BOX on CONTAINER FOWR BOTTLED BEVERAGES.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 758,369, dated April 26, 1904.
Application filed Jsnm zi, 1902. Serial No. 90,662. (No model.) I
To all whont it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PHILIP D. LAIBLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boxes or Containers for Bottled Beverages; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The objects of this invention are to provide an improved box or container for handling bottled beeror other beverage, to obtain in such a box or container having a separable bottom improved means for detachably con necting said bottom to the box, and to secure other advantages and results some of which may be referred to hereinafter in connection with the description of the working parts.
The invention consists in the improved box or container for bottled beverages and in the arrangements and combinations of parts of the same, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finally embraced in the clauses of the claim.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the several fig- .ures, Figure lis a side elevation of my'improved box. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, and Fig. 3 is an end elevation. Fig. 4: is a vertlcal cross-section on line :0, Fig. 2; and
' Fig. 5 is a'perspective view of the box with its parts slightly separated.
In said drawings, 60 ca indicate the upright side walls of the body portion of a beer-box of my improved construction, andb b the end walls of the same, all said walls being of substantially the same height and formed of wooden boards joined at the corners in any usual way and providing a body portion open at both top and bottom. Near the top of said body portion is an interior horizontal plate or board 0, supported upon blocks 0, projecting from the walls or in any other usual manner and being perforated, as at 0 to receive the necks of bottles and hold said bottles upright.
The lower part of the body portion of the box is adapted to pass down over and inclose a removable bottom or tray (Z, which fits within said lower part of the body portion. The lower edges of the upright walls of the body portion preferably lie in one plane and the said removable bottom OZ passes up within the walls above said plane, so that it is entirely concealed from view by said walls, and the box in exterior appearance is in no way dissimilar from the old style of one-piece box. At the same time the removable bottom being inclosed by the Walls is protected thereby against injury by contact such as might result from setting-down the box upon its lower edges or corners.
wardaway from the wall. Two of said springs are preferably used, placed one near each side of the box and in the same horizontal line. When the body portion is set down over the bottom or tray (Z, the springs are pressed back against the wall to which they are applied and slide betweensaid wall and the end wall d of the tray until they snap into recesses 9, provided for them in said end wall d of the tray.
'The upper end of such recess g, which forms "thestop to engage the end of the spring f, is
preferably made a solid bearing by carrying the end of cross-strips e, twisted a half-turn, through the end wall of the tray and cutting it off flush with the outer surface,as at 6 Fig.5.
When it is desired to separate the two parts of the box, the springcatches f are disconnected by a vertically-sliding releaser la, working in a shallow T-shaped recess 6 at the inner face of the end wall 6 of the body portion. Said releasercomprises a stem 5', with a handle if, formed at the top, and two oppositelyextending arms k at the lower end of the stem, the whole being preferably twisted out of a piece of wire, as shown.
The stem it lies in the upright portion of the T-shaped recess 1), while the arms k lie in the lower horizontal part of said recess, which is wide enough to permit them to slide up and down.
Strap-like guides '5, close beside the springcatches f, which are also within the recess 6, serve to confine the ends of the arms 72 to a vertical plane, the ends of said arms projecting beyond said guides to lie outside the spring-catches f and normally at the bottom of said guides 2', below the outstanding end of thespring-catch f, so that the action of the spring-catch is not interfered with. Upward draft upon the releaser, however, causes the arms to scrape against the spring-catches and press them away from the removable bottom 0? back into the recess 6 of the body portion, so that the two parts of the box can be separated. A block Z or equivalent piece is secured across the recess 6, above the height to which the removable bottom normally extends, to confine the stem h of the releaser in said recess.
The body portion of the box is provided in its end walls with the usual handle-holes 10 near its upper edge, and these are extended downwardly, as at 1', to provide an opening for the fingers to operate the releaser h from the outside of the box. The removable bottom (Z may also be provided with handle-holes 70 for convenience when using alone.
Preferably perforations p are formed in the end walls of the removable bottom d, one at each side of the stem IL of the releaser and just above the arms 7?, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5. A sealing-wire 0 can then be carried through said perforations around the releaserstem to prevent action of said releaser, and thus lock the two box-sections together, if desired.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. In a box for bottled beverages, the combination of a bottom or tray portion in which the bottles can be stood, a separable carrying portion having upright walls adapted to pass down over said tray, leaf-springs secured at their lower ends to the inner Walls of the carrying portion and having straight free ends projecting upward, the outer walls of the tray portion being recessed to receive said ends, vertical strips dividing the tray into bottlecompartments and having their ends twisted into horizontal position and projecting into said recesses of the outer walls of the tray and forming stops for the locking-springs, and means for releasing said springs from said stops.
2. In a box for bottled beverages, having a bottom or tray portion and a separable upper or carrying portion adapted to telescopically receive said tray, of spring-catches each comprising a vertically-disposed leaf-spring fastened at one end to one of said portions and normally abutting at the other end against a stop on the other portion, and a releaser adapted to slide vertically between said box portions, having arms extending between said springs and box portion having the stops to crowd the said springs away from said stops, and a handle portion projecting to be grasped by the hand.
3. In a box or container for bottled beverages, having a'body part with spring-catches f, thereon and a bottom d, with cooperating stops 9, the combination with said 'c'atches of a releaser 7L, adapted to slide vertically in a recessed way at the inner side of the body portion and having arms projectingacross said spring-catches and guides i, for forcing said arms against the catches as the releaser is slid, the body part of the box having ahand-opening for lifting and through which the releaser can be operated.
4:. A separable beer-box, comprisingabottom or tray d, having low walls and cross-strips for holding bottles upright, the end walls having stops at their outer sides formed by the ends of the longitudinal cross-strips projecting through, and a body part with upright walls adapted to come down over and inclose said bottom or tray d, spring-catches f, on the inner sides of said walls adapted to engage the said stops on the bottom or tray, and a releaser IL, for forcing said catches out of engagement with the stops when it is desired to disconnect the parts of the box.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of January, 1902.
PHILIP D.- LAIBLE.
