- the first object of the invention is to render the vessels of those two prior patents more perfectly slop-proof, to prevent the liquid escaping from the vessel while the latter is being handled, and its second. object is to stiffen the cover of the vessel, so as to brace the upper portion of the body of the vessel and hold it firmly in shape and prevent it collapsing while being carried by the bail.
- a further feature of my invention consists in the provision of novel fastening devices for securing together the several folds constituting the opposite side walls and then fastening together the vertical extensions of said walls when bent downward to horizontal position across the cover of the vessel.

- This much of the blank is substantially the same as the blank shown in the Crume patent before referred to.
- the corners of the extensions II and adjacent corners of the extensions I may be bent outward and tucked behind the parts II and I, between the latter and the parts G, as seen in Figs. 3 and 8.
- This will bring the sides of the vessel into final shape, in which shape they may be held by the attachment of the fastening devices K L, the former eonsi sting of a sheet-metal tongue passed through and'clenched upon the parts G G, I I, and II, at one side of the vessel, and the latter of the sheet-metal plate ll, passed through and clenched upon the same parts at the opposite side of the vessel, and having an opening for the reception of the tongue K when these parts are bent down upon'thc top of the vessel and fastened to each other.
- the second feature of my invention consists in stiffening the cover portions E E in such manner as to brace the top of the vessel and prevent its collapsing when filled and carried by the bail. This has heretofore been accomplished by securing stiffening boards or strips upon said cover portions; but this adds to'thc expense of the vessel, both in materials and cost of labor, and I have provided means for accomplishing the same result without the provision of such separate stiffening devices.

PAPER VESSEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 571,831, dated November 24, 1896.
Serial No. 5&3392. (No model.)
That class of paper vessels used for carrying oysters and liquids and serniliquid substances; and it consists in an improvement upon the paper vessels shown and described in Patents No. 6,810, to John L. Sefton, and N0.5l5,820, to \Villiam E. Crnme.
The first object of the invention is to render the vessels of those two prior patents more perfectly slop-proof, to prevent the liquid escaping from the vessel while the latter is being handled, and its second. object is to stiffen the cover of the vessel, so as to brace the upper portion of the body of the vessel and hold it firmly in shape and prevent it collapsing while being carried by the bail. These two features of my invention are independent improvements upon the paper vessels as heretofore made, and either may be employed to advantage without the other. I
A further feature of my invention consists in the provision of novel fastening devices for securing together the several folds constituting the opposite side walls and then fastening together the vertical extensions of said walls when bent downward to horizontal position across the cover of the vessel.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan ion of the flat blank from which the vessel is folded, the dotted lines indicating the creases along the lines of fold; Fig. 2, a transverse vertical section through the folded vessel before the corners of the side extensions are folded down; Fig. 3, a similar view after said corners are bent into place; Fig. 4, a perspective view of the vessel with the cover bent down into position; Figs. 5 and 6, perspective views of the vessel, showing a different way of folding the cover; Figs. 7 and 8, sectional details on the lines 7 7 and 8 8 of Figs. 2 and 3, respectively; and Figs. 9 and 10, perspective details of the fastening devices.
The same letters of reference are used to indicate identical parts in all the drawings.
