1 To all whom fit may concern:
Be it known that I, LUTHER P. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Port Huron, in the county of St. Clair and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvement-s Vin Collapsible Cartons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and .figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
rlhis invention relates to new and useful improvements in collapsible cartons and fillers and so arranged that the devices may be reduced to ay compact shape for conven' ience in shipping, storing, etc.
"The invention consists further in a device of this nature so arranged that the contents of the carton may be protected against jar or vlbration coming against the sides of the same.
The invention comprises various details of construction, combinations andv arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then'specifically defined in the appended claims.
.Myinvention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing one of my improved cartons of square outline. Fig. 2 is a det-ail view showing the carton opened. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the carton and filler partially folded. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the bank. Fig. 5 is a cross i Fig. lsva perspective view of an oblong form of the carton. Fig. 7 is a view in perspective showing the form shown in Fig. 6 opened and illustrating the filler `partially folded. Fig. 8 1s a sectional View on line 8 8 of Fig.
6. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing the.
carton nearly folded. Fig. 10 is an end view showing two cartons held sideby side and illustrating the space intervening between the two toprotect the contents of the receptacle, and Fig. 11 is a detail of a modification of the invention. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of a modification of the invention. Fig. 13 is a perspective view of the modified form shown in Fig. 12 illustrating the box open. Fig. 14 is a modified form of the infication as shown on Fig. 14. Fig. 1G is a detailed perspective of a portion of the modified form as illustrated of Fig. 14.-. Fig. 17 is a. perspective View showing the modified vform of Fig. 12 part-ly folded and, Fig. 18
is a perspective View'of a modification com; pletely folded.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by characters, A designates a blank of paper or other .suitable fabric,
Amade preferably in the shape shown in Fig.
4 of .the drawings, in which the blank is scored along the line A centrally and longitudinally, upon which line the blank is adapted to be folded and said blank is also scored along the may be folded transversely in the manner shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. Said blank is provided with crescent or other shaped slits B, two of which are shown in the drawings formed in what will form the the flaps B are adapted to be folded out opposite sides of the carton when folded and at right angles to the sides with which they are integral and serve as cushioning` means intern'icdiate the side of the carton and the filler. Said blank is provided with usual tongue D, the ends of which are adapted to fold into slits D in one of the sides of the carton, as shown in Fig. 1 or, if preferred, may fold into the top or portion of the blank which forms the closure over the filler. Tongues E are formed of different widths upon the opposite edge of the blank and are adapted to be bent along the scored lines E when the box is made up in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and Q of the drawings or as illustrated in the detail Fig. 11.
The filler consists of the longitudinal partitions F extending between the scored linesll, and transverse divisional partitions H, the ends l-I of which are bent at right angles and fastened to said partitions F in the manner shown plainly in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Each of said longitudinal partitions is scored along the lines I at their longitudinal ,centers to allow the same to -fold in the manner shown in Figs. 2 and 3' of the drawings, said folding line along the scored lines I being adapted to be coincident with the scored line A when the carton and filler are folded. The flaps E formed on the opposite edges of the blank are bent up along the scored lines E and are adapted vention. Fig. 15 is an end view of the modiline A2 so that theblank llG to be glued or. otherwise secured to the end transverse partitions H in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 2 ofthe drawings or, 1n the eventof it being desired to have the flaps E2 formed upon the opposite edges of the end extend up over the upper edges of said transverse partitions as shown in Fig. 1l of the drawings, said flaps ll2 may be fas- Y tened their entire length to said partitions and overlapping the upper edges thereof.
It will be noted that the scored lines N, N upon the blank A form means whereby, when the sides containing the flaps B are bent up in the form shown in Fig. l of the drawings, a triangular space will intervene between the inner face of each of said sides and the outer of said longitudinal partitions, thus alording a cushioning means for pro' tecting the contents of the filler as well as allowing a space through which air may cir-v culate. When the carton is. made up, the tongues B which are bent at right angles to the side with which they are integral also 'serve as additional cushioning means to protect the contents of the filler.
In Figs. 6 to 9 of the drawings, I have shown a slight modification in the shape of my improved carton and filler in which, in-
stead of making the same square in outline, the device is of rectangular form and in other respects similar in construction and manner of folding as described of the other forms illustrated 1n Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive.
In opening up the carton when in a folded position, the carton `is straightened out along its central scored line A, then the closure A unfolded, the ller opened up and the sides turned up along the scored lines N, after which the closure with the tongue folded over the top and the tongue D made to engage the slits D. u
rIn Fig. l2 I have shown the modification of the invention in which the box may be made of any shape provided with the usual longitudinal scored line A while the flap A5 .formingthe cover has longitudinal flanges Ac adapted to fit round over the ends of the box while the bottom of the box is provided with flaps at A7 which extend up adjacent to the other parts of the sides of the box.
In Fig. 14 I have shown a slightly different modification of the box in which the fianges upon the cover illustrated in Figs. 12
also, that a box made in accordance with the modified forms, while illustrated as square in 4outline may be made of any two di'erent shapes and size and will beespecially adapted for use in shipping various commodities,
and without a filler as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 7 of the drawing.
What I claim to be new is 1. A carton and filler, comprising a blank scored transversely to allow the blank to be bent to form the sides and end flaps of the carton and also scored its entire length along its longitudinal center upon which the blank is adapted to be folded, integral tongues projecting from the opposite edges of the blank, a filler fastened at -its opposite sides to said tongues and adapted to fold ina plane coincident with the longitudinal center of said flap, as set forth.
2. A carton and filler, comprising ablank which is scored along its longitudinal center upon which the blank is adapted to be folded, integral tongues projecting from the opposite edges of the blank, a filler fastened at its opposite sides to said tongues and adapted to fold in a plane coincident with the longi tulinal center of said Hap, said blank being scored a short distance from free sides of the'iller, thereby allowing a space to intervene between the sides of the carton and filler which serve as a cushioning and Ventilating means, as set forth.
3. A carton and filler, comprising a blank which is scored along its longitudinal center and transversely at one side of its center upon which lines the blank is adapted to be folded, integral tongues projecting from the opposite edges of the blank, a filler fastened at its opposite sides to said tongues and adapted to fold in a plane coincident with the longitudinal center of said flap, said blank being scored transversely adjacent to the opposite free sides of the filler, said sides -scored along its longitudinal center, tongues upon the opposite edges of said blank, said tongues being scored 1n parallel lines inter- `mediate the opposite edges ofthe blank, a
filler made up of longitudinal partitions and intermediate artitions, each of which has angled ends astene'd in opposite directions to said longitudinal partitions, said tongues being adapted to be fastened to the outer face of said transverse partitions, said blank having transverse scores slight distances from the opposite free faces of the filler, the bottom of the carton extending beyond the opposite free faces of the-filler thereby allowing a space to intervene between the sides of the carton and the filler, as set forth.
5. A folding carton comprising a blank scored along its longitudinal center, tongues upon the opposite edges of said blank, saidv tongues being scored in parallel lines intermediate the opposite edges of the blank, a
,the opposite `filler' Inade up of longitudinal partitions and intermediate partitions, each of Which has angled ends fastened in opposite directions to said longitudinal partitions, said tongues being adapted to be fastened to the outer face of said transverse partitions, said blank having transverse scores slight distances from the opposite free faoes of the filler, the bottom of the carton extending beyond the 1o opposite free faces of the filler thereby allowing a space to intervene between the sides of the carton andthe filler, and flaps upon jsaid sides turned at right angles to the latter toward the free sides of the ller, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
