WILLIAM \V. SCOTT, CHRISTIAN E. HEISE, AND CYRUS H. BLOSSOM, OF ALGONA, IOWA.
KNOCKDOWN BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356.854, dated February 1, 1887.
Application filed July 31, 1886. Serial No. 209,604. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, WILLIAM W. SCOTT, Cnnrsrmn E. HEISE, and Ornns H. BLossoM. citizens of the United'Stares of America, and residents of Algonn, in the county of Kossuth and State of Iowa, have invented a Knockdown Box, of which the following is a specification.
Our object is to save expense in storing and shipping merchandise in boxes by providing strong and durable boxes that can be readily folded together compactly when empty, as required to facilitate handling and cconoinizing space, and also readily adjusted and filled and closed without nailing and damaging the cover and the top edges of the box, as required to preserve them to be repeatedly lilled and shipped and rel urned empty and folded.
Our invention consists in the construction and combination of the four sides of a box, a loose bottom, it hinged cover, and a loose purt-ition, as hereinafter set forth, pointed out in our claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a top View showing our box open and ready to be filled with merchandise. Fig. 2 shows it folded as required for storing and shipping when empty. Fig. 311s a perspective view showing it tilled, closed, and ready to ship.
A are the wooden sides, and B the ends, of a box, that may vary in size as desired. Each side overlaps the square end of one of the end pieces, B, and is secured thereto by means of hinges c, that are fastened against the inside faces of the pieces A and B. The opposite ends of the some pieces A and B are mitered and secured to the correspondingly-mitered ends of the other two pieces A B by hinges d, that are fixed against their outside faces, as clearly shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3.
1 2 3 4 are metal strips fixed against the inside faces of the parallel sides A and bent in word at right angles at their lower ends to support the bottom of the box.
5 6 7 Sore notches in the lower edges of the sides A and ends B, that admit the horizontal portions of the bottom supports, 1 2- 3 4, when the box is folded, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.
lap the ends of the hinged cover when the box is closed, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.
G is a cover miter-ed and hinged to the top edge of one of the sides A that projects above the ends 13.
H is a. loose bottom resting upon the series of fixed supports 1 2 3 4, as shown in Fig. 1.
J is a loose partition resting upon the bot tom H and retained in a vertical position by means of cleats Ia, fixed against the inside faces of the sides A in such a. manner that when the cover is closed it will rest upon the top edge of the partition and prevent the bottom from becoming displaced.
m is a hook pivoted to the front face of the box to engage an eye, 71-, fixed to the front edge of the cover, as required to retain the cover closed. A husp or other suitable lock may be substituted for the hook and eye.
\Ve claim as our invcntion- 1. The wall of a box that is mitcrcd together at two corners and secured together by means of hinges fixed on the outside, and squarejointed and secured together at the other two corners by means of hinges fixed against the inside, to operate in the manner set forth, for the purposes stated.
2. The bottom supports, 1 2 34:, in combination with the hinged wallsections A, having notches 5 6 7 S, for the purposes stated.
3. The knockdown box comprising the two parts A and the two parts 13, mitered and hinged together-at two corners and overlapped and hinged together at the other two corners, fixed stops to support a removable bottom, a. loose bottom, ahingedcovcr, and a removable partition, substantially as shown and described, for the purposes stated.