a The body of the vessel consists of the bottom A, ends B B, sides C C, and the folds D D, intermediate the sides and ends at the four corners. The ends B B are provided with lateral extensions E E, which form the top or cover of the vessel when the blank is folded into vessel shape, and these extensions E E are connected with the corner-folds D D at their respective ends of the blank by the parts F G, separated from each other by the crease 7' and from the extension E by the crease 7c, the parts G forming end extensions of the corner-folds D and the parts F side extensions of the parts E E, constituting" the cover of the vessel. This much of the blank, with the exception hereinafter pointed out, is substantially the same as the blank shown in the Crume patent before referred to. In folding such a blank into vessel shape the sides and ends are brought to upright position and the corner-flaps D D bent over upon the outer faces of the sides C C and overlapped there on, one upon another, as seen in Figs. l and 5. Nhen brought to such position, the parts G G at opposite sides of the vessel will overlap each other and project vertically above the upper edges a. a. of the sides 0 C of the vessel, Figs. 2 and 3, and form vertical extensions of the side Walls of the vessel, adapted to bend down over the cover portions E E when the latter are brought to position to close the vessel, as in Fig. -l. Under this construction, which is that of the Crume patent, the solid walls of the sides of the vessel terminate at the upper edges CL aof the parts C C, the cover of the vessel bein g bent down upon said edges when in place, and such beingthe case it is difficult to prevent the liquid in the vessel from slopping over the upper edges a. u of the sides C O and running down their outer sides between them and their overlapped corner-flaps Whenever the filled vessel is jostled or carelessly handled. These vessels as heretofore constructed have therefore not been slop-proof, and for that reason have, to a considerable extent, proved unsatisfactory for the handling of liquids and seniiliquid substances. I have llll proved the vessel in this respect and made it substantially slopproof by providing the sides C C with the extensions II II, separated i from the sides C G by the creases d, and the corner-flaps D with the extensions I, separated from the parts G by the creases i and from the extensions II by the creases f, Fig. 1. lViththese extensions the side walls of the vessel extend above the upper edges of the parts 0 substantially as high as the parts Gr in the vessel as heretofore made, Fig. 2. The extensions H II are provided with the diagonal creases g and the parts I with the corresponding creases 9, so that in folding the blank into vessel shape, after the blank has been brought to the shape shown in Figs. 2 and 7, the corners of the extensions II and adjacent corners of the extensions I may be bent outward and tucked behind the parts II and I, between the latter and the parts G, as seen in Figs. 3 and 8. This will bring the sides of the vessel into final shape, in which shape they may be held by the attachment of the fastening devices K L, the former eonsi sting of a sheet-metal tongue passed through and'clenched upon the parts G G, I I, and II, at one side of the vessel, and the latter of the sheet-metal plate ll, passed through and clenched upon the same parts at the opposite side of the vessel, and having an opening for the reception of the tongue K when these parts are bent down upon'thc top of the vessel and fastened to each other.
From the foregoing description it will be understood that there is no passage for the escape of liquids from the interior of the vessel except over the upper edge of the vertical extensions II II of the sides 0 l, and when the vessel is folded into closed position in the manner above described these extensions are bent downward to horizontal position over the top of the vessel, since they form part of the vertical extensions of the side walls, which are bent down and fastened together in the manner described. The result is that there is no chance for the liquid to escape over the upper edges of the sides of the vessel and run down beneath the overlapped corner-folds as heretofore, and as the cover portions E E fit snugly upon one another and are overlapped nearly the full width of the vessel and are held down by the side extensions bent upon them and secured by the fastening devices it follows that the vessel is made substantially slop-proof. So, too, in the vessels as heretofore made without the side extensions II II the only means for securing the corner-flaps D D to the sides 0 (I was by passing the ends of the wire bail through all of said parts and clenching or bending them over upon the inner surfaces of the sides 0 O. This made a perforation entirely through each side of the vessel, which, though at first entirely filled by the ends of the bail passing through them, were apt to become enlarged by wear and strain upon them when the filled vessel was carried by its bail and permit the contents of the vessel to leak out and run down the sides.
In my improved vessel the corner-folds are secured to the sides. So, too, the projecting ends of the bail upon the inner surfaces of the side walls of the vessel, even when clenched down upon the same in the usual manner, interfered more or less with the nesting of the vessels. As is well known, for the purpose of storing or shipping vessels of this character in compact form they are nested one within another while in open position, as in Figs. 2 and 3, fifty or a hundred vessels being usually snugly fitted one within another in each nest. Ileretofore in so arranging the vessels the projecting ends of the wire bail upon the inner surfaces of the side walls of each vessel were apt to stand in the path of the overlapped corner-flaps D D of the next vessel above as the latter was pressed down into the lower vessel and to contact with such corner-flaps at their point of junction immediately below the point where the ends of the bail pass through them, Figs. 4 and U, and either arrestthe descent of the upper vessel and prevent it fitting snugly within the lower one or serving to mutilate it if it were forcibly pressed downward into the lower one of the vessel by the fastening devices K.
