MORRIS HIRSUH, F NEW YORK, N. Y. Fontaine. Box.

To when@ it may concern: i

VBe it known that i., Monns liaison, s. citizen of the United States, resid' at New' York, borough of Manhatten, in t e county 5 of New York and Stateo New York, have invented ,certain new and useful Im rover'nents'in Folding Boxes, of which theA ollowi isaspeeication.

1o, same being more particularly directed to iinu provements in boxes of that class wherein each vis made of single ieee of peper-'steek by cutting and' scoring .t e stock at one operation.A -f- 1,5 The fief/rm of. my inventmns 0112- piece folding box the bottomfof which is 'made of a, number of le 'ers superm ed one uponlthe other and Al1 d or confn in place b? action of a. fold `forming a. port aoojtbebox-bhnk@ l Y other part of. the invention consists of cordonflaps Yto be iold'ed within or` whichsre located on one' yside o f the box; sncll eorneraps being inl 25 one with the end folds and .being adapt-1.

toprodnee strong closed corners thron'gh w 'oh merchendis'eor contents of the box' p eannot'eseape. i

Another part ofthe invention consists of 3o' uxiiiry on the corneriia lensuciionxiiary aps teasing.edopt'ed to bg thrust into the. space between layers of the bottom and said auxiliary apseoperet' with the oor ner-flaps to revent the' ortsmo the box from 35 felling orpilng eway om each other and aise producing reinforeed comers in the box. Another part of myinvention consists in the provision of e. l -lap sranged for engagement edgewse wit one eyer'of 'tle 4 moltipefplbottom in away to not oniy lock the several ottom ayers in plaee,but to also heid Athe Anew eral folds or poneis of the box in their assembled positions. a i My ilnprorvedV box possesses many vedven- 45 tages from a Vgime-'tical standpoint, x::ine among which are the'multipleoyer bottom,

which secures strength and overcomes leake of the material packed inthe box, and t erenforced corners, the letter also increas- 5o ing the strength of the box, overcoming nil tendencyof t contents to leek out,a.nd pre- -venting the eeverel panels or Walls from pullmg away under pressure of the contents.

I will iii-st proceed to escribe the blank and the box made by foldin the saine shown by Figs. 1 to 4, inolnsiiieg of the dressings.' In Fig. 1 thebisnkis niadein 85 e. sin le piece by cutting orstainping it by-e.

JThe blank has score-hues b o `extending erosswisevithereof from' edge .to 95 edge and also has otherscore-lines' qc' c c'Q' aewell as sb ort Secre-lines d d. The bottoni 1 is in one eontinno'us piece with the side folds 2 3, side iiop and the cover-flap 14.

The line of demarcation between the bottom' 'me' 1, the sidefokd 3, and the side flap are denoted by the eeore or crease lines e e. The slits o e sepei ete the bottom eps 6 6P from thebottom 1 sind the side fold 3, seid bottoni* aps 6 B `extending from ,the end foids i 5to io; the side ioid 3 it Wili be noted that thonet.

The comer-flaps 8 and and these corner-flaps are 4 5, res ectivel .fblded on the score-lines c c.v

adapte to be The gther corner-aps 10 1 1 are triangularly shaped, and they lextend from the cornerlaps' A9, so as to make therewith adouble corner-.Hap on eachend fold, thecorner-ila Vs 'i "10 '11 being -foldable onsthe score-lines d respectivel It should be understood that the side fo d 2 and the bottom flaps 6 `6 are the other score-line b, whereas the end foldsfoldable on one score-line b, that the cover-A ap 14 and thetop iaps 12 13 are foldable on 4 Y5 are foldableon thescore-lines c c. Fur# thermore, the fold 3 may be turnedu on the score-line e and the side flap 7 is ldable upon the fold 3 on the scorefline c.

' Althoughl have shown the box-blank' as beingjprovided with the cover-flap 1 4v and the topilaps .12 13in order to-producen. box which may be closed on! its top side; yet I wouldhave it understood that these parts ymay beomitted if it is desiredto produce a blank which may be folded into an open-top.

i .Said Bap 7 is provided wit notches 16 at the [corners thereof, thusV leaving a projecting' after whic ed e 17 between said comers, A

he operation of folding they blank A into the 4box of-Fi l, 2', 3 and 4 is as follows: The bottom aps 6 6' are turned upwardly 'onthe score-line `b at right 'angles tothe end folds i4 5, and these end 'folds are then turned bn the score-line c c so as to brin the end in their folded osi.

Thebottom 1 now folded'agaist the corner-fla Vs 10 11' and .one of the bottom-flaps The si e fold 3 is turned 'on the score-line e so as to lie against the` corner-flaps 8 9, and the side flap 7 is' foldedon-the score line e' so as to extend inside of the box and overlap the said ffold 3 and the corner-flaps 8 9. The i edge 17 Vof the side Bap 7 is adapted toengse;

in the Aconstruction shown with one o bottom flaps, and as the corner-lieps 8 9 are held betweenthe side fold 3 and the said flap .7 the' several parts' of the box are securely locked by the en agement of the side flap 7 l with the bottom aps,-such locking actionl of the side-flap 7 conning lthe bottom flaps from movementwithin the box. 'I he notches 16 of the side flap 7 ermit 'the fingers to be eng ed with the ge of the ila so as to with aw-t from engagementy wi tom -ilaps 13p. folded upon said box,- and-the cover-flap apil, being thrust inside of the si' e Hap 7.

y improved box has a multiple-layer bottom consisting of the bottom-portion I and the bottom flaps 6 6*.' This is'advantamus, becausethellquid of moist marchan is prevented from soaking through the box or out of the same. Furthermore, the

corners of the box are materially reinforced by the employment of the flaps 8,- 9, 10, and 1 1, which, it will be noted, provide unbroken or continuous reinforcements at the corners. i

ICO

These aps not only strengthen the box, but they prevent the leakage of the contents and contribute to the secar-iti several parts comprising t e box. It will be observe that the flaps 8 9 are inclosed Within or thrust between the side fold 3 and the .the botthus r'releasing the parts and perf j the, box to be unfolded. yThe mer-.B5 ,chandise may be placed inthe box, aps 12 14 closed uponthe'lap'ping topiiapvi the tuckof fastening the l ilap 7 while the other corner-Haps 10 11 lie or 6 of the multipledayer bottom.

One advantage of my im roved' box consists in having the 'parts loc ed securely tobetweemthe bottom 1 and lowermost ply -64 e spread positions. (Shown y Fig. 3.) This perrmts the several boxes to be thrust one Within the other or nested, thus saving space in ackin or storing the boxes and al' lowing t em to e readily se arated whe itv is desired to'use the same wit out permit g the boxes to fall apart during the operation of ppilhng them one from the other.

e box shown b Fig. 5 of the blank is the IIO glether, so as to' allow the top flaps 1213 and t cover-flap 14 to occu y the open or same in all essentie respects as the 4blank of Fig. 1; but in Fig. 5 the form or shape of the blank andseveral 'of `its arts are chan ed somewhat m order to pro uce a box wghic is somewhat longer and narrower than the box l of Fig. 3, the two styles of boxes being adapted to receive different kinds of merc andise.
