9 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in receptacles and blanks for use in the manufacture thereof.
An object of my invention is to provide a recep- 5 tacle for holding small articles which is folded in the form of a book to provide an attractive package for the articles having a distinct appeal to the purchaser.
An object of my invention is to provide a rel ceptacle which may be made practically entirely by machinery, including the steps or" cutting out the blank oi' the desired shape and providing it with desired slotted portions to form tabs and if desired with other holes for the objects to be l contained within the compartments and providing said blank with desired fold lines, all of which may be readily done by machinery. The blank then may be also similarly glued by machinery, the infolds suitably made and the exterior portions thereof compressed to form two compartments, one in each cover portion of the book, gluing or otherwise securing the various parts together. The only operation which has to be done by hand is topush up the bottom edge of the large receptacle compartment to provide an article holding compartment and as the articles are inserted within said compartment the tabs are forced down to form end walls for the compartment.
An object of my invention, therefore, is to provide a structure which may be substantially entirely fabricated and assembled by machinery eX- cept the last step of actually raising up the compartment, the completion of the compartment being effected by the insertion of articles within.
My invention is particularly adapted for use in holding small articles like wax crayons and drawing sheets. However, if desired wooden crayons or pencils may be substituted for the crayons,
and my invention is particularly adapted to provide a receptacle if desired in the nature of a portfolio for holding envelopes and letter paper in either compartment, or if desired, for iiling cards or other small articles.
A further object of my invention is to provide a receptacle which may be made from .a single piece of cardboard with practically no waste in the cardboard or other material.
A further object of my invention is to provide a structure whereby the infolds which form the end walls of the compartment may space the compartment inner and outer walls to retain them in position.
These and such other objects 'of my` invention as may hereinafter appear will be best understood from a description of the accompanying drawings which illustrate various embodiments thereof.
Fig. l is a plan view of a blank for constructing an improved embodiment of my invention provided with the desired slits and desired fold lines 5 and glued in the desired places.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of such a blank after the infolds have been glued to the body ofthe blank and the end portions thereof infolded to form a iiat intermediate product, 10
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the intermediatelproduct shown in Fig. l after the lower edge thereof has been pushed upwardly to provide a compartment.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the device shown in Fig. 15 3 showing how the tabs are downfolded'toprovide a compartment by vthe act of assembling crayons or other articles in the compartment, the tabs being limited in their movement by the lateral infolds. y20
Fig. 5 is a plan View of my device after a drawing sheet is inserted in one 'compartment and the crayons in the other.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of my improved receptacle shown in Fig. 5 after the cover portion 25 has been downfolded to form a book simulating receptacle.
Fig. 7 is an end elevation of the assembled book shown in Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is a. plan View of a blank for forming a '30 book simulating receptacle of the same type having enlarged article receiving compartments in each of the front and rear covers thereof, said covers being joined together by the end cover portion of double the thickness shown in Figs. 1 to'l, 35 after the blanks have .been cut, fabricated and provided with the desired fold lines and glue.
Fig. 9 is a plan view of the blank shown in Fig, 8 after each compartment has been loaded with articles and 'being generally similar to Fig. 5. 40
Fig, 10 is a plan view of the double compartment receptacle illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9.
Fig. 11 is an end elevation of this embodiment. In the drawings, wherein like characters of reference indicate-like parts throughout, 20. genl'45 erally indicates a book simulating receptacle constructed in accordance with my invention, comprising a front book cover simulating portion 22, a rear book cover simulating portion 24 and an end cover portion 25 of substantially the'com- 50 bined thicknesses of the front compartment and the rear compartment pivotally joining the adjacent ends of said front and rear cover portions together. One of said cover portions inthe embodimentshownythe rear cover portion -'24, has 55 an extension 28 of the desired compartment thickness therein forming a compartment base 28 secured thereto having an extension 30 of the desired compartment height forming an outer compartment wall 30 secured thereto having an extension 32 of the desired compartment thickness forming a compartment top secured thereto centrally vertically slitted asat 34 and transversely slitted along the top and bottom edges thereof as at 36 and 38 respectively from points 40 spaced from each end thereof to form the tabs 42. If desired, for either assembly and for a purpose to be described each edge of said cover portion 22, 24 and 26 and compartment portions 28, 30 and 32 may be provided with continuous extensions- 44 adapted to be infolded, thus of substafntiallythe combined height of said cover portions and compartment forming extensions to project inwardly over the edges of said portions and extensions and be secured thereto. Said compartment top 32 is also provided with an extension 46 secured to the infolds 44 and adjacent cover portion 24 interior of said infolds 44. It is apparent that the infolds 44 may be secured to the adjacent cover and compartment forming extensions by means of glue, or other adhesive, and that the cover portion 46 may be secured on top of said infolds and adjacent cover portion by means of glue or other equivalent material.
