Description
W 9 J. J. HENZE ZMHAM SHIPPING CRATE Filed June 5, 1933 &
INVENTOR ATTO RN EY$ Patented Sept. 3, 1935 UHTED STTES NT QFFIQE 2 Claims.
The present invention pertains to a novel box or crate and has particular reference to that class of shipping box or crate that is constructed of wood slats and reinforced by interlaced wires and by corner gussets.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a box or crate that may be conveniently piled one on top of another in tiers that are regular and not easily knocked down. Each box has projecting members provided on the bottom thereof to serve as sliding bars by means of which the box may be slipped along a supporting surface and each box is provided with definitely arranged recesses and corner gussets that receive said slide bars when one box is placed on top of another to retain the boxes in a position where one lies directly on top of the other in a manner whereby the upper box cannot be slipped off the top of the lower box without first raising the former vertically so that the ends, or one of the ends, of the slide bars are clear of the gussets and recesses.
With the above and other ends in view the invention consists in matters hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the present box, partly broken away and in cross section;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of two boxes piled one on top of the other; 7
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary top plan of one of the boxes, and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrative of the corner construction.
Like characters of reference are employed throughout to designate corresponding parts.
The present boxes are constructed with side panels I, end panels 2 and a bottom 3 which are secured together by nails, rivets or bolts in the manner well known to the art. In the present illustration the boxes are of the wood slat construction and reinforced by interlaced wires 4.
The side panels l are provided with lower rails it and the end panels are provided with lower rails H and the bottom slats 3 are secured between these lower rails. Slide bars I2 are secured to the bottom 3, there preferably being three such bars provided. The outside bars are secured so that they lie flush with the outside faces of the side rails it and therefore parallel thereto and extending entirely across the bottom of the box so that the ends thereof lie flush with the outside faces of the bottom end rails H. A central slide bar it is provided and is secured to the bottom 3 in parallel relation to the slide bars l with its ends terminating flush with the inside surface of the bottom end rails l I.
Each of the top end rails 6 are provided with notches M of a width corresponding to the width of the slide bars l2 and of a depth corresponding to the thickness of the bars 52. The distance at which the top edge 9 of the upper side rail it lies beneath the upper edge of the gussets 6 is approximately the same as the depth of the notches Each of the upper end rails 6 are provided with cut-away portions l5 that serve as grasping means by which the box may be conveniently handled.
When the boxes are piled one upon another the slide bars I 2 on the bottom of the upper box rest upon the top edges 9 of the upper side rails 5, the ends of the slide bars being received in the notches i i in the end rails 6 and butting against the inside surfaces of the gussets 5. The central slide bar it has opposite ends butting against the inside surfaces of the upper end railsfi and in this manner the upper box cannot be removed from the lower box without first raising the same vertically.
The slide bars [2 and it in addition to providing a projecting means that engages the box beneath in a manner to retain one box upon another serve as a means for protecting and reinforcing the bottom of the box when the same is being moved around, the usual practice being to slide the boxes. They also provide means whereby onebox may be slid to its position on top of another by sliding the box longitudinally with the slide bars engaging one of the upper end rails 6.
Although a specific embodiment of the present invention has been illustrated and described it is to be understood that various changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims Without departing from the spirit of the invention, and such changes are contemplated.
What I claim is:
1. A box comprising a bottom, side and end. panels, said end panels being formed to project upwardly above said side panels, slide bars secured to said bottom panel and adapted to rest upon the upper edges of said side panels when one box is placed on top of another with the bottom of the upper box resting upon the top of the upwardly extending end panels, notches formed in the upper edges of said end panels through which the ends of said slide bars extend, and gussets secured to the corners of said box against which the ends of said slide bars butt.
2. A box comprising a bottom, side and end panels, said end panels being formed to project upwardly above said side panels, slide bars secured to said bottom panel and adapted to rest upon the upper edges of said side panels when one box is placed on top of another with the bottom of the upper box resting upon the top of the upwardly extending end panels, notches formed in the upper edges of said end panels through which the ends of said slide bars extend, gussets secured to the corners of said box against which the ends of said slide bars butt, and a centrally disposed guide bar mounted in a manner where- 10 by its ends engage said end panels.
