Description
Aug. 22, J N A|NSL|E BERRY BOX Filed July .13, 1931 Allorney Patented Aug. 22, 1933 lTED STATES BERRY BOX John N. Ainslie, Spokane, Wash. Application July 13, 1931. Serial No. 550,425
2 Claims.
tures of the box is the means whereby the bottom is supported atall of its side edges in order to maintain it at a constant level and prevent the bottom from sagging under the weight of the contents of the box. Due to the fact that the box-bottom is supported .in this manner, the contents of the box, (as berries) are also maintained against dilapidated appearance, and the shape of the pile of berries in the box is preserved.
The invention consists in certain novel combinations and arrangements of parts as will hereinafter be more fully set forth and claimed; In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated a two-piece box exemplifying the physical embodiment of my invention, in which the parts are combined and arranged according to the best modes I have so far devised for the practical application of the principles of my invention. But it will be understood that changes and alterations may be made in the exemplified structures, within the scope of my claims without departing from the principles of my invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a berry box fashioned from a two-piece blank and embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the blank forming parts of the sides of the box.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the blank forming the bottom and parts of the sides of the box, one of the side walls being folded down. In the drawing I have illustrated the box as of open top, and rectangular shape, and in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the bottom 1, which is square, is fashioned with parallel slots 2, 2, for ventilation of the interior of the box and circulation of air through the pile of berries contained therein.
The bottom is fashioned with four side-walls as 3, 4, 5, 6, that may readily be bent up from the bottom at the scored lines '7, and the ends 8 of the side-Walls are preferably cut-away to form V-shape corners that facilitate folding of the parts and fashioning of the box.
At two opposite edges of the bottom; are fashioned horizontal slots 9, 9, and the material cut from these slots is fashioned as laterally projecting lips 10, 10, the lips forming extensions of the bottom and flush with the plane of co, the bottom. Preferably alined with these lips, and located above them in the two side walls 3, 5, are fashioned semi-circular tongues ,11, 11, that are cut from the material, and leave complementary openings 12,12. These tongues 11, c5 11, are employed at the exterior sides of the two side- walls 3 and 5, and their free edges, as shown, project downwardly.
The oppositely arranged pair of side-walls 4 I and 6 are provided with horizontal slits as, 13 located above the horizontal center of the sidewalls, and parallel with the upper edges .of these side-walls. r H A i V These side- walls 3, 4, 5, and 6, integral with the bottom 1 of the box form the inner thicknesses of a double-wall for the box, and the outer thicknesses of the double wall are fashioned from another blank that comprises the four sections 14, 15, 16, 1'7, and an end tab 18, the blank being scored at 19 to facilitate 80,
the folding of these outer side walls.
The outer walls, when folded around the inner walls, provide a double side-structure for the box which insures lightness in weight combined with the required strength for sustaining the 8 box in its proper shape when filled with berries, and the parts of the double wall are securely fastened together and to the bottom of the box to preserve its shape.
As best seen in Figure 2 the side- walls 15 and 17 are provided with horizontal slots 20, 20 that are elevated above the bottom edges of these walls, and these slots are designed to receive the lips 10, 10 of the inner- walls 3 and 5. As seen in Figure 1 the lips project through the slots to the exterior sides of the box and they look the bottom to the sides in a plane slightly elevated above the lower edges of the double walls of the completed box. This elevation of the bottom not only provides for circulation of air through the slots 2, 2, but the arrangement provides lateral bracing for the bottom which is suspended and supported in the box.
Above the slots 20 are arranged the upper horizontal slots 21, 21 in the outer-walls 15 and 1'7, and these slots are arranged to receive the tongues 11, the latter being passed outwardly through the slots and turned inwardly snug against the exterior face of each outer wall, as indicated in Figure 1. Y I
The two outer- wall sections 14 and 16 are each provided with edge- tongues 22, 22, fashioned by cutting spaced notches 23, 23 in the upper edges of the sections, and these edgetongues are bent inwardly and passed upwardly through the complementary slots 13, 13 of the inner side walls 4 and 6, asindicated in Figure 1.
The outer walls 14, 15, 16, 17 form a band around ithe box, and at its 'ends this band is fastened by means of the vertical tongue 24 in the extension tab 18 that is passed through the vertical slot 25 near the end of the v/all'14.
As thus fashioned the box is formed with :an elevated bottom and inner wall sections, bound together by the folded band forming the exterior thickness of the double Wall, to brace,
sustain, and support the related parts, and each of the complementary pairs of inner and outer wall sections are fastened together againstfiieplacement and to provide a comparatively rigid bottom-and side wall structure forth'e "receptacle;
F'rom the above :description taken in connection-=with my drawing "it will be apparent wth'at various changes and :alterations .may be made in the exemplified structures "whereby the elevated bottom *may' be supported at its four edges from the double-wall body 0f the box, and of course changes may be made in the locking or fastening *lips and tongues and complementary slots, all within the scope of 'my claimsrwithout departing -*from the principles -:of my :invention. I g I The materiail from which the blanks are fashioned are :preferably ocated with -a fine :or thin film of paraffin,*whio'h on the interior :of the box prevents absorption in the box df moisture I paraffin renders the box waterproof or moisture proof from the exterior, and also tends to stiffen the pieces of cardboard of which the box is fashioned. After the box has been used and is emptied it may be disposed of as trash, in an incinerator or domestic furnace or stove, and the coating or film of paraffin aids in the consumption of the material.
Having thusfully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a berry box of the two-piece, folded blank type, the combination with a bottom .section having four integral upright side sections forming an entire inner Wall, of an en- .fo'lding band comprising four integral sections and forming an entire outer wall, two opposed sections "of the band each having a tongue and complementary spaced notches in its upper edge, said inner wall having complementary horizontal slots to receive :said tongues, an extension on one end of said band and a tongue integral therewith, and said band having a vertical slot near its otherendto receive said tongue whereby the latter is enclosed: between the inner and outer walls.
2. In a berry .box of the two-piece, folded blank the combination with a bottom having four :integral upright side sections forming an entire inner wall, *of :an Lenfolding band comprising four integral sections and forming .an entire outer wall, ztwo opposed sections of the band each having a tongue .and complementary spaced notches in .its upper edgasaid inner wall having complementary horizontal :slots to .receive said tongues, and means for fastening .together the ends of the eni'olding band.
