UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE E. BENDER, OF EVERET'I, PENNSYLVANIA.
CRATE.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 225,551, dated March 16, 1880.
Application tiled September 15, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, GEORGE E. BENDEE, of Everett, in the county of Bedford and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and ImprovedGrate, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in crates for carrying fruits, eggs, and other per ishable articles, and the object thereof is to provide a crate that is perfectly ventilated, and at the saine time is arranged to exclude the cold and protect the contents against injury from the outside.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a top plan of my improved crate with the cover open. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same on line m of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a perspective View of one of the-temporary side boards for closing the openings.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Referring to the drawings, the crate is in the form of a rectangular boX, having a solid bottom, A, partition A', and end pieces, B B, and a top or cover, C, hinged to one side.
The walls of the box or crate are double, the inner wall, D, lbeing composed of strips a, placed so as to leave openings b between them. The walls D may be strengthened by vertical rods c, passing through the strips a, as shown.
The outside walls, D', are composed of strips having their contiguous edges beveled or chamfered, so as to throw off rain,dust, and ,other objects that may fall on said beveled edges, the openings e being out of line with the openings b in the inner walls, D.
By arranging the openings of the double walls in this way the suns rays cannot pass through to the contents of the crate, and any objects that may pass the outer openings will be intercepted by the strips a of the inner wall, and injury to the contents will be prevented, while ventilation will be afforded through the openings.
Between the side walls `are spaces c', narrowed at the top by a strip, f, tacked to the outer side. Through the narrow spaces thus formed the temporary side boards, E, are passed, so as to completely cover the openings b 'in the inner walls, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2.
By this arrangement, when in cold weather it isdesired to protect the contents of the crate, the temporary side boards, E, can be thrust in between the side walls of the crate.
The temporary side walls, E, are preferably made of card-board, (but I do not confine my self to this material,) and they are provided with loops g for facilitating their removal from the crate.
The crates thus made give all necessary ventilation to the fruit, eggs, or other perishable articles that may be placed in them, and at the same time are adapted to protect their contents from injury from cold and from contact with outside objects.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A crate for eggs, fruits, and vegetables, in which are combined detachable side boards, E, and slatted double side walls having open space between them, as and for the purpose speciiied.