In the preferred embodiment shown, the other of said compartment portions 22, namely the front cover portion 22, is provided with an extension 50 of substantially the height of said other compartment downfolded to form a compartment outer wall and secured to said infolds and the respective cover portion 22 interior of said infolds to form the other compartment. 1f desired, the portion 50 may be provided with a suitable slit 52 therein to provide an opening 52 for said other compartment through which papers may be inserted to the other compartment. 1f desired said other compartment however may be omitted. If also desired the infolds 44 may be omitted as well as the tabs 40. Any means extending downwardly from the ends of the opening 43 formed by said tabs or otherwise in the compartment upper wall 32 to form compartment end walls spacing said compartment inner and outer walls may be provided whether or not said means may be integral with the rest of the receptacle or otherwise. For cheapness of assembly, however, I prefer the integral tab construction shown for forming the end walls of the compartment. The infolds 44 are preferably desirable particularly in the cover portion 24 and compartment outer wall 30 so as to provide stops to limit the outward pivotal movement of said tabs 40 to provide the end walls for the compartment. I have shown in Figs. 8 to 11 a receptacle having a compartment of substantial thickness on both the Wall and rear cover portions 22 and 24, and in this instance the end cover portions 26 are of substantially double the thickness of the front compartment and also that of the rear compartment and the structure for the upper compartment comprises extensions from the front book cover simulating portion of exact duplicates of those hitherto described for the rear book cover simulating portion, the portions thereof shown in said figures being primed to indicate the duplication of the parts.
Similarly in this embodiment the infolds 44 and/or tabs 42 may be omitted if desired.
As the starting point for my invention I provide the book simulating blank shown in Fig. 1
comprising a sheet of cardboard 54 or 54', or like stiif material, comprising a central portion 56 having the spaced fold lines 58 spaced from each edge thereof to provide the infolds 44 hitherto described. A pair of transverse center end cover forming portion fold lines 62 are provided forming the center portion 26 and an end portion 24 thereof into a front book cover simulating portion 22 an-d a rear book cover simulating portion 24 of equal height spaced apart to provide a book end cover portion 26 substantially of the combined thicknesses of a front compartment and a rear compartment. The other end of said center portion 24 has a pair of transverse fold lines 64 spaced to form between them a compartment base 28 of the desired thickness at the end of the adjacent cover portion 24 and spaced transverse fold lines 66 spaced from said last mentioned fold lines 64 an amount suicient to form a compartment outer wall 30 and from each other an amount suflicient to form a compartment top 32, said compartment top portion 32 having a central slit 34 therein and being transversely slitted along the top and bottom edges thereof as at 36 and 38 from points 40 spaced from each end thereof to form the tabs 42, said A compartment top portion having a portion of lesser width projecting therefrom from the outer wall of last mentioned fold line 66. If desired, the opposite end of said center portion 22 may be provided with a portion 50 substantially of equal width projecting therefrom along the fold line 68 to provide a cover for the opposite compartment and having a transverse slit 52 therein for the reception of papers in such compartment.
As stated hitherto, if desired, the front cover portionl 22 may be constructed in identical fashion as the rear cover portion 24 to provide a front compartment as well as a rear compartment for my improved receptacle. Figs. 1 and 8 illustrate my improved receptacle after it has been cut into the desired shape with the desired infold portions 44, transverse fold lines 62, 64, 66 and 68 and longitudinal fold lines 58 to form the tab portions 44 and with the desired slits 34, 36 and 38 to form the tabs 42 and the desired slit 52. As also shown inIFigs. l and 8 the infolds 44 may be provided with the glue l0 thereon, the extension 46 may be provided with the glue 10 thereon and the extension 50 may be provided with the glue on the upper surface thereof only. Then by means of a suitable machine the blank 54 iirst has the infolds 44 folded thereover to provide the infolds 44 secured to said respective cover portions and compartment forming portions along the edges thereof. The compartment outer wall portions 3D and attached portion of lesser width may then be infolded by machinery or otherwise along the outermost fold line 64 so that the flap extension 46 may be secured to the inner portion of the rear cover portion 24 and the extension 58 of lesser width may be infolded along the fold line 68 so that it may be stuck to wards as shown in Fig. 3 to cause the blank to bend along the lower fold line 64 to provide a compartment 14 of the thickness of said compartment top portion 32 and compartment base 28. Then Yas shown' in Fig. 4, as the crayons 'I6 or other articles are inserted within the cornpartment 'i4 through the hole 43 formed by said tabs, the tabs 42 are -pushed downwards until they assume the position shown in Figs. 4 and 5 abutting the inner edges of the infolds 44 within said compartment to form the compartment end walls i2 as shown in Fig. 7. If desired, a sheet 18 may be inserted through the slit 52 in the thin upper compartment 8D and the front cover portion pivoted over the rear cover portion, the fold lines 62 bending for this purpose, to provide the booklike receptacle shown in Fig. 6. If a double compartment receptacle of substantial thickness be provided the blank shown in Fig. 8 is similarly folded and assembled into the double compartment book-20' shown in Fig. 10.
It is apparent, therefore, that I have provided a novel type of book simulating receptacle for small articles constructed of a single sheet of cardboard which may be manufactured by machinery substantially in its entirety with the exception of the final compartment forming and article loading steps with the other advantages described above.
It is understood that my invention is not limited to the specific embodiments shown and that various deviations may be made therefrom without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
