Jan. 5, 1932. o. B. ANDREWS CONTAINER 2 Sheets-Sheet -1 Filed Nov. 21, 1929 A'ITORN EY Jan. 5, 1932 CONTAINER 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed ,Nov. 21, 1929 ATTORNEY Patented Jan. 5, 1932 STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CONTAIN EB epplicatioii filed November 21, 1929. Serial No. 408,705.
This invention relates to containers, and more particularly to fiber containers of large size which are adapted for carryin bulky articles, such as loaves of bread an which may be folded into compact form and used a plurality of times.
The invention provides a relatively simple, dependable, hi hly 'eificient and convenient container whicn may be cheaply produced and used a (plurality of times. Various fea tures and a vantages will appear from a detailed descriptiongiven below taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification and illustrate merely by way of example an embodiment of the device.
Tl'ie invention also consists in certain new and original features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.
iilthough the novel features which are believed to be characteristic of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto, the invention itself, as to its objects and advantages, the mode of its operation and the manner of its organization may be better understood by referring to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the container;
2 is a horizontal section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the container taken on the line 3-8 of Fig. 2;
4- is a perspective view of a modified form of the container;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of the hinge showing the cover in closed position; and.
is an enlarged sectional View of the hinge showing the cover in wide open position.
Like reference characters denote like parts in the several figures of the drawings.
to be as generic in their application to similar parts as the art will permit.
The present invention provides a container which is preferably formed of stiff fiber board impregnated with a waterproofing material, such as a parafiin solution. The fiber board may be impregnated with this material on both sides wherebyrigidity of the fiber board is increased and deterioration due to moisture and other causes may be substantially eliminated.
The invention is shown as applied to a container formed of fiber board treated in the above manner which comprises side members which are suitably scored and bent into rectangular form and secured as by stitches 11. Top and bottom closure members 12 are provided with a flange 14 which is secured to side members 10 in any suitable manner as by stitches 15. Side members 12 are secured to opposite sides of the container and are of such dimension that when folded back upon the container they do not project beyond said side members. They are accordingly especially adapted for use in a container in which the width is not over twice the depth. It is obvious that if the width is equal or less than the depth a single top or bottom member could be employed which would extend entirely across the container, instead of the two members illustrated in the drawings.
In the modified form of container shown in Fig. 4, members 20 are omitted and side member 10 is provided with an eyelet 25 in substantial alignment with eyelets 16 of members 12. In this type of container members 12 may be secured in closed position by passing a tape (not shown) through eyelets 16 and 25. Top and bottom members 12 in the form shown in Figs. 1 and 4 are preferably made sufficiently wide to project over the sides 10 by which they are supported. This prevents the container from crushing and thereby injuring the articles carried therein.
Containers of the above type have been formed in large sizes, as for example, 3 ft. square, out of heavy fiber board which are impregnated with a parafiin solution and were found to be suflicientl rigid to be used in the distribution of ii t articles, after which they were collapse and returned for further use. The scoring of the top and bottom members prevents damage from repeated folding and the waterproof surface of the fiber board prevents injury and deterioration from moisture and from repeated handling.
While certain novel features of the invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in-its operation may he made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is 1. A container of waterproof fiber board a side member formed from a strip of said fiber board, suitably scored and bent to form the sides of said container, top andbottom membersof heavy waterproof fiber board deeply scored on both sides to form a hinge, an extra outside score adjacent and parallel to said hinge to permit said members to be folded outwardly against said side.
2. A container of waterproof fiber board comprising a side member formed from a strip of said fiber hoard, suitably scored and bent to form the sides of said container, top and bottom members of heavy waterprof fiber board deepl scored on both sides to form a hinge, a flange adjacent said hinge, means for securin said flange to the outer surface of said side members whereby said top and bottom members may be folded inwardly as a closure for said container and may be folded outwardly against the surface thereof when said container is colla sed, and additional members deeply score to ro vide a hinge and having a flange secure to the opposite faces of said container to close the openings between the edge of said top and bottom members and the side of said container when said container is closed, said top and bottom members and said additional members having an extra score arallel to said hinge scores to facilitate sai members in bending outwardly against the sides of said container.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
OLIVER BUBNSIDE ANDREWS.
