IMPLEMENT non sEvEruNo A PAPER CON- TAINER AT A SELECTED POINT IN ITS LENGTH Y I Benjamin S. De Vries, Eugene, Oreg. Application July 16, 1954, Serial No. 443,891 Claims. (Cl. 164-73) This invention relates to a salvage implement for producing a useful object from an empty paper container such as a milk carton. i
The primary object of this invention is to produce useful articles'from empty paper containers such as milk cartons or the like by severing the carton at a selected point in its length in order to produce a cup, or a band.
The above and other objects maybe attained by employing this invention which embodies among its features a top plate having longitudinally spaced transversely extending slots extending therethrough, flanges carried by the top plate and extending perpendicularly, downwardly therefrom adjacent the longitudinal'side edges thereof for partially embracing a paper container, guides carried by the top plate on opposite sides of the slots, a carriage adapted to engage selected guides and move transversely across the top plate in registration with a selected slot, and a blade carried by the carriage for movement thereby through the selected slot to cut through the wall of a carton engaged by the top plate.
Other features include notches opening through the edges of the flanges adjacent the top plate in registration with the slots, stops carried by the top plate and extending upwardly therefrom between the guides for arresting movement of the carriage adjacent one side of the implement, and a blade removably mounted in the slide and extending through the bottom thereof at an angle thereto for movement by the slide through a selected slot to sever the wall of a carton adjacent the top plate.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a perspective view of a salvage implement embodying the features of this invention;
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1; and
Figure'f3 is a bottom plan view of the carriage and blades" Referring to the drawings in detail, this improved salvage implement designated generally 10 comprises a top plate 12 having flanges 14 and 16 extending perpendicularly therefrom adjacent opposite longitudinal side edges Extending transversely through the top plate 12 m-longitudinally spaced slots 18 and opening through th d 'g f the flanges adjacent the top plate 12 and in registration with the slots 18 are notches 24). The edge of the flange 16 remotefrom the top plate 12 is rolled as at 22 to serve as anindicator to define the flange against which a paper carton to be cut is placed. Carried by and extending upwardly from the top plate 12 between the slots 18 are guides 24'1 1aving guide flanges 26 which extend outwardly from the guides 24 and are spaced upwardly from the top platei l2- to define channels 28 on opposite sides of the slots 1'8. Stops 30 are carried by the top plate 12 and extend upwardly therefrom adjacent opposite sideedges of the slots 18, adjacent the flange 16. I
A carriage designated'generally 32 comprises a body 34 having laterally extending flanges 36" which are adapted to enter the channels 28 adjacent a selected slot 18 to guide the carriage across the top plate, as will be readily understood upon reference to the drawings." Opening throughone end of the carriage body 34 and through the bottom of the carriage body is a downwardly inclined slot 36 into which is entered through the forward open end 'of the slot 36a razor blade 38, the cutting'edge 40 of which 'projects downwardly-through the bottom of the slot 36 so that as the carriage is moved across the imple-' ment, the'cutting edge 40 of the blade will move through a selected slot, and 'Will sever-the wall of a paper cartonenga'ged by the top plate 12 and lying between the flanges 14 and 16 as suggested by the broken lines in Figure. 2. From the foregoing, it is obvious that'the razor blade 38 may be readily removedand replaced through the open front end of the s1ot13'6 'Iri'use, it will be evident that upon introducing a carton into the space between the flanges 14 and 16 so that it engages'the' flange 16 and the top plate 12, the carriage 32 may" be introduced into a selected space between selected guides 24 so that the blade 38 will project downf wardly through a selected slot'18 and upon movement of the"carriage 32 from the flange 14 toward the flange 16, it will' be evident that the cutting edge 40 of the blade, 38 1 will "engage the wall of the carton engaged by the topplate 12 to "cm the wall along a line which lies perpendic'ular to the longitudinal axis of the carton, As the carriage 3L2 approaches mana ers, the forward end thereof will engage the stop 3i? and by the simple processofrocking the device on the bead 22 and rotating the carton, all four walls of the carton may he severed along a selected plane to produce either a cup, or by severing the bottom from the carton, a band may be produced.
While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
