Patented Aug. 3, 1909.
Application med nach s, '1909. snal No. 481,995.
To all whom it 'may concern: l
Beit known that I, JAMES F. ADAMs a cltrzen of the United States, and residing at Phillipsburg, -in the county of Warren and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Knockdown Boxes, of which the' following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in' the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to rknockdown boxes; and the object'thereof is'to provide an .improved device of this class composed of Iibrous`material and which jmay be convenietly set up for'use whenever desired and also compactly folded together for packing or other purposes whenever necessary; a
. further object being to provide a box of the clas'sspecified, all the parts .ofwhich, or the varlous sides or front, back and endsof which together with'the top and bottom are composed of double thicknesses of material whereby the box when in use is made muchv stronger and more 'substantial than boxes of this class as ordinarily constructed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure l -is a perspective view of myv improved box showing the same partially prepared for use, Fig. 2 a view showing the box lclose'din full lines and vpartly closed in dotted lines, F ig..3 a section on the line .3 3 of Fig. 2, butshowing the parts in a different position, Fig. 4 a section on the lined-.4 of Fig. ,-2, but showing the parts in a different position, Fig. 5 a perspective view showing the separate parts of the boxl folded together, Fig. 6 a section on the line 6-'6 of Flg. 5, Fig. ,6a a frontvieew vshowing a partof the frontcof the box and showinge 4a fastening device which I employ connected therewith, Fig. 7 a view similar to Fig. l,but
showing a modification with parts of the construction broken away,'an'd some of the parts indifferent positions, Fig. 8 a perspective view of the construction shown in Fi l7,` and showing'the box partly closed and parts broken away, Fig. 9 a perspective view ofthe' box shownin 8' but showing said box -completely closed, 4 ig. 10 a 'partasection on the 'line lO-li'l'O of Figl9 and oir i an enlar ed scale, Fig. 11 a perspective view showing he box that is shown Figs. '7 to 9 inclusive partly collapsed, or he separate parts. thereof artly folded. together and with: parts oft e construction broken away, v Fig. 12 a perspective .view showing the box shown in Figs. 7 to 11 completely folded together, and ;-Fig. 13 a section on the line 13 13 of Fig. 12.
In the practice of my invention asshown in Figs. lto 5 iriclusive, I provide a box of' the classpecied which is composed of a main boxme'mbero open at the top and bottom and comprising separate side members b, c,
Z and e, and for the purposes of this de- 7o scription the side member b will b called the front, the opposite side member d the back and theparts o and e thel sides of the a box. The parts b, c, d and e of the, main box member a are foldably connected at the corners in any desired manner, but preferably by means of canvas strips f in the usual manner, and the front b is provided at the top edge thereof, asshown in the 'drawings, with a folding member b2 provided 80 with supplemental folding members b3, b4 and b5', and the folding member b5' is prof vided at its free edge with a fla o". The top edge of the side member o o the body of the box is provided with a folding member o2 having supplemental' folding members yc3, oi* and 05and the folding member o5 1s provided at its free edge withI a fiap o". The folding members b2 rand o2 are connected with the main box member a and the separate parts b2, b3, o* and b5, and c2, fct", o* and o5 are foldably'- connected by means of canvas strips, f in the usual or any preferred manner.
As shown in Fig. I, theitop and bottom of the box are open, and in pre aring the box for use one of the folding side members o2 or b2 is first folded in the following manner. Beginning with the folding side member o2 the said member and the partscon- 100 necte'd therewith are folded as shown in Fig. 3,- the parts 02' being folded downwardly and inwardly t0 form a double thickness for the side @,the part c3 is then folded to form the bottom thickness of the box as shown in Fig. 3 and then upwardly to form the inner thickness of the side e, and this leaves` the part c5 free as shown in Fig. 3. The foldin memberI b2 is then folded inwardly an' downwardly as shown in Fig. 4 to form the 1l-3 inner thickness of the front 't and then transversely to form the innerthickness of the bottom, and then upwardly` to form the inner thickness of the back d, and the part b is left free as shown in Fig. 4c. The box is now in condition for use or to receive the desired contents, and after said contents have been placed therein the folding member c5 is closed down as shown in full lines and broken away in Fig. 2, after which the folding member b5 is closed down and se- `cured by means of'fastening devices g.which are connected with the front b and operate in connection with the iap b, and in this operation the flap c of the folding part c5 preferabl'y'ffiits within the top of the box while theiiap b overlaps the front b, and the top of the box is composed of t'wo thicknesses of material as are all the sides and bottom thereof.
