///J ATTOH N EY TATES PATENT OFFICE.
\VILLIAM \VATT, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO THE THOMP- SON & NORRIS COMPANY, OF BROOKLYN, NEV YORK.
DISPLAY-BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 467,964, dated February 2, 1892. Application filed April 29, 1891. Serial No. 390,949- (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM WATT, of Boston, Suffolk county, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Boxes for Containing and Displaying Small Articles of Merchandise, of which the following is a Specification.
My improvement relates to boxes suitable for containing small articles of merchandise and for displaying the same upon the counter of a store or other place. Boxes of, this kind have been used for druggists wares, such as articles packed in small boxes, and have been constructed so that the bodies of the boxes would be sustained in an inclined position to display their contents.
My improvement consists in a novel construction of a box of the character described.
I will describe a box embodying my improvemeut,and then point out the novel features in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a box embodying my improvement in condition for displaying its contents. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the same in the same condition. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section of the same when closed up.
Similar letters of reference design ate corresponding parts in all the figures.
A designates the body of the box. It is shown as of rectangular form and as containing a number of small boxes or packages I. B designates the cover of the box. This is shaped to correspond with the body of the box and has a rim Z) of a size to slip over the body of the box. The body and cover of the box may be made of binders board or any other suitable material.
C designates a strip or piece of binders board or other suitable material extending from the cover B to the body A of the box. It is flexible at the points of attachment to the cover and body of the box or hinged thereto. As here shown, it is united with the cover of the box by being attached, through the agency of adhesive substance, to the inside of one part of the rim 1), and is scored or otherwise made flexible on a line coincident or approximately coincident with the edge of the rim b. Itis also shown as being attached to the bottom of the bodyA of the box through the agency of adhesive substance and as made flexible by scoring or otherwise at some distance from one side of the body of the box. These flexible lines in the strip or piece O in effect constitute hinges. It willbe seen that when the cover is closed upon the body of the box the strip or piece 0 will extend across the body of the box and lie flat against the same. Fig. 3 illustrates this and makes it clear that the strip or piece 0 is attached to one side of the cover and attached to the bottom of the body of the box near the reverse side of the body of the box. It will be seen from Figs. 1 and 2 that if the cover be lifted off the body of the box, inverted, and laid on a counter or other support and the body of the box be adjusted into an inclined position and then has its lower side inserted in-the cover thelatter will be sustained in position by the coverand by the strip or piece C.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, with the body of abox and a cover therefor, of a strip or piece fastened at one extremity to the cover, extending thence across the bottom of the body of the box, and at its other extremity fastened to the bottom of the body of the box ata point near the opposite side to that where the attachment of the strip or piece with the cover is made, substantially as specified.
2. Thecombination, with the body A 'of a box and a cover B therefor, of a strip or piece 0, fastened at one extremity to one side of the rim of the cover and made flexible near its point of attachment thereto, extending thence across the bottom of the body of the box, and at its other extremity fastened to the bottom of the body of the box at a point near the opposite side to that where the attachment of the strip or piece with the cover is made and made flexible near this point of attachment, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. I
\VILLIAM WATT.
