June 28, 1960 w. T. MARSH COOLING RECEPTACLE 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 Filed April 24, 1956 INVENTOR. W/LL/AMZ'MHEZW/ .4 TfOE/VEY United States Patent() i 2,942,726 7 COOLING RECEPTACLE Filed Apr. 24, 1956, Ser. No. 580,370
1 Claim. (Cl. 206-44) My invention relates to an improved receptacle for exhibiting articles of mechandise, and particularly a receptacle adopted to protect such articles from the efiects of heat and warmth when put on sale in shops and market places.
An important object is to provide 'an open receptacle in which articles of mechandise can be disposed and subjected constantly to the action of a cooling agent in the receptacle to such an extent that all risk of spoiling and deterioration because of unsuitably high temperature in the surroundings, is obviated.-
Another object is to provide a cooling or refrigerating container that is simple in construction, requiring no special cooling apparatus, and quite certain and eflicient in operation.
The drawings illustrate preferred forms of the invention, and the nature and advantages are fully set forth herein. But I do not wish to be limited to the exact embodiment actually shown, for changes in numerous minor respects may be adopted without departure from the general design as defined in the appended claim.
On the drawings:
Figure l is a plan view of a blank sheet material, such as cardboard, shaped and scored so that it can be easily manipulated and set up to complete the receptacle.
Figure 2 is a perspective View of the receptacle as it appears when finished.
2,942,?26 Patented June 28, 1960 the portion 1 along the score lines 4. The portions 10 connecting the side and end portions are joined to the side portions 9 along score lines 11, marking the transverse terminal edges of the sideportions, adjacent the lines 2 and 3 respectively; and to theend portions 5 and 6 along the score lines 12, which are joined to the ends of the lines 4. The portions 10 are flaps connecting the side and end portions. They have the general form of an L and each has a diagonal score line 13 running from the re-entrant corner 14 to the junction of the lines 11 and 12 at the extremities of the lines 2 and 3, dividing each flap into two adjacent sections.
The side portions 9 each have a diagonal score line 15 running from the adjacent extremity of the line 2, at the common junction of the side, adjacent end and bottom portions, and a diagonal score line 16 running from the adjacent extremity of the line 3 at a similar junction. These lines 15 and 16 meet at adjacent points on the outer edges of the portions 9, and divide said portions into three contiguous sections; one 17, extending fully along the adjacent line 4 and two triangular sections 19, one connected to each adjacent flap 10 and both to the adjacent section 17.
The score lines 11 are not straight continuationscf the lines 2 and 3, but make such an angle therewith, and the, sections of each flap 10 are of such shapeand relative location, and the inclination of each score line 13 is such that, when the flaps 10 are folded along the line 13, the two sections of each flap coincide. This position is assumed when the end portions 5 and 6 and the side portions 9 are bent up perpendicular to the bottom portion 1 and the sections of the flaps 10 are securely stapled to themselves and the end portions 2 and 3, or so secured #by other means. The receptacle then has the appearance portrayed in Figure 2.
The some lines above mentioned enables the box to be collapsed by folding the portions 5 and 6 down on as indicated in Figure 3. The collapsed receptacle then Figure 3 shows the body of the receptacle with all parts 1 connected, but collapsed for storing or shipping.
Figure 4 is a plan view of a modified form of blank.
Figure 5 a sectional view of a detail.
Figure 6 is a perspective View of the receptacle formed with the blank shown in Figure 4; and
Figure 7 is a perspective View of the rear portion of the receptacle of Figure 6 with portions attached to the rear in readiness to be bent into final position.
The receptacle as presented in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 is preferably made of corrugated cardboard, the outer faces of which have been treated to render them entirely waterproof, and the blank is so shaped that there are no openings in it at any low point. The portion 1 for the bottom of the box is quadrangular and located at the middle of the blank and the side and end portions are also quadrangular. The transverse score lines 2 and 3 are parallel, and mark the portions 5 and 6 for the ends of the receptacle, but the line 2 is longer, and the bottom portion 1 thus tapers from the line 2 to the line 3. The longitudinal score lines 4 define the edges of the bottom portion between the ends, and these lines converge at equal angles from the ends of the line 2 towards the line 3. The end portions 5 and 6 are rectangular and hinge-connected to the bottom along the transverse score lines 2 and 3 respectively; and along the outer terminal edges the end portions 5 and 6 have flaps 7 and 8 hinged to the respective end portions along transverse lines similar to the lines 2 and 3.
The portions 9 for the sides of the receptacle are alike in size and configuration and hinge-connected to has the appearance of a polygon with two sides 4a paral-: lel and two pairs of converging sides 15a and 16a, or six long sides in all. Thus flattened the box can be stored or shipped in a small space, and can be set up at once by pulling upward on the edges of the portions 5 and 6. This action unfolds the sections of the side portions 9.
The flaps 7 and 8 on the portions 5 and 6, when the receptacle is finished, are turned down and secured over the folded flaps 10. See Figure 2. They then may serve as handles for lifting the receptacle. One of the flaps 7 on the portion 5 is wider and is bent along three transverse score lines 20, so that the portions between the score lines 26 can be folded and project inward and form a flange. Such portions have registering perforations making a hole 21 to receive a rod or stafi 22, bearing a display card 23. To hold the rod steady, a tab 25 is cut in the portion 5 andya hole 26 is formed in the tab. When the tab is )bent inward the holes 21 and 26 are in alinement and the rod is engaged at two separated points. The flange may be at the'upper edge of the portion 6 or a little above said edge.
The receptacle being moisture-proof because the outer layers of the cardboard are treated as required, is well V spect-ively wider-adjacent thefiapsj and 8 thanalbngftii 13;- the tWo sections of each flap coincide. tion is assumed in Figured when the end portions and r '6 'and'th e side :portions 9 are bent up not perpendicular 'sult in somewater, laiut tlrte water will be retained in the 2 receptacle because it leak-proof-at all points-and cannot run out on the shelves orzfioor. a
