VThis inventionv relates to cartons end inore particularly to containers adapted V'for use in ,sliippingliquids `in glass receptzieles. Y
Liquids .such as trible wete/rs, soft drinks and the like are usually shipped in containers of wood having a plurality ot cells or coni- Dzirt'nients to receive the bottles.

Containers et corrugated or fibre board single bottles have been used liei.etoi"oie but no satisfactory Vmultiple i container adapted to hold fand to eiirrya plurality.Yoljbottles safely under the conditionsv of parcel' post transport-ation lies been available'heretofore lt is the object ot the present invention to provide a siinple, light end inexpensive nent-einer Wlii'elifwill hold :i pl ,":ili'ty of bott es containing liquids lirnily `and secure'- and will insure the sate transportation y thereof, zittordiii :it the saine tiine sueient capacity tonbsorb 'the liquid of one or more oi the bottles .nould tiny be broken iii transit ivi'tiiout permitting disintegration of 'the' Y Coiiteiner. i
so disposed es to forni the outer Wells o' in carrying out the invention I provide a container i eiferebly rectangular in forni of i 'iv suitiiliile light :uul'strong iiiiiterizil siieli :is corrugated or fibre board. lie receptdcle is provided, conveniently, with ilu-ps zit the 'top und bottoni which are adapted to be Afolded ver eiicli other`r the outer 'flaps incetiiig :it their edges so that tlie receptacle can be sealed by ineens ot adhesive tope. lNitli` in and :it the bottoni et tlie 'resent-nele l prf vide e layer ot resilient material,'preterziblyV Corrugated board, upon which the bottles rest, und longitudinal and transverse pertitions forming cells tor the bottles. At the' sides und ends of the Cont-einer layers of re' silient niziteral suoli as corrugated board are u le contiguous Cells, forming effective cushions to limit the `forceV of blows delivered on the sides :ind ends of the container'. At the top I prov'de a sheet of 'resilient material such :is corrugated board Wliieliis adapted to reston the tops of the bottles in the Cells' be- Sueli coiil' niers iire lie-ivy Lindj because they are ex liv :reference to 'thevv accompanying drewi O brok-en mv ay sliovving the container y rizil. The flaps 8 and l0 are adapted-to overnes'tlitlie `folded Thus the bottles in the Cells :ire completelysurroundedfby cusliioiiing niete'riztl in additionto the Vvvefils'ot` tlie container. Preferably the 4dimensions of the Container :ire suoli that when the bottles :ire placed in the Cellsy the overlying sheet must b'e'pressed downwardly before tlielleps ere closed.)L This -llorees the tops of 'the vbotL tles slightly into ythe resilient surface of theV overlying' sheet andA firmly anchors esuli bottle in its eell.'
The invention -Will be Abetter understood ALD ii istrzitiiig the preferred embodiment in Wliicli'- ".7

A sheet 19 of cushioning material is disposed over the tops of the bottles beneath the flaps 10 and `11. As indicated more clearly in Fig. 5, this sheet is pressed downwardly upon the tops of the bottlesl so that depressions are formed in which the tops are held by the overlying iiaps when'the container is closed. Preferably the dimensions of the container are such that the sheet 19 must be pressed downwardly before the iaps 10 and 1,1 are closed and sealed, thus insuring that the bottles are gripped rmly between the sheets 13 and 19 with the top of the bottles locked againstlateral movement by the depressions in the sheet 19.
Containers for any number ofbottles up.
to twenty-four` `or evenfmore may be made in accordance with the invention as described. The bottles and the liquid contents can be shipped with assurance against breakage under all normal and many otherwisehazardous conditions. The bottles are cushioned on all sides and. unless the container is subjected to impact or crushing forces of unusual severity there is no `chance thatany bottle willbe broken. However, if one or more bottles should be broken the cushioning material at `the sides and bottom and the partitions forming the .cells will readily absorb the liquid before it has a chance to soak into and weaken the outer walls of the container. Containers made inaccordance with the in- 'vention have been subjected to severe tests by blows much heavier than any to which i,917,3se
they would be subjected in normal use. In those instances when breakage of the bottles occurred the liquid did not escape through or materially weaken'the outer Walls. The tests demonstrated the thorough practica-bility and advantages of the container and resulted in a ruling of the United States Post Oiiice Department permitting shipment of liquids therein by parcel post.
Various changes may be made in the details of construction and arrangement of the parts without departingfrom the .invention or sacriiicing any of the advantages thereof. I claim: A shipping container for receptacles containing liquids comprising sides and' ends Jformed from a single sheet ot Alight strong material with-integral iiaps forming when closed the bottomv and/top of the container,
sheets of cushioning material at the bottom` and sides within the container, partitions forming cells within the container and a sheet kof cushioning material loosely disposed above the partitions and beneath the flaps forming 7 the closure at the top of the container, the latter sheet having a thickness greater than. the distance between the top of the partitions and the inside top of thek container, whereby said v'sheet has to be forced down uponthe tops of the bottles asthe top iiaps are folded into closedposition, thereby forming indentations in the -sheet into which vthe topsV ofV the bottles are received and securely anchored and means for sealing the flaps.
In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature.
GEORGE FRANCIS HOGAN.
