Original application filed. August 24, 1906, Serial No. 331,850. Divided and this application filed June 8,

To all wlom it mag concern Be it known that I, CI-IAnLns S. BA'roonr, a citizen of the United States, residing at. Brooklyn, Kings county, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Coin-Package \Vrappers, oi? which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to coin package wrappers and is particularly concerned with a construction of wrapper or cover which is described in my co pending application Se ral No. 331,850, filed August Q-tth, 1906, for a coin handling machine, of which application this application is a division.

The obj ect of the invention is to provide a Wrapper which may be conveniently laid about a stack of coins or other like articles, and the side edges of the wrapper secured over, or, as indicated in the application above referred to, may be crimped upon the ends of the stack so that the articles at the ends of the stack will be exposed to view.

A further Object is to so construct the wrapper that in molding or rolling the same about the stack the opposite ends ojt the w 'apper strip about the stack will be drawn tightly longitudinally of the stack by reason of the crimping operation, so that 'the rear end of the wrapper strip or that last laid upon the stack will not bulge at the longitudinal center of the stack.

With these objects in view, the invention consists in the construction of a wrapper, the preferred embodinent ott which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view of a wrapper embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section view of so much of the coin wrapping machine illustratcd in my copending application above referred to as is necessary to illustrate the construction and arrangement, in a coin wrapping machine, of the knifc for cutting this wrapper. Fig. 3 is a front view of the parts shown in Fig. 2, showing the outline of the knife edge :for cutting this wrapper. Fig. 4 is a view of the completed package showing the spiral arrangement of the diagonal end when the Wrapper is laid about the package.

Referring to Fig. 1, 1 indicates the wrapper strip, having substantially parallel side edges 2-2 having the ends 3-3 likewise Serial No. 631,888.

parallel and cut: diagonally with respect to the side edges or on the bias. Iy this construction, the end of the wrapper which first engagcs the stack presents a nore or less pointed portion t to the wrapping rolls 5 of the niachine, as described in my co-pending application Serial No. 331,850 above referred to, which seize said pointed end and carry the same about the stack of articles to be wrapped. In so doing, the wrappcr is held between the stack of ooins and the wrapping rolls, \vhereby the latter exert more or less of a pull not only along the side edges Q Q, but along the line of the diagonal end 3, whereby said end is drawn tightly against the stack and is held against bulging at the lo'git'dinal center ot the wrapper.

The pull exertcd upon the wrapper strip by the wrapping rolls, as describud, draws the wrapper strip over the diagonal edge (3 of the depcnding kni'tie 7 o't the nachino and causes said diagonal edge to sevor the strip along the diagonal line 3 of the wrapper (Fig. 1).

The machine of the application referred to is provided with crinping tingers 8, which operate, as therein describod, to tnrn the ends of the wrappcr over the end 'Faces ot the coins, as indicated at D (Fig. t). By thus crinping or procuring the ends ot the wrappor over the faces o't' the coins at the ends of the package, the rcar diagonal end 3 is drawn tightly and snugly against the package so that it will not bulge at the longitudinal center ot the stack, and this rear edge lies in a spiral line 10 around the package Fig. t).

The roll 11, from which the wrappers are cut, may be held in a suitablc trouglrlike support 12, and is fed between 'feed rolls 13 over the knite, all as described in ny co-pending application above referred to. The wrapping rolls 5 are nounted in adjustable arms l l and the knite may be mounted upon an adjustable sha'tt 15. The crimping fingors may be carried by adjustable blocks 16, actuatod by can wleel 17 acting on the crimper arns 18.

All of the parts of the machine herein described are and may be ol. the construction illustratcd in my co-pending application, and, as therein described, may be provided with means for adjusting them to handle coins of different diameter and of diflerent thickness as well as to handle stacks of coins of different lengths containing difierent numbers of coins of the same denomination or the same number of coins of different denominations.

While the wrapper above described is intended primarily to be used in conjunction with a inachine Such, as that described in my co-pending application above referred to, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to such use, but that the wrapper is to be used in any relation in which it can be successfully and practically manipulated.

\Vhen used with the machine, it is found in practice to be desirable to make the wrappers for the different denominations of coin of such lengths respectively that when each is rolled about a stack of coins of the size for which it is intended, the length of the wrapper shall be such that the diagonal ends shall not overlap. That is to say, the spiral line around the package tormed by the enter diagonal edge shall lie coincident with the spiral line of the inner edge around the coins. This is preferable, for the reason that it the ends do overlap, the wrapper will present more thicknesses of material around the package at one side than the other, which sometimes results in the bending or breaking of the crinper fingers which crmp in the edges of the wrapper over the tao-es of the coins at the ends of the package. The adjustment of the knife for rorming diierent lengths of wrappers, therefore, is determined accurately by the diameter of the package and the number of laycrs of the wrapper thereon. In practice, lt have found that two complete turns of the wrapper material about the coins is sutlicient to form a secure and durable package.

What I claim is:

1. A wrapper having its opposite ends cut on substantially parallel lines diagonally of the length of the wrapper, whereby when boidal shaped piece of paper rolled into atube, the roll beginning with one acute angle and ending with the other, all the planes passing through the flXlS of the tubes being perpendicular to two edges of the paper.

3. A coin wrapper formed from a rhomboidal shaped piece of paper rolled into a tubeand crimped at its ends, the tube beingso rolled that the ends of the tube will be in parallel planes before it is crimped.

4. ln a coin package, a Wrapper compris:

ing a strip tormed from a web of paper having parallel sides by severance along chagonal parallel lines thereby to form a wrapper with strai 'ht arallel sides and arallel, n O

ends, each of said ends being at different angles relatvely to such parallel stra'ght sides, the severed edges of the wrapp'er.

turned inward over the t'aces of the co'in to T lock the wrapper thereon. p

5. In a coin package a wrapper comprising a strip having parallelstraight sides and parallel ends, said ends being at an obtuse angle to one side and an acute angle to V the other, the parallel straight edges of the strip being turned inward or crinped to lock the wrapper over the taces of the coin.

6. A -coin package wrapper having parallel side edges and parallel end edges, said end edges being arranged dagonally of the length of the wrapper or on the bias, and the length of the -wrapper being such that when coled about a stack of COlDS said endedges will follow substantially coincident spiral lines about the coin stack.
