Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 27, 1917.
Application filed April 13, 1915. Serial No. 21,148.
To all whomc't may concern.
Be it known that I, PETER R. WARREN, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Boxes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to a new and useful improvement in boxes. In paper boxes used as co tainers for hairpins and the like it is common to attach to the box in some manner so as to be visible to the purchaser without opening the box a specimen of the article contained within the box. Heretofore the legs or branches of the hairpin thus displayed often times become crossed or bent close together. When a hairpin has been bent so that the legs or points are close together the hairpin is practically useless and therefore is unsalable. Heretofore a band of paper surrounding the box has been employed to secure the article to the exterior of the box and employing a separate spacing member of cardboard which is concealed beneath the band, but this method of securing the article to the box is expensive since it requires the printing of the band, the manufacture of the spacing member, and the labor of applying them, which altogether add very largely to the expense. The object of the present invention is to provide a-box so constructed that a specimen hairpin or other bifurcated article which becomes easily distorted may be displayed in connection with the box and be maintained in its normal form with the legs spread apart for the proper distance and without the employment of a separate band, Spacer, orthe like. The box thus constructed reduces the expense of the packages and the labor, u ward of fifty per cent. For convenience o illus tration and description the invention will be described and the drawings will show a box especially intended for the display of hairpins, although it is to be understood that the invention and claims are not. to be limited to boxes to be used merely for the display of hairpins.
The invention will be fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the novel features thereof will be pointed out and clearly defined in the claims at the close of the specification.
In the drawings,Figure 1 is a perspective View of a box embodying the invention and a hairpin afiixed or attached thereto.
Fig. 2 is a plan of a blank sheet of paper shaped to be formed into a folding box embodying the invention.
Fig. 3 is a plan of a box formed out of the blank shown in Fig. 2 in its knock-down form ready to be folded and set up into the form shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 shows a modification. v It is to be understood however that the invention is not limited to a box made of a single blank nor limited to a folding box.
Referring now to the drawings,A represents a paper box having a panel 4 formed with a transverse slit or opening 5 which as shown in the drawings extends the full width of the panel 4 but which need not necessarily be of the full width of said panel but only of suflicient width so that both branches of the hairpin 6 may be pa-ssed through said slit without springing or bending them' in toward each other. This slit may if desired be made of ornamental form as for instance a crescent 20 (see Fig. In another part of the panel 4 there are slits 7, 8 which are in substantial ali nement with each other, each of which extends only a portion of the width of the panel, having formed adjacent to each other two transverse their ends separated by an unslit portion 9.
The width of this portion 9 should be at least equal to the distance between the two branches 10, 11 of the hairpin in their normal position so that after the hairpin has been introduced from the outside through the slit 5 and thence passed down inside of the box and out through the slits 7-, 8 the two legs 10, ll-will be maintained spread apart from each other in their normal relation to each other. short longitudinal slits 12, 13 respectively connecting with the said transverse slits 7, 8 thus making an L-shaped angular slit so that the right angle portion of the panel bordered by said angular slits may be sprung inwardly to facilitate the guiding of the legs of the hairpin out through said slits when the specimen is mounted and thus forming also a neck of cardboard which separates the legs of the hairpin when it is mounted.
The blank out of which the box may be formed shownin Fig. 1 is cut or died out to form four panels 14, 4, 15, 16 which form the two face panels and the two edge panels, a gluing or sealing flap 17, end forming flaps There are also formed 18, 19 and suitable tuck flaps formed in Well known manner. The blank in its fiat shape before being folded at all may have the slits already described formed therein, that is, the long transverse slit 5, the two short transverse slits 7, 8, with the connecting longitudinal slits 12, 13. The slits are most conveniently formed in the blank before it is folded and sealed. It may then be folded and the sealing flap 17 may be sealed to form the box into the knock-down form shown in Fig. 3 which is then all ready to be set up into the form shown in Fig. 1 as occasion requires the box to be used.
What I claim is:
1. The improved cardboard display box for hair pins or the like consisting of a plurality of face panels, a holding band on one of said panels, said holding band being formed by aslit transversely of said panel at one-edge of said band and by a pair of lL-shaped slits transversely of said panel at the other edge of said band, said L-shaped slits having an unslit portion between them whereby a neck portion is formed at that edge of said holding band.
2. The improved cardboard display boxfor hair pins or the like consisting of a plurality of panels, a holding band on one of said panels, said holding band being formed by a slit transversely of said panel at the upper edge of said band and by transverse legs of L-shaped slits in said panel at the lower edge of said band, said transverse legs being separated by an unslit portion forming a neck portion at that edge of said holding band and having longitudinal slits extending away from the transverse slits in a direction lengthwise of the panel.
'3. The improved display box for hair pins or the like consisting of a single sheet of cardboard died toforni box panels, a holding band on one of said panels, said hold ing band being formed by a slit transversely of the panel at the upper edge of the band and by the transverse legs of a pair of L- shaped slits at the lower edge of the band, the transverse legs of said lL-shaped slits being in alinement and having an unslit portion between theln forming a neck portion and having longitudinal legs consisting of slits connecting with said transverse slits and extending downwardly'in said panel to form the sides of said neck portion.
In testimony whereof I aliix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
