Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct 21, 1913.

Application filed Zianuary 22, 1910. Serial No. 539,549.

To (ZZZ who m 1'1 may concern.

Be it known that I, ANDREW F. Ho-WDnN, a citizen of the-United States, residing at Skidmore, in the'county of Nodaway and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in SeedCorn and Grain Crates, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to means for transporting and storing seeds, grain and other material, and the primary object is to provide a simple and inexpensive device, which is thoroughly ventilated, in order that the material therein will be preserved, and at the same time, is proof against rodents and other vermin.

A preferred and practical embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawings in which the figure is a vertical sectional view through my improved grain crate.

Similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts in the figure of the drawing.

The receptacle contemplated by this invention essentially comprises an imperforate bottom member preferably of Wood or analogous material, associated with a cylindrical foraminous wall of fine wire netting or similar material, and also having an imperforate cover for the purpose of effectively excluding injurious elements from the con tents of the crate.

With particular reference to the structure disclosed by the figure the bottom disk of the crate is designated 19, and the ribs are secured thereto by fasteners 21. Surrounding these ribs and the bottom disk is a foraminous wall 22 having overlapped margins 23 disposed alongside one of the ribs. The foraminous wall in this structure extends above the ribs, and is bound by a strap 24, within which a cover 25 engages, said cover resting directly on the upper ends of the ribs. A bail 26 having a handle 13 is pivotally connected to ears 27 provided at the upper ends with reinforcing strips or wires 28 that are located outside the foraminous wall and longitudinally of the ribs. The lower ends of these reinforcing strips or Wires are inturned to provide Spurs 2'7 that pierce the lower clamping band 27 embedded in the bottom disk, and the said strips or Wires are secured at intervals to the ribs by staples 30. These staples and the strips or wires thereby constitute means fokr; clamping the foraminous wall to the r1 s.

From the foregoing, it is thoughtthatthe construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without further description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion and minor details of construction, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A seed receptacle comprising a solid bottom, oppositely disposed upstanding ribs carried thereby, a cylindrical foraminous wall externally surrounding said bottom and ribs and projecting above the upper ends of the ribs, a clamping band inclosing the lower end of said Wall, a clamping band inclosing the upper end of said wall, oppositely disposed external reinforcing strips having spurs at their lower ends that project through the lower clamping band, the lower end of said wall, and engage said bottom, the upper ends of said strips being provided with ears, fasteners for said strips extending through the wall and engaging the ribs, a cover fitted within the projecting upper ends of the wall and seated on the upper ends of said ribs, and a bail engaging said cars.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
