Arms 45 and 51 are nested between outer wall 33 and inner wall 32 to form wall angles 120' and 121, of top portion 11, wall angle 1% being formed between inner wall 32 and wall section 24 and wall angle 121 being formed between inner wall 32 and wall section 25.
Arms 46 and 52 are folded toward each other generally in alignment with side edge 21 of top panel 12, tongues 53 and 54 are folded upwardly on respective hinge lines 53' and 54', and the enlarged tongue ends 53" and 54" are inserted Within respective arm openings 55 and 56 thereby forming self sustaining Wall angles 122. and 123 of top portion 11. The provision of the self sustaining wall angles 122 and 123 affords greater rigidity and strength to container 110 and provides for fixed end walls 24 and 25 for receiving therebetween end walls 60 and 61 of bottom portion 13.
Bottom portion 13 is formed by folding wall sections 60 and 61 upwardly from bottom panel 14, folding arms 66 and 71 toward each other to a position generally in alignment with wall flange edge 77, folding tongues 79 and S upwardly on respective hinge lines 79' and S6, and inserting the enlarged tongue ends 79" and 86" through respective arm openings 81 and 82, thereby forming self sustaining wall angles 125 and 126 of bottom portion 13.
The internal portion 15 is formed by folding flaps 91 and 92 upwardly from internal panel 16 along crease lines 87 and 88, folding flap end portions 9? and 94 upwardly, folding lip 94 upwardly and folding hanger 106 upwardly along crease line 105. Hanger 166 may also be folded upwardly along hinge line 78 if desired as shown by the condition of hanger 16%) in FIGURE 4. The internal panel 16 is folded upwardly from flange 76 and flange 76 is in turn folded upwardly from bottom panel 14 until the opened container 114 assumes the position shown in FIGURE 4. The internal portion 15' is moved in the direction of arrow 13%) to overlie bottom panel 14 with spring flaps 91 and @2 extending toward bottom panel 14. Similarly, hanger 106 and lip 90 extend toward bottom panel 14 from top panel 16, all as shown in FIGURE 5.
The top panel 12 is folded upwardly from common wall 26 along hinge line 23, common wall 26 is folded on hinge line 27 and top portion 11 is moved in the direction of arrow 131 to telescopingly cover bottom portion 13 with internal portion 15 therebetween.
FIGURES 4 and illustrate the manner of packing container 116 with garments, the garments being shown therein as trousers 135 and coat 146. The first step in parking container lltl is to position the seat portion 136 of properly pressed trousers 135 on the bottom panel 14 with the trouser leg portions 13-7 and 138 extending over one end wall, shown herein as end wall 6% of bottom portion 13. The hanger 11.66 is bent downwardly at crease lines 73 and 165 and the coat garment 149 is positioned with its shoulders 141 and 142 respectively engaging and overlying shoulder portions 102 and 163 of hanger 166. After hanging coat garment 146 on hanger 166, the bottom portion 143 and arms 144 and 145 are smoothly positioned to extend into top portion 11, whereupon internal portion is swung in the direction of arrow 136 over the upper portion 146 of coat 146 and seat portion 136 of trousers 135. The leg portions 137 and 138 are folded upwardly over spring flap 91 and internal panel 16, as indicated by arrow 139, whereupon leg portion 138 rests on the upper face 150 of internal panel 16. The bottom coat portion 143 and arms 144 and 145 are folded upwardly over lip 96, as indicated by arrow 14S, and these folded coat portions rest on either leg portion 137 of trousers 135 and/or upper face 156 of internal panel 16. By moving top portion 11 in the direction of arrow 131 the top portion 11 telescopingly covers the bottom, portion 13 with internal portion 15, trousers garment and coat garment 149 properly positioned and packaged therebetween.
Referring to FIGURES 3 and 5, the retaining action of spring flaps 9i and E2 is readily apparent. The resilient flaps 9 and 92 engage the trousers garment 135 at spaced locations 160 and 161 and urges garment 135 forcibly against the upper face 162 of bottom panel 14. It is to be noted that the flap end portions 93 and 94 which are creased along lines 95 and 96 present smooth rounds or folds 163 and 164 for engagement with garment 135 thereby minimizing any scraping or marring thereof due tothe garment encountering a raw or cut sharp edge of the fibreboard.
Similarly the flaps 91 and 92 which are creased along lines 87 and 88 present smooth rounds or folds 165 and 166 around which the garment may be folded. As shown in FIGURE 3, when the trousers garment 135 is folded around internal panel 16 and flap 91, the trousers portion 167 may be contiguous with round 165 without any marring or creasing thereat. A round or fold 17% is also formed by bending lip t) along crease line 36, and the round 170 provides a smooth surface for folding the coat garment 146 as shown in FIGURE 5, thereby minimizing damage to the coat garment 14%).
It will be noted that end extensions 171 and 172 of internal panel 16 overlie portions of respective end walls 61 and 6th of bottom portion 13 when internal portion 15 is in its folded position shown in FIGURE 5. The ends 173 and 174- of lip 90 are fittingly disposed inwardly of respective end walls 61 and 66 and reinforce and strengthen such end walls when internal portion 15 is folded. The tapered ends 65 and 76 of end walls 60 and 61 facilitate the closing of container 116 by top portion 11 telescoping over bottom portion 13. The wall angles 122 and 123 are fixedly positioned to definitely receive therein the respective tapered ends 65 and 76 of bottom end walls 60 and 61 to further facilitate the closing of container 110.
The tongues 53 and 54 are preferably cut out of the common wall 26 so that tongues 53 and 54 can partially occupy the respective cut out openings 175 and 176 in common wall 26 when the top portion 11 telescopes over bottom portion 13. Similarly tongues 79 and 80 are cut out of flange 76 so that they can partially occupy the cut out openings (not shown) in flange 76 when the internal portion 15 is folded into its position between top and bottom portions l1 and 13 as shown in FIGURE 5. With the locking tongues cut out of portions of the container which are folded back on the tongues when container lift) is assembled and packed, the number of openings in the container and the degree of exposure therethrough are minimized, thereby efiectively protecting the packed garments therein.
