ANTON HOPFEN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BOX, 860- SPECIFIOATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 234,280, dated November 9, 1880.
Application filed August 11, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANTON HOPFEN, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Boxes, Cans, Pails, and other similar articles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to an improvement in boxes, cans, pails, and other similar articles; and it consists in a novel method of attaching the lid to the body of the box or other article, whereby the said lid may be removed from the top and given a hinged movement relative to the bottom of the box, the connections being such that the lid may be applied over the said bottom or allowed to hang at the side of the box, as hereinafter fully set forth.
The object of the invention is to provide a suitable hinge-like connection for the lid of any usual box which will permit the lid being used as a cover and prevent it from being lost or mislaid, and which will also permit the lid being applied over the bottom of the box so as to be out of the way, or to be swung at the side of the box and serve as a base for the same to rest upon in an inclined position for the purpose of displaying its contents. I contemplate employing the lid when not in use as a cover as a containing-receptacle in some instances, as will be hereinafter explained.
In the accompanying drawings 1 have illus trated the invention in connection with a soap box or tube, Figure 1 being a side elevation of a box embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a perspective view of a modified form of box; Fig. 3, a side elevation of same from a different side; Fig. 4, a similar view with the lid detached; Fig. 5, a like view with the lid shown in position over the bottom of the box; Fig. 6, a side elevation of a slightly-modified form of the box shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 7, a top view and central vertical section of the lid of the box illustrated in Fig. 6; Fig. 8, a view of abrush having a handle adapted to enter the upper portion of the cover shown in Fig. 7 Fig. 9, a view of one position of the box arranged to display its contents, the lid serving as a base, and Fig. 10 a central longitudinal section of a modified form of the box.
A denotes the body of the'box or tube, and
B the lid or cover. Upon the body of the box is placed a close-fitting band or ring, D, which is capable of vertical adjustment, and is connected with the lid B by the arms E. The arms E are arranged opposite to each other, one on each side of the box, and have their upper ends loosely pivoted to the lid and their lower ends similarly secured to the band D.
Thus, when the lid is removed from the top of the box, it may be freely turned or rotated between the arms, and the arms are permitted to have a hinged or swinging movement on the band D.
The cover or lid B may be removed in the usual manner by drawing it outward from the body A, then by sliding the ring D lower down on the box the lid may be applied over the bottom thereof, and thus be out of the way and prevented from being separated from the box. The lid B may be returned to the top of the box again by simply reversing the movement employed in carrying it to the bottom thereof.
Various means may be adopted for allowing the lid or cover this hinged movement, according to the style of the receptacle to which it is applied.
In Fig. 2 is shown a form different from that described above, and which may be used with satisfactory results. In this instance the upper ends of the arms E are soldered or otherwise rigidly secured to the sides of the lid and their lower ends provided with pivots a, which have a vertical movement in guideslots b out in the sides of the box, and maybe supplied with caps or heads on the inside of the box to prevent their slipping from the slots.
It is obvious that, if preferred, the lid may be loosely pivoted instead of soldered, and that in lieu of the slots 1) suitable guides may be secured upon the sides of the box for the purpose of controlling the movement of the arms E.
In Fig. 6 is shown a slightly-modified form of box, in which the lid is divided into two parts by a partition, 01, the lower part serving as a lid, while the upper part may be made to contain a toilet or other article. I propose in this construction to place in the body of the box a stick of shaving-soap and in the upper part of the lid to attach the handle end of a shaving-brush. The upper edge of the lid B will be supplied with lips 0, and the handle of the brush will be suitably grooved, so that it may be inserted into the cover or lid past the lips e and turned for the purpose of locking it in.
If desired, the lid B may be of considerable length, so as to entirely conceal the brush, as shown in Fig. 10. The brush, when not in use, will be inserted into the lid, and when in use its end will be secured by the lips c in the manner above described. The stick of soap will be placed in the body A, wherein will be arranged :1 carrier, f, having a vertical movement for the purpose of enabling the operator to push the stick of soap outward as it is worn down. Upon opposite edges of the carrierf will be supplied small knobs or lugs which will project through vertical slots out in the sides of the box, their purpose being to afl'ord a means whereby the carrier may be adjusted vertically at will.
In Fig. the box is shown closed, but it may be readily opened and the lower end of the body A inserted in the cover B by the movement of the arms E above described.
The invention is not only applicable to round boxes, but to receptacles of various forms and constructions.
connected with bearings which are capable of a vertical movement on, but have no fixed connection with, the body, substantially as specified.
2. A box composed of the lid B and body A, the lid being adjustably connected with the body by arms E, pivoted to one part of the box and having a vertical movement on the other part, the lid being supplied with the retaining-lips e and the body with the carrier f, movable vertically by means of small knobs passing from the edges of the carrier through slots cut in the sides of the box, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing improvement in boxes, cans, pails, and other similar articles, as above described, I have hereunto set my hand this 10th day of August, 1880.
ANTON HOPFEN.
