PAPER BOX Filed Nov. 21, 1938 2 Sheets-Shef? INVENTOR. JAM P C'oH/v Patented July 22, 1941 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Sam P. 0011 222: zr n cisco, 7 Application gm! N0. 241,550
This invention relates to paper boxes and it has for its principal object the provision of a paper or cardboard box of the suit box type, having a handle for the convenient carrying of the same.
A further object of the invention is to provide a box of the character mentioned from a onepiece blank and which is set up and folded upon itself to make a complete box, and to provide the box with an attachable handle member.
I am aware of the fact that the prior art contains instances in which others have sought to meet the objectives of this invention but as one experienced in this specific art it has been my observation that each and all of the prior art structures are subject to criticism for one reason or another; not the least of these being the fact that the boxes were unduly complex; diflicult to manufacture; required extreme patience in assembling, and lacked the necessary strength.
It has therei'ore'been an object to provide a suit box which could be cheaply manufactured and quickly assembled by even the less experienced.
These and other objects of the invention will become more apparent as this specification proceeds and the novelty thereof will be particularly pointed out in the append claims.
In the drawings forming a part hereof:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the box blank an handle member.
Fig, 2 is a perspective view of the completely assembled box,
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the box of Fig. 2 in partly opened condition,
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the box opened to a greater extent than is shown in Fig. 3 and without the handle member,
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective of the handle section of the box in the first stage of the assembly,
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective of the handle section of'the box in the -second stage of assembly,
Fig. 7 corresponds to Fig. 6 and shows the next stage of assembly,
Fig. 8 corresponds to Figs; 5 to 7, inclusive, and shows the final stage of assembly,
Fig. 9 is a longitudinal section through the handle section of the box to show the relative position of parts,
Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing the handie member in partly assembled condition, and
Fig. 11 is aperspective view showing the handle as completely folded.
' The numeral I0 designates the box blank and a handle member II (in full extended condition) is shown in juxtaposition thereto for the purpose of indicating that the two members are cut from a single piece of stock. The position of the handle member II in Fig. 1 is illustrative only since it is obvious that it may be cut from that the bottom l9.
In assembling the box thus defined, the front sections l6 and 20 are folded along scorelines l2 and I5, respectively, and end sections to 21,
inclusive, are folded upwardly along the score lines l2 and I5, respectively. The front and end sections are then connected by engagement of the conventional tongues 3| with the slits 36 in the end sections. 7
The structure thus formed is foldable upon itself, in the manner illustrated in Fig. 4, notched sections 28 being scored to provide an accordion fold and permitting end sections 24 and 25 to overlap end sections 26 and 21, respectively.
The separate handle I0 is shown to best advantage in Figs. 1, 10, and 11. plurality of bit-shaped pieces interconnected at their ends, as cut from a single piece of material, foldable upon themselves to provide the unitary member shown in Fig. 11. This construction is preferred because the handle thus provided is considerably stronger than a single thickness of material and because of the facility with which the handle may be inserted in its proper position, but it will be appreciated that the handle may be divided into separate pieces without departing from the spirit of the invention. The enlarged ends .36 of the shank of the handle II are the meansv of connecting the same to the box as will hereinafter appear.
It comprises a permit interconnectionof handle H and the box.
The slit 31 comprises U-shaped arrangement of a longitudinally extending slit 39, adjacent the edge of the outer front section, having cut-out slots 40"extending laterally therefrom, and parallel the ends of the section l6. Thus a punchout bendable tab 4| is defined. The slots 40 facilitate the insertion of the handle as will be v I The enlarged ends 38 of the handle H are first passed through the slits 42 to 45, inclusive (see Fig. 5). and hooked under front section 20.
The next step is the telescoping of the box top I! and bottom 19, the condition of the box at the commencement of this step being illustrated in Fig. 3. The tab 4| is be'ntinwardly and the marginal edge of front section It is raised and passed over the handle member H;- tab 4| being passed between the surface of section ,20 and handle H (see Fig. 7). Further movement causes the handle II to enter the slots 49 in front section l6 and the handle is then pulled outwardly into extended position (see Figs. 2 and 8).
While it is true that this interconnection of box and handle provides a locking means which in the majority of cases would serve effectively to keep the box closed, nevertheless auxiliary lock means 48 and 49 is provided. On opposite sides of the slitted area 31 in front section I6, I provide the opposed U-shaped slits 48. T-shaped punch-out tabs 49, in front section 20, are in registry with the slits 48 and in effecting the interlocking of the box members with this means the ends of the cross-bars in the tabs 49 are merely inserted through the opposed slits 48 (see Fig. 2).
It is believed clear that I have provided a box 7 which can be quickly and conveniently assembled, and one which is of extremely simple and inexpensive construction. 4
The box forming the subject matter of this invention has been particularly devised for use in carrying articles of wearing apparel and as such it is obvious it will serve effectively to support considerable weight. The principle of the invention is, however, by no means limited to suit boxes and it may find many uses in the container art. Moreover the device may be changed to suit varying needs and conditions without departing from the spirit of the invention and for this reason I deem the form shown in the drawings as illustrative only; not as a limitation.
I claim;
1. In a paper box, the combination of hinged top and bottom sections which when telescoped form a container of the suit bex-type, a bitshaped handle member having enlarged ends,
a pair of spaced slots transversely disposed in the front section of the box bottom of sufficient size to receive the shank of the handle but smaller than the enlarged ends of the handle, a slit 7 extending longitudinally of the front section of the box bottom and outwardly from the corresponding end of each of said slots, a second slit extending transversely of the front section of the box bottom from the end of each of said longitudinal slits and on the sides thereof opposite to said slots, and a third slit extending longitudinally of the front section of the box bottom from the end of each of the second named slits parallel to the first named slits and inwardly toward the middle of the front section .of the box bottom, the said end of said slots from which the slits extend being the end remote from the free edge of the front section of the box bottom.
2. In a paper box, the combination of hinged top and bottom sections which when telescoped form a container of the suit box type, a bitshaped handle member having enlarged ends, a pair of spaced slots transversely disposed in the front section. of the box bottom ofsufiicient size to receive the shank of the handle but smaller than the enlarged ends of the handle, a slit extending longitudinally of the front section of the box bottom and outwardly from the corresponding end of each of said slots, a second slit extending transversely of the front section of the box bottom from the end of each of said longitudinal slits and on the sides thereof opposite to said slots, a third slit relatively shorter than the two first named slits extending longitudinally of the front section of the box bottom from the end of each of the second slits parallel to the first named slits and inwardly toward the middle of the front section of the box bottom, the said end of said slots from which the slits extend being the end remote from the free edge of the front section of the box bottom, a pair of transversely disposed slots in the front section of the box top adapted to register with the corresponding slots in the front section of the box bottom when the box is in closed condition, and a slit extending longitudinally of the front section of the box top connecting the ends of slots therein adjacent the bottom edge of the front section of the box top to provide a locking tab to retain the handle member in carrying position when the box is in closed relation.
