BANANA-CRATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 694,845, dated March 4, 1902. Application filed November 19, 1801. Serial No. $2,814. (No model.)
T0 @ZZ whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, CHARLES A. DoUD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of La Crosse, in the county of La Crosse and State of Wisconsin, have made a certain new and useful Invention in Banana-Crates; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my crate. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal central section of the same. Fig: 3 is a detail perspective view of lower head e and lower hoop c. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the upper hoop c and wrap f.
The invention has relation to shipping-cases for bunches of bananas and other articles; and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of parts,as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings the letter o, designates a crate-frame, which consists of the separated vertical slats which extend straight from top to bottom. y y
h b represent the exterior hoops, and c c the interior hoops, the latter being respectively arranged near the upper and lower ends of frame. s
Between the slats and the inner hoops is the cylinder of pasteboard d, which is tacked to the frame. This paper cylinder is braced outward by the inner hoops c c. Around the lower inner hoop c is attached the marginal portion of the lower burlap head e, which is suiciently slack to be concave and yet short, extending about to the level of the bottom end of the crate-frame when distended by the stem of the bunch of bananas. Around the upper inner hoop is attached the lower. marginal portion of the upper burla-p head or wrap f,
which is open at the side g and top h and is designed when the bunch of bananas is in position within the casete be gathered together and tied securely by means of a wrapping of twine, so as to hold the bunch of fruitsecurely within the encasement. This paperlined and bnrlap-headed crate is designed to adord a compact shipping-case for the fruit which has a eommodious size of interior chamber compared to the exterior size of the crate and is designed to present no hard angles or corners liable to cause bruisin g. The burlapheads allow free access of air and being xed to the upper and lower inner hoops hold the ends of the bunch in a stable manner. ally the paper lining-cylinder is made short at its lower end, so that it does not extend down to the bottom exterior hoop, this construction being preferred in order to afford a free opening k'forthe air at the lower end when the case is standing upright on its lower end.
Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
A shipping-case for bananas consisting in I nanas, and the upper interior hoop having the top head of burlap or the like secured thereto for covering in the bananas, subst`an= tially as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES A. DOUD Witnesses:
ALEXANDER B. MALL, FRANK WINTER.