L, passed through the extensions II II of the sides, so that it is not necessary to pass the ends of the wire bail through the sides C O at all, it being suflicient for their attachment to the vessel to pass them through the cornerfolds alone and clench them upon the inner surfaces thereof outside the sides O C. There need, therefore, be no projecting ends of the wire bail upon the inner surfaces of the side walls of the vessel to interfere with the nesting of the vessels in the manner above described, and no holes through said side walls to permitleakage of the contents of the vessel.
The second feature of my invention consists in stiffening the cover portions E E in such manner as to brace the top of the vessel and prevent its collapsing when filled and carried by the bail. This has heretofore been accomplished by securing stiffening boards or strips upon said cover portions; but this adds to'thc expense of the vessel, both in materials and cost of labor, and I have provided means for accomplishing the same result without the provision of such separate stiffening devices. To that end I provide the cover portions E E with one or more, preferably two, creases K, extending transverselyacross the same and across the parts F F. \Yhen the cover portions are bent down into position to close the vessel, as in Fig. 4-, these creases serve to brace the top of the vessel against pressure applied to its sides and prevent its collapsing under the weight of its contents when carried by the bail. These creases also permit the cover to be folded down in such a way, if desired, to still more firmly brace the cover of the vessel against late al pressure and remove any possibility of the liquid escaping between the overlapped portions E E, in the manner shown in Figs. 5 and 6, instead of that shown in Fig. 4. In Fig. 5 the vertical extensions of the side walls are first bent outward to horizontal position and the cover portions E E brought together, as shown, the parts thereof outside or above theinner creases K K fitting against each other in vertical position,while the balance of the parts E E rest in horizontal position. The verticallyq irojecting portion is then bent over upon itself along the upper or outer creases K, and folded down upon the horizontal portion forming the top of the vessel, and the side extensions then bent upward, as seen in Fig. 6. The top of the vessel is thus braced against lateral pressure by live thicknesses of paper, while the folding of the ends of the parts E E tog-ether upon them-- selves completely closes the vessel and prevents any possibility of the liquid escaping. After the parts are brought to the position shown in Fig. 6 the side extensions are bent .down across the top of the vessel and secured but in the present instance such fasteningdevices are novel, and their construction and application to the vessel constitute a third feature of my invention. As seen in Figs. 9 and 10, each consists of a strip or plate of sheet metal having its lower end a bent at right angles to the main portion of the strip or plate, while struck from the plate at a suitable distance above its bent lower end is a tongue (Z, projecting outward over the said end 0. The several folds of the paper blank constituting the side walls of the vessel are provided with slits c, Fig. 1, which coincide with each other when the blank is folded into vessel shape, as seen in Figs. 2 to 6. In ap plying the fastening device K or L to the side of the vessel its lower bent end 0 is passed through-the slits c, and the latter are prefer ably located at such distance from the upper edge of the side wall that the projecting tongue 41 will fit snugly over said edge. The end 0 and tongue (Z are then bent toward each other and pressed tirinl y against. the side wall of the vessel, the end of one overlapping the end of the other where they are long enough for that purpose, as seen in Figs. at to 6. In their general construction and method of applicat-ion the fasteners K and L are the same, as above described, but in order that the fastener L may have an aperture for the reception of the fastener K the fastener L is made of a wider strip or plate and its tongue (Z is out from the upper portion of the plate and bent downward, leaving an aperture above the upper edge of the side wall of the vessel for the reception of the fastener K when the side-wall extensions are bent downward to close the vessel. The tongue (1 of the fastenerli might be struck from its plate at the same distance from its lower end as is the tongue (I of the fastener L, but in the present instance it is out at a lower point in the plate and bent upward instead of downward, so that the two tongues stand at about the same distances from the lower ends of the respective fasteners.
The provision of the tongues d in the fasteners, overlapping and bent down over the upper edges of the side walls of the vessel, serves to very firmly secure the fasteners to the vessel and prevent their becoming loosened in handling or use, as they frequently do where they are secured only by their lower ends passing through the walls of the vessel and bent upward against the same. These fasteners are especially useful in cooperation with each other, as illustrated and described in this case, but their utility is not confined to such cooperative use, and they may be advantageously employed upon other and different paper vessels independently or in cooperation with each other.
llaving thus fully described my invention, l claiin 1.