The fastening device or devices g' consist u of an oblong strip g2 of flexible material preferably metal and provided at one end with a tongue g3, and this tongue, in practice, is passed through the topjportion of the front Z) of the bo'x from the top edge thereof downwardly and outwardly, and lin securing the top part/b of the cover., the part g2 of the fastening device g is passed throughv ythefolding connection-of the flap b with the part b?, and then bent downwardly and the tongue g3 is passed through a transverse v slot g4 in the part g2 and then bent down-` wardly as clearly indicated in Fig. 2. In
opening the box the .parts of the fastening device g are separated@ as will be readily understood, after which the folding members b5 and c5 are successively raised as will also be understood. My invention is not limited to the particular form of fastening devlces g herein shown and described,and
I f any desired form of devices of this classmay of the main box member 11,.
vided with supplemental be employed. i..
In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown the separate parts ofthe box hereinbefore described folded -compactly together for packing or other purposes.
In the construction shown in Figs. 7 to- -is provided at one of its lateral side edges with a folding member n having a supplemental folding member n2 provided with -a -lap n3, and said folding memberz'2 is provided at its opposite lateral or,side edge witli a .folding member' 0 having a flap 02'.' The top edge of the front of themain box member z is also provided with a folding member p having a supplemental folding member p2;4
kThe method of folding the parts of the `box 4so as to close the bottom and prepare said box for use is clearly shown in" Figs. 7 and 8, Fig. 7sl1owing said parts partly folded in full` lines, and Fig.y 8 completely folded into position for use in full lines, the folding members 2, 3, 4 and 5, and the folding members n, n2 and n3 and 0 and 02' being also shown in dotted lines in Fig. 7. In this operation all the sides or the front, back and sides of the box together with the top and'bottomthereof are composed of two thicknesses of material as will be clearly seen, and the operation of closing the box is clearly shown in Figs. 9 and 1G and is substantially the sameas that shown in Figs. 1 to 6 inclusive and hereinbefore describred. In Fig. 11 I have shown this form Yof box partially folded together for packing purposes, and in Fig. 12. completely folded together, 'and in Fig. 13 a transverse section on the line 13-13 of Fig. 12 is given, and this operation will be readily understood from the lettering of the parts shown inl said figures.
In both the forms of construction herein shown and described only one of the sides of the box, the front side as shown in the drawings, is provided with fastening devices, but as hereinbefore stated my invention is not limited to the exact means shown and described for fastening or securing the box; and various changes 'in and modiications of these features of the construction, together with other details thereof, as herein shown and described may be made, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirt of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.
I-Iaving fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is z- 1. A knockdown box of the class described 4 comprising a/mai .box member open at the top and bottom, and folding members connected with the main box member and adapted to be foldedv so as to- .close the top and bottom and to form said top and bottom and all the sides of'the box ofv double thicknesses of material, all the parts of said knockdownbox being adapted to be folded together.
2f A knockdown box of the class described comprising a main box member open at the top and, bottom, and folding members connected with the main boxl member and adapted to be folded so as to close the top and bottom and' to form said 'top and bottom and all the sides of the box of double thicknesses of material, all the parts of said knockdown box being adapted to be folded together and being also composed of a single blank or piece of material.
. 3. vA knockdown box of the class describedcomprising a main lbox member open at the top and bottom, and folding members oonnected with the main box member and adapted to be folded so as to close the top and bottomand-to form said top and bottom and all the sides of the box of double thieknessesfof material, all'the parts of said knockdown box being adapted to be folded together, and means for securing the parts of the box in'a elosedposition.
lIn testimony that I claim the foregoing 15 as my invention I have signed my name in presence of thesubscribing Witnesses4 this fifth day of March 1909.
