This invention relates to iinprovements in fibre board, eliminates the above dificulties file cases and has particular reference to. a by dispensing with the use of tape. It is collapsible type of case employing a sliding made from a single blanlr of material which, drawer. as shown in the drawings, comprises general- An object of the invention is to provide an ly two coacting sections. One of said secimproved outer casing of simple and practical tions includes the top 1 having the two side construction adapted to receive a sliding flanges 2 and 3. The closed end of the casdrawcr and being made from a single blank: ing is formed by. the back t which is engaged of material creased and folded in such manby the flaps 5 and 6 so as to be reinforced her that the use of tape or other securing thereby when the casing is setup. The other means for retaining the section in a set up section of the casing includes the bottom 7 position is entirely eliminated, provided with the side flanges 8 and 9 which The inventive idea involved is capable of carry the flaps 5 and 6 at their rear ends, receivingavariety of mechanical expressions, and is further provided with the extension is one-of which for the purposes of illustration 10 foldable upon the same for reinforcing is shown in the accompanying drawings purposes. At the front ends of said flanges where1n:- 8 and 9 the same have tongues or extensions Figure 1 is a perspective view of the casing 11 and 12 of a length substantially equal in its set up position. vto the flanges and foldable inwardly toward Figure 2 is a similar view showing a casing the same in substantially parallel relation partly set up, and thereto, as shown in Figure 2, for the pur- Figure3is asimilar view of the blank from pose of forming slots on opposite sides of which the casing is formed. the casing to receive the adjacent flanges The casing of the present invention is es 2 and 3 when the casing is in its set up cones pecially adapted for use with file cases which dition.

are designed to replace the more expensive It will thus be apparent from the foregotype of metal cabinets used for the urpose ing description that ,there is provided a casof containing documents or records 1 hr storing which may be easily set up without the age. Such cases as the present one are usuuse of tape, and in which the sides thereof so ally made of corrugated fibre board and are are adequately reinforced by three plies of customarily stacked one upon the other for the material of which the blank is formed the purpose of economy in space. Therefore thereby imparting suflicient strength to the the casings, must, of necessity, have the recasing to enable it to withstand the stresse: quired strength and rigidity, particularly to which it may be subjected. The casing 0'. 85 along the side walls thereof, to withStandL the present invention is suitable for use ii the weight of other filing cases placed therenj ti i any d i type f i on. Casings of the present type have hered r h b t d i th tofore been constructed of a single blank of gai gig g z gsg e mser e m o fibre board which is creased and folded to What is 40 bring the ends of the blank together along a L A 6 011a PS-11018 casing for use with meetmg edge over which a Stnp of tape 13 cases said casin havin an 0 en end an then secured by an adhe sfiye to hold the llank formed {mm single gblank materi in its set up position. is ta ing pro uces an inherent weakness in the casing along said g i 9 2 8 g bOttom meeting edge and it has also been found that er Sm 9 tom mung tongues e climatic conditions very often affect the adhef g ttmrefmm t p end 5a sive employed in the taping operation to c smg, said tongues being foldable inwar such an extent that the tape becomes loosened, 1y upon said flanges and being of suficie thus destroying the efiectiveness of the casing, length to combine therewith to form ion;

to The present case, which may be made of tudinally elongated slots therebetween, a

a top for said casing having depending flanges insertable into said slots.

2. A collapsible casing for use with file casing having an open end and rom -,a single blank of material creased and folded to provide a bottom, side anges for'said bottom having tongues extending therefrom at the casing, said tongues sertable into said slots, and an extension formed at one end of said bottom and foldable to superimposed relation upon the same.

3. A collapsible casing for use With file cases, said casing formed from a single blank of material creased and folded to provide a having said back, said tongues being of substantialhe same length of said flanges and foldb and tongues combining to form slots therebetween, and a top for said casing having depending flanges insertable into said slots. 4. A collapsible casing for use with file cases, comprising coacting sections forming tongues are I said casing having flanges insertable into said slots.
