BOX-CLOSU RE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,632, dated November 4, 1890. Application filed December 6, 1889. Serial No. 332,855. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ADELBERT M. BRAINARD, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Box, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvementin boxes and covers therefor.
The object of myimprovement is to provide a method of attaching the cover to the box in such a manner that the cover may he slid back from the top of the box and turned up without detachment from the box itself. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which.
Figure l is a top view of my improved box and cover on line 1 1, Fig. 3, showing the lid thrown back from the top of the box and slid down behind it. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of my improved box, showing the cover upon the top of the box, the cleat thereof being partially broken away to show the grooves. Fig. 3 is a side elevationof the box, showing the cover thrown back from the top of the box.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The box maybe made in the and of any suitable material. In each end A of the box, near the top and back of the box, are two meeting grooves Band B of suitable depth, one extending horizontally a little more than half-way across, the end of the box and the other perpendicularly at the rear part of the box about the same distance.
The cover C of the box has at each end thereof a cleat D. This cleat has at a point about midwaybetween the ends thereof a pin E, so adjusted as to fit into said grooves B and B. This pin is preferably driven into the cleat from the inside and does not extend through the cleat. It is obvious that this pin will hold the lid or cover of the box upon the top of the box when it is closed, and at the same time will permit the lid or cover to be slid back and down the rear of the box when it is desired to open it without detaching the cover from the box. The advantage of this construction is that the cover when the box is open is slid back out of the way, but is never usual manner detached from the box, and consequently can never be lost. 7
When the lid or cover is upon the the top of the box, it may be held by any suitable fastenings thereto.
The perpendicular groove may be omitted and only the horizontal groove near the top of the box retained without departure from my invention. In such case the-cover can be slid back from the top of the box and turned so as to stand upright; but as there is in such case no perpendicular groove for the pin to slide in the cover cannot fall entirely behind the box, as in cases where there is a perpendicular groove. It is obvious, also, that the cleat F, which is usually attached to boxes for holding eggs and other such articles to strengthen them and for use as a handle, may be dispensed with in the use of inyinvention, thereby lessening the cost of the box.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A box having on the outside of each of its ends, near the top thereof, a horizontal groove extending from a point about midway between the sides of said box nearly to the rear part of said box, in combination with a cover for said box, said cover having on each end thereof a depending flange, each of which flanges carries a projecting pin at a point about midway between the extremities of said cover, said pin being adapted to engage said groove on said box, substantially as described.
2. A box having on the outside of each end thereof a horizontal groove, and a substantially perpendicular groove meeting said horizontal groove, in combination with a lid or cover having on each end thereof a depending flange, each of which flanges carries a pro TO JESSE cox,
jecting pin adapted to engage said grooves,
substantially as described.
3. A box having on the outside of each of its ends, near the top thereof, a horizontal groove, said groove extending from a point about midway between the sides of said box nearly to the rear part of said box, as shown, said box having also a substantially perpendicular groove on each end thereof at the rear part of said box, on the outside thereof, said substantially perpendicular groove communicating with said horizontal groove, in combination with a cover for said box, said cover having on each end thereofa depending flange, each of which flanges carries a projecting pin adapted to engage said grooves,substantially as described.
4. A box and a cover therefor, said cover having at each end thereof a depending flange, each of which flanges carries a projecting pin adapted to engage a groove on the outside of said box, said pin operating as a pivot for the Io cover when the box is opened and preventing the cover from being raised when the box is closed, substantially as described.
