FREDFJRTCK R. VRNGN, OF FREEPORT, NEW YORK.
KNOCKDOWN BOX.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Eatented May 7, 190'?.
Application filed July 10,1905. Serial No. 268,931.
To all whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, vFREDERICK R. VER- NON, residing at Freeport, in the county of Nassau and State of New York, have invent-- ed a new and useful Improvement in Knockdown Boxes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.'v
The object of my invention is to produce a box adapted for packing eggs 'and like articles, wherein the rack will form. practically an integral part of the box so that when the box is set up it is completed, without the necessity of placing therein separate racks.
The construction is such that the rack may be folded within the box, lying flat on the bottom thereof so that the boxes may be nested, and so that many boxes, when nested, will take up only a small space. The construction is also such that it desired, the boxes may be folded fiat when not in use.
Other objects will appear from the hereinafter description.
The construction of the box is illustrated in the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application, and in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts in the different views.
Referring now to the drawings, Figure i is a perspective view ot the box with the lid open. Fig. 2 is a vertical, longitudinal, sectional view of the box showing the rack tolded on the bottom of the box. Fig. 3 is a cross section showing the transverse division pieces set up with the main division piece in its horizontal position. Fig. 4 is a perspective view ot one et the division pieces detached from-the box. Fig. is a view el the blank out et which the box is made, in its open or flat position with the rack removed. Fig.i 6 is a top plan view ot the box showing the rack in its folded position.
A represents -that part of the blank which iorms the bottom of the box.
B represents the ends which are connected to A and which, when Vtol ded, 'lorm the ends of the box.
C represents pieces connected to B, and which when folded project or form flanges which extend inwardly in the box.
D represents the pieces which form the sides of the box. To the ends of these pieces are connected the interlocking ends or tabs cut or slit 4at c to form the straps A', under which the tongues ot the transverse division' pieces H are inserted and locked. These (li- .vision pieces with the longitudinal division piece hereafter described, form the crate. Formed integral with each one of'these division pieces H and creased on the line 7i., is the tongue H. The division piece H is slotted at 71, and is provided with the opening tginto which the slot 7L extends. rl`his opening h2 is enlarged at h3 so that the horizontal diameter of said opening is greater than the vertical diameter. The division pieces are secured to the bottom ot the box by'the tongues H passing under the straps A.
J is the longitudinal division piece, each edge oi which is provided with V shaped recesses or indentations y', leaving the piece forming a neck J about the width of the vertical diameter of the openings 7i?2 in the transverse pieces. This longitudinal division piece is attached to the transverse division pieces by passing it through the slots A/L edgewise so that the neck J tits in the opening t. Then the longitudinal piece is horizontal to the box, it and the transverse pieces may be folded ilat on the bottom of the box, as shown in Fig. 3 et the drawing.
ln order to set up the box when it is completely knocked down, the sides and ends are lfolded und the interlocking tabs connected.`
The division pieces il are then raised to a vert'nl position, and by turning the longitudinal division piece J, 90o, or in a vertical position b v turning the necks J in the openings lzfl, the box'is set up and rezv ly for use. The lower edge ol' the division piece l resting on the bottom ol' the box will hold the transverse ldivision pieces ll in a vertical position and prevent them 'from being i'olded in the bottom ot the box so long as the said division piece ,l is in a vertical position. Then it is desired to nest the boxes, this division piece J is turned horizontally or parallel to the bottom ot the box, when it and the transverse division pieces llV can be folded flat against the bottom ol" the box. The sides of the box are tapered to permit them to be nested easily. Whena box is to be used, it
' is only necessary to take .one from out of the other and set up the crate by raising the division pieces until the transverse pieces are in a vertical osition and then turning the longitudinal ivision piece to a vertical position, when the crate is thus locked in position' and the box is ready for use, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing.
The vertical diameters of the openings h2 in the transversepie'ces .being about the same length as the width of the neck J', and the horizontal openings being larger and extending ina curve to the slots 7L, the longitudinal division piece may be easily turned from the horizontal position tothe vertical, and when in the vertical position will t closely or bind,
and thisbinding will assist in retaining the piece in its vertical polongitudinal division sitioii.
, While I have shown and described the transverse division pieces as being secured to the bottom of the box by .a tongue connection, it is apparent that this may be secured by any other connection, and also the longitudinal ormain division piece may be connected to the division pieces 4in a different manner from that specifically shown and de- I scribed, and while I have shown the boxpro- I claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is `1. A folding box having a division piece connected thereto and adapted to be folded parallel to the'bttom thereof or to be raisedv at an angle thereto, and another division piece so connected to the first division piece bottom or to be turned at an angle to the bot- -tom to lock the partitions in their raised pothat it may be turned parallel to the bottom of the box to permit the first mentioned division pieceto be folded on the bottom or to be moved at an angle to the bottom to hold the first mentioned division piece in its raised position.
2. A folding box, a partition secured thereto and foldable on the bottom thereof, said partition having an opening therein, and another partition secured in said opening and adapted to be turned parallel to the bottom to permit the'partitions to be folded on the sitions.
