COLLAPSIBLE PACKAGE OR CRATE- SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 767 ,051 dated August 9, 1904.
Application filed July 27, 1903. Serial No- 16'7,216- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, WILLIAM L. HAINEs and ROBERT J GRAY, J r. citizens of theUnited States, residing at Saginaw, in the county of Saginaw and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Folding or Collapsible Package or Crate, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to baskets or crates, and more particularly to that class that are collapsible, and has for its object the provi sion of a device of this character that will be simple and efficient in construction, as will be rated bottom plate and said bottom hoop being of less diameter than the top hoop. The
top hoop A is provided with a series of suit ably-spaced apertures a, while the bottom hoopD is provided at its upper edge with projections (Z, which form therebetween, when the bottom plate E is applied, elongated perforations G. The sides are composed of a series of wires B bent double upon themselves as a staple and terminating at both ends in circular eyes 6, passing through the apertures a, in the top hoop A, thereby giving a hinged con nection. The doubled end 7) of the wire is adapted to embrace one of the projections (Z of the bottom hoop D, and the wire itself is free to ride in the perforations C. In pracwords, the ends of the peribrations C to lie 1 approximately in alineinent with the apertures a.
In practice to fold the crate all that is necessary is to push the two hoops toward one another until the bottom hoop, being smaller, is within the top hoop. The side wires being hinged to the top hoop and free to ride through the bottom hoop will by this operation be brought to an approximately horizontal plane with the free or double ends extending toward the center of the hoops.
Having fully described the invention, What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A collapsible crate comprising two hoops of different diameters, the larger hoop having a series of apertures, and projections on the smaller hoop adapted to lie on a line between the apertures of the larger hoop, a series of wires connecting the two hoops, each wire being bent on itself; the free ends passing through the apertures of the larger hoops and forming hinges, the rounded end being adapted to embrace the projections on the smaller hoop, and a plate secured to the smaller hoop adapted to hold the rounded ends on said projections and forming elongated perforations through which the wires are free to ride.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of 75 two witnesses.
