  • My invention relates to improvements in egg boxes, and the object of my invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and safe receptacle for the. carrying and handling of eggs in which the I eggs are suspended and supported clear of each other so that the breakage is reduced to the minimum and the construction of which is such that the removal of the eggs is accomplished with great facility.
  • a furtherobject is to devise an egg box capable of being assembled from its knock-down form into receptacle form very quickly and with great convenience and'which is very cheap to manufacture.
  • Figure 1 is a view of the device in knock-down form
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device unfolded
  • Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig.1;
  • Fig. 4 is a detail view of a wall
  • Fig. 5 is an end view of the assembled device
  • Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating the alternative engagement of the ends ofthe blank.
  • the partitions as shown in Figs. 5, 7 and 8 form a base for the body member to rest on, and as they project both below and at each side of the body they serve as protectors for the body member and its contents, being in the nature of'proiecting fins or webs, receiving any side blows or pressures to which the box may be subjected.
  • What I claim as my invention is: I a 1'; An egg box comprising a foldable blank adapted when distended to afford a trough-likebox body and partitions individually removably mounted on the body blank and adapted when the walls of the body blank are folded together to lie longitudinally with respect to said walls and adapted to be automatically unfolded into transverse relation to the body walls as the body is distended, substantially as described.
  • An egg box having a body with an upstanding slotted portion, partitions extending through said slots, and thereby adapted to swing into folded'position against the sides of-said upstanding portion or to extend at right angles thereto, said body portion having extensions to fold up around the edges of the partitions with means for holding the said extensions inclosing said partitions, said partitions when folded lying betweenthe extensions 'and the upstanding portions, the extensions and the partitions being adapted to interengage with one another when the box body is distended to prevent internal and external dls-, placement of the body walls. substantially as described.
  • An egg box comprising a body member having an upstanding center portion, partitions mounted thereon to fold against the faces thereof or to extend at right angles thereto, said body having extensions at each side creased to fold intermediate of their width at points distant from the base oi the center portion about equal to the height of said center portion and adapted to fold over said center portion when the partitions are folded, the terminal portions of said extensions beyond the creases being no wider than the height of the center portion, whereby the box when in folded form will present a stripiike formation of a width substantially that of the height of the center portion, substantially as described.
  • An egg box comprising a slotted blank and walls inserted in said slot each provided with end notches, said walls being adapted to lie flat one on the other longitudinally of the blank when the same is folded and to be erected transverseiy of the blank by the opening out of the same, the said blank when opened out forming sides adapted to be seated in the said wall notches so as to form with the said walls egg-carrying compartments, and the notches serving to prevent internal and external displacement of the sides of 'the blank.
  • An egg box comprising a slotted blank and walls inserted in said slots each provided with end notches and an upper edge slot, said walls being adapted to lie flat one on the other longitudinally of the blank when the same is folded and to be erected transversely of the blank by the opening out of the same, the said blank when opened out forming sides adapted to be first seated in the said end notches so as to form with the walls egg-carrying compartments and then folded so that its ends may be engaged in the upper edge slots whereby covers for the said compart- I ments are formed.
