Patented Mar. 27, 1951 "rem orrics SHlPPING CONTAINER WITH ARTICLE- SUPPORTING BASE Joseph G. Dunneback, Shaker Heights, Ohio, assignor to J. & L. Steel Barrel Company, Pittsburgh, Pa, a corporation of New Jersey Application September 28, 1945, Serial No. 619,040
1 Claim.
This invention relates to shipping packages and is especially suitable for use in packing for shipment articles of great weight which must be firmly supported against damage such as might occur through rough handling.
One object of my invention i to provide a shipping package of such constructionthat the packaged article will be rigidly supported and firmly anchored therein.
Another object of my invention is to provide a shipping package comprising parts so arranged that not only will the article packed therein be more firmly supported and held against damage from rough handling than in the case or" various other forms of packages, but the articles can, nevertheless, conveniently be incorporated within and removed from the container.
Other details, objects and advantages oi the invention will become apparent as the follow ing description of a present preferred embodi ment thereof proceeds.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown a present preferred embodiment of the invention, in which Figure l is a vertical cross-sectional view of a package, and its contained article, taken on the line II of Figure 2, but with the cover in place;
Figure 2 is a horizontal cross-sectional view taken on the line IIII of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a. fragmentary plan view of a portion of the cover fastening device'of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a fragmentary face view thereof;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary vertical crosssectional View to enlarged scale of a portion of the structure of Figure l; and
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the articlesupporting base of Figure 1.
I show a container 23 of drum-like form having a permanently attached lower end closure 24 and a removable cover 25 at its upper end. The package is here shown as carrying an airplane engine cylinder 25. Anchoring rods 2'? are welded or riveted to the side walls of the drum 23 and are threaded at their upper ends to receive nuts that hold washers or anchoring plates 23 rigidly in place against the upper face The article 26 is detachably connected to the base 25 by bolts so that extend through the base and through a flange 3! that constitutes part of the cylinder 26. The circular portion of the base is apertured to receive an extension of the cylinder.
In assembling the parts the cylinder is first connected to the base 29 by the bolts it. Thereupon, the base, together with the cylinder is lowered into the drum, the base being provided with cut-outs 32 in its edge that serve as handholds for the packer. As the base and cylinder are lowered into the drum, slots 33 in the edges of the base 28 will be kept in alignment with the anchoring rods 2'5. When the base has become seated upon a ribbed surface 34 on the internal wall of the drum the clamping plates 28 will be dropped into place and nuts 35 then applied to the rods 27! and drawn down tightly to securely anchor the base in place upon its seat it.
The cover 25 will then be applied to the end of the container and a split ring 36 then placed in partially embracing relation with the curled edge of the lid 25 and a bead 3? formed on the upper edge of the drum body, as shown more clearly in Figure 5. A bolt 33 that extends through cars 39 on the ring 36 will then be tightened to contract the ring 36, thus tightl drawing the curled edge of the lid 25 against a rubber gasket 49.
The article-supporting base is positively held against displacement downwardly or inwardly of the container, since the internal rib 34 affords the necessary firm support.
The term drum i employed herein largely as a matter of convenience; the casing or container shell need not necessarily be of cylindrical contour.
While I have shown and described a present preferred embodiment of the invention it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto but may be otherwise variously embodied within the scope of the following claim.
I claim:
A shipping container comprising a container body, heads closing the body at opposite ends, an article-supporting base, a seating device on the inner wall of the body intermediate the heads serving as a seat for the base, anchoring rods secured to the inner wall of the body and intersecting the plane of the base, the rods extending through slots formed in the edges of the base,
plates at the face of the base remote from the points at which the rods are secured to the container Wall overlying the slots and nuts threaded on the rods for holding the plates on the base and the base on its seat.
JOSEPH G. DUNNEBACK.
