SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 586,827, dated July 20, 1897. Application filed November 13, 1896. Serial No. 612,023. (No, model.)
To aZZ whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY SCHMEER, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cardboard Boxes, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to the class of merchandise-boxes which are formed of cardboard or pasteboard; and the invention consists in an improved construction of such boxes, which invention materially reduces the cost of manufacture in respect to expense of labor and economy of consumption of material, and at the same time produces boxes which have their bottoms rein forced by a plurality of layers or plies of material formed integral with the sides of the box, and the interiors of the boxes are smooth and devoid of the overlap pin g flanges which are in the majority of boxes at present in the market; and the invention also consists in the combination, with a box constructed as aforesaid, of a cover embracing the box and having flaps inserted between the component plies of the bottom of the box, as hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved box with a correspondingly-shaped cover placed telescopically over it. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line X X in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the blanks from which my improved box is formed. Fig. at is an isometric view illustrating the method of uniting said blanks in the process of forming the box. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank from which is formed my improved cover of the aforesaid box. Fig. 6 shows the same folded to partly embrace the box. Fig. 7 is an end view of said cover folded to completely embrace the box. Fig. 8 is an end view of the box with said cover applied thereto, and Fig. 9 is a transverse section on line Y Y in Fig. 8.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the box, which I form of a plurality of separate elongated blanks placed one across the other at the central portions of their lengths and thereby form thereat a multiplex bottom of the box.
Then the box is to be of a rectangular shape, I form the same of two blanks a and Z), each of rectangular shape, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, which blanks I place with their central portions at right angles one across the other, as represented in Fig. i of the drawings. The two crossingportions of the blanks constitute a double bottom of the box to be formed. Said blanks are either scored or creased transversely along the lines of crossing, as represented by dotted lines 6 e, to allow the end portions a and b to be bent up at right angles from the central portions and form the four single-sheet side walls of the box, as illustrated in Fig. 4 of the drawings. Said bent-up end portions are tied to each other at their meeting edges to retain them in their position by means of strips f f of paper pasted onto the exterior of the vertical corner portions of the box thus formed or by other suitable and well-known means adapted to unite said meeting edges without causing any projections on the interior of the box, which I desire to form smooth, especially when to be used as a cover 0 for the box A proper, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, in which case the box and its cover are formed substantially alike, with the exception of the slight difference in dimensions required to allow the box which forms the cover 0 to be placed in an inverted position telescopically over the box A proper.
Such boxes, with their described covers, are thus provided with a double bottom and a double top, by which said boxes are reinforced, so as to specially adapt them for-packing therein hardware and other articles requiring strong packages. However, said double-bottomed box A also affords neat and safe means for applying thereto the cover D, which is formed of the blank shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings. This blank consists of a central portion 9 of the shape and dimensions of the open end of the box A which it is to cover. From this central portion extend at right angles two pairs of flaps h h and t i, which are bent up at right angles from the plane of the central portion to embrace the sides of the box A. The two oppositely-disposed flaps h h are formed with lateral extensions h h,which are bent inward at right angles, as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings, to lap around the cortom of the box and directly at the edges of said bottom, and consequently said flap extensions are more securely retained interlocked with the box and completely covered and protected by the outer layer of the double bottom of the box.
If desired, the flap extensions may be provided with gum to fasten them between the two layers of the bottom of the box.
What I claim as my invention is 1. The combination of a rectangular box having its bottom composed of two layers, and a cover closing the top of the box and embracing the sides thereof and having flaps inserted at their ends between the two layers of the bottom at the edges of said bottom, as set forth.
2. The combination of a square or rectangular cardboard box composed of separate rectangular blanks placed With their central portions at right angles one upon the other and forming thereat a double bottom of the box and bent with their end portions up at right angles from said central portions to form the sides of the box, and a cover formed of a blank consisting of a central portion closing the open end of the box, and of flaps extending from said central portion and bent at right angles therefrom to embrace the sides of said box, two of said oppositely-disposed flaps having lateral extensions lapping around the corners of the box, and the other oppositely-disposed flaps covering said lateral extensions and formed with end extensions inserted between the two plies of the bottom at the edges thereof, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 2d day of November, 1896.
