CHARLES E. PIERCE, OF CAMBRIDGEPORT, MASSACHUSETTS.
HASP-SUPPORT FOR CANS OR BOXES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 391,074. dated October 16, 1888.
(No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. PIERCE, of Cambridgeport,in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hasp-Supports for Cans or Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a box having a hinged lid and a hasp thereon adapted to engage a catch or shoulder on the body of the box,and particularly to sheet-metal boxes such as are used for holding crackers. The hasp is usually made of a strip of sheet metal hinged at one end on the wire which stiffens the edge of the cover of the box,'and formed at the other end to engage a shoulder attached to the body of the box.
Heretofore the hasp, when hinged on the said wire and carried by the cover, has been free to swing under the cover when the latter is raised, so that the hasp is liable to be caught between the cover and the edge upper of the box when the cover is closing,and thus be bent or broken.
To obviate this liability is the object of my invention,which consists in a cover having a hasp hinged to its edge and a stop or support affixed to the cover and projecting below the same in such position as to prevent the hasp from swinging inwardly far enough to be caught between the cover and box, as I will now pro eeed to describe.
The accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification,represents a sectional view of a cracker box or can provided with my improvement.
In the drawing, a represents the body of the box or can,and 1) represents the'cover, hinged to the body a at c.
(1 represents the usual hasp, hinged at e to the forward edge of the cover, said hasp being mounted, as usual, to swing on the wire which stiffcns the edge of the cover, and f represents the shoulder, which is attached to the front side of the can to engage the swinging end of the hasp.
In carrying out my invention I attach to the cover I) a stop or support, h, which is preferably a strip of sheet metal soldered to the top and front portion of the cover and projecting below the cover in position to form a bearing for the hasp and prevent thelatter from swinging inwardly far enough to touch the front edge of the box when the cover is swinging down t0 place. The stop h is in this case slightly inclined outwardly from the cover,so as to support the hasp in an inclined position,as shown in dotted lines in the drawing. When the cover is closed, the stop h rests against the shoulder f, which engages the hasp.
I do not limit myself to the particular form of stop here shown,nor to the application of a hasp support or stop to this form of box or can, but regard my invention as including any stop applied to a box or can cover and arranged to support the hasp hinged to said cover and to prevent said hasp from swinging under the cover and being caught by the edge of the box.
I clain1- A box or can cover having a hasp hinged to its edge and a stop or projection below said edge and arranged to prevent the hasp from swinging inwardly far enough to collide with the edge of the box or can, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two snbscribing witnesses, this 27th day of October, A. D. 1887.
CHARLES E. PIERCE.
