IMPROVEMENT IN NEEDLE-WRAPPERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Pat'ant and making part of the sama To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, VICTOR MILWARD, of Ipsley, in the county of Warwick, England, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, have invented or discovered' an Improvement in Needle-Wrappers; and I, the said VICTOR MILWARD, do hereby declare the nature' of the said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly. described and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say- -My invention consists of the improvement hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in wrappers for papering needles.

In making a needle-wrapper according to my in` vention, I take a needle-paper or wrapper ef the ordinary kind, and I take a second piece of needle-paper, of a length somewhat less than the needles to bepapered, and of' a-breadth somewhat greater than the packet of needles to be made.

The smaller paper may be rectangular, but I prefer tocnt off its corners. lhc said smaller piece of paper is placed upon the ordinary needle-wrapper at a short. distance from its middle, and three of the sides of the smaller piece ofpaper are attached te the needle-wrapper, by gum or other adhesive matter. There is thus formed@I pocket to the wrapper, at the open end of which pocket the needles may be introduced, either-loose or stuck into cloth or fabric.

Before combining the two papers they are creased in the ordinary way. The wrapper, when folded, resembles an ordinary wrapper.'

Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents the `ordinary needle-paper or wrapper which I use, and

Figure 2 represents the second or smaller piece of paper which I use to' form the pocket to the wrapper.

Figure 3v represents the smaller piece of paper, fig. 2, attached to the ordinary paper or wrapper, iig. 1, and

Figure 4 represents a section of the same. Figure 5 represents the wrapper folded up. The ordinary needle-paper or wrapper is marked a,

and the smaller piece of paper is marked b, in the drawing.

The said smaller piece of paper bis placed upon the paper a, in the position represented in figs.. 3 and 4, and the three sides b,2 of the paper b are attached to the said paper a by gum or other adhesive matter.

By the attaching of the smaller piece of paper b to the wrapper or paper a, a pocket, marked c, is made to the wrapper, the end c2 of which is open.

The needles to y be held in the pocket-care introduced into the said pocket at the open end o2.

The needles may either be stuckupon cloth or fabric d, as represented in g. 4,' before being introduced into the pocket c, or the needles maybe introduced into the pocket c in a loose state. Y

The needle-paper or wrapper a is creased with the ordinary longitudinal and transverse creases, and the end and sides of the paperb, from which the pocket is made, are also creased, as illustratedin the drawing, before they are connected together.

After-the needles have been introduced into the pocket c, the paper a and the sides b2 of the pocket c are first folded at the longitudinal creases, and the papers a and?) are afterward folded at the transverse creases, and the ends ofthe wrapper engaged or tucked together, as illustrated in fig. 5, when the papering of the needles is complete, the wrapper, when folded, resembling an ordinaryneedle-wrapper.

, Having' now described the nature of lmy invention, and the manner in which the same is'to be performed, I wish it to be understood that The improvement in wrappers for-papering needles hereinbefore described and illustrated in the acco1n-. panying drawing, that is to say, combining with an ordinary needle-paper or wrapper a second and smaller piece of paper, attached by three of its sides to the said needle-paper or wrapper, as described and illustrated, so as to form a pocket for the reception of the needles, as set forth. VICTOR MILWARD. n. s.]
