space and still provide for the necessary ventilation.
A further object is to provide a package that may be'fabricated of fibrous boxboard products, wood, metal or other suitable material possessing the required strength while at the same time being comparatively light in weight and so constructed as to facilitate the handling of the package. Other objects and advantages will appear as the description progresses.
In this specification. and the accompanyingdrawings the invention is disclosed in its preferred form. But it is to be understood that it is not limited to this form because it may be -embodied in other forms.
It is, also to be understood that in and by the claims following the description it is desired to cover the invention in whatsoever form it may be embodied.
In the two sheets of drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view of a plurality of packages constructed and stacked in accordance with this invention; only one of the packages showing details of the ventilating openings through the walls of the package.
Figure 2 is a plan view of one of the packa es.
Figure 3 is a vertical section of the lower section of the package.
Figure 4L isa view similar to Figure 1, showing the stack in side elevation, with only one package shown provided with the ventilating openings.
Figure 5 is an endview of the same, with merely the top row of packages shown pro vided with the ventilating openings in the ends.
? Figure 6 is a plan View from above of the lower section, showing the supporting partitions the-rein. I I V Figure 7 is an enlargedfragmentary detail looking into the corner of one of the sectionsof the package.
The complete package comprises upper and lower telescoping sections which, when comparatively large and when shipping certain commodities, is preferably provided with aninterposed partition. It is p'refera-, bly formed of stiff fiber board, although it is apparent that wood, veneer, metal or othersuitable material may be employed. Each section, as is apparent, may be formed of a single blank if desired with the overlapping portionsat the corners, glued or secured by staples, or both. In the particular exemplification, the outer sides 10 are shown made continuous.
The lower and upper sections A and B respectively, are similar in construction and vary only in the sizes necessary to permit them to telescope one within the other. It
is deemed sufficient, therefore, to describe but one section in detail.
The flatbottom or top 1, is properly cut at the four corners and scored so thatthe lateral: marginal portions may be bent at an angle to the'plane 1, to-form the beveled sides and corners 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, merging into the perpendicular side walls 10. The edges of the various cut away portions at the four corners 6, 7, 8, 9 are overlapped and fixed to each other, to form the open traylike lower and upper sections, A, B, of the package. j 1
The various fiat planes such as 1, '2, 3, 4, 5 Y and preferably the beveled or outwardly sloping'margin'alportions are to be provided with the perforations or ventilating slots or openings as in the drawings. If the wall 10 of the upper section B is made shorter as at 14;, Figure 4, perforations or ventilating slots or openings may also'be placed in the vertical side wall 10.
In cutting the blanks it is preferable to form the corners so that they join the bot tom or top 1 as shown at 15, Figure 7 This facilitates fabrication in a smoothworkmanlike mannerat this point.
When used individually, the package formed of the lower and upper sections A, B, is sufficiently strong to sustain the weight of the contents. But when to be stacked one upon another and the packages are comparatively large, it is advisable to include the transverse partitions 16, 17,, to sustain the superimposed load.
The preferred proportions for the package I are shown in Figure 5. It is preferably about square in plan, say 16X 17 inches, six inches deep, with side walls 10 about inches high. The corners should be beveled'at' an angle of about 4:5 degrees. These proportions are.-
merely suggestive and will be governed by economical considerations inucutting from standard stock sizes of fiber sheets-orother suitable material, the general dimensions of shipping vehicles, and storage spaces,qand trade preferences as to quantity per package.
Reference to Figures 1, l, 5 will vdisclose the horizontal and "vertical avenues tor-free ventilation around each package when stacked, formed by the beveled or outwardly, sloping marginal portions intermediate of the flat bottom, or top as the case-may be,
and the vertical sides of eachrpackage, It
is apparent with my improved shipping package, when stacked one upon the other and when arranged in contacting vertical rows, that the beveled oroutwardly sloping marginal portions intermediate of the flat bottom and vertical side walls of the lower: section and intermediate of the flat etop and vertical side walls of theupper cover section of each package, wlll provlde hor1zon tal spaces or avenues. Thesespaces-or. ave:
nues extend lengthwise of and intermediate of the rows,-wh1le certain spacesor avenues extend transversely of the firstymentioned avenues; and vertical spaces oravenuesare also provided at each corner of the packages, with the resultthat free circulation, of 'air is obtained around all four-sides of each package. Withthe beveled or outwardly sloping marginal portions of the bottom 1 and the top of each package provided with the perforations or slots asshown in t-he drawings, the air is thus also permitted to freely circulate through each package and-- proper ventilation for the commodities pro-r vided, which is especially essentialin the shipment of grapes and the like.
One of the primary advantages of the .in-, vention is that freight cars canbe: packed solid from end to end and side to-side, so
as to leave the maximum space between the 1 root and the load toprovide atmospheric i'n-, sulation against roofheat, without sacrificing the carrying capacity of the car. This overcomes one of the serious disadvantages of a load of the presentflat sided fruit boxes,
which must be interspaced and braced. in a skilltulmanner to prevent wreckingtthe time does not provide the proper ventilation.
Further advantages of this invention are attractiveness, ease of handling, individualtions, and outwardly sloping marginal por tions .'.inter-mediate of-xthe i main portion and thevside,-end and corner portions 2. A shipping package comprising an upper and a lower section adapted to telescope with each other, each section having a main that portion, vertical. side and-:end-
portions,. the side and end. :portionsbeing united by non-right angular verticallyv disl posed corner portions, the side,end and cor-- ner=port1ons being united withthe main portion byirinwardly sloping marginal por tions.
3. A shipping packagecomprisin'g-a bot- 1 tom section and a cover section 'adapted to telescopeiwith'each other, each sectionhaving a main flat portion, verticalside, end and 7 corner portions, and sloping marginal por--- tions intermediateot the main, side, end and l corner portions, the marginal portions being provided with air-admitting openings.
4.: A .shippingpackage comprising an 'up-- per and a lower section adapted to have telescopic-relation, each: section consisting ofa fiat :mainportion, outwardly sloping marginal portions terminating n-eight verticallydisposedi side portions In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 15th dayofAugust, A: D. 1928.
