PACKING- BOX OR CARRIER FOR ORANGES.
Patented Karen 6, 1906.
I A lication filed July 28 1905. Serial No- 271.572.
To all whom it may concern:
zen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Packing-Boxes or Carriers ollowingis a speci fication.
My invention relates to improvements-in packing-boxes or carriers; and the object is to provide a proper packing-box or carrier convenientfor packing-and carrying oranges and similar fruits for transportation. In the resent commercial usages of growers and s 'ppers each orange is wrapped in paper and any number .or quantity packed in boxes for shipment, the result being that even when refrigeration is used during transpor-' tation there is much waste and loss in fruit.
Thefruit remaining in marketable condition is more or less deleteriously affected. In this lan ofshipment the fruit exudes more or ess moisture, so that at the contacting places of the paper it becomes saturated with the exudation emanating from the fruit, and the conditions speedily produce decay, which is communicated to other of the fruit and results in much loss.- Should the fruit be shipped without wrappers and without refrigeratlon, the loss would be disastrous.
It is a primary obj ect of the present invention to provide a ack ng-box or carrier so ventilated that t e 'fruit ma be packed therein separated, from each ot er in anatural and dry state and carried in transporta-' tion with a minimum of damage.
I avoid the defects in the present mode of packin by the construction and arrangement 0 the paper packing-box illustrated in the annexed drawings, wherein- Fi re 1 is a view of the pa er blank from whic the box is made up. ig. 2 is a perspective view of the box made up, partly broken away and showing the partltions arranged in position, with two of theoranges indicated in'as man receptacles.
Referring to the rawings to be taken as a part of this s ecification, Fi 1 shows the complete bla from which t e box is made up. This blank is of paper of such strength and rigidityas to fit it for the usages for which 1t is intended and isofgsuch superficial. area as to be made up into a box of a capacity to take in the number of oranges intended to beshipped therein. It'may be stated that in the box illustrated twelve oranges mav' be placed, six in a layer and two layers high, the Be it known that I, ISAAC NAYLOR, a citilayers and oranges separated from each otherby partitions, as indicated. The blank is composed of an, end section 1, constituting one side of the box, which section 1 is provided with top and bottom flaps 2 3, integral therewith, but made flexible in connection thereto by score-lines 4 5. In the top and bottom flaps are made locking-slits 6' for the well-known purpose. are cut tongues 7, constituting partitionpieces when directed at right angles to the; lnner face of the section and adapted in such position to divide that portion of the box' into three compartments. At the inner end of the side section '1 is a square section 8, integrally but flexibly connected thereto and provided with flaps 9 10, which turn inwardly, and lie against the faces of the top and bot tom flaps of the section 1 and extend about one-half of the length of the box. To the end section 8 is flexibly connected a side section 11, constituting one side of the box and formed or provided with longitudinally-disposed tongues 12, the loose ends of which are directed outwardly or toward the ends of the side section, so that the tongues may be bent inwardly and directly across the box and divide it into three parts or receptacles. The section 11- i'sprovided with upper and lower flaps 11, rovided with lockin ears 13,
which inter ock with the locking-s 'tsl6. in the To the section|11 is flexi- I flaps of section 1. bly-connected the second end section 14, provided with oppositely-disposed side flaps 15 16, which turn inwardly and lie under the flaps of the side pieces of the box.' At the loose or free ed e is made a-paste-flap 17, adapted to turn 1n against the 'slde of the box and there be secured by cementation. In each end section ofthe box is made a central 0 eninlg 18, which aifords'free ventilation t oug the box and all the compartments thereof. In the'box is arranged a central vertical partition 19, extendin the length thereof and vertically one-hal the height In the side section 1 thereof, and on the u per edge of this parti- 'tion 19 is supported a orizontally-positloned partition 20', fitted to the interior of the box, and on the partition 20 is a partitlon 21-, ,ex-
tending longitudinally of the 'box and vertically occupying the one-half thereof.
It will be perceived that the partitiontongues when raised or turned to stand transversely across the box, reaching one-half the distance thereof, substantially constitute divisions between the compartments for the reception of the fruit and that the openings from which the tongues were lifted or removed serve to provide lateral ventilation to the fruit and also that the openings in the ends of the box afford opportunit for the air to circulate through the box an about the fruit arranged therein. It will also be observed that the tongues do not extend entirely across the compartments formed between the sides of the box and the faces of the vertical partitions, that the tongues are free to have somewhat of a swinging. lateral and yielding movement, yet the fruit will be held safely in the cells and not be damaged, as when a rigid separating medium is employed. The partition-tongues are made narrow enou h to only contact with the fruit about the middle thereof and hold the same in position in the cells or compartments and so that it never comes in contact. It will be further observed that the openings made by the turned-in tongues and the end 0 enings in the box aflord complete lateral an longitudinal ventilation to and about the fruit and that the fruit is never in positive contact, which is the main source of decay.
It is the purpose to sell the boxes and the fruit therein as original packages of one dozen; but of course-a lesser number may be sold therefrom and the remainder be left for future sales.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A packing-box for oranges of the character described, comprising a box-blank adapted to be folded into a rectangular form, and provided with narrow tongues'cut from the sides thereof and adapted to be turned on their bases to stand transversely half-way across the box, a detachable vertical partition extending longitudinally the length of the box 'and positioned between the free ends of the lower tongues and reachin one half the height thereof, a detachable l io tion sup orted by saidyertical partition and a lon itu inal vertical partition disposed on the sai horizontal partltion and positioned between the free ends of the upper turned-in tongues.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ISAAC NAYLOR.
