l University City, Mo. M J l Application January 1s, 1939,.seria1N0.25o,725 i 4 claims. (o1. 1li-150') This invention pertains to exible hinges especially applicable to lids of boxes, crates and containers that are returned to the shipper and repeatedly used such as is in extensive use by ,5 distributors of bottled beverages.
Utilizing a exible device such as fabric or a plurality of united strands of fibre as by weaving `or molding for attaching a lid tol a box constitutes an essential object of our invention.
Hinges of this type possess obvious merit for attaching lids especially to light Weight boxes,
passing a flexible member through and over thel adjacent margins of the lid and a side of box, then securing the ends of the tape.
Providing a hi-nge for 'attaching alid Without employing conventional screws, nails or rivets, or the labor incident to their use is a feature of this invention. Other features and objects of our invention will be apparent in the following detailed description made in connection with the annexed drawing, and from the appended claims, which distinctly point out and define the scope of this invention.
In the annexed drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective View of a box having a lid attached thereto by a pair of hinges made in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is an elevation of a section of a back y side of the box and a corresponding section of a lid in open relation thereto substantially as shown in Figure 1, the lid being attached to the box by the hinge member.
Figure 3 is a vertical section of Figure 2 along the line 3 3.
55 and dispose hinge 8 so-that it will be protected from abrasion when the box is put into service, at which time it is exposed to contact with other objects. It will be -noted by this arrangement that the lid will orient on the fabric without being pinched, all of which is in the interest 5' of long life for the hinge. In practice it has been found sufficientA for ordinary usages to limit the recessing to the outsideof the box, however, it is to be understood that these recesses could likewisev be placed on 10 the insidein the event certain conditions develop wherein this would contribute to theylength of serviceto be procured from the hinge. By the arrangement shown in the drawing, a hinge of long endurance is procured without the use of 15 metal parts, which, although ypossessing greater strength, for like dimensions are objectionable in that they are expensive to produce and mount and should be made either of a non-ferrous metalor if ferrous metals are used they require 20 surface coating Where long 'life and/or appear- `ance are factors.
The lid is attached to the box by a plurality of fabric strips indicated by numeral 8. With reference to Figure 3, in the embodiment of this 25 invention selected for the purpose of illustration, end 8l of fabric strip 8 is placed on the inside of the box and manually held or permanently secured, While 'the other end 82 is threaded through hole 6I past notches 63, 13, then through 30 hole 1l, thenvthrough said notches at substantially 90 degrees to the located position of fabric strip, and then stretched and disposed over the first mentioned end so as to lap end 8| Where it is secured. Staple 9 is used for nally attach- 35 ing the hinge; it preferably projects through both ends 8|, 82 and through sidev 6 where it is clinched on the outside as indicated by numeral 9| in Figure 3. Rivets, screws or an adhesive can be substituted for the staple to advantage o under certain conditions, the requirement being that the fabric hinge be drawn sufficiently tight. and secured so as to result in an operative hinge for attaching the lid to the box.
It will be noted by this structure that the 45 objects of the invention as set forth at the outset of the specification are obviously obtained.
Having thus described our invention, we claim: f
1. A strip of ilexible material attached to a lid and a box for swingably mounting the lid on the box, said lid member and a side member of the box each having a hole in proximity to juxtapositioned edges thereof, said members also having a notch cut in the edges thereof and in alignment with said holes, said strip being threaded through said holes and crossed in said notches, and the ends of said strip being secured.
2. A strip of flexible material attached to a lid and a box for swingably mounting the lid on the box, said lid member and aside member of the bo-x each having a hole in proximity to juxtapositioned edges there-of, each of said members also having a notch cut in the edges thereof and in alignment With said holes, and a recess external of the box and communicating With said holes, said strip being threaded through said holes and disposed in said recesses and crossed in said notches, and the ends of said strip being secured.
3. A strip of exible material attached to a lid and a box for swingably mounting the lid on the box, said lid and a side member of the box each having a hole in proximity Yto juxtapositioned edges thereof, said lid and member each having a notch cut in the edges thereof, said strip being threaded through said holes and crossed in said notches with the edges of said strip abutting therein, and the ends of said strip being secured.
4. A strip of flexible material attached to a lid and a. box for swingably mounting the lid on the box, said lid member and a side member of the box each having a hole in proximity to juxtapositoned edges thereof, each of said members also having a notch cut in the edge and in alignment with said holes, and an external recess extending from the hole to the notch in each member, said stripvbeing threaded through said holes and disposed in said recesses and crossed in said notches, and the ends of said l5 strip being secured, said strip being disposed Within the outside surfaces of the box.
