Abstract
Abstract Means for mounting a hinge leaf on a container component, for example, the base or lid section of a box. The means includes a hinge receiving element, one end or section of which is adapted for direct attachment to the hinge. The other end or section of the hinge receiving element includes a tongue member which cooperates with the said other end or section to slidably receive and hold therebetween a mounting member which is included as a part of the container component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
Means for mounting a hinge on a container component comprising: a planar mounting member forming an integral part of said container component, and a hinge receiving element having a tongue member spaced laterally from one section thereof and having another section thereof adapted to receive the hinge in direct attachment thereto, said mounting member being cut away to permit slidable insertion of said mounting member into a retained position between the said one section and the said tongue member of said hinge receiving element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
Means for mounting a hinge on a container component comprising: a planar mounting member forming an integral part of said container component, and a hinge receiving element having a tongue member spaced laterally from one section thereof and having another section thereof adapted to receive the hinge in direct attachment thereto, said mounting member being cut away to permit slidable insertion of said mounting member into a retained position between the said one section and the said tongue member of said hinge receiving element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The means as claimed in claim 1 further characterized by the said one section of said hinge receiving element being disposed at an angle relative to the said other section of said hinge receiving element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
The means as claimed in claim 2 wherein said container component includes a planar surface with wall members extending vertically from the edges thereof, and wherein said planar mounting member is suitably dimensioned to be received within the confines of said wall members and against said planar surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The means as claimed in claim 3 wherein said planar mounting means is retained against said planar surface by the cooPerative frictional engagement of said wall members with the edges of said planar mounting member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
The means as claimed in claim 2 wherein said planar mounting member is provided with wall members extending vertically from the edges thereof, the wall member adjacent to the cut away portion of said mounting member also being cut away to accommodate slidable insertion of said mounting member between the said one section and the said tongue member of said hinge receiving element.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The means as claimed in claim 5 further characterized by a wrapping material applied to the exterior surfaces of said mounting member, said wall members and said hinge receiving element.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
51 words
The means as claimed in claim 1 wherein said container component includes a planar surface with wall members extending vertically from the edges thereof, and means for fixing said mounting member in relation to one of said wall members with said hinge receiving element held against the said one wall member.
