CHARLES J. FRANKS, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
BOTTLE-CARRIER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 21, 1908.
Application filed July 7, 1906. Serial No. 325,079.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES J. FRANKS, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new may of course be used for carrying any other .7 frame at t kind or shape of bottles.
The present wooden or metal box is inefficient, it gathers dirt, the bottles must all be taken out of the box to be cooled, rain and snow fall into it while being delivered, and the wooden box is often used for kindling, entailing loss; and the life of the box is short.
My improved box being made of wire and metal net work is light, no dirt can gather in it, air can pass around the bottles, the Whole box with the bottles in it can be quickly cooled and can be set into an ice chest as a whole, it is lastin can be shi ped with the beer and not be su ject to brea age or loss by stealing. The box being metal cannot of course be used for other urposes as a wooden box and will therefore a ways be returned to the brewery. It is arranged so that the bottles are cushioned and therefore preventing individual breakage of bottles and is neat in appearance.
Another salient feature of my invention consists in lproviding a shoe, runner or guide e bottom edges of the box preventing the Wires or net work or edges of the box from interfering with its adjacent box or with the, box above or below it, allowing the operator to handle each box separately without jarring, marring, breaking or pulling the boxes near it.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification Figure 1 is a top view of my im roved bottle'carrier, filled with bottles. ig. 2 is a side view of the bottle carrier shown in Fig. 1.- Fig. 3 is a bottom view thereof, the runner, shoe or guide frame removed. Fig. 4 an end View thereof. Fig. 5 a top View of the bottle carrier shown in Fig. 1,- a lid however appearing in this figure, used preferably when the box is shipped. Fig. 6 is a central longitudinal section taken at line X, X, of Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a bottom view of the-box. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of part of the lower frame s owing construction.
The box is made up of rectangular upper frame a and lower frame?) of same shape, rounded at the corners. These frames are connected at the corners by rods 0. The upper frame a is of plain heavy wire and shaped plain, as shown in Fig. 8, but the frame I) at the bottom is of a T-shape as shown, the inner part extending inward about an inch and a half and the outer art extending outward about half an inch. his frame forms a shoe, slide, runner or guide for the boxes in pulling them off one another or moving them over the floor or sliding them and being regular and smooth will protect the boxes and the floor or other resting place of the box. ThisT shaped frame I) is com osed of the flat bar or strip e of metal round the corners, rectangular in shape, having a flange d extendin up from its face, the flat strip on the outsi e of this flange d extending outward one half an inch and on the inside of the flan e extending inward about one and a half inc es.
' The outer extensionof strip e is marked 9 and the inner extension h. A Wire screen, mesh or net work is extends all around the box, passin from the top frame a to the bottom frame at the bottom passing through holes m in flange d of strip e. The lower net work or bottom 19 is connected to the flange d by wires passing through holes n. Of course the-wire net work may be connected to the frame in any desired workmanlike manner, cheapness and strength being the object. It will be seen that in this manner a strong bottom is made for the box, the sides,
ed atflange on bottom frame and the side and end Wires passing around the top frame, a strong,
rigid, substantial box is the result.
At the top of the box I hinge at one end by hinge s a 11d 1", made of metal, provided at each end with a hand hole 25. This lid is so shaped that it fits snugly into the box preferably resting on the top of the bottles 3 On each end of the top, I provide a V shaped opening or space Z in the wire mesh so that the hand can be sli ped into this space and through the hand hole 25 in the lid to properly handle the box. Near themiddle and below the middle of the box, I provide two wire bottlesupporters or holders f and 0 which are made up of wire mesh formed of said spaces.
wire running at practically right angles forming spaces so that the bottles '31 may fit into These bottle supports j and 0 may be permanently placed in the box or may be made removable, just as desired. These bottle holders or supporters kee the bottles in an upright position and free rorncontact with one another and support them at all oints in connection with t e bottoin mesh 11 local or for delivery purposes, is usua y used Without the lid or top plece, but in shi ping I use the lid and seal it, so that the pac age will remain intact, stealing from the package being thus prevented and insuring the purchaser absolutely genuine goods. When shipped the lid also holds the bottles firmlyin position. It will be noticed that the bottles are cushioned, preventing break- It will be readily a arent that this box will not gather or hold dirt or waste, is clean and uni ue, gives a free circulation around the bott es, can be handled quickl and easily, is light and cheap and absolutely safe for shipping purposes, is economical m use as not subject to a varied improper use by others, as in the case with t e wooden or' metal box. The wholeboxcanbe placed in the ice box or in cold water without removing the bottles; this cannot be done with the wooden box. My box needs no constant-reairs as does the wooden box, caused by eakage, shrinkage and warping. The name of the owner can be stamped upon the lid or bottom supporting strip and thus be permanent, preventing use by other breweries or shippers, whereas the wooden box can be changed and adapted for anothers use.
My box can with equal efficiency and slight changes, be used for mineral Water bottles, seltzer water bottles, Wine bottles, champagne bottles and other bottles. The strip at the bottom extending beyond the edge of the box itself, the box can be pulled over the wire mesh of an adoining box with impunity as it being'smoot will pass over said mesh or wire unlnterru ted.
What I claim as new an of my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a bottle crate, the combination of a top frame, a bottom frame, corner iece's connecting'said frames and a wire mes covering projection on its upper 'face to which is se-' cured the lower edge of the wire mesh and the wires of the bottom, as set forth.
