Original No. 2,772,045, dated November 27, 1956, Serial No. 491,021, February 28, 1955. Application for reissue January 27, 1958, Serial No. 711,535
9 Claims. (Cl. 229-52) Matter enclosed in heavy brackets appears in the original patent but forms no part of this reissue specification; matter printed in italics indicates the additions made by reissue.
`This invention relates to portable containers, particularly of the type for packaging and transporting wearing apparel, such as shoes and the like, and it is an object of this. invention to provide an improved container or box and handle means therefor wherein a cover is provided for the box, which cover has relatively wide side walls which encompass substantially half of the side walls of the body of the box when in closed position. Opposed ends of a carrying cord are connected to opposite side Walls of the box and extend outwardly through holes formed in opposite side walls of the cover at points spaced from one end of the box to form the cord into a loop so that, when the cord is drawn taut, such as when carrying the container or box, the opposed runs or reaches of the cord tend to hold the cover in snug engagement with the box., On the other hand, the cover may easily be opened relative to the box by moving the cover so that opposite walls thereof move relative to the cord as the cover is swung to open position.
Some of the objects of the invention having been stated, other objects will appear as the description proceeds when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an isometric view of the improved container or box showing the cover in closed position ready for carrying;
Figure 2 is another isometric view of the box showing the cover in open position;
Figure 3 is a longitdinal sectional view through the box or container showing the cover in closed position;
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view through the box or container taken substantially along line 4 4 in Figure 3 and showing, in particular, how the cord or string is attached to the side walls of the box and loosely extends through the contiguous side walls of the cover;
Figure 5 is an isometric view of the cord attaching means.
Referring more specifically to the drawings, the substantially rectangular body of the container is broadly designated at and includes a bottom wall 11, opposite end walls 12, 13 and spaced side walls 14, 15 which may be made from paper, cardboard, plastic or any other desired material and which may be interconnected, in any desired manner. The cover for the body of the container is broadlydesignated at 20 and includes a top or outer wall 21, longitudinally spaced end walls 22, 23 and laterally spaced side walls 24, 25. Of course, the end walls 22, 23 and side walls 24, 25 are spaced so they will fit snugly about the end walls 12, 13 and side walls 14, -of the body 10. Unlike the usual-,shoe box, they end walls 22, 23 and side walls 24, 25 of the cover 20 are substantially one-half the width or greater than onehalf the width of the end walls 12, 13 and side walls 14, 15 of the body 10.
The side walls 14, 15 of the body 10 have respective l apertures or eyelets 30, 31 therein which are preferably disposed at a point approximately half the distance between the bottom wall 11 andthe free edges of the respective side walls 14, 15 and which are spaced from the end wall 13 a distance less than half the length of the side walls 14, 15. A spacing distance from the end wall 13 equal to approximately one-fourth of the length of the side walls 14, 15 ofthe body 10 is preferred.
Now, the side walls 24, 25 of the cover 20 also have relatively small holes or eyelets 32, 33 therein which preferably coincide with the respective holes 30, 31 when the cover 20 is in closed position as shown in Figures 3 and 4. A pliable carrying handle, cord or string 35 is provided, which is looped to form opposite runs or reaches.
36, 37 which straddle corresponding end portions of the side Walls 24, 25 of the cover 20. The cord 35 loosely extends through the holes 32, 33 in said side walls 24, 25 and also loosely extends through the holes 30, 31 in the side walls 14, 15 of the body 10. Any suitable restraining means 40, 41 may be provided on the free ends of the cord 35, to prevent egress of opposite ends of the cord 35 from the holes, apertures or eyelets 3l), 31 in the respective side walls 14, 15 of the body 10 of the container. In this instance, each of said restraining means is in the form of an elongated element having a rounded portion 42 which is clampingly secured about the corresponding end of the cord 35 and which has a at extension 43 thereon, both portions 42, 43 of each of the restraining elements 40, 41 being of such size that they may readily be inserted through the holes 30, 31, 32 and 33 in the side walls of the body and the cover, but being of such length that they will project beyond the diametrically opposed wall portions of the apertures, eyelets or openings 30, 31 to prevent opposite ends of the cord 35 from slipping out of the holes 30, 31 in the side walls 14, 15 of the body 10 of the container.
It is thus seen that, when the cover 20 is in closed position as shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, the greater the pressure that is exerted on the handle or cord 35 by the user due to the weight of the contents of the container, the greater will be the locking etfect of the reaches36, 37
the eyelets or holes 32, 33 in side walls 24, 25 of the" cover 20 are moved along the respective reaches 36, 37 of the pliable handle or cord 35 with downward and outward movement of the end wall 23 relative to the ybody 10 and as the other end of the cover 20 is swung away from the corresponding end of the body 10.
It is'thus seen that I have provided a container which is particularly adapted for containing a pair ofshoes therein wherein a pliable handle is provided on thereontainer which will not interfere with the opening and closing of the cover of the container thus obviating the' necessity of providing a separate container, as has heretofore been required, in which the usual placed for carrying purposes.
