UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
NOEL RQGOBDON, OF SPARTA, ILLINOIS.
KNOCKDOWN PACKING-BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,091, dated November 28, 1882.
Application filed October 16, 188:2. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1,NOEL R. GORDON, of Sparta, in the county of Randolph and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Knockdown Packingboxes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is aperspective view, the box being set up. Fig. 2 is a similar view, the box being in its knockdown position, andFig. 3 is a transverse section of Fig. 2. My invention relates to that class of shipping-boxes which, when they have reached their destination and the contents been taken out, can be easily taken apart and put into a compact form to be reshipped without taking up unnecessary room.
My invention consists in certain novel features hereinafter claimed.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the top, B the bottom, 0 the ends, and D E the sides, of the box or case. The sides are hinged to either the bottom or the top ofthe box, preferably the former, as shown, D being connected directly to the bottom,-but E being connected to a st1-ip,F, which is rigidly secured to the bottom, the strip F being the height of the thickness of the side pieces, and consequently .the piece E is that much narrower than D, so
that when the box is set up their heights are the same. The object of thus securing one side ofthe box to the bottom or top, as the case may be, is to allow'that side to fold over the other when the box is knocked down, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
I will now describe the manner of securing the box in either position, wherein my invention principally lies.
G represents an gle-rods, two secured at each side of the box near therespective ends. These rods are so bent as to have one long and one short arm each, and are pivoted to the upper ends of straps H, secured to the bottom B, or to the top A, if desired. The ends of the rods are screw-threaded to receive nuts I.
J are straps secured to the top, having holes in their ends to receive the ends ofthe anglerods. \Vhen the box is put together the long arms of the rods are turned up. as shown'vin Fig. 1, and receive the ends of the straps secured to the top; and when the box is in its knocked-down position the short arms are turned up to receive the straps J, the long arms consequently being folded down out of the way, as shown in Fig. 2. The short arms are of sufficient length "to allow the sides and ends of the box to be placed between the top and bottom.
It will thus be seen that there are no parts of the box that are liable to be lost at any time, for every part is in use whichever position the box is in. r
The top and bottom and the sides of the box are grooved, as shown at K, Fig. 1, to receive the ends when the box is put together.
It is evident that my invention can be applied to all kinds of boxes, egg-cases, chickencoops, 850. V
I claim as my invention- 1. In a knockdown shipping box or case, the angle-rods pivoted at the sides of the box, the arms beiugof different lengths for securing the parts together in the different positions, as set forth.
2. In a knockdown shipping box or case, the combination of bottom B, straps H, secured to the bottom, sides D E, the former hinged directly to the bottom and the latter hinged to a. strip, F, that is secured to the bottom, anglerods Gr, pivoted to the straps H, and having ends of different lengths screw-threaded to re oeive nuts I, and top A, with straps J secured thereto, with holes in their ends to receive the angle-rods, all substantially as shown and described.
NOEL .R. GORDON.
