THOMAS FARMER, JR., F DETROIT, MICHIGAN. l
TRUNK.
SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 455,612, dated July l'7, 1891.
Application filed November 28, 1890. Serial-No. 372,939. (No model.)
ToV all whom) it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS FARMERJ r., a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Detroit, in the count)T of IVayne and State ot Michigainhave invented certain new and useot' the slats.
3o ot 5 joint connection ful Improvements in Trunks, of whichf the following isa specification.
The objectot' this invention is to construct a trunk ot'sheetniaterialpiessed into the der'csired shape, consisting ot-top and bottom sections, the bot-tom sectionsbeing formed with restsfor a till and depressions for the reception of handles, and the top and bottom Vprovided with corrugations which serve to stiften the r 5 trunk, and wooden slats secured to the sections, lwhich alsoserve to stiften the frame and protect the tru-nk.
In the accompanying drawings, -Figure-1 is an isometrical representation of a trunk ern- Fig. 2 is atransverse vertical section on dotted line X, Fig. 1. Fig 3 is a lengthwise vertical central section on dotted line Y, Fig. 2. Fig. L is a vertical section through the meeting edges of the sec Ifig. 5 is a transverse section of' one Fig. 6 is an isometrical representation of the metallic angle-iron used in the under side of the slats.`
The lower section 1 of the trunk is formed sheet material (preferably steel) in one piece of the required depth and outside ditions.,
inensions, havingV all ot its corners rounded..
The upper section 2 is formed in the same manner. These two sections have, a hingeon the1r rear side. AThe ends 3 of the lower section areftormed with depressions 4, within which arev located the 4o in the trunk.
tions handles for -carrying 'the trunk. These depressions form-end rests fora till placed wit-h- -the inside of the lower section, so that it projectsabove the upper edgeof the lower section, and is firmly riveted thereto, 'which serves to stiften the structure. 4The side porof this strip have portions 6 extending Y inwardl horizontally, which form a support 5o .tion i for the till, either alone or iu conjunction with the end depressions,as the style of the trunk may 'd formed with transverse corrugations 7,
which stien the structure. The upper secrotectine; it from rough usage. P s s A metallic strip -5 is located onmand. The bottomot the lower section has ametallic strip S secured to its inner lower edge on all sides, but does not extend to the lower edge ot the section. l 'lo this stri pl S is secured a strip of band metal, which extends even with the lower edge ot the section. A strip 10 of elastic material is placed .in the recess formed by the ou ter edge ot the section and theband-inetal strip. 'hen the sections are closed, thiselastic `Strip will come in contact with the upper edge of the metallic strip 5, projecting above the upper edge of the lower section, thereby forming an air and 'water tight joint, and the strip secured to the lower section will enter the recess formed in the lower edge of the upper section, thereby holding the two sections in connection with each other, where they can be secured by a lock'll. To the. lower section I have pivoted clasps 12 by a rivet 13, passing through the clasp, outside 'casing of the section, and metallic strip 5. This clasp extends across the meeting edges of the sections and has its upper end provided with a stud 1i, which enters a hole in the upper section, and, being made of spring-plate material, can be disengaged from tne upper section and turned on itspivot with the lower section, thereby permitting the opening of the sections when the saine have been unlocked; The top oithe upper section is provided with transverse corrul gations 15, similar to those fogmed in the f -lowersection and for the same purpose. To the outside of the sections are secured slats 10- for the purpose of strengthening the frame and These slats have a metallicl bar 17, bent at its edges, which enter notches formed in the slats, which serve to stiften the slats and making the frame much more rigid.
In producing a finish on the frame of my improved trunk I apply a coat of sticky sub stance to theinsde and fbefore it becomes hard I dust it. with fiock, which'when dry will produce a finish representing broadcloth; or it can be dusted with cedar or cam- ,phor-wood-sawdust, which will make a fine finish and will last a longtime, asthe trunk when closed is air and water tight. For .an outside iin-ish I apply a sticky substance and cover it with leather sawdust, which. can be burnished and ornamented to suit the trade. By this construct-ion I produce a very strong` and durable trunk, which is adapted to stand hard usage, and a trunk which will 'be much lighter and afford a more perfect se# curity to articles placed in the trunk, as it is perfectly Water-tight and in a great measure tire-proof. The construction also makes the trunk iusli all around and does away with all projections and guides.
claim as my inventionl. As an article ,of manufacture, a trunk ,formed of sheet material, having rounded corners and cleats secured to the outside, said cleats consisting of Wood having an angleiron located between them and the trunk.
2. As an article of manufacture, a trunk composed .of two sections having rounded corners, a strip ot' metal secured to the edge ot' both the top and bottom lsections, respect ively, with an additional strip of metal on one section inside of the iirst-named strips and overlapping the other section, and a strip of elastic material held in place to form a Wateltiglit joint and prevent racking' at the joint.
