GARMENT SHIPPING CONTAINER Filed July 29. 1927 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 WWW/70B FEEOEE/C/(G/QOAMPZ 5e Patented June 14, 1932 UNITE SATES FREDERICK G. ROEMPLER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS GARMENT SHIPPING CONTAINER Application filed July 29,
This invention relates to an improved garment shipping container, and has for one of its principal objects the provision of a novel and useful container to be used particularly for shipping garments or the like in express or parcel post;
One of the important objects of this invention is to provide a shipping container for garments, particularly dresses, suits, or the like, which, when used for express and parcel post shipments, will protect the goods from damage during transit and will also secure the same against thefts or pilfering.
Another important object of this invention is to provide, in a garment shipping container, a device which can, if necessary or desirable, be used in conjunction with the ordinary garment box now on the market and now practically universally used, while at the same time eliminating the possibility of theft or pilfering which are present with the ordinary type of container.
Still another and further important object of this invention is to provide, in a garment container, means for readily and easily packing more than the usual number of garments in the container without wrinkling or damaging the same in any way.
Other and further important objects of the invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the accompanyingdrawings and following'specification.
The invention, in a preferred form, is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter I more fully described.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved garment shipping container of this invention, showing the same in open position.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the blank used in making the interior portion of the container.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the blank used in making the exterior part of the container.
Figure 4c is a perspective View illustrating a slight modification of the invention.
Figure 5 is a plan View showing the blank used in making the outer portion of the con taiuer shown in Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a detail view, parts being broken 1927. Serial No. 209,233.
away, illustrating an additional means which i tangular, is very economical of construction.
The dotted lines in Figure 2 indicate the lines of fold used in forming the blank into the box, and the dotted lines in Figure 1 indicate the outlines of the interior of the container 12. It is obvious that the shape, height,
depth, etc., of the container may be varied to suit requirements.
In practice, the container 10, being formed from the blank shown in Figure 3, is permanently closedat one end, preferably by stitching the flaps 14 together in an obvious manner, and the flaps 16 are also stitched together to form the sides of the box.
The inner container 12 is then slipped into the outer member 10 in the position shown in Figure 1, with the still open flap 20 of the container 10 being uppermost and adjacent the upper open end of the container 12. Whenever it is desired to place an extra number of garments or additional material into the carton a removable cover member 22 may be used for the inside box 12, one end of which is placed under the short flap 24 and over the garments, after which the container 12 is placed into the container 10, wedging the garments down into proper position in the container 12, and eliminating any possibility of wrinkling or damaging the same. The member 22 can then be withdrawn, if desired, or the end thereof can simply be folded over around the outer end of the container 12 to form an additional cover or protecting member. It will be noted that the flap 26 at the opposite end of the container 12 from the-flap 24 is longer, this being to more securely cover the goods and prevent the insertion of a hand or hand hook or the like by a'thief who might thereby remove one of the dresses or other articles from the container. The middle part of the outer flap 20 is finally hand stitched, glued or otherwise fastened into position after the member 12 has been placed completely inside the outer box or container 10, thereby positively preventing any unauthorized tampering with the goods or garments in the con tainer.
Evidently, when the member 20 is stitched in position extending around the end of the container 12 and with the outer end of the flap being inserted between the end of the container 12 and the corresponding portion of the outer member 10, it will be practically impossible for any unauthorized person to gain access to the interior of the package without damaging the same in such amanner that it will be immediately evident to anyone receiving or inspecting the goods. Further, the flap 20 may be sealed in position by means of a gummed strip of paper or tape, which should preferably have the name of the shipper thereon, and can also be provided with the name and address of the consignee. In the event that plain gummed tape is found substituted for that usually bearing the shippers name it will be evident that the package has been tampered with.
Naturally, if this gummed tape or paper is broken the consignee can refuse to accept the goods as in bad order or having been tampered with, and further, the temptation to remove one or more of the articles from the inside of the package will be eliminated or removed if the difficulties in so doing are too great.
In Figure 4 is shown a modification of the invention which can be used when heavier articles are shipped or when additional protection is desired. In this figure the inner container 12 is the same shown in Figure 1, while the outer container 30 has additional flaps 82 and 34-. formed integral therewith in addition to the original flap 20a, this being formed from the blank shown in Figure 5, wherein provision is made for the additional flaps 32 and 34-. By the use of this construction the flap 34 may be glued or otherwise secured to the flap 200; by means of stitching machines or box sealing machines commonly in use, and which absolutely prevent damage of any kind to the garments and positively assures a smooth and even packing surface under all conditions. The flap 34 is applied last.
As an additional precaution the end of the flap 20a may be sealed to the bottom of the container 12 by means of a strip of gummed paper or the like 40, one-half of which can be first applied to the flap 20a before the same is inserted between the bottom of the container 12 and the corresponding portion of the outer container 80, and the other portion of which gummed paper when wet will naturally adhere to the bottom of the container 12 when the flap 20a is inserted into proper position. By the us of this contrivance it would be impossible for any pilferer to gain access to the interior or even to remove the flap 20a by means of a flat instrument or similar device, as the gummed strip 40 will prevent any such operation.
It will be seen that herein is provided a shipping container which can be designed and varied to meet the needs of the particular type of goods shipped, and which will be symmetrical in shape, securely bound, and can be well marked.
Further, practically one hundred percent. of shipments of goods in such containers will be delivered in good condition. Again, either the top or bottom of an ordinary two-piece suit box can be used in the place of the inner container 12, thereby making available to shippers the supply of any such boxes which they might have on hand.
I am awarethat many changes may be made and numerous details of construction varied throughout a Wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon otherwise than as necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention:
A garment shipping container, comprising an inner open top box, having overhanging flaps at the ends, one of said flaps being longer than the other, and an outer enveloping container for said box, together with means for packing additional garments into the container, said means comprising a sheet of material similar to the box material, and of substantially the same size as the open end of the inner container, said sheet being fitted under the shorter of the flaps of the inner container and passing over the longer flap, said sheet being adapted to be withdrawn when the garments are packed in said containers.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
FREDERICK G. ROEMPLER.
