rier tray, as will be hereinafter more fully set UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN L. STEVENS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO WILLIAM H. HARRIS, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN EGG-CARRIERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 212,281, dated February 11, 1879 application filed January 8, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN L. STEVENs, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg-Carriers; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of an egg-carforth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my eggcarrier tray. Fig. 2 shows the difierent pieces of which the tray is composed.
My eggcarrier trayis composed of strips AA and B B, of pasteboard or other suitable material. The strips A are formed with slots a at suitable intervals, and extending from one edge inward for one-half the width of the strip, so that the strips can be made to interlock when put together. At each end of the strip A is formed a tongue, 1), with slot (1 through it. The strips A A form the interior of the tray, while the strips B are used as outside strips, one on each side. Each strip B is pro- 1 vided with a series of central slots, 1), correspondin g in size with the tongues D of the strips A. At one end of each strip B is formed a tongue, 0, having a slot, through it. This tongue is passed through a slot, 1), in the ad jacent side strip, B. When the tray has been thus put together-the strips A A being interlocked and their tongues D passed through the slots 1) in the strips B, and the tongue 0 of each strip B passed through the slot 1) of the adjacent stripa narrow strip, F, is passed on each side of the tray through the slots in the protruding tongues, thereby lockin g the strips of the tray together.
The tray can be folded close together formturn shipment without separating the different strips.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
An egg-carrier tray composed of the strips A, having slots at and slotted tongues D, the strips B, having slots 1) b and slotted tongue O, and the locking-strips F, substantially as herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of November, 1878.
JOHN L. STEVENS.
