G. HARRINGTON.
WOODEN-Box.
N0. 191,235 Patented May 29,1877.
ZW 'Q7 maga/3422@ y UNITED STATES PATENT QEEIOE.
GEORGE HARRINGTON, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.-
IMPROVEMENT IN WOODEN BOXES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 191,236, dated May 29, 1877; application tiled February 14, 1877.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE HARRINGTON, of Springfield, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Box, of which the fol lowing is a specification:
My invention consists in forming the top and bottom of a Wooden box, having cylindrical sides, of blocks of Wood having grooves turned Or sunk in them to receive the Wall of the box, so that While one serving for the bottom has the wall seated in its groove and permanently secured there by glue or otherwise, the other makes a top in which thel double walls forming the sides of the groove form friction-surfaces that come against the Wall to retain the top in place, and this groove permits a variation in size and departure from a perfectly smooth and regular form in the elastic wall of the box by bearing against the inside surface of the Wall of the box where it does not bear against its outside.
The object of my invention is the construction of a box for such light articles as collars, culi's, Ste., in which the sides made ot' Wood approximating in thickness to a veneer cannot be reduced in size to be linished or litted When once formed. Such boxes require a thicker' top to make of them asuccess that Will act as aformer to hold them to a cylindrical shape as well as accommodate itself to any Wall having the same superficial extent.
In Figure l a perspective view is shown of a box with the cover removed. Fig. II shows a plan view of the underneath side of the top and the groove therein, Fig. III being a plan view of a wall.
The bottom B, being a counterpart of the top O, receives the round Wall W of the box in the circular groove b, which, in practice, I make about one-fourth of an inch in depth, where it is secured additionally by glue, if desired.
The groove b is made Wide enough to re ceive the wall, should it be atteued, and, as before mentioned, Where one side ot' the groove fails to bear continuously against one side of the wall, the other side of the groove nds a bearing, and a top is thus provided that lls admirably the special requirements of a wall so thin as to be easily distorted, as Well as one that, while it can be turned with the greatest uniformity; this enables the Wall to be made so cheaply that the entire box can be made for One-half of the cost that would result from having to fit the parts with the usual degree of accuracy required in box-making.
Now, having described my invention, what I claim is- In combination with the compressible and elastic wall W of a cylindrical wooden box, the top or bottom provided with the circular groovebtnrned therein for receiving and binding the said wall when sprung into the groove,
as set forth.
