PACKING-FRAME FOR SHIPPING PAPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters latent No. 443,474, dated December 23, 1890.
Application filed March 8, 1890- Serial No. 343,083, (No model) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM BROWN, of Wilmington, in the county of New Castle and State of Delaware, have invented an Improvement in Packing-Frames for Shipping Paper, of which the following is a specification.
My invention has reference to packingframes for shipping paper; and it consists of certain improvements which are fully set forth in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, which forma part thereof.
I11 carrying out my invention I employ two metallic frames substantially rectangular in form and made of bars riveted together, so as to expose preferably fiat surfaces all in the same plane, and these frames I place upon the opposite sides of a package of paper and bind the said frames to the paper by means of cords.
The object of the frame is to prevent the corners or edges of the paper package from becoming damaged during shipment, and the particular object in making the frames of metal and of the construction hereinafterset out is to require the least possible amount of binding-cord, which becomes a waste product, since it will never be returned. These frames are for general use in shipment of paper by the wholesale, and are returned to the shipping-house as soon as the paper is delivered, and are therefore used over and over again.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View illustrating a package of paper bound in my improved frames ready for shipment. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of same on line to w, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the frames removed.
A represents the frames, which are formed rectangular in shape, being made of two longitudinal bars 13 B, the end bars 0 O, and an intermediate bar D, which are riveted together to form a rigid rectangular frame= work. Where the bars lap, one of the lapping-bars is bent, as at E, upon its ends, so as to form a recess in which the other bar meeting it at right angles rests, so that the surfaces of the connecting-bars which come adjacent to the paper are in the same plane.
As shown in Fig. 3, the ends of the longitudinal bars B B are the ones which are bent at E in the manner last described; but it is evident that, if desired, the bar 0 might be so bent. The cross-bar D is formed with the bends E upon its endsto receive the middle ofthe bars B, as this makes the longitudinal bars more strong than would be the case if they were recessed or bent at their middle portions to receive a straight bar D in place of one having the bends E upon its ends. The outer and upper edges of the bars B and O are rounded, as indicated at b, so that the wrapping-cords H and I in passing over the edges of said frames shall not be out or severed, which would result if the edges were sharp or ragged.
G represents the paper and is inclosed in a wrapper F, making a rectangular package. (Very clearly shown in Fig. 1.) This package is placed upon an inverted frame A, and a second frame A is placed upon its top, as clearly indicated in the drawings. After this is done the cords H and I are tiedover the package and around the frame, making a tight compact package having all of its upper and lower corners or edges bounded by metal. The complete package is very clearly shown in Fig. 1. It will be observed that by the lapping of the bars B and O we will have at the four corners of each surface of the package a re-enforcing metallic protectingcorner excellently adapted to resist the excessive strains which would be thrown upon the package at these parts. Furthermore, the raised portions H, formed by the lapping of the several bars B, (J, and D, act as feet to support the package when laid upon the floor, and thereby protect the cords from direct excessive abrasion, preventing the liability of the package to become undone. Furthermore, these projections H act as fulcrumpoints in tilting the package and prevent the corners from cutting the cords.
' I do not confine myself to the number of cross-bars D, as more than one may be used, if foundnecessary, in large packages. Neither do I confine myself to the rectangular shape of the frame.
Having now described my invention, what feet H upon one side of the frzune, the other I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters side having a, fiat even surface. 7 Patent, is r In testimony of which invention 1 have A frame for peeking paper and other artihereunto set my hand. 5 cles, consisting, of a series of bars having their -\VIIJLIAM BROWN.
