496,871. Packages; wrappers. MARATHON PAPER MILLS CO., and BURGESS, A. F. March 3, 1937, No. 6321. Addition to 481,426, [Group V]. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Sept. 20, 1937.] [Classes 94 (i) and 94 (ii)] Cheese is packed by enclosure in sheet material having a flexible, thermoplastic and pressure sealable film or coating of a homogeneous wax-rubber composition according to the parent Specification the film being adjacent to the cheese. The sheet material may be paper or a cellulosic film. In order to form a package, a blank 3, Fig. 5, is placed in a box A with the coating inwards. End pieces 25, formed by folding a blank on the lines 28, 29, 30, Fig. 3, are placed inside the body sheet 3, the molten cheese is poured in at a temperature of 150-165‹ F., and the upstanding flaps are folded down to form a completely sealed package. The box is closed and inverted so that any air in the package will work its way to the bottom of the package. The end caps may be placed outside the body sheet, and may be slit to render the folds 30 unnecessary. In another form, the end pieces are integral with the body sheet, being joined along one end of a panel. Specification 496,870 is referred to. The Specification, as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also a reference to the use of various kinds of rubber, gutta percha, and their natural or synthetic equivalents in making the composition. The paraffin wax may be replaced by beeswax, spermaceti, candelilla, carnauba and the like. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
