PACKAGE OF CARTRIDGE BOXES Filed March 15, 1944 Frank Hflittmar a maflmh Patented June 3, 1947 {UNITED STATES PATEN or Fici-E PACKAGE OF CARTRIDGE BOXES Frank H. Dittmar, St. Louis, Mo., assignor to United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of War Application March 15, 1944, Serial No. 526,595
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to the art of packaging, and more particularly, to the packaging of cartridge boxes in larger carton containers. Cartridges of .50 caliber are contained in shallow boxes containing ten cartridges, in two rows of fives, one behind the other. These cartridge boxes are contained, in turn, in a large carton which holds thirty-five of the smaller boxes.
The standard cartridge box and the standard cartridge carton are so dimensioned that the aggregate volume of thirty-five of the boxes is somewhat less than the volume of the larger carton. In the present method of packaging the thirty-five boxes in the carton, the excess volume of the carton over the aggregate of contained boxes appears as an unoccupied space at one corner of the carton. Except for this unused corner space, the carton is packed solidly, so that the initial or keystone cartridge box cannot be readily withdrawn from the carton. Hence in the present method of packaging special provision must be made to enable the first or keystone box to be withdrawn; this takes the form of a length of cloth tape which encircles three sides of the keystone cartridge box with the ends of the tape extending above the fourth side or top of the box, so that the tape ends may be tied to withdraw the initial or keystone cartridge box.
The object of this invention is to devise a method of packaging cartridge boxes in a carton so that the initial or keystone cartridge box may be readily removed without the need of implementing it with withdrawal tape or other facilities. In the improved method of packaging, the keystone cartridge box is like the remaining thirty-four boxes, except for its position which enables its facile removal (as will be seen). In the accompanying drawing, the single figure is an isometric view of the improved article of this invention.
The cartridge boxes are designated, with numerals, from I to 35, which represent the order in which the cartridge boxes are placed in the larger carton, which is designated C in the drawing, where it is shown in dot-and-dash lines. All of the consecutive numbers from I to 35 do not appear in the drawing because many of the cartridge boxes are hidden from view. The individual cartridge box, such as the one in the upper, left-hand corner of the carton and designated #25, has a long side a and a short side b.
In the improved method of packaging shown in the drawing, the cartridge boxes are so placed in carton C that a space is provided at the keystone cartridge box 35 to enable the box to be grasped for withdrawal without the need of implementing the keystone box with tape or other withdrawing means. The rear tiers are packed in the improved method precisely as in the present method of packaging. That is, the three tiers 2526 21 of three-high boxes are stacked from the left end of the carton and the three tiers 28-2 930 of three-high boxes are stacked from the right end with the central three tiers 33- 34-45 of three-high boxes between the said left and right end tiers. The boxes of the said rear tiers are stacked on their long sides a.
The remaining eight boxes however are packed in the improved method in a manner different from that followed in the present method. At the right end of the carton are stacked 2. tier of three-high boxes, I 2, 24 and 3|, on their long side a. Also at the left end of the carton are stacked a similar tier of three-high boxes I I, 23
and 32, on their long side 41. Between the right tier of three-high boxes l224--3| and the left tier of three-high boxes ll23-32 is placed a tier of two-high boxes I022 on their short side b. There is thus left a top space designated G, at the center of the front side of the carton, which exposes a portion of the keystone cartridge box 35 sufficiently to enable the same to be grasped or pushed upwardly and thus withdrawn,
I claim:
A package of the type described comprising a rectangular parallelopipedic container of three unequal dimensions and rectangular parallelopipedic boxes of three unlike dimensions therein and a zone of boxes snugly arranged in the container, the boxes having a length and depth constituting the long and short dimensions of the box, the depth being slightly less than one third of the length, the box also having a width which is less than the length, the height of the container equaling three times the width of on box, the width of the container being equal to the length of one box plus its depth, and the length of the container equaling twice the length of a box plus the width of a box, the zone of boxes arranged in the container comprising at each end of the container and on the same side thereof 2. tier of three boxes arranged with their width extending vertically and their longitudinal dimension extending longitudinally of the container, rearwardly from each of these tiers and in abutting relation therewith extend three tiers of three boxes each, arranged with their longitudinal dimension extending parallel with the short dimension of the container and the width of the box extending vertically, between the first named 3 tiers of boxes at the ends of the container is arranged a tier of two boxes with their longitudinal dimension extending vertically and their width extending longitudinally of the container, rearwardly of the last named tier are arranged three tiers of three boxes each, positioned with their longitudinal dimension extending longitudinally of the container and their width extending vertically whereby an empty volume occurs over the intermediate front tier to expose a portion of the top foremost one of the medially located boxes to facilitate withdrawal thereof.
