To all whom it may concern: v i v.

Be it known that I, JOHN G. {CORAL/I, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lowell, inf-the county of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have in- I vented a certain "new and useful Improve- "mentin Receptacles Made of Paper and Similar Sheet Material, of which the foltacle in which the body is formed of a single strip of'sheet-material in su'ch a manner th t .the overlapping courses of the strip willmake the walls of at least double thickness and sufficiently stifi'. In. forming the 1 body ofthe receptacle or vessel in thisma-nner,'there is little or no able extent. adapted for many uses waste in the paper from which the vessel can be made, the

'paper comingfromrthe paper mill. in the form of a roll with parallel edges. While the body of the vessel is damp, fore the adhesive material used .to unite the courses of the strip is set a groove or crease may be formed on the insideof the body to receive the bottom.which is represented as circular. The vessel after being made will preferably be treated withacoating of waterproof liquid which may also benot fire-proof but fire resisting to a consider- While such receptacles are this invention is principally intended to supply cuspidors for mills and factories or other places where large numbers of a price so low that the cuspldor can be burned as cheaply as an ordinary cuspidor could be cleaned. v In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a plan of a receptacle suitable for a cuspidor constructed according to my invention; Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same,

Fig. 3, a central vertical section of a part of such a euspidor showing the construc-- tion; Fig.4, similar to 3, but showing a slight modification to support a cover.-

The body A of the vessel is of the shape" of the frustum of an inverted cone and is 5 formed from a strip 0 having parallel edges a, Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed a s 24, 1913." Serial mm-3,145.

After forming the first one or more annular courses, the strip is wound conically and spirally in such a manner that each course overlaps the preceding course, preferably, about half thewidth of the'strip, until a sufficient depth of body is" secured and the last whichistrip .first wound at theb ottom Patented same is, was.

It will be understood that suitable adhesive material will be applied to the overlapping parts of i the strip before or during the winding of the strip and that the edges of the bottom B on the underside are also covered with adhesive material before the bottom is placed upon the top of the first one or more parallel courses. .Ordinarily the adhesive material will be sufficient to retain the bot-f 'tom in place but for greater security the body may be creased ,on the inside at the top of the parallel course before the body,
