TELESCOPING CONTAINER Filed April 20, 1952 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 29, 1935 UNET STATES PATENT OFFICE TELESCOPING CONTAINER Application April 20, 1932, Serial No. 606,379
2 Claims.
such containers with interlocking means which will more securely hold the two members of the container together regardless of the position of one member with respect to the other and also to provide a construction which will permit greater tolerance in the fit of the two members. It is possible to assemble the cover and body of a square, telescopic container in any one of four relations and ordinarily, where engaging means are used, much time is lost in placing the members of the container in proper relation to engage one another properly. By the use of my invention no attention need be paid to the relation of the two members as they will always interlock regardless of their relative positions.
In the drawing Fig. 1 is a view of one member (the cover) looking inward; Fig. 2 a like view of the second member (the body) and Fig. 3 a sectional view of the two members engaged with one another.
My invention is applicable only to square containers consisting of two telescoping members.
The first member (or cover) comprises a top I and side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 of equal length. An indentation 6 is formed in one side wall 2 and an indentation l is formed in an adjoining side wall 3. The indentation 6 is the same distance from' the side wall 5 as the indentation l is-from the side wall 2.
The second member (or body) comprises a bottom 8 and side walls 9, In, H and ll of equal length. An indentation I3 is formed in a side wall 9 and an indentation I4 is formed in an opposite side wall H. These indentations l3 and M are located at the same distance from diagonally opposite corners of the second member as the indentations 6 and l are from their respective corners of the first member so that indentations on the two members will mesh when the members are telescoped.
I prefer to centrally locate all the indentations in the middle of the respective walls as shown in the drawing.
The indentations 6, 1, l3 and !4 may be either inward or outward.
The two members differ in size sufficiently to enable one member to telescope on the other.
Due to the fact that the indentations on the first member are in adjoining side walls while the indentations in the second member are in opposite side walls it makes no difference what the relation of one member may be with respect to the other, one of the indentations 6 or I will always mesh or engage with one of the indentations l3 5 or [4 on the other member. The unmeshed indentation l3 or M will press against a smooth side wall of the first member and tend not only to more deeply engage the opposite meshed indentations but will also increase the frictional 10 grip between the two members.
By this construction the telescoping fit between the two members may have greater latitude or tolerance than is permissible when the indentations are not employed so that the two members 15 are at all times securely held together.
1. A container consisting of two substantially square telescoping members, each having side walls, contiguous side walls of one of said members having depression forming indentations therein, one of said indentations being spaced from the corner at one end of the Wall in which it is formed, the same distance that the indentation formed in the contiguous wall is spaced from the corner at the opposite end of the same wall, and the opposite side walls of the other of said members having nub forming indentations spaced respectively from diagonally opposite corners of said member the same distance as said depressions are spaced from a corner, whereby in assembling said members, one of said nubs will enter one of said depressions and the other of said nubs will engage a side wall of the other member and cause such relative movement of said members as to develop a binding action between opposite sides of said members.
2. A container consisting of two substantially square telescoping members, each having side walls, contiguous side walls of one of said members having depression forming indentations therein each located centrally of the length of a wall, and the opposite side walls of the other of said members having nub forming indentations each located centrally of the length of a wall, whereby in assembling said members one of said nubs will enter one of said depressions and the other of said nubs will engage a side wall of the other member and cause such relative movement of said members as to develop a binding action between opposite sides of said members.
