To all whom, it may concern iBeffit. known that we,v WIL Enr SMITH and Anonrriosf' SILJfD iNN sQ both. CllZlZQIlS Of tillnit dfitateaan .reS- dents of; Syracuse, Onondagacountyjj State of New York, and Cleveland Quyahoga co 1nty, State of. Ohio, respectively, have invented certain new and useful Improvements, in? oShippingBoxes, of
whichthe' following is aspecificat-ion.
This, inventionrelates toreceptacles and more particularlyn tov "ship'pmg" boxes and means', for supp ort a typewriter or L simimach net erein Ele etofore t has been thecustomuto ship typewriters by attaching ner that it will be yieldingly supported therein, can be easily inserted and removed from the box, and to provide a cheaper means than that heretofore used. Qther objects will appear from the descriptlon of the device taken in connection with the drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a with the bottom removed and showing the at present preferred embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view in elevatlon taken substantially on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing another form of the invention;
Fig. 5 is a sectional view in elevation taken on a line corresponding to 5-5 of Fig. 6;
Fig. 6 is a view showing a portion of one end of this form of the shipping box.
As clearly shown in the drawings, the de vice consists of a box of such a size as to properly inclose the typewriter or other machine and securely hold the frame to which the typewriter is secured. As is well known typewriting machines are provided with four threaded openings in the bottom thereof for screws to be used to secure the ma chine to a table, desk or other supporting means. The typewriter when being arbottom plan view of the box ranged for shipment is secured to 'liWQ. pa allelly arranged strips 10, by means of -"the screws 12 which engage" the "before-mentioned openings in the bottom of the typewriter.
At their ends the strips '10 areconnected l by.
the cross strips 13, which are arlietlgdso that one side ofthe samewill bejfl ishwith the ends of the strips '10. Thus the'stripslO and'13 constitute a frame on which the type writer is mounted. )The box 14.; in twhich the typewriter and lframd are inserted is made with a removable bottom 15 whi h may be secured in position by any suitable means. The frame is adapted to be mounted inflthe boxnear the bottom 15 andforthis purpose cleats 19are fastened totwo Qppositejs'ides of the-box adjacent and slightly gspaced from the said bottom. These-cleats arelprovided with notchesil8 which arejadaptbdto receive and. form seats"forthe endsbfijthey strips10. ""Thecleats'19 and 'the notches or seats formed therein are arranged solllat whentthe strips 10 are placed in the notches the cross strips 18 will be flush with the bot tom edges of the box and consequently in contact with the bottom when it is fastened in position to close the box.
In the form of the invention illustrated, in Figs. 4:, 5 and 6 the strips 10 having the apertures 11 therein for the screws 12 are of such a length that their ends may be mounted directly in notches or seats 18 formed in the sides 16 and 17 of the box instead of in cleats 19, as in the other form. These notches 18' are of such a depth that when the ends of the strips 10' are placed therein the bottom face of the cross strips 13 will lie flush with the bottom edges of the box so that when the frame is positioned in the box said cross strips 13 will be in contact with the removable bottom 15.
In using the device the frame is secured to the typewriter or other machine and the box is placed in inverted position, that is,
v in anupright position the top side I ment adjacent their ends.
or shocks are transmitted to the machine only indirectly and more or less yieldingly. Obviously this frame for this reason is a great improvement over the oak board heretofore used. It will be observed that the notches 18 and 18' prevent movement of the frame in three directions and that the cover 7 or bottom 15 of the box acting against the cross strips prevents movement in the fourth irection. As the machine should be shipped of the box may be marked with directions to keep that side upward.
ile we haveshown and described two,
springing or beam action of the strips is secured.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
I l. The combination with a closed shipping box'for machines of the character described, having a. detachable bottom, of
parallel spaced resilient strips and means for securely attaching a machine thereto, seats in the box near the bottom thereof in which the ends of said strips are removably fitted without freedom for horizontal movecurely attaching a machine thereto, seats in the box near the bottom thereof in which the ends of said strips are removably fitted without freedom for horizontal movement, and means for spacing the ends of said strips from the bottom of the box and preventing vertical movement of said ends, including cross strips arranged at the ends of said resilient strips on the side opposite the machine, the intermediate portions of the resilient strips forming a spring support for a machine.
In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
