PAPER RECEPTACLE 0R BOX.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 27, 1910.
Application filed July 14, 1910. Serial No. 572,059.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES O. MASON, citizen of the United States, residing at Attleboro Falls, Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Receptacles or Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention relates to improvements in paper receptacles or boxes and has for its object to provide a simple and economical closure and fastening therefor which may be quickly manipulated to effect the fastening of said closure, which will be free from all danger of accidental opening, and yet may be readily unfastened and refastened as desired.
The invention includes the novel features of construction hereinafter described and particularly set forth in the appended claims.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 is a side elevation with one of the end flaps at one end bent partially over.
Fig. 2 is an end view with the metallic fastening tongue inserted through the slit in the paper tongue ready for bending over to secure the fastening. Fig. 3 is a similar view with the tongue bent over, and Fig. 4 is a sectional detail.
Referring by reference characters to this drawing the numeral 5 designates a paper or pasteboard box of the type having one or both ends open, said ends having four flaps, two of which 6 and 7 are first folded down upon each other as indicated in Fig. 4, and by the space between the flaps 8 and 9 in Fig. 1, these latter flaps being adapted to be folded down upon the first flaps and overlapping them and each other as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4. One or more of said flaps, as for example, the flap 8 has an approximately semicircular slit 10 the ends of which terminate at the base of the flap or line of fold and which forms a tongue 10 which, when said flap 8 is folded over and down upon the flaps 6 and 7 tends to remain extended in the plane of the side of the box as shown in Fig. 1. The other flap 9 carries a metallic fastening tongue of flexible or foldable metal indicated at 11 which projects over the edge of the flap 9, and is designed to be passed through a slit 12 formed in the base of the tongue 10. This metallic fastening tongue is preferably formed of a T-shaped piece of metal, the arms of the T being bent at right angles and passed through the flap 9, and clenched over upon the opposite side. It will be readily seen that after the flap 8 has been bent down against the end of the box leaving the tongue 10 standing perpendicular thereto, if the flap 9 be bent down the tongue 11 may be readily passed through the slit 12 at the base of the upstanding tongue 10. After it has been thus inserted it is only necessary to bend back the protruding end of the metallic tongue 11 and crush the same down to cause the paper tongue 10 to be held down flat against the end of the box and the whole end closure securely fastened by said overturned metallic tongue.
Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. In a box having foldable flaps forming the closure thereof, one of said flaps having an integral tongue at the base thereof and a foldable metallic tongue carried by the opposing flap and adapted to be passed through the tongue of the first named flap at the base thereof.
2. A paper or pasteboard box having flaps for effecting the closure thereof, one of said flaps having a substantially semicircular integral tongue, said tongue having a slit at the base thereof in the line of the fold of the flap, a metallic fastening device carried by the other flap and comprising a foldable tongue adapted to be passed through said slit and be folded over upon said tongue, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES O. MASON.
