SIMSINOVICI, M., 27, Avenue Carnot, Paris. Dec. 22, 1933, No. 36179. Addition to 270,511, [Class 53]. [Classes 18, 66, 125 (i), and 125 (iii)] [See also Groups IX, XI, XX, XXI, XXXVI, and XXXVIII] A box case, carton, or other container is provided with a closure made of a less compressible material than the container and furnished with a toothed or like surface at that portion which is to be presented to the wall of the container so that when the closure is inserted in the container and pressure applied to the latter,the teeth bite into the material of the container which becomes upset and enters into the cavities of the toothed area to secure the closure rigidly in place ; an article to be held in the container may constitute the closure therefor. As shown in Fig. 1 the closure 12 of a flash-lamp battery carton 10 has teeth 13 which are caused to bite into the material of the carton and the flange 16 is made to project above the bulb 15 to protect it ; the aperture 14 for the bulb is of frusto-conical form with a small outer end and the switch 19 is loosely fitted in an outwardly tapering aperture 20 in the closure. The closure 12 may be formed with a laterallyprojecting flange 22, Fig. 2, and may be additionally secured by a stud 23 having an outer head 24 and a shank 27 projecting into an undercut recess 25 in the toothed edge of the closure, so that when pressure is applied to secure the closure in place the shank 27 becomes upset and fixed in the recess ; the edge of the closure may be provided with teeth of different shapes. The closure for a dry battery container is made with flange to increase the toothed area and strength of the closure which may have tapered holes for receiving the sockets corresponding to the cells ; the holes may be closed by a paper strip secured at its ends to the underside of the closure. The closure may be provided with an inspection window and with a cord for withdrawal of the closure from the container. The closure 37, Figs. 4 and 5, of a carton may be of angular form with teeth along its edges 38 and, when removed from the body 34, may be used as a support or stand for an advertisement, calendar or the like. A bottle &c. 47, Fig. 6, may be secured within a tubular container 44 by a toothed closure 45 at one end and at the other end by teeth on the base 48 on the bottle &c. ; additional teeth 49 may be provided on any other part of the bottle &c. In a modification the screwed closure of a jar and the base thereof have toothed peripheries by which the jaw is secured within a tubular container and embossed lettering on the jar may may also be used to assist in the securing of the jar in the container. A strip of breakable material 70, Fig. 11, may be placed against one side of the bottle &c. 47, over the closure 45 and down the other side of the bottle &c. and secured by headed studs 71 passed through the container 44 and strip into undercut recesses in the closures 45, 48 and upset therein when the container is pressed against the closures ; the strip serves to indicate whether the bottle has been opened. The bullet 73 of a cartridge, Fig. 12, forming the closure for the case 75 is provided with helical teeth by which it is secured in the case and the case has corresponding undulations so that the bullet is set in rotation during its passage through the barrel of the firearm. The closures of an electric detonator are similarly secured in the case thereof. The flanges at the ends of photographic film spools, spools for typewriter ribbons, &c. and of electric coils and similar articles are toothed so that they can be secured in their containers with the flanges forming closures therefor by pressure on the container causing the teeth on the flanges to bite into the material of the container ; a cylindrical phonograph record is similarly secured in its container by teeth on the periphery at the ends thereof and teeth may be provided on an end to bite into an annular end plate on the container. The closure may have a conical aperture for the discharge of the contents of a jar &c. when it closes the end thereof as well as the end of the container and the toothed edge of the closure may be provided with a strip of foil or cork which, when the closure is secured in place, becomes embedded in the edge thereof and forms an hermetic seal.
