application, filea January v81, 19231 `'serial No. 818,208.
VBeit known that I, ,JosnrH Blanc, a citizen of the UnitedirStates, rejsidingtin Brooklyn, in the county` of Kings land State (wf-New Yorknhave invcnted'certain new anduse-f ful mprovements inTrunks, of which :the following| is alspeclfication;v p
This lnventlon relates to trunks lor containers and reinforcements or' corner connecting means therefor, thonghit is noted that. the invention is not limited tol trnnks nor containers; nor inisomerespects even to connectingmeans.V i
One obJect of-the invention `1s to provide, ina deviceofthis kind ya corner connecting means 'of strong, n protective and weather proof construction.
Another ob ect of thel invention isvto pro- I Vide a deviceof this kind which is easily ap- OtherV objects of the invention are'to improve generallylthel simpli'city and efcien'cy of'such devices andto provide a. device of this kmd wh1ch is extremely durable, economlcal to.l manufacture and assemble and vwhich will not wear out or get out of order.
The inventive, features vfor the 'aocom 1).] ishmentl of these and other objects are shown in connection with ,an im-provedcorner connecting means for the walls of'trunks, which,
brieflyrstated, comprises an inner molding or plate having margins, secured against the inner margins of the walls, and anjouter plate having marginal parts secured against the outermargin of the adjacent walls.
^ Reinforcementsand protectors: bridge over the outer mold'ings and are secured to' the Vwalls at'theendsofthelmoldings.: i
Other objects of the invention willappear as the description proceeds; andwhile herein details of the invention are described, the invention'is not limited to these, since many and various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed.
In the accompanying drawing, showing by way of example, one of many possible embodiments of the invention,
Figi.V 1 is a perspective view of a trunk with the connectingH means, 'reinforcements and pI'OtectQrs applied e Fig. 2' is. a fragmental.'perspective of; a corner of the trunk. with the inv'ention .applied; and`l W o i z i Fig`` 3' is a' fragmental` transverse-secfional view, taken ,through the .various parts slightly separated. e' i i V' I My improved connecting means is shown herein in combination witha trunk or other container having a boxportion 5 com'prising a bottom-and side and end walls 7 and 8,
anda lid portion 6 comprising atop'wall 9 and side and end walls, 10'fand 11.l 'Each Vof saidtwal'ls comprises a veneered wooden body 14 (Fig. 2) and an' onterl sheathing v15 A'of sheet metal, ywater'proof fabric or the like,
though other materials may beused,' and the invention is not1 limited to an outer sheathing..
The connecting means at each edge ofthe containerinclndesan inner` molding or strip 16'v of approximate- U-shapedcross section having diverged margins 17 secured against the inner margin ofthe respective'adjacent walls 14,' the Curved intra-marginal part 18 ofthe 'moldingsbeing disposede between and spacing'the edge faces 19vof the'w'alls.
An outer molding or strip 20 is provided with a curved midl partzlnestingon said intra-marginal` part 187 an' offset marginal pa-rt 23 secured against the ontern'iargin of the adjacent walls ltor thesheathing 15, and ashoulder, portion 21 ,.b etween A the in i d part 21 and marginalparts 23-disposcd adjacent to the outer portion of the end face 19V of the walls. Rivets 25l passing through i Said margins and marginal parts secnrethe walls and moldmgs together.
Relnforcements 27 and corner protectors 9,8"bridgi1'1gV over and, con'formng tol the outer facesof the ends of'the onter moldings 20, are provided with 'inset perforated ex'- tensions or-earsV 30 secured by rivets 31 to the respective adj acent walls.
I claim: i p
