PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Suspender for Light Boxes or Cases and other similar
articles.
We, CHARLES BATTY of Howarth Terrace, and HENRY CLAPHam Brooke
of Tanfield Terrace, both of Leeds in the County of York, Box Makers and Shop
Fitters, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows :—
The object of our invention is to provide a method whereby light boxes or cases
can be suspended, such suspender providing an easy means for carrying the same,
at the same time the suspender may be readily released for the purpose of opening
the box; such operation of opening the box cannot be effected without removing
such suspender.
For the above purpose we secure to two sides of the box by means of brackets,
suitable rings, and attach to one of these rings, one end of a string or cord. On
the free end of such cord is provided a hasp or other fastener.
On the lid being put onto the box and closed, the cord is passed over it and the
hasp or other fastener on the free end of the cord attached to the ring on the
opposite side of the box, thus the cord when in this position is so fixed that it can
be used as a handle for carrying, or for the purpose of suspending the same, also
the lid cannot be opened until such suspender is removed or released.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Suspender for Light Boxes or Cases and other similar
articles.
We, CHARLES BATTY, of Howarth Terrace, and HENRY CLAPHAM BROOKE,
of Tanfield Terrace, both of Leeds in the County of York, Box Makers and Shop
Fitters, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
The object of our invention is to provide a means whereby light boxes or cases
and other similar articles can be held closed and suspended, such suspender providing
an easy means for carrying the same, at the same time the suspender may be
readily released for the purpose of opening the box, and the operation of opening
the box cannot be effected without unfastening auch suspender.
According to our invention, we secure two rings by means of brackets to opposite
sides of the box, such rings being attached to the box in any suitable way; and to
one of these rings we attach a cord or string. On the free end of the cord we
attach a hasp or other fastener suitable for connecting to the opposite ring.
In order that our invention may be more clearly understood and more readily
carried its effect, we will proceed to descri besame with reference to the accom-
panying drawings in which similar letters refer to like parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 shows a box A with its lid B, having our invention applied thereto;
Figure 2 shows one side of part of box with its ring C, having the cord D
attached thereto;
Figure 3 shows the other side of box with its ring E, fastener F, and cord D
attached thereto.

page_text: Figure 4 is a cross section of part of box, showing fastener F attached to its
ring E, and cord D holding down the lid B upon the box A.
Figures 5 and 6 show detail views of the brackets G by which the rings C
and E are attached to the sides of the box A, and
Figures 7, 8 and 9 show detail views of brackets G attached to the box A by
tubular rivets H.
On the lid B being put on the box A and closed, the cord D is passed over, and
the hasp or other fastening F on the free end of the cord D is attached to the
ring E on the opposite side of the box A, thus the cord D when in this position is
so fixed that it can be used as a handle for carrying, or for the purpose of
suspending the same, whilst at the same time the lid cannot be opened until such
suspender is removed or released.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In suspenders for light boxes or cases and other similar_articles the com-
bination with box A and lid B, of the ring C, cord D, ring E, and fastener F,
substantially as described.
2. The arrangement, construction, and combination of the various parts forming
the suspender for light boxes or cases, and other similar articles, all substantially
as herein set forth and shown in the accompanying drawings.
