BERRY-BOX.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Tune 2, 1908.
Application filed April 2 1907. Serial No. 366,024.
and which are generally known as berry boxes, and it has particular reference to that class of berry boxes which comprise a body or wall formed of a strip of material, such as veneer, pasteboard or the like, bent into shape and provided with notches adapted for the su port of a bottom member, the corners of which project through such notches.
The present invention has for its object to provide improved means for securing together the overla ping ends of the strip constituting the wal or body of the berry box; and further objects of the invention are to simplify and improve the construction and operation of said fastening means.
With these and other ends in view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a berry box, the overlapping ends of the body or wall of which are secured together by one form of the improved fastening device.
2 is a sectional view taken on the plane icated by the line 22 in Fig. 1. Corresponding arts in the several figures are denoted by li e characters of reference.
In the illustrated form of the invention,
the overlapping ends 12 of the side wall or body of t e berry box are provided with slots 33 and 44 disposed 1n registry for alinement with each'other.
The fastening member shown is composed of a stri 5 of flexible sheet metal, which is rovide intermediate the ends thereof with fient or doubled portions 6.6 which are spaced apart a distance equal to the distance between the slots 33 or 44 in the overlapping ends 1 -2 of the wall or body of. the box; the doubled portions 66 of the strip are inserted through theslots 33 and 44 after said slots have been placed in registry with each other, and the extremities of the double portions are then bent down flat adjacent to the inner fla 2-of the wall or body, as shown at 77, whfie the terminal ends of the strip 5 are bent adjacent 'to the upper and lower edges of the outer flap l of the wall or body and inserted between the flaps 1-2, as will be clearly seen in Fig. 2 of the drawings. In this manner, the free ends of the strip will be protected, there being no exposed ends liable to catch or become engaged with adjacent boxes or other material.
Instead of constructing the fastening members of strips of sheet metal, as hereinbefore described, the said fastening members may be bent from strands of wire, in substantially the shape indicated as will be very readily understood.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed, the o eration and advantages of this invention w 1 be .readily understood. The construction is simple, inexpensive and thoroughly efiicient for the purposes for which it is provided.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new is In a berry box, a wall or body having overlapping end flaps provided with registering slots near their upper and lower edges, in combination with a flexible metallic fastening member provided intermediate its ends with double portions extended through the registering slots and bent down upon the adjacent flap, the terminal ends of the fasten- 1ng member being bent adjacent to the edges of the fla s and inserted between the latter.
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HERMAN ALWES.
