To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK M. SOUTH- W1ox, o citizen. of the United States. residing at Fredonio, in the county of Chautauqua onldStste of New York, have inventedo new and useful Package-Holder, of which the. fo1-' lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to package holders and '13 particularly designed for holding package's ofseeds etc. Within boxes, the

packages being so positioned that all of them will be displayed and ivithin convenient reach. a i

The holder is designed to be placed upon the market as on article of manufacture and con be readily attached to boxes of different kinds although it is to be understoodthet the holder maybe secured within the box at the time of manufacture and said box with the holders nlaced upon the market for holding and displaying packages.

- conveniently The object of the invention is to provide a, holder of simple and durable construction which can be completely housed. Within. 2*.

box and will hold series of packages seps rated. L Another obgect 18 to provide means Where- 'by the holder can be held by the lid oft-he box, partly elevated above the box body and with the bottom of the holder inclined. so.

that the-packages sup orted -thereby will all be displayed and he din position to be grasped.

Another object is to nrovide simple nicens for locking the box lid in open position so that it will not close under the weight of the supported eclroges, these locking means being'shi-fts le into the box body when it is desired to close. the box.

With these and other objects in View the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter morelfully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form ot the invention.

In said drawings: Figure 1 is a. plan View.

ofnn open box hsving holders constituting the pr sent invention in elevated positions therein. Fig. 2 IS a. section through the box and showing the parts in positions indicated in Fig. 1. Fig. Sis a View similar to Fig. 2

but showing the box closed and the holder detached frorrrthecover.

deferring" to the figures by characters ofreference, iv designwtes ebox of any desired.

the bot-torn face of the box and near its sideediges ore tapes 4 extending at one end beyond the base and designed to be-festened to the front wall of the box 1 by roe-ans of rivets 501' in any other suitable manner,

said projecting portions constituting hinge' A beck strip 6 is arranged uponrthe other end connections between the base and box.

of the base 3 end is secured thereto by the tapes 4. Each tape is looped at its rear or upper end through on eye. 7 from Which a hook 8 extends. A. desired number of leaves 9 are hingedly connected to and t11-'- ranged transversely upon the base and the ends of these leaves are connected to the corresponding portions of the beck strip 6 by means of flexible strips 10. ings only one of these leaves has been shown upon each besebut it is to be understood that only desired number of them may be utilized in which 0\ ='it each st in 1.0 will be connected to all oi the leaves and prevent them from swinging apart more than predete-rinined distances. in order thnt the holders may. be portly supported by the cover 2 when the box is open it rod 11'. is arranged transversely upon the bottom or inner face of the cover, said rod having crank portions 12 between and adjacent the ends thereof whichbeer Within 'fostening loops 13' se cured in onysuitsble manner to the cover Hooked arms 1 1 are formed at the ends of rod 11.

Pivotolly connected to the inner faces of the end alls .of box 1 are brace strips 15 mountedto swing downward into the box. each strip beingconnected to =the cover by in the draw:

.niesns of n. flexible strip or tape 16. The

free end of each brace dressed at 1'? tor the purpose hereinafter set forth. v

strip is notched its in-' Vfhen a box is provided with holders such as herein described the bases of the holder arejplaced upon the bottom of the box and the ack stripfi and'lea-ves 9 will divide the interior of-t pockets each of which is designed to receive packages, such as envelops'containing seeds,

which are placed on edge. The leaves 9 and the back strip 6 are no higher than the walls of'the box so as not to' interfere with the closing of the cover. The brace strips also assume ositio'ns within the box when the cover is c osed as shown inFig. .When

. the cover. is raised the ta es 1 6 will swing the brace strips 15 upwar ly out of the box whereupon they maybe swung against the cover 2 and the rod' 1'1 )artly rotated so as to bring hooks 14 intot e notches 17. The. .cover, is thus secured against movement relative to the box body." The back strip 6 is then lifted from the 'box'and hooks 8 placed in engagement with rod 11.- The ase 3' of eachholder is thus supported in an inclined position and the tapes 10 hold the leaves 9 properly spaced apart. It will be apparent that when the parts are thus positioned .theackagescontained within 1 the holders will e exposed to view .and can be convenientlyreached. I It 's to be understood'that if preferred the base 3 may be provided-with two or more parallel series of leaves 9 and back strips :6,

and thepartition, 18"-'Inay be mounted upon the base and hinged to it, said partition. ex-

tending between the" leaves and up to the back strip. This construction is so obvious that it is not deemed necessary to illustrate it.-

VVhat is claimed is:

1. The combination with a receptacle and a closurehingedly connected thereto; ofja base hingedly mounted within. the-recep tacle, a back striphingedly connected to the base, a sup orting device connected to the closure, an means upon the back strip for det'achably engaging'said device to support the" base in an inclined position.

2. The combination with a receptacle and a 'closurejhingedly connected thereto'; of a holder comprising a base strip hingedly mounted within the receptacle, a back strip hingedlyconnected to'the base strip, a supporting member mounted on the closure, means carried by theba'ck stripfor detachably'engaging saidmember to support the e box into compartments or, back strip.

a 3; The combinationa receptacle and.

base strip "in an inclined position, 'a leaf 'hingedly mounted on :the basestripfandia flexible connection' -between said lea and the a 'Cl0SuI'6 hingedly mounted upon-the receptacle;- of a holdercom rising abase strip hingedly mountedjwithm' the receptacle, a back striphingedly connected to the base stri means for detachably securing the bac strip to the closure when opened so as to support the base strip'in an inclined position, and means movable into the rece tacle for engaging the closure to lock it in open position.

'4. The 'combinatio'n with a receptacleand a hinged closure thereon; of a holder com-v prising a base striphingedly' mounted within the rece tacle, a'member hingedly connected prising a'base striphingedly mounted within.

6. .The combination with a" receptacle and a closure hingedly connected thereto; of a holder comprising a base strip hingedly mounted vwithin the receptacle, a-backstrip hingedlyconnected to the base strip; cooperating meansupon the closure and back ,strip for supporting the base in an inclined position relative to the receptacle, a leaf iingedly mounted on the base strip, and a flexible connection between saidleaf and the back. strip. v

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed iny signature in. the presence of two witnesses.
