KNOCKDOWN CRATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,834,dated J' une 10, 1902.
Application flied/March 12, 1902.
To all whom, it' may concern: f Be it known that I, BERTRON K. BOYD, a
croft,county of Shiawassee,State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Knockdown Crates; and I de- Clare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description ofthe invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying` drawings, which form a part of this specification.
Myiinvention has for its object certain new and use ful improvements in Va folding or knockdown crate illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a View in perspective, showing the crate assembled. Fig. 2 shows the side and end walls in flat or knockdown condition. Fig. 3 is an edge-view of the same with the bottom indicated in dotted lines. Fig. iis a detail view showing one of the corners, portions being shown in section. Fig. 5 illustrates amodiiication of construction,and Fig. 6 illustrates another modification. Y Fig. -7 is a detail view of a solidY bottom.
More particularly,my invention is designed to provide a crate of this description for a variety of uses, as for potatoes, fruit, grain, and the like, of simple and economical construction and of superior utility. c
The side walls of the .crate are indicated by the numerals l and 2, the end walls being indicated by the numerals .3 and 4. The side and end walls or sections may be vvariously constructed andl are jointedly connected at their adjacent ends at top and bottom, as indicated at 5 and-6the'se sections, provided with upper and lower bars, (indicated at a and b, respectively,) having a socket-andtenon engagement,preferably,as shown. The socket and tenon of the adjacent sections are jointedly united by pins or analogous devices, (indicated at c.) These pins simply i pass through the socket and tenons of the corresponding top and bottom bars a and b. As so constructed theside and end walls may be When assembled,vthe said sections are folded in their extremities, being united by pins 5 and 6 at the top and bottom. As so constructed one of the extremities of the knock- Serial No. V97,830. (Nomade-l.)
down walls will be formed with tenons, the
`other extremity beingprovided with correspondingsockets. Thisconstruction permits the ready assembling of the sections. Instead of knocking down the sides and ends of the crate in one piece, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, said sections might be otherwise separated, as into two sections, if preferred. The pins may consist of wires to be bent over and below the joints. The ends of the slats of each section are'united by'upright bars e e in the form of construction shown in Figs. l,
'2, 3, and 4, which when the sides and ends are assembled are locatedadjacent to each other, asindicated in Figs. i and4. The
bottom of the crate is indicated at f, which may be formed in any suitable manner. To support the bottom, the two ends of the crate are provided with supporting ledges or brackets g, upon which the corresponding extremities of the bottom may rest. The uprights c are shortened at their lower ends, so as to permit the extremitiesof the bottom extending thereunder to prevent the bottom from rising.
To assemble the parts,the bottomis put into place on the. ledges g, the' four sides being brought into position thereabout, their adjacent free ends being connected by the pins c. In the form shown in Figs. l and 4 the walls are constructed of horizontal slats and uprights c. n
In the form shown in Fig. 5 onlyithe upper and lower bars are horizontal, said bars being connected by vertical slats.
In the form shown -in Fig. `61theside and end walls are constructed with solid sides and end pieceswith upper and Vlowerhorizontal bars, in which case the bottom would also be made with a solid flooring, so that the device might be used for grain.'
In folding out or knocking down the crate acouple of pins are removed from corresponda ing corners. The side and` end walls may Athen be stretched or folded out Iiat,`the botcorner-strips, and a separable bottom, said crate provided with ledges to support the bottom.
2. A knoekdown crate having side and end Walls formed with horizontal top and bottom bars, the adjacentends of said bars having a soeket-and-tenon engagement one with the other,pins jointedlyeonneetingadjacentsockets and tenons, interior abutting upright oorner-strips, and a separable bottom, said crate provided with ledges to support the bottom, said corner-strips out away at their loWer ends to permit the bottom resting thereunder.
3. A knockdown crate having side and end Walls formed with horizontal top and bottom bars, the adjacent ends of said bars having a sooket-and-tenon engagement one with the other, pins jointedly connecting adjacent the sockets and tenons, interior abutting upright corner-strips, and a separable bottom, said crate provided with ledges to support the bottom, said cornerstrips cut away at their lower ends to permit the bottom resting thereunder to hold the bottom from rising oi from the support.
In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two Witnesses.
