EGG CASE OR CARRIER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 1, 1908.
.T all whom it may concern:
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate applications of our invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an egg-case or carrier embodying our invention; Fig. 2 a cross sectional view with cover thrown back I and showing the position of eggs within the case or carrier.;'Fig. 3 a sectional view showing modified form of cover or lid; Figs. 4 and 5 detail views of stripsor laterally disposed partition walls; Fig. 6 diagrammatic view illustrating an application of .our invention when applied to an egg crate; Fig. 7 a

ed; Fig. 8 a side view of folded case or carrier; and Fig. 9 a plan of blank from which the case or carrier'is' formed.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a blank of any suitable material such as cardboard from which the case or carrier is con- As illustrated and as preferred, the case or carrier comprises front and rear inclined walls 2 and 3, alid or cover 4, which latter may be formed as shown by Fig. 1 or as shown in the form of Fig. 3 in which the cover consists of two arts formed by extensions of the front an rear-walls In addition to the said front and rear-walls and intermediate thereof we employ a plurality of longitudinally disposed inclined partitions 5. 'Ihese partitions are bent to form V-shaped spaces as clearly shown by the drawings and these spaces, formed by the inclined partitions together with laterally disposed strips or partitions 6 form egg-receiving pockets 7. The walls or partitions 5 are .cut away as shown to 'form eggreceiving openings 8 and in addition thereto I are formed with slots 9, through which partitions 6 are, passed. The (egg-receivingopenings 8, formed'in the intermediate wal 5 are adapted to receive the eggs and to maintain the same in the desired positions within the yielding pockets 7. By forming the openings 8 in the said walls we are enabled to provide a much smaller and more compact box or tray than would be the case were the walls 5 not provided with such openin s and the eggs placed in contact with solid walls. In addition to the above functions of the openings 8, these openings weaken the walls 5 and thereby aid in forming the yielding pockets 7. Partitions .6 are preferably of the form shown and comprise flanged ends or heads 10. In order to insert the )artitions 6 in the slots 9 of the walls an the walls 2 and 3, an end of each of the said strips is bent along the score line 11 (see Fig. 4) into the position shown by Fig. 5. After the strips are passed through said walls the bentends are turned so as to cause the heads 10 to engage the front-wall 2.
The said walls 2, 3 and 5 together with the cover or lid 4 are formed from a sin le piece of material. In Fig. 9 we show a pIan view of a blank showing the manner in which said blank is cut and scored preparatory to being folded into a case or carrier; in this figure, 12 designates the score lines on which the blank is folded.
A case or carrier constructed in the manner described produces springy or yielding eggreceiving pockets 7 thereby greatly lessening the danger of breaking the eggs packed in said case. Folding the blank 1 as shown, forms alternating angular ridges 12 and 13; the upper ridges 12 acting as supports for the lid when the same is turned to a closed osition and the lower ridges 13 as supports or the case or carrier. This particular formation is very convenient in cases where it is desired to use our invention in connection with aneg -crate. In this instance the cases or carriers, with or without lids or covers,
' Figs. 7 and'8 show different views of a I folded case.
What we claim is: 1. An egg tray having a plurality of inclined walls forming yielding pockets having egg-retaining openings formed therein whereby the eggs are spaced apart by the inclination of the walls and retained in such opens ings.
2. A collapsible egg-box or tray comprisextending partitions extending through the inclined walls and forming therewith yielding V-shaped e g-receiving-pockets.
3. A collapsi leregg-box or tray comprising front and rear-walls each formed with vertically extending slots, a plurality of inclined walls or partitions intermediate the front and rear-walls, said intermediate walls each formed with Vertical slots and with eggretaining-openings, a series of laterally ex-. tending partitions extending through the inclined walls and forming therewith yielding V-shaped pockets, and a lid comprising a portion pro ecting from the front wall and a portion projecting from the rear-wall..
4. An egg tray having a plurality of inclined walls forming yielding pockets having egg-retaining openings formed therein whereby the eggs are spaced apart by the inclination of the walls and retained in such openings, and a artition extending through the inclined Wall s. 1
5. A collapsible egg-box or tray comprising front and rear-walls each formed with Vertically extending slots, a plurality of inclined walls forming yielding pockets having egg retaining openings formed therein Whereby the eggs are spacedapart by the inclination of the walls and retained insuch open ings, said inclined walls formed with vertically extending slots, and partitions extending through the inclined, front, and rearwalls.
In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
