sections C and pass through the slots in the
side border-strips of the bottom section A and
top section D.
When the crate or box is originally as-
5 sembled, the stay-bolts 4 throughout the se-
ries of end and side sections B and C are first
introduced into said sections, the nuts thereon
being sufficiently receded to permit of the
passage of the hook ends of the bolts through
10 the slots in the sections adjacent thereto.
The binding-wires 7 and tie-wires 9 are then
applied to the stay-bolts, and the nuts of said
bolts are tightened to draw the wires into
the pockets 6, in which the hooked ends of
15 the bolts are present, the terminals of the
binding-wires being held by the attachment
of their eyes to the hooks or stay-bolts, to
which they are passed previous to such stay-
bolts being tightened. When the crate or box
20 is to be opened, the nuts of the stay-bolts that
confine the binding-wires 7 are loosened to a
sufficient degree to permit of the hooks of said
bolts being projected outwardly from the
pockets 6 that they occupy, after which the
25 end portions of the binding- wires may be
readily detached from the bolt-hooks, as seen
in Fig. IV, and bent outwardly into the posi-
tions seen in dotted lines, Fig. I. The nuts
of the stay-bolts that confine the tie-wires 9
30 at the top of the crate or box are likewise
loosened to permit of their hook ends being'
protruded for disconnection of the tie-wires
therefrom, as seen in Fig. V, after which the
tie-wires may be readily slipped off the top
35 section D and downwardly on the binding-
wires 7, as seen in Fig. I, thereby releasing
the top section, so that it may be removed to
gain access to the crate or box.
It will be understood that the box or crate
40 may be readily rendered suitable for holding
liquids or semiliquid substances by placing a
suitable lining therein.
The crate or box may be readily shipped in
knocked-down condition when the various
45 sections thereof are disassembed and the stay-
bolts are drawn inwardly in the various sec-
tions in which they are seated and their nuts
are tightened, the wires to be used for bind-
ing the sections together when set up being
5c utilized to bind the disassembled sections into
a bundle, as seen in Fig. VIII.
I claim as my invention-
1. A receptacle of the character described.
consisting of a plurality of sections provided
55 with bolt-holes, open-hook stay-bolts in a part
of said sections adapted to pass through bolt-holes in other of the sections adjacent thereto,
and binding-wires passing around said sec-
tions and adapted to be detachably engaged
by the hooks of said stay-bolts, substantially 6o
as set forth.
2. A receptacle of the character described,
consisting of a plurality of sections provided
with bolt-holes, open-hook stay-bolts in a part
of said sections adapted to pass through bolt- 65
holes in other of the sections adjacent thereto,
and binding-wires passing around said sec-
tions and adapted to be detachably engaged
by the hooks of said stay-bolts; said sections
being provided with pockets at the bolt-holes 70
therein to receive the hooks of said stay-bolts
and the wires fitted thereto, substantially as
set forth.
3. A receptacle of the character described,
consisting of a plurality of sections provided 75
with bolt-holes, open-hook stay-bolts in a part
of said sections adapted to pass through bolt-
holes in other of the sections adjacent thereto,
binding-wires passing around said sections
and adapted to be detachably engaged by the 8o
hooks of said stay-bolts, and tie-wires con-
necting said binding-wires and adapted to be
detachably engaged by the hooks of said stay-
bolts, substantially as set forth.
4. A receptacle of the character described, 85
consisting of a plurality of sections provided
with bolt-holes, open-hook stay-bolts in a part
of said sections adapted to pass through bolt-
holes in other of the sections adjacent thereto,
binding-wires passing around said sections 90
and adapted to be detachably engaged by the
hooks of said stay-bolts; said binding-wires
being provided with eyes at their termina-
tions, substantially as set forth.
5. A receptacle of the character described 9
consisting of a plurality of sections provided
with bolt-holes, open-hook stay-bolts in a part
of said sections adapted to pass through bolt-
holes in other of the sections adjacent thereto,
binding-wires passing around said sections Too
and adapted to be detachably engaged by the
hooks of said stay-bolts, and tie-wires con-
necting said binding-wires and adapted to be
detachably engaged by the hooks of said stay-
bolts; said binding-wires and tie-wires being 105
provided with eyes at their terminations, sub-
stantially as set forth.
