2 Claims.
This invention relates to a certain new and useful improvement in containers and has for its objects the provision of a container especially of rectangular box-like form and contour which may be manufactured cheaply, inexpensively, and economically in time and labor, and which is simple, strong, durable, and rugged in structure.
And with the above and other objects in view, my invention resides in the novel features of form, construction, arrangement, and combination of parts presently described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings (2 sheets)- Figure 1 is a perspective view in superposed relation of the material sections or sheets for lamination in the production of the upstanding wall-forming member of the container of my present invention;
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view of the laminated upstanding Wall-forming member of the container;
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the upstanding wall-forming member of the container;
Figure 4 is a perspective view constructed container;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the bottom wall-forming member of the container;
Figures 6 and 7 are perspective views of the finished container; and
Figure 8 is a transverse vertical sectional view of the finished container.
Referring now more in detail and by reference characters to the accompanying drawings, the finished container is preferably, though not exclusively, in the form of an open-top rectangular box-like structure, as best seen in Figure '7, and embodies in its construction two essential members, that is to say, a side-wall forming member A and a bottom-wall forming member B.
The member A, in turn, includes a section a of box or card-board or the like of suitable length and of any suitable weight and substance, adhesively or otherwise fixed fiatwise to and upon one surface of which is a similarly shaped section a of so-called cover or decorative paper of preferably lightweight stock preferably imprinted with any suitable legend, trade-mark, design, or the like pertinent or applicable to the concern to Whom, or to the use to which, the particular finished container may be supplied or put.
The double or so laminated section or member A is then suitably transversely scored at predetermined intervals along the lines I, 2, and 3, and thereby divided to integrally include side of the partially closure or box-wall structure panels 4 and 5 and end panels 6 and 1. Member A is also scored lengthwise, as at 8, in suitable adjacence toa longitudinal margin thereof and thereby provided with a marginal flap a, which, in turn, is suitably notched or cut away, as at 9, l0, and II, each respective notch aligning, or being otherwise associated, with the transverse score lines I, 2,3, and thereby dividing the flap (1" into a plurality of attachment-tabs I2, l3, l4, l5,'one to each of the respective wallpanels 4, 5, 6, and l.
The attachment tab 15 at its one or outer side margin aligns with the free margin It of the wall-panel 5, while the attachment tab IE, on the other hand, is cut away to provide an L- shaped notch, as at H, all as best seen in Figure 3 and for purposes presently more fully appearmg. 7
The end panel 6 of member A is also scored transversely, as at l8, parallel, and in spaced relation, to its free end margin IS, the space between the score lines l8 and l of member A being equal to the space between the score lines 2 and 3 and defining the width of the particular container. The distance or space between the score lines-l and 2 on member A, however, is equal to the sum of the space or distance between the score line 3 and the end margin l6 and the space or distance between the margin l9 and the score line- [8, alsoasbest seen in Figure 3 and for purposes shortly appearing.
The member A, cut and scored as described, is folded along the respective score lines is, i, 2, and 3 in the formation of a rectangular enwith the opposed end-margins l6, l9, abutted endwise at a point in spaced relation to the respective score-lines I8, I, 2, or 3, or, in other words, at a point intermediate opposite corners of the enclosure defined by the folded member A, the so abutted ends IE, IS, being secured in such folded condition by means of a reinforcing or joint strip 20 adhesively or otherwise fixed fiatwise on the inner face of the member A in bridging relation across the butt-joint therebetween, as best seen in Figure 4.
The bottom wall B is suitably stamped or otherwise cut from a sheet or section of box-board or the like of suitable weight and color and is of size and shape for snug angular fitting disposition within the enclosure defined by the folded and secured side wall-forming member A, the member B preferably, for purposes presently appearing, having a pair of tying-tapes 2| adhesively or otherwise secured at an end to its under face approximately midway its longer margins.
The bottom member B is then suitably disposed within the enclosure defined, as described, by folded and secured side wall-forming member A, and the attachment-tabs i2, 13, i i, i5, having first been provided upon their respective inner face with a coating of any suitable adhesive, then bent inwardly under and pressed firmly in flatwise engagement with the under face of the member B. Since the notches 9, iii, H, are preferably, as described, of right angle shape, the several tabs I2, I3, M, ii, when folded under and secured to the bottom B, will respectively abut along their meeting side margins in the formation of three smoothly mitered corner joints, as best seen in Figure 6, While the L-shaped notch ll of tab [2 will at the same time embracingly meet the free end margin of the opposite end tab K5 in the formation of a snug angular fourth corner joint 22, also as best seen in Figure 6, the opposite side tabs l3, l5, covering and thereby concealing the secured ends of the tying-tapes 2i and the tapes 2! being for the most part freely presented within the interior of the formed container for removably securing its contents against displacement.
The finished container is then preferably, though not necessarily, provided with a thin paper sham or flap 23 marginally secured along the inner face of one of the longer side walls 4 or 5 adjacent the upper margin thereof, as best seen in Figures 7 and 8, for protectingly covering the container-contents.
It will, of course, be understood that a cover or lid of any conventional design or construc- I tion may be provided for the container of my present invention, if desired, and it will be evident that, by my present invention, I have provided a container which may be economically constructed, the waste in cutting the container members being reduced to an absolute minimum, which is rugged and durable in character and by actual test will stand crushing and distorting strains far in excess of any existing container of like character, so far as I am aware, and, in
addition, presents a smooth, uninterrupted inner surface whereby merchandise may be attractively displayed and safely packed or housed therein.
It will be further evident that the container may be constructed in a most simple, facile, and efficient manner with a material saving in time and labor.
It should be understood that changes and modifications in the form, construction, arrangement, and combination of the several parts of the container and in the several steps of its production may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without departing from the nature and principle of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a container, an elongated section folded transversely along spaced lines to provide a rectangular enclosure comprising a plurality of upstanding wall-panels, the opposite ends of the section being in abutting relation intermediate a pair of the corners of the enclosure, a strip bridging the joint between, and adhesively fixed to and flatwise upon the inner face of, the endportions of the section for securing said endportions together, a bottom wall angularly disposed to, and positioned within the enclosure defined by, said panels, and marginal tabs on said panels folded under and fixed fiatwise upon the marginal portion of the bottom wall, a pair of said tabs meeting at their ends in the formation of an L-shaped butt-joint therebetween, the longitudinal margin of said butt-joint being in alignment with the line of abutment between the opposite ends of said section.
2. In a container, an elongated section folded transversely along spaced lines to provide a rectangular enclosure comprising a plurality of upstanding wall-panels, the opposite ends of the section being in. abutting relation intermediate a pair of the corners of the enclosure, a strip bridging the joint between, and adhesively fixed to and fiatwise upon the inner face of, the endportions of the section for securing said endportions together, a bottom wall angularly disposed to, and positioned within the enclosure defined by, said panels, and marginal tabs on said panels folded under and fixed flatwise upon the marginal portion of the bottom wall, a pair of said tabs meeting at their ends in the formation of an L-shaped butt-jointtherebetween and the remainder of said tabs meeting at their ends in the formation of miter-joints therebetween, the longitudinal margin of said butt-joint being at its outer end disposed beneath the transverse end margin of said bridging strip.
