Abstract
A container having two channel-like members which mate with one another to form an enclosure and a plurality of threadable clip members attached to the channel-like members, each threadable clip member having a threadable slot where (a) the slots of certain ones of the clip members respectively receive predetermined edges of the channel-like members and (b) screws or the like may be threaded in the slots of the remaining ones of the threadable clip members, the screws extending through holes provided in the channel-like members to thereby secure the latter members together.
Claims5
A container comprising two channel-like members which mate with one another to form an enclosure and a plurality of threadable clip members attached to the channel-like members, each threadable clip members having a threadable slot where (a) the slots of certain ones of the clip members respectively receive predetermined edges of the channel-like members and (b) screws or the like may be threaded in the slots of the remaining ones of the threadable clip members, the screws extending through holes provided in the channel-like members to thereby secure the latter members together.
A method of assembling a container having two channel-like members which mate with one another to form an enclosure and a plurality of threadable clip members attached to the channel-like members, each threadable clip member having a threadable slot where (a) the slots of certain ones of the clip members respectively receive predetermined edges of the channel-like members and (b) screws or the like may be threaded in the slots of the remaining ones of the clip members, the screws extending through holes provided in the channel-like members to thereby secure the latter members together, said method comprising the steps of
- bending two flat members to respectively form said two channel-like members,
- attaching said clip members to at least one of said channel-like members,
- inserting said predetermined edges of one of said channel-like members into the slots of said certain ones of said clip members to thereby mate the channel-like members together to form said enclosure, and
- threading said screws through said holes into the slots of said remaining ones of the clip members to thereby secure the latter members together.
