The top laps 3 are now folded to the closed position, bringing the flanges 4, 4 downward into face-adiacent relationship, Figs. 1 and 2, where they are held by the operator reaching through the pair of holes 32, and the ends 6 are then closed with the tucks I resting under the laps 3, and the slots 30, 3| interengaging as explained above. If necessary, further fastening, such as tape, may be employed, but this is optional and not in itself a part of the invention, hence is not shown in the drawing.

Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made as regards the structure herein disclosed, provided the means stated by any of the following claims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.

I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention:

1. In a container in combination, a liner and a covering separate therefrom, said liner comprising an inner bottom and outer ends, tucks on said liner ends, top laps and inwardly projecting flanges on said covering, said top flanges and end tucks constituting interlocking elements in the closed container.

2. In a. container in combination, a liner and a covering separate therefrom, said liner comprising an inner bottom and outer ends, tucks on said liner ends, said tucks occupying only the middle parts of said ends, top laps and inwardly projecting flanges on said covering, said top flanges and end tucks constituting interlocking elements in the closed container.

3. A container comprising a bottom panel, a pair of side panels, a pair of top panels, and closing flanges carried by each of said top panels, an inner bottom panel separate from all the foregoing, outer end walls attached thereto, tucks on said end walls, and interlocking means between said end tucks and said top closing flaps.

4. A container comprising an outer body and a liner therein, said liner comprising an inner bottom, outer ends, and tucks on said ends, said outer body comprising a bottom, sides, top halflaps, and flanges depending from said half-laps and adapted for iace-to-face engagement in the closed container, and slots longitudinally disposedat the ends of the junctions of the hall'- laps with the dependent flanges, and of width substantially equal to the thickness of the slideend tucks.

5. A container comprising an outer body and a liner therein, said liner comprising an inner bottom, outer ends, and tucks on said ends, said outer body comprising a bottom, sides, top halflaps, and flanges depending from said half-laps and adapted for face-to-face engagement in the closed container, slots longitudinally disposed in the ends of the half-lap flanges, said slots being substantially equal in width to the liner-endtuck thickness, and slots in the liner-end tucks disposed opposite the half-lap flanges and as wide as the combined thickness of the half-lap flanges.

6. A container comprising an outer body and a liner, said liner comprising an inner bottom, outer ends, and tucks on said ends, and an outer body comprising a bottom, sides, top half-laps, and flanges depending from said half-laps and adapted for face-to-face engagement in the closed container, slots longitudinally disposed at the ends of the junctions of the half-laps with the dependent flanges, the depth of said slots being less than the corresponding dimension of end tucks engageable in said slots in the closed position of the box.

7. A container for articles havingrreduced end projections, said container comprising an outer body and a liner, said body and said liner each including bottoms of substantially equal size and shape, large openings in the liner bottom adapted to receive container ends, small openings in the outer bottom aligned with said large openings; said outer body also including a lap top, and openings therein aligned with said large openings when the container is closed.

8. In a carton adapted for the packing of material having projecting end elements, an outer cover and a liner adapted to fit therein and form the ends thereof, said liner being apertured to conform to the positions of the end elements of the contained articles, and corresponding apertures in the top of the outer container adapted, when said container is closed, to align with the firstnamed apertures.
