ATTORNEY Patented Mar. 6, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT Application April 8, 1933, Serial No. 665,049
9 Claims.
My invention relates to a package and more particularly to an improved package adapted for use in connection with the packaging of merchandise contained in bottles, such as inks, showcard colors, etc. It is particularly adaptable to any package in which it is desired to maintain a plurality of bottles in the package in an upright position in a manner to permit ready access to the contents of the bottle without removal of the bottle from the package.
In the particular embodiment here shown my invention is shown as applied to a childs paint set in which a number of liquid colors are placed in a plurality of bottles which are maintained 5 in the package embodying my invention.
The sale of merchandise in small bottles is highly desirable in a large number of classes of merchandise. Frequently, also, it is desirable to sell a plurality of such bottles in a single packgg age. Prior to my invention such packages have not been desirable from the standpoint of the customer or user of the merchandise contained in the bottles, because of the difiiculty of removing the stoppers from the bottles and the maintaining of the bottles in an upright position; It also has been found with such merchandise, particularly with childrens paint sets in which liquid colors are sold'in a plurality of small bottles. that it is difiicult to maintain the bottles in an upright position during use due, many times, to the unevenness of the surface upon which the bottles are to be used and due also to the relative smallness of the bottoms of the bottles com 5 monly employed in sets of this type.
It is, therefore, an object of my present invention to provide a package particularly adapted for the packaging of merchandise contained in a plurality of bottles and in which the bottles are securely held in an upright position at all times.
It is a further object of my present invention to provide a package in which a plurality of bottles are so held in an upright position that the stoppers or caps thereof may be removed without removing the bottles from the package and without requiring a manual holding of the bottles.
These and various other objects, features of arrangement, construction and operation, are plainly shown and described and will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which: I
Fig. 1 is a top plan view with a portion of the cover broken away showing a package embodying my invention adapted for use as a paint set;
Fig. 2 is a staggered sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring more in detail to the drawing, 10 designates the bottom portion of a box of conventional design on which is placed a telescoping cover 11, also of conventional design. A plurality of bottles 12 contain the merchandise to be sold. The depth of the box 10 is proportioned to the heighth of the bottles 12 in such a manner that when the telescoping cover portion 11 in place to close the box, it contacts with the top of the plurality of caps 13 secured to the plurality of bottles 12 (Figs. 2 and 3).
Placed in the bottom portion 10 of the box is a partition 14. A plurality of openings of suitable size and shape corresponding to the size and shape of the bottles 12 to be contained therein is pro vided in the partition 14. Each of the plurality of bottles 12 is provided with locking means 15 and 16 formed as an integral part of the bottle 12. The openings in the partition 14 are so arranged that the partition 14 extends to the surface of the bottle 12 at a point between the locking means 15 and the locking means 16 integral with the body of the bottles 12.
In the particular adaptation here shown, a plurality of pans 17 also are provided and are pressed through suitable openings in the partition member 14.
In assembling a package embodying my invention, each of the bottles 12 is filled with the merchandise to be sold therein and is then forced through the openings in the partition 14 with a distortion of the partition 14. The partition 14 is formed preferably of cardboard or similar material so that it will yield slightly as the locking means 16 is forced downwardly through the opening provided in the partition 14. The material employed to form the partition 14 should be of sufficient resiliency to restore itself to its normal position so that the edges of the opening in the partition 14 will engage the bottle 12 at a point betwen the locking means 15 and the lock ing means 16.
A package embodying my invention thus makes available to the user the contents of any one of the plurality of bottles packed therein Without affecting the accessibility of any other bottle in the package. The construction of the partition member 14 cooperating with the locking means 15 and 16 serves to maintain the bottles 12 in a predetermined upright position in the package. By providing a bottle of a shape other than circular as here shown, it is possible to remove any one of the screw caps 13 from any one of the plurality of bottles 12 without turning the bottle in the package and without removal of the bottle from the package.
A package embodying my invention also facilitates the shipping of merchandise packed in a plurality of small containers, particularly when arranged in the package as shown in the embodiment of my invention set forth in the drawing and described in this specification. The cover 11, telescoping over the bottom portion 10, contacts with the plurality of caps 13 on the plurality of bottles 12 and serves to prevent loosening of the caps on any of the bottles contained there- While I have illustrated a preferred embodiment of my invention, many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and I do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of all changeswithin the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A package for a paint set or the like comprising a box having a flat bottom, a spacer partition sheet supported in the box in spaced relation above said bottom and substantially parallel thereto, said sheet having a rectilinear opening therein, a rectilinear bottle adapted to extend through said opening and having opposed vertical sides engaging the opposed side edges of the opening, and parallel horizontal ribs projecting outwardly from said sides and engaging opposite faces of the partition sheet along said edges to resist tilting movement of the bottle when supported within said opening.
