JOSEPH HOLLELY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

BOX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 489,253, dated January 3, 1893.

Application filed June 21, 1892- Serial No. 437,453. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HOLLELY, of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, have invented an Improved Box, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved box for jewelry, handkerchiefs, gloves and similar articles, which is so constructed that the sides, ends and bottom are connected by means of a framework that is mounted upon the base and grasps the sides and ends.

The invention is intended more particularly to be applied to boxes made from glass, celluloid or similar material which is not adapted to be joined directly and it consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved box. Fig. 2 a longitudinal section and Fig. 3 a transverse section thereof. Fig. 4 a plan of the frame 0. Fig. 5 a longitudinal section of the post I).

The letter a, represents the base plate of my improved box.

a, a, are the sides and a a the ends. The base a, projects beyond the sides and ends and is provided near each corner with a perforation for the reception of a post I), that is provided with a threaded foot I), and a threaded tip 12 (Fig. 5) that fits into tapped sockets of the post.

0, represent metal frames, provided with a set of lugs c, and with radial perforated projections 0 at the corners. One of the frames 0, is placed upon the base plate at, below the lower edge of the sides and ends a, a while the other frame a, is placed upon the upper edge of such sides and ends. The frames 0,

are held in place by means of the posts I), to which they are secured by means of the perforated projections 0 The lower frame is grasped by the post at the juncture between post and foot, While the upper frame is grasped by the post at the juncture between post and tip (Fig. 5.) The lugs c, of the lower frame are bent upward and the lugs of the upper frame are bent downward to straddle the sides and ends a, a and thus all the parts of the box are connected in a permanent and at the same time in an ornamental manner.

The lid a of the box is secured to one of the sides a, by means of a leaf hinge d. The

leaves are connected to the side and lid re V spectively by means of screws 01, passing through perforations in the side and lid and engagingtapped openingsin theleaves. Thus the lid is connected to the body of the boxin a simple and effective manner. The knob e, of the lid a is in a similar manner attached thereto by means of the screw 6. To prevent the lid from coming into violent contact with the upper frame, any suitable rubberblockf, (Fig. 3) may be interposed.

What I claim is:

1. The combination of a base plate with sides and ends, frames that grasp the edges of the sides and ends and have outwardly projecting lugs and with posts engagingsuch lugs and the base plate, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of a base plate with sides and ends set back from the edge of the base plate, frames that grasp the edges of the sides and ends and have outwardly projecting lugs and with posts placed outside of the sides and ends and engage perforations in the lugs and the base plate, substantially as specified.
