FOLDING BERRY-BOX.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 28, 1906.
Application filed m 3, 1905. Serial No. 268,037.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALMON B. COLEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Long Lake, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Bcrry- Boxes 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.
My invention relates to folding boxes, and has for its especial object to provide an improved box for use in transportation of herries and other fruit.
To this end the invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described, and defined in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, like characters indicate like parts througlmut the several views.
proved box. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the box, and Fig. 3 is avertical section taken through the box on the line 9; :c" of Fig. 2.
The four sides of the box are made up of a strip 1 the ends of which are overlapped at one side of the box and are secured together by clenched wire staples 2. This strip 1 is formed of four parallel kerfs 1, which adapt the strip to be folded at the four corners of the box.
The bottom of the box is formed by a thin flat plate or strip 3, having upturned end portions adapted to be folded on lines indicated at 3, the said strips being formed with parallel transverse lcerfs on such lines. Line up turned end of the bottom strip 3 is secured to one side of the box, as shown by the staples 2 and by additional staples 2. The other upturned end of the bottom plate 23 is loose from the adjacent side of the box, and to the upper edge of this loose end is rigidly secured a dovetailed lock-block 4. The lower edge and end of this lock-block 4 are beveled or made flaring in an outwardly direction and are arranged to closely engage with the correspomlingly-beveled edges of a seat 5, cut in the upper edge of the adjacent side of the box. As shown, the lock-block 4 is rigidly secured to the upturned free end of the bottom strip 3 by wire staples 4*. Also the ends of the block 4 and seat 5 are made to flare upward, so that the two may be tightly engaged by downturned pressure on the former. The so-called lock-block 4 is preferably made of wood of the same thickness as the sides of the box and may be conveniently made of the same material.
The box described, as is evident, is a socalled knockdown. or folding box. When the loose end of the bottom stri is raised, the body of the box may be folde together flatwise into the same plane or approx i m ately the sam e pl a1 10 as the said bottom strip. The said box is of small cost and is Figure 1 1s a plan view shmvmg the nnefficient for the purposes had in view.
\"Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Lettors Iatent of the United States, is as follows:
A folding box comprising a side-forming strip 1 arranged to fold into flat form and to be opened up into rectangular form, and a bottom-formirm strip 3 having folding ends, one folding not? being permanently attached to one side of said box-forming strip, and the other folding end thereof having secured thereto the lock-block 4, fitting into a seat 5 formed in the upper edge of the adjacent side of said box-forming strip, said lock-block and seat having dovetailed or beveled engaging surfaces that prevent separation thereof by lateral movement, substantially as describe In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
