April 2, 1940. N. CANTQR CONTAINER OR PACKAGE HANDLE Filed Nov./ 20, 1936 L\'\ 'ENTOR.
BY A afhan/e/ Camor.
ATTORNEY.
I 2, one side of a box, hereinafter Patented Apr. 2, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE I f a 2,196,055 l CONTAINEROR PACKAGE HANDLE Nathaniel Cantor, Brooklyn, N. Y. Application November 20, 1936, Serial No. 111,803 1 Claim. (01. 229-52) The purpose of this invention is to provide a cord handle for paper boxes, cartons, or containers, in which the handle portion is inserted through an opening or openings in one side'of the carton, with the ends extending under the side and permanently secured to the inner surface, thereby providing a permanently attached handle which is mounted to reinforce the side of the box, providing strengthening means therefor.
The invention is a cord handle attached to a flange at one side of a box or container, with a flange of the other side overlapping the side to which the handle is attached with the box in the closed position, and with the handle extending through a slot therein with the ends of the handle extending diagonally toward the side of the box and secured in place by staples extending through both the ends of the handle and a folded-under flap or flange.
The object of the invention is, therefore, to provide a handle that is permanently attached to a box, container, or the like, which is made of cord and supports the container from both sides.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a View showing a box or container with a cord handle.
Figure 2 illustrates a blank from which the box is formed.
Figure 3 is a View showing a cord handle with the ends extending through openings in the inner side of a box, and attached to the box by staples, and also showing the length of the handlebefore being attached in dotted lines.
Figure 4 is a plan view of the handle and inner box flange with part of the handle broken away.
Figure 5 is a cross section through the handle and a portion of the box.
In the drawing the handle is shown in combination with a box on which it may be used, wherein numeral l indicates a handle, numeral referred to as the inner side, numeral 3, the opposite side of the box, hereinafter referred to as the outer side and having a flange overlapping a corresponding flange of the inner side, and numeral 4, a blank from which the box is formed.
The handle I is preferably formed of cord, which may be made of paper, hemp, or any material, and, although it is designated as cord, it
, will be understood that any flexible strand may be used. This handle is provided in the form of a strand of material with one end 5 inserted through an opening 6 in a flange at the upper edge of the inner side 2 of the box, and another end I inserted through an opening 8 in the flange, and the ends 5 tween the outer part 9 of the flange and a folded under part 10, and are secured to the flange parts by staples H and I2 passing through both the flanges and handle ends. In this design the ends of the handle are placed through round openings 6 and 8 connected by a slit' l3 in the flange 9, however the round openings may be omitted if desired.
of the box is also pro- With a folded-under porand these parts may also be provided M and I5 of the side 3 overlapping the flange ,formed by the parts 9 and I extending from the side 2.
In the plan'view shown in Figure 4, the ends and l of the handle extend diagonally backward toward the side 2 of the box, asindicated by the dotted lines, thereby strengthening the box, as the load is thereby taken at points adjacent the vertical side thereof instead of at the center 'of the flange, where it would be applied with the ends extended straight outward from-the ends of the handle.
The box is formed by folding the parts on the fold lines indicated by the broken lines forming two tray-like sections hinged together at the back, with the flanges or sides of the part 2 folding inside of the corresponding parts of the part 3, and with the handle I secured in the flanges of the part 2 and extending through thev slots of the flanges of will be held together.
It. will be understood that other changes may be made in the construction without departing from the spirit of the invention. One of which changes may be in the use of other means for permanently attaching the ends of the handle to the inner section of the box or container, another may be in the use of a handle of this type in combination with a container of any other type or design, and still another may be in the use of other means for forming the opening through which the handle passes.
The construction will be readily understood from the foregoing description. In use the the part 3 the two parts and l are'positioned be- I! through which the handle passes with the box closed with the flange formed by the numerals handle may be provided as shown and described,
and it will be noted that the ends of the handle are permanently secured in openings in the side approximately in the center of the container and in an overhanging flap or flange at the upper edge thereof, and the container is so arranged that the corresponding flange of the other side thereof extends over the part in which the handle is mounted when the box is closed, and this part is provided with an opening or openings through which the handle may be placed to hold the two sides of the box or container together.
It will be noted that the inner flap Ill, shown in Figure 5, extends inward beyond the center of the width of the box, forming a double ply for reinforcing the holding part and distributing the load over said part, and with the staples passing through both plies, and also through the ends of the handle, the load is distributed over the side of the box and to the vertical side 2. This also makes it possible to staple the end of the handle relatively close to the side 2. Fastening the ends of the handle in this manner also reduces the cost, as, holding the end of the handle with the same staples that hold the side eliminates an extra operation that would be required for stapling the ends of the handle. At the same time it provides a stronger construction as the staple has more gripping power. It is understood that the handle may be placed through a straight slit, with the slit formed by a single out instead of cutting away material, which would weaken the side of the box and leave relatively wide openings around the handle.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
A cardboard blank adapted to be set up to form a box, having foldable flaps on opposite sides, one adapted to be positioned underneath the other in the set-up position, the underneath flap having a flap-like flange folded thereunder as part of itself, spaced staples holding said flaplike flange to the box blank, a flexible cord handle with the ends passing through openings in the said underneath flap and located between the said underneath flap and the folded-under part thereof, said staples also holding the ends of the cord handle which is longer than the distance between staples, said underneath flap having a slot so located as to permit said cord handle to be drawn therethrough, said other outside flap with its flange having slots adapted to register with the first slot of the underneath flap in the set-up position of the box and adapted to have the cord handle drawn therethrough.
