FRANK G. DABNEY, OIE WICHITA, KANSAS.
BASKET.
Application filed May 18, 1916.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK C. DABNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Basket, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to baskets of that type particularly designed for holding fruits and the like and which have heretofore been made of veneer. One of the objects of the invention is to provide a basket the walls, top and bottom of which can be made of paper suitably reinforced, thus greatly lightening the basket without, however, reducing its efiiciency.
A further object is to provide improved means for attaching the handle to the basket without danger of injuring the paper walls thereof.
Another object is to provide a basket which can be shipped in a knocked-down condition but which can be readily set up for use without the exercise of any particular skill.
WVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the com-' bination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, with out departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the pre-- ferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the basket.
Fig. 2 is a central vertical transverse section.
Fig. 3 is a detail view of a blank.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a length of stiff paper, one edge of which is extended into a channeled strip 2 preferably formed of tin and which extends throughout the length of the strip 1; Secured along the other longitudinal edge of the strip 1 are wooden strips 3 disposed in alinement with and spaced from shorter strips 4:. A finishing strip of tin or the like, indicated at 5, is arranged upon the opposite face of the strip 1 and is held thereto by nails 6 extending through the Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 15, 1917.
Serial No. 98,356.
finishing strip and, through the strip 1 into the wooden strips 3 and 4.
The strip 1 is designed to be bent along transverse lines indicated at 6, thus to produce side walls 7 and 8, end walls 9 and 10 and an end flap 11. The wooden strips 3 are of the same length as the side walls 7 and 8 and the short strips l are somewhat shorter than the end walls 9 and 10 so that when the strip 1 is bent to produce a rectangular receptacle the ends of the strips 3 will come between the ends of the strips 4 and the adjoining side walls 7 and 8.
The flap 11 is designed to lap the side wall 7 and to be held in place by nailing it to the wooden strip 3. The channel strip 2, when bent along the line 6, will hold the upper edge of the strip 1 comparatively rigid.
Slots 12 are formed in the side walls 7 and 8 close to the centers of the upper edges thereof and are designed to receive the inwardly offset portions 13 of the sides 14L of a bail 15; The sides 14 extend downwardly between and in contact with the walls 7 and 8 and are provided at their terminals with opposed U-shaped clips 16 designed to straddle the strips 3. Thus the basket can be lifted by means of the bail 15 and the strain will be transmitted directly to the wooden strips 3. The bottom 17 of the basket can be made of stiff oiled paper and is so shapedas to fit snugly upon the strips 3 and l. The basket can also be provided with a suitable top made of stilf oiled paper although the same has not been illustrated.
Obviously a number of baskets can be shipped in knocked-down condition with their walls straightened out as shown in Fig. 8, but these strips can be readily folded and secured as hereinbefore described and when the basket is produced, it will hold fruit as efficiently as the ordinary veneer basket even though much lighter.
While the improvements herein described are especially designed for use in connection with fruit baskets, it is to be understood that they can also be applied to other forms of receptacles.
While the supporting strips 3 and 4 are preferably formed of wood they can, ob viously, be made of any other desired material.
ll hat is claimed is 1. A device of the class described including an elongated strip adapted to be bent along transverse lines to form side and end walls,v supporting strips secured along one edge thereof, a bail having its sides eXtended through the side walls and along the innerfaces thereof, and means at the ends of the bail for engaging certain of the supporting strips, and a bottom adapted to rest upon said supporting strips.
2. A device of the class described including an elongated strip bent transversely to form side and end walls, supporting strips secured to the inner sides of said walls at the lower edges thereof, there being openings in opposed walls, a bail having its sides extended downwardly through the openings and along the inner sides of opposed walls,
and means integral with the bail for engaging certain of the supporting strips, and a bottom mounted on the supporting strips.
3. A device of the class described including an elongated strip bent to form side and end walls, supporting strips secured along the inner sides of said walls at the lower edges thereof, a bottom mounted on the supporting strips, a bail having intermediate offset portions at the sides thereof extending through opposed walls, said sides being extended downwardly along the inner sides of the walls, and means at the lower ends of the sides of the bail for embracing opposed supporting strips and pressing outwardly thereagainst.
4. A device of the class described including an elongated strip bent to form side and end walls and an end flap lapping one of the walls, a bendable reinforcing channeled strip extending along the upper edges of the walls and flap, supporting strips extending along the lower edges of the walls and extending inwardly therefrom, a bottom mounted on said strips, a bail having its side portions extending downwardly outside of the reinforcing strip and thence inwardly through opposed walls and clownwardly along the inner faces of the walls,
and clips at the lower ends of the bail and embracing and pressing outwardly against opposed supporting strlps.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
