PAPER Box.
SPECIFICATION forming part of rLetters. Patent No. 788,381, dated April 25, 1905.
Application filed July l, 1904i. Serial No. 214.871.
fo all whom t may concern.:
Be it known that l, PETER G. SMITH, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Roslyn, in the county of Nassau and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Boxes, and l do declare the following to be a full, clear, and ex-.. act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in paper boxes.
The object of the invention is to provide a box having formed therein a discharge-opening of suitable size which before the package is broken is closed and sealed by the label of the box and when opened the portion of the box that is cut to form the discharge-opening will form the bottom of a chute or spout to facilitate the discharge of the contents of the box.
With this and other objects in View the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
ln the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a portion of a box embodying the invention and showing the same closed and sealed. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same looking toward the inner side of the discharge-opening. Fig. 3 is a similar View taken through the dischargeopening and showin(lr the same closed and covered by the labe Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the label broken and the cut portion of the box pulled out to open the same and form a chute or spout, the box being turned up in this view in position to discharge the contents of the same, andA Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank used in forming the box.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 denotes a box which may be of any convenient size, shape, or construction and which is here shown as a box similar to those used to contain cereals and formed after the manner of such boxes from a single piece of pasteboard adapted to be folded, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 5, to form the sides 2 of the. box and cut in, as shown in full lines, to form iiaps 3 and 4, which are adapted to be folded inwardly over each other to form the upper and lower ends of the box.
ln one of the side walls 2 and the fiap 8 on theend of the same, which forms a part of the top end of the box, is cut out a tongue 5. The portion of the tongue thus formed which lies in the flap 3 is folded over with said ap in forming the top of the box. The free end of the tongue. is folded back upon itself, so that the end will project slightly beyond the side of the box, thereby forming a lip 6, which when the box or package is intact will be covered by the label on the box. The folded portions of the tongue are preferably glued or otherwise secured together and are adapted to be slid back and forth between two of the aps 3, forming the top end of the box.
Within the box is arranged a lining 7, of paper or other fabric, which where it crosses the space formed by the tongue 5 is cut and folded to form a fullness, as at 8. Said fullness is glued to the inner side of the tongue, so that when the same is pulled out to open the discharge hole said fullness will be straightened out to form the sides of the discharge spout or chute. ln boxes not provided with a lining a strip of fabric may be cut and folded and pasted across the discharge-opening. land tongue, so that when said tongue is pulled out the same will form a chute.
When the box or package is in an original or unbroken condition, that portion of the tongue which is formed in the side of the box and the projecting lip 6 is covered by the label on the outside of the box, so that the same is entirely hidden except for a slight ridge or offset 9 in the label formed by the projection of the end of the lip, which end is folded down closely against .the vertical portion of the tongue, its position being indicated by the slight offset or ridge 9 and a hand or an arrow printed on said label and pointing to said ridge. Suitable directions are also printed on the label directing the user to open the box at this point.
To open the box for the discharge of any of its contents, the finger or thumb nail or a suitable instrument is drawn across the label along the under side of the ridge 9, thereby cutting the label at this point. The lip 6 may now be grasped and the folded end of the same drawn out from between the flaps, forming the top end of the box and at the same time bending downwardly and outwardly that portion of the tongue which is formed in the side of the box, the label tearing along the edges of the tongue to permit this part of the tongue to bend out. As the tongue is thus ulled out the folded portion or fullness of t e lining will be straightened out, thereby forming a web between the sides of the box and the adjacent edges of the tongue, thus making a chute or spout. When the tongue has been pulled outwardly to its fullest extent, the folded portion of the same is straightened out in line with the otherporl' tion, thereby forming an extension of the chute, and when said folded end of the tongue is in this position the lip 6 will engage the outside of the lower portion of the tongue, as shown in Fig. 4. After the desired quantity yof the contents of the box has been discharged the folded end of the tongue may be inserted again into the space between the top end iiaps and the lower portion of the tongue pushed back into place to close the opening formed thereby in the side of the box, thus closing the box nearly as tight as the original package. When it is desired to again open 4the box, all that is necessary is to ull out the tongue, as hereinbefore described).
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,
the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A box or package provided with a discharge-opening, a tongue adapted to be bent outwardly to uncover said opening and when so bent to form the bottom of a dischargechute, a fabric lining arranged in said box, said lining being out and folded to forni a fullness over said opening which when said tongue is ulled outwardly will form, the sides of said3 chute, substantially as described.
2. A box or package provided with a discharge-opening, a tongue adapted to be bent outwardly to uncover said opening, and when so bent to form the bottom of a dischargechute, a lip formed on said tongue whereby the same may be pulled open, said tongue and lip being entirely covered by a suitable label when the box or package is in an original or unbroken condition, and a fabric connected to the inner side of said box, and to said tongue and folded so as to open with said tongue when the same is pulled out thereby forming sides to said chute, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
PETER G. SMITH.
