12 Claims.
The invention relates to a movable container with a telescoping drawer adapted to hold various articles or to serve as an ash tray or the like, and has been particularly applied to a miniature truck.
One object of the invention is to provide a movable container with a telescoping drawer for concealing articles such as cigarettes when closed, and outwardly movable to expose the articles for use or to serve as an ash tray or the like.
Another object is to provide a novel means of operation of a receptacle in a movable container whereby the receptacle may be opened or closed by movement of the container upon a surface such as a table top.
Another object is to provide a receptacle drawer in a container like a miniature truck from which articles placed therein can be readily removed.
A further object is to provide a telescoping receptacle drawer in a container like a miniature truck wherein the weight of the drawer when moved outwardly of the container is counterbalanced to prevent tilting of the container.
A further object is to provide a miniature model vehicle which is a duplication of a road vehicle and serves a useful purpose as a container and toy as well as being a work of art.
These and other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter in connection with the following description of an embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a miniature truck illustrating the invention, with parts broken away and sectioned;
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with the drawer therein in extended position;
Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view through the truck in the position of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 44 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 1 with the top of the vehicle broken away;
Fig. 6 is a detail section taken on line E5 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 7 is a detail section taken on line 1'l of Fig. 2.
Although the invention can be applied to numerous types of containers, for purposes of i1- lustration the invention is shown as applied to a delivery truck which is a duplication in miniature of a road size vehicle.
In general the truck comprises body section 5 having a curved top which slopes gradually downwardly at the forward end to merge into the cab of the truck sloping down to front bumper '2. The rear of body I is open for access to the inside and the body of the truck on the sides of the opening extends downwardly on a slight slant to the rear bumper t. The cab portion of body l is provided with suitably shaped openings and markings on the sides and front to simulate the side windows and doors of the truck and the windshield. Likewise, suitable markings on the front of body I simulate the engine hood and headlights of a road size truck.
The truck is supported on serrated rubber tired wheels l which are secured to the front and rear axles 8. The front axle extends through suitable side bearing portions in the sides of the floor and over the base of the floor 4. Both floor i and body I are formed to permit the wheels to be inset within the body of the truck. The front axle is free to rotate when the front wheels of the truck are rotated.
The rear axle extends through bearing portions 9 on each side of floor 4 and thence over the base of the floor formed at this location to simulate the diiferential Iii-of a truck. The rear axle is free to rotate when the rear wheels r0.- tate. Longitudinal slots II are provided in floor 4 between each bearing portion 9 and differential it to impart flexibility to that portion of the floor supporting the rear axle, the use of which will be described hereinafter.
The body of the truck is formed to the general curvature of the rear wheels to permit the rear wheels to be .inset therein in line with the front wheels. Ledges 5 and floor '4 terminate at the forward and rear side of each rear wheel so that each rear wheel is inset within its respective ledge 5. Horizontal projections I2 extend .from the upper portion of each flange 6 of the floor over the rear wheels a short distance and are spaced upwardly from each wheel to provide a slot I3 between each rear wheel and the corresponding projection :2. The face of each flange 6 at the approach to the rear of the rear wheels turns inwardly to provide thereof the stops It, the use of which will be described hereinafter.
The drawer I5 provided as the receptacle for the truck has a bottom and four side walls providing an open top for easy access to the inside of the drawer to remove the contents. The rear wall I6 simulates the back of the truck, and is of a size to close the opening in the rear of the body of the truck when drawer I is shifted to position the drawer inside the truck body.
Rails or prongs I! are formed integrally with the bottom of the drawer and project forwardly from drawer I5 a substantial distance. The length of the rails and drawer is such that the drawer will fit completely inside the truck.
When drawer I5 is assembled inside the truck rails I! pass through slots I3 formed between the rear wheels and projections I2. Rails I! are of a thickness greater than the cross-section of slots I3 so that when the rails are forced through the slots, the rear wheels and axle are forced away from the body of the truck either by the body tending to move upwardly or the rear axle and wheels downwardly. This movement is permitted due to slots II in floor 4. As a result the rubber tired rear wheels are pre-loaded into substantial frictional engagement with rails II. The surface of rails I'I engaging the rear tires of the truck is tapered and the frictional engagement of the rear tires and rails is increased by serrations on the tapered surface of the rails and the matching serrations on the rubber tires.
Lugs I8 are provided on the side of each rail toward the forward end thereof. Lugs I8 engage stops I4 of flange 6 when drawer I5 is slipped into the truck in assembly, the lugs and stops being tapered complementarily to permit the lugs to slide over the face of each stop I4, as the rails spring inwardly. Once lugs I8 are over stops I4 rails I1 spring outwardly to normal position with the result that when drawer I5 is moved outwardly lugs I8 engage the forward side of stops I4 to limit the rearward movement of the drawer.
In operation, after drawer I5 is assembled with the truck, opening of drawer I5 is obtained by pressing lightly downwardly on the truck and moving the same rearwardly, thereby rotating the rear wheels in engagement with rails I! in a direction to drive the rails to the rear of the truck and open the drawer rearwardly. Rails I! move through slots I3 until lugs I8 engage stops I4. Drawer I5 then has moved to a position substantially completely out of the rear of the truck.
Closing of the drawer is obtained by a similar movement of the truck forwardly to rotate the rear wheels in engagement with rails I! in a forward direction which moves the drawer forwardly to a closed position. Rails I! are driven forwardly through slots I3 under the driving force of the tires of the wheels until the forward ends of the rails engage the front wall of the truck to conceal the drawer inside the truck with its back I6 closing the rear opening of the truck.
Drawer I5 is of a width to clear projections I2 when advanced into the truck. The drawer is removable from the truck by springing rails I'I inwardly to clear lugs I8 over stops I4 should it become desirable to completely remove the drawer from the truck.
The weight I9 is secured inside the forward end of the truck to counterbalance the weight of drawer I5 and its contents when the drawer is moved rearwardly to prevent the truck from tipping upwardly in front.
The truck and drawer are molded from a suitable thermosetting plastic of sufficient strength and thickness to stand up in service.
,The invention is applicable to many different types and shapes of trucks or other vehicles 4 formed as a duplication in miniature of road size vehicles.
While the invention has been shown as applied to a vehicle, different shaped containers for the drawer may also be constructed to embody the invention.
The invention provides a novel receptacle in a container such as a miniature truck which may be utilized for numerous different retaining purposes.
Various embodiments of the invention may be employed within the scope of the accompanying claims.
