Feb. 2, 1954 Filed July 8, 1952 l. M. LAIBSON CASE FOR GLASSES INVENTOR. /R V/N M. M550/,v
Patented Feb. 2, 1954 UNITED STATS PATENT GFFICE CASE FOR GLASSES Irvin M. Laibson, Cincinnati, Ohio Application July 8, 1952, Serial No. 297,632
(Cl. 20G-5) 1 Claim.
This invention relates to a protective case for glasses, and more particularly relates to a case having a soft faced interior for protecting the glasses from scratching and a sturdy backing portion for protecting the glasses from shocks which case can be placed inside an outer case for protecting glasses during shipping. This is a continuation in part of my co-pending application Serial Number 279,828, filed April l, 1952.
An object of this invention is to produce a case for glasses which is strong yet has a soft inner face for engaging the glasses.
A further object of this invention is to provide a protective shipping case for glasses having Walls strengthened by arching.
A further object of this invention is to provide a protective case for glasses for shipping in an outer box or carton.
A further object of this invention is to provide an open-ended case of this type forming a portion engageable with the glasses to hold the glasses in place therein.
The above and other objects and features of the invention will in part be apparent and will in part be obvious from the following detailed description, and the drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view showing a protective case constructed in accordance with an embodiment of this invention, the case being shown fiat, one corner of an inner liner of the case being turned upwardly for clarity of explanation.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the case in shipping position with a pair of glasses therein;
Fig. 3 is a View in section taken along a line IlI-IlI of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the protective lcase inside an outer case, the protective case and outer case being broken away for clarity of detail.
In the following description, and the drawing, like reference characters indicate like parts.
The protective case illustrated in the drawing includes a backing member Ill and a lining I2. The backing member is provided with three score lines I3, I4 and I6 which extend transversely thereof. 'Ihe score lines divide the backing member into an inner front panel I'I, a side panel I 8, a back panel I9, and an outer front panel 2 I. A tab 22 is hinged to the free edge of the outer front panel. of equal width, and the carton zcan be folded to the position shown in Fig. 2 in which the outer front panel overlies the inner front panel. A slot 23 is provided at the hinge between the inner front panel and the side panel, and when the The back panel and the front panels are case is folded into the position shown in Fig. 2, which is the shipping position, tab 22 can be inserted through slot 23 and is frictionally held therein. As shown most clearly in Fig. 3, the case is formed of material which is sufciently resilient that, when the case is in shipping position, the back panel I9 is arched or bowed so that the front panel is under tension to hold the tab rmly in place in slot 23. As shown in Fig. l, short cuts 23' are formed at each end of slot 23. Cuts 23 extend into the inside front panel to form a tab 23 which engages -tab 22 and firmly grips tab 22 when tab 22 is inserted into the slot 23.
The lining I2, as shown most clearly in Figure 1, includes a plurality of sheets 24 of soft unszed paper placed one on top of the other. There may be six or more sheets 24 to form a soft resilient pad. The sheets 24 are mounted on a backing sheet 26 of non-absorbent glazed paper. Sheets 24 are pressed together and against backing sheet 26 at a plurality of spaced points 21 so that the sheets of paper adhere to each other and to the glazed backing sheet. The glazed backing sheet, in turn, is adhesively attached to the interior faces of the back panel, side panel, and inner front panel.
The sheets 24 are of paper or the like which is suiliciently soft and free of gritty materials that it can not scratch or injure glasses 28 (Fig. 2) which are carried in the case. As shown in Figs. 1-4 inclusive, a triangular tab 29 is cut in back panel i9 and projects inwardly toward the side panel I8. Tab 29 engages the nose piece 29 of the glasses as shown most clearly in Fig. 3 to hold the glasses in place in the case. The protective case may be placed inside an outer box 38 for shipping. Only a portion of outer box 30 is shown. The outer box includes a tray 3| and a cover or inverted tray 32 which telescopes over tray 3l, as shown in Fig. 4. The protective case is received in the Outer box and holds the glasses firmly during shipping to prevent injury to the glasses.
The case illustrated in the drawing and described above, is subject to structural modification `without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claim.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A protective case for glasses adapted to be wrapped about a pair of glasses, the case comprising a substantially rectangular member of resilient paperboard having score lines extending f transversely thereof to divide it into an inner 3 4 front panel, a side panel, a back panel, and an the case being substantially triangular in section outer front panel hinged together tandemwise when the glasses are wrapped therein. at the score lines, the back panel having a tri- IRVIN M.
