4 Claims.
The present invention relates to packaging boxes which are particularly adapted to be used in the protective packaging of suit garments or other personal wear under conditions which will preserve their shape and conventional press lines during shipment as well as during storage.
A principal object of this invention is to achieve a packaging box which may be made from flat stock sheet components profiled in accordance with the box dimensions and erectable into bottom and cover sections, after the conventional manner of such articles, but character ized by the provision of garment lashing auxiliaries which will exert firm retention for maintaining garments packaged within such boxes secure against shifting and consequent rumpling.
Another object of the present invention i to achieve a packaging box particularly appropriate for garments comprised of coat jackets and auxiliary body coverings in a manner which will preserve the conventionally normal press lines against influences of displacement such as shock or vibration which would otherwise result in wrinkling and disfigurement of pressed edges.
A further object of the present invention is to achieve a packaging box for containing two-piece articles of personal wear with a pressure element for retaining said garments in their normal hung condition and at the same time reinforcing the peripheral fold walls of the packaging box whereby to resist forces tending toward crushing or collapse.
A further object of the present invention is'to provide a packaging box for suit coat garments of either mens or womens apparel while being supported on shoulder hangers with pendant hook attachments in a manner which will permit the hook to be disposed in or out of projecting position whereby the article thus packaged may be made to serve as storage device or to occupy minimum over-all dimensional spacing in keeping with postal shipping regulations.
The foregoing and other objects are fully realized by my invention, which in its broadest aspects comprises a folded box bottom section, a folded box cover section and certain added structures.
One of these relates to suspension hook elements. Either or both of the end walls of the two sections are preferably provided with a system of notches through which there may be permitted the protrusion of a shaped Wire hook element pivotally linked to the garment support hanger when in utility position supporting the shoulder portions of the garment jacket. Adjacent the protrusion notches there are provided others which afiord re-entrant access whereby the pivoted hook element may be reinserted into the box by being swung about its link pivotal connection. In this capacity the hook element not only is made to recede from protuberance or projection beyond the normal dimension of the box tself, but in addition due to its re-entrance through one or another of a pair of slash apertures, there is afforded a locking securement to safeguard the intcrfitting relationship between the cover and bottom portions of the box.
In addition, an anchor panel is provided which extends transversely the full width of the box and terminates at its sides with saddleor fold portions adapted to straddle the box bottom side walls and a lower box bottom end wall, achieving thereby a secure, shift-free anchorage. This panel is provided with obliquely disposed slashes through which the sleeves of the jacket garment are inserted. The stationary security of the anchor panel is made to afiord comparable lashing security to the garment jacket, preventing its inadvertent displacement as through shock and vibration.
In order that my new invention may be more fully disclosed, reference is now had to the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one form of packaging box construction, together with its auxiliary apparatus, embodying the foregoing and such other principles, advantages, or capabilities as may be pointed out as this description progresses, or as are inherent in the present invention. For purposes of clarity in exposition, the following description is explicit and the accompanying drawing is detailed, but it is distinctly to be understood that such exposition and detailed illustration is not to constitute a restriction, and that my invention is not to be limited thereby.
' In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the box elements and auxiliary apparatus with garment in place constructed in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view featuring the hanger detail in its latched condition with the box elements closed, and
Fig. 3 is a fragmenary sectional view through a portion of the closed box featuring the anchor panel'auxiliary apparatus in its utility position.
In the following detailed description as well as in the annexed drawing similar reference char"- acters designate corresponding parts throughout.
In the annexed drawing the bottom or a box assembly is designated H, the top or cover element is designated [2, and the inserted anchor panel l3. The bottom portion of the box H may be produced from an integral sheet of relatively firm fibrous or strawboard paper stock, and. includes the perpendicularly erectable side wall sections 14 and t5 as well as the end wall sections 16 and I1. At the corners where the side and end walls meet; there may be provided the" customary slasltzatmrtonguewtrrangement- [8 for the-pur pOse of securing the erectable walls with one another, although it is to be understood that any other mode of construction is equally adaptable for use in conjunction with the present" inven= tion. H I The cover portion 12 is formed and erected the same manner a the bottom portion-of the box, with side wall sections H4 and I I5 and end wall sections I I6 and H1-,.except that in order to allow for properinterfitting relationship between the"fltwoflelefiler its,'the? c'o'ver element 1 2- would preferably include"- slightly greater length and width dimensions aswell asappropriate mark; ingfwh'ereby the user" may at once recognize and distinguish? btweenithe' cover and bottom partlonsiir ordertofacilitate casein handling.
The erected upper" end walls 11;. H7 o'fhoth cover and bottom" box sections are centrally notched'as'lat' 2|, see also Fig. 2, inforder that when the two, members are placed together and the two" notches 21' of the respective box ele' ments brought into overlapping" alignment): a small" central aper'tiire be" thereby" afforded through whichmay'extend thewire'loop .rorm'a' shown'itb be ahdlitifilifioliofth wire garment hanger 31" Where another type of garr'nen't hanger is'intende'd to 'be employedsuch as one ofl'wood or' plastic molded composition; the wire loop formation? 2? may constitute the-uppermost extremity of a suspension eyelet pivotable' through an aperture formed'in'the hanger after a a'mier. ot'm'o'unti'ng which is noww'ell known in the garment hanger construction art;

In this manner,. shipment is facilitated-and more secure latching, is accomplished as regardsi-the-top andibotto'm box com ponentsi Theshoulder portions of the coatlgarment' are placed upon the hanger 23' in the conven tio'nal" manner. The lower ends of the two sleeves of the coat garment are inserted through a painofislashest 3i and 32 in a lashing plate 13; as. indicated irji Fig. 1. v k H Only,asmaILpor-tion-ofthesleeves are required to'protrud through the slashes 3] and fll which" aregsymmetrically arranged with respect to the f plate l3 to three of the perpendicular walls, while the eyelet 22 is placed into the slash or groove 2| of the fourth wall I1.
The folded or saddle portions 33 and 34 when installed upon their respective box side elements I4 and I5 contribute a factor of reinforcement to the latter elements at the same time that they themselves receive stability against shiftmg: anddisplacement When the cover (2 is placed-uponthe box, each side portion I I4 and H5 thereof assumes a position wherein a side wall of the completed package provides a fourply lamination (wall H4, outer fold of wall 33, wall Fit and inner fold of wall 33), as indicated imFlign- 3;: so that there is achieved a cumulative rigidifying or reinforcing effect against compressi'veahdrupthriiig forces.
