Definitions

  • the present invention relates to boxes adapted for example to contain ammunition and which are intended to be stacked. It is an object of the invention to provide the boxes with means whereby when stacked they will not slip.
  • a box for example for containing ammunition, has at least two opposed side walls provided with projections or recesses so arranged that where the boxes are stacked, the projections or recesses on the adjacent walls of juxtaposed boxes will make mutual nesting engagement.
  • the walls are formed with beads for example arranged in curved or rectangular patterns, which stand out in relief and which are appropriately dimensioned and positioned to enable the beads of juxtaposed boxes to make nesting engagement. If desired howeyer the walls may have a series of pip-like projectionsin place of the beads.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of an ammunition box according to one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an end elevation
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view.
  • an ammunition box consists of the body 1 and a lid 2.
  • Each longer side wall of the body 1 is provided with an outwardly projecting bead 3 arranged in the pattern of a rectangle.
  • 'I he bead 3 on one side wall defines a rectangular pattern of different dimensions to that on the opposed side wall such that when the boxes are stacked, the rectangles on adjacent walls of juxtaposed boxes will make nested engagement and so prevent the boxes in the stack slipping.
  • the extent the heads 3 project is such that, when the boxes are stacked one upon the other on their sides, the lids 2 can be opened from the front.
  • the lid has fixing straps 4 extending across the outer face of the lid, and connected to fixing books 5 hinged on the end wall of the box. In order to prevent the fixing straps 3,039,650 Patented June 19, 1962 from projection outwardly of the lid they are located in recesses in the lid.
  • the beads 3 need not be of rectangular pattern but may define any other geometrical shape such as for example, an ellipse.
  • one side wall may have a projecting bead of rectangular, elliptical or other pattern and the opposed side wall may have a groove or recess of corresponding shape such that when a series of boxes are stacked, the bead and groove of the side walls of juxtaposed boxes will make nesting engagement.
  • the opposed side walls are formed with a series of pip like projections, or one side wall may have a series of pip like projections and the other a series of dimple or like shaped recesses such that when the boxes are stacked, the pips on the wall of one box will nest in recesses on the adjacent wall of a juxtaposed box.
  • An ammunition box of rectangular shape comprising a projecting head in each of its two opposing side Walls of the box, the bead on one side being differently arranged to that on the other side so that when the boxes are stacked adjacent to each other the beads on the adjacent walls of the juxtaposed boxes will make mutually nesting engagements and each projecting bead being in the form of a rectangle, a removable lid extending across a wall other than one having the projecting bead, a hook hinged to each end wall, and a fixing strap secured to each hook and extending across the lid, the side beads being of such dimensions that when the boxes are stacked side by side they will be spaced sufiiciently by said beads to enable the lids to be removed from the front of the stack.
