themselves may be used to hold the articles, without cover or body.
Although the novel features which are believed to be characteristic of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the'claims appended hereto, the invention itself, as to its objects and advantages, the mode of its operation and the manner of its organization may be better understood by referring to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, in which Fig. lis a perspective of one form of container;

Fig. 11 is a perspective of a container having a short body and two bands around it; i
Fig. 12 is a section on the line 12-12 of Fig. 11; and
Fig. 13 is a perspective of the body shown in Fig. 11 folded fiat-after being glued.
In the following description and in the claims parts will be identified by specific names for convenience, but they are intended to be as generic in their application to similar parts as the art will permit.
Like reference characters denote like parts in the several figures of the drawings.
Referring now to the drawings and, more particularly to Figs. 1 to 6, the container comprises a relatively tall body 1 having top and bottom covers 4 telescoping thereover. The body 1 is made of a single blank of paper board suitably scored as indicated by the dot and dash lines. As illustrated, the blank has eight side walls 2 and a flap 3. The body is assembled by gluing the flap 3 to the remote side wall 2. Each cover 4 is made from a blank as illustrated in Fig. 6, the dot and dash lines representing scores. The blank comprises a bottom wall 5 having eight side walls 7 secured thereto, the side walls having flaps 8 disposed as illustrated. To assemble the cover, side walls 7 are bent at right angles to the bottom wall 5 and the flaps 8 are glued inside the adjoining side walls 7 as illustrated in Fig. 3. The covers 4 are made of such a size that they fit snugly over the body 1 and thus hold the body in assembled posit-ion. The body 1 may be glued at the box factory and shipped to the packer in fiat condition as illustrated in Fig. 4. The covers 4 may be glued at the box factory and shipped to the packer assembled as illustrated in Fig. 3 or they may be shipped flat and glued by the packer.
If desired, a container may be made utilizing merely a top and bottom cover, omitting the body entirely. This type of box is illustrated in Fig. 7, the top cover being denoted by 10 and the bottom cover by 11. The
top cover is made larger than the bottom cover and telescopes thereover. If desired,
one of the side walls of the top cover may have a finger notch 12 to facilitate opening of the box.
In some cases it may be desired to use a single cover such as shown in Fig. 9. This figure discloses a single cover 15, holding a stack of pie plates 17 and having a band of paper board passed around opposite fiat sides of the cover. The band 16 may be made of paper board and is suitably scored and the ends glued together before being applied to the cover. In Fig. 11, a short body is used to hold the pie plates 23, being assisted by a pair of bands 21 and 22 which may be of the same construction as the band 16 in Fig. 10. These bands are slipped over the body to the positions shown and, if desired, a drop of glue indicated by 18 may be placed between them at the points where they cross to assist friction in holding the bands onto the body.
It will be understood that if desired, a single band may be used in Fig. 11 and two or more bands may be used in Fig. 9.
In some cases it may be desired to omit the body 20 shown in Fig. 11 entirely and merel use the two bands 21 and 22 to hold the stac of pie plates 23.
The containers above described may be used for any of the purposes for which containers of this general type are usually employed. The box shown in Fig. lends itself for'use as a candy box, although of course it may be used for many other purposes. The containers illustrated in Figs. 9 and 11 lend themselves particularly well to hold stacks of paper pie plates or other paper dishes but it is obvious that they may be used also to hold other articles.
The great advantage of a container having a large number of side walls is that a box of large volume is provided with a comparatively small amount of material. It is well known that a circular container has more volume for the area ofthe side wall than a square or rectangular container. By increasing the number of side walls, the advantages of a circular construction are closely approximated. At the same time, the advantages of flat walls are maintained, as for instance the unique appearance and the adaptability, in the case of bodies 1' and 15, to being folded flat for shipment after they are glued. Furthermore, the containers above described are strong and are easily assembled.
In case circular articles are held in the octagonal boxes, such as illustrated in Figs. 9 and 11, the shape of the container assists in the removal of the articles by providing places where the finger may be inserted between them and the corners of the box.
In addition, the multi-lateral shape of the 6 covers allows the covers to be made in one piece which is not usually possible in the case of'a circular cover.
While certain novel features of the invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation may be made by those skilled in theart without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A polygonal shaped sectional container comprising a tubular body open at both ends, and a separable cover member for each of said ends, said cover member having a plurality of side wall extensions, one of said extensions having a tab portion at one end thereof and the adjacent extension having tab portions at both ends thereof, said body being collapsible so as to close into a flat position.
2. A polygonal shaped sectional container comprising a tubular body open at both ends, and a separable cover member for each of said ends, said body being collapsible so as to close into a flat position, said cover mem ber being of a shape to conform with said body, said cover member being composed of a single blank having extensions forming the side walls of said cover, one of said extensions having a tab portion, the next adjacent extension having a pair of tab portions and the next succeeding extension being without tab portions, said tab portions being arranged to be secured to an adjacent extension whereby said cover is retained in a set up condition.
3. A container of the class described comprising a member of polygonal shape composed of a blank having extensions forming the side walls of said member, one of said extensions having a securing tab at one end thereof and the next adjacent extension having a pair of securing tabs, said tabs being adapted to be adhesively secured to an adjacent extension whereby said member is retained in a set up condition, and said member either alone or with a companion member or members providing a container for merchandise.
4. A olygonal shaped container comprising a tu ular body open at both ends, a cover member for each of said ends, said cover member being made from a single blank having a plurality of extensions forming the side walls of said member, one of said extensions having a tab at one end thereof and the next adjacent extensions having a tab at each end thereof, said tabs being adapted to be secured to an adjacent extension to retain said member in set up condition.
5. An octa onal sha ed container comprising a tubular ody, an a cover member therefor, said cover member being formed from a blank having four pairs of extensions forming the side walls of said member, one pair 130 messes of said extensions having tab portions at each end thereof, two pairs of extensions having tab portions at one end thereof, and another pair of extensions being Without tab portions.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
