Application filed November 9, 1908. Serial No. 461,806.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES W. SMrrir,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Sandusky, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have invented certain-new and useful Improvements in Reinforcing Means for Shipping-Crates; 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 of reference marked form a part of this specification. v
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in reinforcin means for shi ping crates and closures fiierefor and t e object of the invention is to produce a simple and efiicient means whereby the closure may be prevented from warping and the joints of the receptacle reinforced.
More specifically, the invention comprises en angled plate adapted to be seatedin the opposite ends of the closure of a receptacle and having one flange engaging a recess in the edge of the closure, while the face of the strlp and outer surface of each flange are flush respectively with the'cdge and under surface of the closure.
The invention comprises various details of construction, combinations and arrange ments of parts which will be hereinafter fullv described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.
I illustrate my invention in the accom panying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shipping crate showing my invention as applied thereto. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section through a portion of the body portion of the box or crate. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through a closure and side wall of the box. Fig. 4 is a detail view of an angle strip intermediate the joints of the sides of the crate, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view of one of the closure engaging strips.
. Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a receptacle which may be of any suitable construction and which, in the present instance,
is shown in the shape of a box with hand openings A for convenience in lifting the same. Angle irons B are interposed in the seams between the side and end walls of the box and held in place by means of pins B passing through the sides and engaging the ends in the manner shown in Fig. of the drawings.
The closure, designated by letter E, has recesses "or grooves E formed in the ends thereof, and F designates metallic strips hav ing longitudinal flanges F and F upon the marginal edges thereof, one of said flanges F being adapted to engage the groove E formed in the end of the closure and the other'flange F engaging a recess Et-formed in the under surface of the closure near its ends, as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. When the metallic strip F is adjusted in place,.it' will be noted that the outer surface thereof will be flush with the end of the closure while the outer face of the flange F will be flush with the under surface of the closurea'nd will rest upon the upper edge of the end of the box or crate. A bail K has its ends engaging apertures in the ends of the crate and has pivotal connection with the closure by means of the eyes R. I
By the provision of a shipping crate made as shown and described, it will be noted that the closure having the flanged metallic strip engaging the same, as illustrated, will serve 'to prevent the closure from warping and,
when closed, the face of the flange of the metallic strip upon the closure will rest upon the upper ends of the angle irons interposed between the joints of the body portion of the box or .crate, thus "relieving the edges of the box or'crate fr'oin any excessive pressure which might come upon the same. What I claim to be new is In combination in a shipping box and closure therefor, the opposite edges of said closure having grooves extending the entire width thereof, said grooved edges having a recess extending into the inner face of the closure, a metallic strip having parallel flanges along its longitudinalv edges, said strip adapted to seat in said recess with one of its flanges engaging the groove therein,
I the outer face of said strip bein flush with seated therein are adapted to rest, as shown the edge which projects beyon the recess, and described. e the outer face of the flange of the strip which In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my extends in the recess in the inner face of the, signature in the presence of two witnesses.
5 closure being fiilsh with the latter, and me- CHARLES W. SMITH.
