GRAHAM, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGI OR TO GEORGE \V. PLUMIJEY, OF SAME PLACE.
WATCH-MOVEMENT BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,853, dated February 12, 1889.
Application filed October 15, 1888.
To CLZZ 1071/0120 it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES T. GRAHAM, of the city of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented. a certain new and use- 5 ful Improvement in Packing-Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
My invention has relation to watch-move ment packing-boxes and it consists in the elements and features hereinafter particularly described and claimed.
The object of my invention is to provide a packing-box of paper or similar material for watch-movements, which shall be so constructed as to firmly and compactly secure the movement within the same, and at the same time to protect the hand-sh aft and stem-wind- 2o ing shank and any other projecting piece of mechanism protruding from the side or face of the said movement.
A further object is to provide a watchmovement packing-box in which the movement shall be protected in shipment without the employment of an outer inclosing sheetmetal box, thereby reducing the cost of manufacture and of shipment.
In the accompanying drawings similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout.
Figure 1 represents a cross-sectional view of the packing-box with the cover on, showing also the position of the watch-movement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the box with the lid removed, the watch-movement also being removed from the inner metal case.
A represents the outer case, constructed of paper, pasteboard, or other like material. On the bottom of the case Ais provided a ring or washer, a, forming a shoulder and secured to the inside of the case A. The inside of the ring a has a diameter which corresponds with the outside diameter of the metal casing (7, into which the said metal casing C is fitted and firmly held in position. The shoulder formed by the ring a is of such a breadth that the distance between the outside diameter of the casing O and the inside diameter of the 50 case A will be equal to or greater than the length of the projecting stenrwinding shank Serial No. 288,195. (No model.)
0 of the watch-movement or other protruding piece of mechanism.
The lid A fits over the case A, as shown in the drawings, and is provided on the inside of 5 5 its top with a ring or washer, b, secured to the inside, which is of a thickness equal to or greater than the length of the hand-spindle e, projecting beyond the face of the dial.
The metal case O is adapted to snugly fit and accommodate the watch-movement f.
As will be readily seen, when the lid A is secured in its proper position upon the case A, the lower inside surface of the washer Z) bears upon the face of the dial of the watchmovement f, which is about 011 a level with the top of the outer walls or sides of the case A and holds the movement firmly in position in conjunction with the shoulder a. The i11- side diameter of the washer b is preferably considerably greater than the diameter of the hand-spindle d, not only for the purpose of clearing and protecting the hands when adjusted to the spindle, but also to prevent a direct pressure from without upon the center of the surface of the dial, bringing it to hear more on its outer edge.
It will be seen that by reason of the existing intervening space between the metal case for containing the watch-movement and the walls of the outer case the movement is very materially protected from the jar and jolt consequent upon transportation.
The efficiency, cheapness of construction, and simplicity of my device can readily be appreciated.
I am aware that there has been heretofore invented a variety of watch-movement boxes, some of which have been constructed of paper or other comparati vely-yiel ding material 'and which have been lined with and incased in metal boxes. The claims of my invention, however, are substantially different and .are limited to the particular features of my in vention described. 5
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
1. In a watch-movement packing-box, in combination with the outer casing, A A, and the inner metal box, 0, a ring or shoulder, a, secured to the bottom of the casing A, adapted to secure the box C in position and protect projecting parts, the internal diameter of which ring or shoulder is at least as much less than its external diameter than is the length of the still-winding shank or other protruding parts oi the watehanovement ineased in the easing C, substantially as hereinbefore set forth and desr'ribed.
2. In a watch-1nove1nent paeking-box, in combination with the outer easing, A A, and the inner easing, (1,21 ring or shoulder, a, provided in the inside of the casing A, haYinga-n inside dimneterequal to the outside dian'ieter of the casing (l, and the outside diameter of the said ring or shoulder a at least as much greater than its internal diameter than is the length of the stein-Winding shank or otherprotrudinp; part of the watch-movement incased in the casing O, and a ring or Washer, I), provided on the inside of the lid A, the thickness of which is equal to the length of the handspindle or other part of the Watchniovenient protruding beyond the face of the dial, and the inside diameter of the said ring or washer being greater than the diameter of the said spindle and of su'llieient diameter to accommodate other protruding parts beyond the [ace of the dial, in the manner and for the purpose as hereinbet'ore substantially set forth and described.
In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of October, A. D. 1888.
CHARLES T. GRAHAM. Witnesses:
