I 2 Claims. (01. 229-41) This invention relates to boxes and the 1mprovementsare directed to a novel form of container adapted to receive wearing apparel, such as suits, dresses and laundered articles.
5 An important object of the invention resides in the provision of a box of the above-mentioned character that may be composed of lightweight material, such as paper, and which is susceptible of olding to a collapsed condition to facili- 10 tate storage and transportation of a large number within a small amount of space.
Another object is to provide means in the form of a filler, or the like, that normally abuts each corner of the box. and which is arranged in jux- .15 taposition to the contiguous portions of the walls and ends at the corners of the box to reinforce and maintain the same in an erect position.
A still further object of the invention is to so arrange the respective fold lines between the box 2 ends and sides, and the comer filler, so that a continuous surface, or non-foldable section is presented adjacent a fold line on said-filler and the ends of the box. i v In practical fields-the details of construction 25 may necessitate alterations. falling within the scope of what is claimed.
The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed. 80 In said drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the box with the sides and ends in an erect position.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the box folded and collapsed. I 35 Fig. 3 is a fragmental perspective of a corner of the box showing the end and side walls, and the filler, in a partially collapsed condition. Fig. 4 is a'perspective view of a filler. Fig. 5 is a fragmental perspective view of a 40 corner of the box with the filler removed.
Fig. 6 is a plan view of the blanks from which the box and fillers are formed.
Referring now more in detail to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference 45 denote similar parts throughout the several views,
5 indicates the bottom of the box and 6 and 1 oppositely disposed ends and oppositely disposed sides, respectively. As shown in Fig. 6 the blank is creased along the lines 8 and 9 and also along 50 lines i0 and ii whereby said ends and sides may the corners of the bottom of the box at an acute angle to the Jolnture between the ends and sides.
"complete collapsing to a substantially flat condition. While this arrangement permits the stacking of the boxes within a small amount of space, it
is obvious that means must be provided'to reinforce the corners of the box in order to maintain 10 the sides and ends in an erect position. To this end I have provided filler elements which; are formed from cardboard, or the like, to form blanks i4, (see Fig. 6) the same being creased on line IE to form sections i6 and I1, whilst sections W I! are creased at l8, said crease or fold line extending from the lower portion of said crease line l5 and at an acute angle therewith, as viewed in Fig. 4. With the box and its ends and sides assembled, as pointed out herelnbefore, the fillers it are applied inside the corners of the'said box by suitably affixing the ends of sections I6 and H to ends 6 and sides'l, (see Fig. 1), the two fold lines abutting at the corners as shown, andit will beobserved the fold line i3 of the 'sides I abuts the unfolded section [16 whilst the fold line l8, of section II, abuts the unfolded portion of the ends 6. Thus the weakness of a fold line is compensated by an area devoid of a crease or fold line. This is a feature of some importance. The method of collapsing the corners of'the box is illustrated in Fig. 3 wherein it will bepbserved the filler at each corner isdepressed inwardly on the line i 5, the section I? folding on line I8, whilst the sides 1 fold inwardly on crease line I3, said sides'i and ends 8 now collapsing onto the bottom of the box as shown in Fig. 2. en erecting the sides and ends of the box the filler at each comer folds on lines l5 and i8 and as the sections i6 and i1 contactthe adjacent portions of the sides 40 andends of the box the conditions shown in Fig.
1 are obtained. This arrangement admirably reinforces the corners of the box and assures that the ends and sides shall remain in an erect position until the fillers are collapsed.
While the foregoing description is directed in detail to the box proper it will be understood that the cover portion will preferably be formed in the same fashion with slightly enlarged dimensions to fit over said box.
I claim:
1. A box comprising oppositely disposed walls and oppositely disposed ends foldably connected to said walls, each of the walls having a fold line 2. A box comprising a bottom and oppositely disposed walls and ends having corner crease lines, each of thewalls having a fold line extending angularly from each corner crease line to permit folding of the walls and ends onto the bottom, and a filler attached to said walls and ends, said filler having a crease line abutting said corner crease line when the walls and ends are erect, the section of the filler attached to an end of the box having a fold line extending angularly from the corner of the box to permit folding of the filler in conjunction with the folding of said walls and ends, the arrangement being such that the fold lines ofthe walls and illler, respectively, are re-inforced by a continuous or non-foldable section of the walls and filler, respectively, thus compensating for the weakness of a fold line.
