Application led December 23, 1899. Serial No. 741.353. (No mode To rr/ZZ whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, ALEXANDER WALKER BEERS, acitizen of the United States, residing at Bethlehem, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Boxes or Packages, of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to that class of folding boxes or packages which are constructed from a single sheet or blank of paper or other suitable material and are bent up into operative form.
The object of my invention is to providela simple and improved b ox or package of this character in which economy in material will be secured, which can be conveniently folded into operative condition, and which will be secure and effective in use.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specilication, in which like numerals otl reference denote corresponding parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a plan view of the sheet or blank from which the box or package is formed. Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View. Fig. 4 is a side view, and Fig. 5 is a top view.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the central or body portion, which comprises at one end the front member 2 and at the opposite end the back or rear member 3, intermediately of which members 2 and 3 is embodied the top portion 4. Said top portion is divided from the outer members 2 and 3 by transverse scoring or crease lines, as at 5 and 6, respectively, and said top portion 4 is pref-v erably further provided with transverse parallel scoring or crease lines 7 7, whereby it is adapted to assume the angular contour which is illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings.
Said top portion is provided in its middle or between the crease-lines 7 7'. with parallel slots or openings 8 8, arranged on a longitudinal plane with respect to the body 1. The front portion or member 2 is provided near its outer end with divergently-arranged slots or openings 9 9, and the back portion or` member 3 is provided4 at its outer end with a Wing or extension 10, having side tongues, as at 11 11.
`end or edge of the por .the main portion 27 -side of the box or package.
From opposite sidesfof t portion 2 project side i'vif, tively, said side wings beir t portion 2 by scoring o'rjc'r 1 and l5, respectively, ari dinal plane The winfg'li12'f1as inclined outer edge. 16 leadingl to eveled 'or r theblntre'li" for 2;*15 clearly Shown 6 in Fig. 1, and at a point'lb d'f-s'alil edge it,` is provided with a late rallyfpro,v v 17, beyond which the edge;iiiclinesfutwal and terminates in a projecting tongu'ell'3 Ipl jecting at the rear edgeof saidjiving '12.1' "Be-'j tween the tongue 18 an'dtliebody portionl `is provided another lip ortbn'gue, vtrlf i tongues 18 and 19 are 'respectively divided'` from the main portion-i201` of'thcy sideti/ifig'l 12 by scoring or creaseVl-inesas l21'ar'id22.7o
totl'i'e side` The side wing 13,- whic'h" islop'pfolsi ev wing 12, is provided with 1a similarbevel inclined edge, as at 23,` `from' wh-ichii'tsoi edge is inclined or be've'ledoutwardly, 24, and Within said beveledfedge'f24 isp vided a slot or opening-31,` parallel therewit The rear edge of saidf'wing'1l3fispiovide with two projecting lips'or tongues, and 26, which are respectively dividedfrin` of said side wing 13 by 8o scoring or crease lines, as at 28 and 29. The back memberor .port-ion 3 carries corresponding side wings12 and 13, respectively, which are the same relative construction as the side wings of the front portion 2. `The relative arrangement of said set of side wings is, howi ever, such that the side wing 12 and the side wing 13, respectively,project from the members 2 and 3 at the same side of the body portion 1, while a side Wing 13 and a side -9o wing 12, respectively, project from the meml bers 2 and 3 at the opposite side of the body portion 1. 'An alternate arrangement oi said. side wings is thus produced, whereby the pair of side wings 13 and 12 upon the respective 95 members 2 and 3 will conjointly form one The ap 10 is divided from the back portion 3 by a transverse scoring or crease line, as at 30. v
The operation and advantages of myinven- .io
tion will be readily understood. The complete device can be conveniently and economically cutl from a single sheet or.
blank of vpaper or other suitable material in the form just described and as illustrated in Fig. 1'. -To ioldi the boxv into'operative. position, it is simply necessary first to bend the front portion 2 over until its outer edge intersects the scoring or crease line 30, which divides the flap from the back portion 3. v
`bodyportion inthe position just stated,'it isA now only necessary to bend the outer flap 10 at its crease-line up in front of the lower portionfof the. front portion 2,When.its tongues 11 11 ymay be engaged inthe slots 9 9, thus forming a secure bottom-look. The sides-of the body portion arezel'osed by the side Win gs In'4 efleetingfths closure the side .wing-13 is. first turned inwardly at the seor.-y orcre'aseline ,15,wh'en' its projectionsQ and'26 will come beneaththetopfi and serve to-e'iectually protcct'the open joint at that point. VThe side" Wingfl? is new4 turned or folded -at its scoring-oiz''creasey line 14, so that it projects over-fthe side'wilng 1.3, its projection- 19 comin'gbeinleath the top-portion4. y'Telex-:k
'the Wi1'j-,ga12- andv 13-.to"gether., it isonly neces-gsary toengagethe tongue 17 Withth-e slot 31. The s idefistl-msformed c(')njointl`y bythe inf terlocked 1wings 12`and 113, andtoilock said. sidein connection with the body of the4 boxl it isonly'necessary toengage the tongue .18 of 1 theside wing 1 2 inthev slot S: of the` top 4, said ton-gue thus projecting over the top 4, as shown iu .-F ig.5..;-The opposite lside is closed in;v anV identicaLmanner. by means of the-pair of sideV yWings'12.* andf 1.3 at that side of tbe-body pore tion. From the foregoing vvit will `be under-= .stood that' all the partsor members of the box or package are :securely interlocked and that at the same time it can be conveniently opened for use when desired. v
Having fully described my invention, I.
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent--- j A folding box or package oi the class described, formed'of a single sheet or blank with crease-lines or scoring for. folding, and consisting of the front 2, the rear or back 3, thetop portion 4:, and the end wing or Hap 10, the foregoing parts constituting the main or body portion the side aps--12 arranged re"-l spectively at opposite sides of the respective front portions 2 a1id rear portions 3' and extending laterally therefrom, said side flaps 12 being provided at their inner edges adjacent to the top portion 1i with projecting iiaps adapted to fold under said 4top portion, and
theA side flaps 13 respectively arranged at opposite sides of the front portion 2 and back portion Sand extending laterally therefrom at-th-eside opposite from said iiaps 12,V said iiaps'13 being provided at their inner-edges -adjacent to the top 4 with projecting flaps .adapted to fold under said top, said iiaps 12 and 13..being coincident with the full `area of -the side edges of the respective'front portion l 2' and rear portion 3 so that they conjointly close-the full side of the box o-r package, the end flap 10 being adapted to engage with the v fro-nt 2, and the inner edge portion. of the' aps 12 adjacent tothe top 4c being adapted vto engage with said top,l substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
o vIn testimony that I claim the foregoing my invention I have signed my name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 20th day of December, 1899. I
