MYRON msRRow, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.
FRUIT-CRATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 289,754, dated December 4, 1883.
Application filed February 27, 1878.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MYRoN H. DISBROW, of Rochester, Monroe county, New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fruit-Crates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the de vice. Fig. 2 is a view of one of the sectional frames. Fig. 3 is a detail view.
My improvement relates to crates for conveying berries and other fruits in baskets or packages placed within the crates; and it consists of a crate composed of separate sections, each made of four strips of wood fastened together at the ends in square or rectangular form, the said sections being placed at proper distance apart and secured by thin angular corner-pieces of metal nailed thereto, as hereinafter described.
In the drawings, A A represent a series of the rectangular frames in crate form. Each one of these sections is made of four thin and narrow strips of wood or veneer, two forming the sides and two the ends. The ends of these strips are dovetailed or otherwise fastened together, forming the complete frame.
B B are the metallic corner-pieces, of which one is used at each corner of the crate. length is the height of the crate,-and in crosssection they are of rightangled form, one flange lapping the side and one the end of the crate.
To make the crate, the separate sections before described are placed upon a form at the right distance apart to form the ventilating spaces or cracks, the corner pieces are placed upon the corners overlapping the frames, and nails or screws are then driven into the wood through holes in the corner-pieces. A closed bottom is secured to the lower sectional frame, and a cover is hinged or otherwise attached to the top one.
The crate thus constructed of separate framesections and metallic corner-pieces connecting the sections, is peculiarly adapted to berrycrates, as they are thin, light, there is no projection in the interior space as where posts are used, therefore the baskets can fill to the ends as well as the sides, and furthermore, in building the crates the sections can be placed nearer together or farther apart with great facility and ease, thereby adapting the crate to the size of the baskets, so that the division-boards between the layers of baskets shall come opposite to or in conjunction with the closed sides of the frames.
The crate is much thinner and lighter than common crates where slats are nailed to posts,
and can be made at small expense.
Having thus described my invention, I do not claim, broadly, aslatted crate nor metallic corner-pieces; but
I claim A fruit-crate, as a new article of manufacture, embracing the combination of a series of rectangular frames and angle-irons, the frames being sustained at their corners and at definite distances from each other by the angleirons, as hereinbefore set forth.
MYRON H. DISBROW.
