PAPER-PACKAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 7, 1914.
To all whom. it only concern:
Be it known that I, SETH WHEELER, of Albany, in the county of Albany, and in the State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Paperlackagcs, and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to a paper package, by which sheets of paper may be delivered singly, and especially so delivered from a receptacle preventing access to the package as awhole, but only permitting the user to obtain one sheet at a time, such, for instance, as for the purpose of delivering paper towels or toilet paper. And the object of my invention has been to produce a package which shall have, among others, the following advantages: that it shall be of small lateral dimensions, at least in one direction; that it shall present to the user a double thickness of paper, if desired; that it shall be capable of presenting a folded edge for the customer to engage. That while possess ing any or all of the foregoing advantages, it can be made of twice-folded sheets of paper and yet maintain the height of the packa e at one end thereof uniform with the height at the other end thereof. And to such ends my invention consists in the paper package hereinafter specified.
While my invention is capable of use for various purposes, I shall describe it as applied to paper towels, and shall describe it by the best embodiment known to me, but such embodiment is to be taken as typical only of many possible embodiments, and my invent-ion is not to be confined to the form or use described.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of a sheet adapted to be folded to make one of the elements of my package; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of such sheet folded; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a package made up of such sheets; Fig. 4 is a plan view of a cabinet adapted to contain my package; and Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of Fig. 4:.
I have illustrated a metal casing adapted to contain one of my packages of paper, and having a door that can be locked to prevent unauthorized access to the package. It is desired to have an edge of the lower sheet of paper of the package always hanging through a slot in the bottom of the receptacle so that the user may obtain the sheets, one at a time, by pulling said edge downward.
My paper towels, as shown in Fig. 1, consist of a unit or sheet of suitable absorbent paper 1, having a preferably central transverse fold 2, and a preferably central longitudinal fold 3. This particular form of unit or sheet when folded, as shown in Fig. 2, consists of a double upper leaf 4, and a double lower leaf 5, said leaves having free or out edges 6 at one end, and a folded double edge 2 at the other end. As shown in Fig. 3, the said units or sheets are interlocked together, the free edge 7 of the lower leaf of the upper towel 8 being received between the two leaves of the next lower towel 9, the free upper leaf of the second lower towel 10 also being received between the two leaves of the towel 9', and so on down through the stack. Thus each unit or sheet receives between its upper and lower leaves a leaf of each of the two adjacent units. ll also preferably arrange the towels so that the doubled edges 2v lie alternately in opposite directions, that is, if the double edges 2 of the top towel lie at one end of the package, the corresponding edge of the next towel lies at the opposite end of the package, and so on. As the doubled or folded edge is always thicker than the free edges of the paper, this alternate arrangement of the doubled edges causes the package to remain of uniform thickness at each end. Without this feature the stack or package would be much thicker at one end than at the other.
In using my package, it is inserted in the case 12 resting on the bottom thereof. The said bottom has a slot 13 formed therein, the walls 14: and 15 of the bottom extending to the said slot, preferably slanting downward. When the package is put in the case, the lowermost leaf of the package is put through the slot and hangs where the user may reach it. l/Vhen he wishes a towel, he pulls downward on the exposed unit, drawing the lowermost towel through the slot and carrying with it the lowermost leaf of the next towel. Thus, while only one towel is accessible at a time, the removal of that towel exposes the lowermost leaf of the succeeding towel so that there is always one towel accessible.
My package has, among others, the fol-- lowing advantages: It permits the sale of comparatively large sheets of paper towels from a' receptacle of comparatively small apart and become separated if they acci-- lateral dimensions. Instead of delivering two separate sheets of paper, as has heretofore been done with certain toilet paper packages, my package can deliver the same amount of paper in 'one sheet folded the size of each of the two single sheets, thereb securing the advantage that they cannot fa l dentally fall to the fl0oran' objection which exists with the two separate sheets. The package presents a double thickness for the wet hand to take hold of, thus reducing the danger .of tearing in withdrawing a working.
I claim:
The combination with a receptacle having means for supporting a aper ackage and havin a slot centrally ocated in its bottom, e upper surface of the bottom being inclined downwardly toward said slot on each side thereof, of a package of paper comprising sheets folded both longitudinally and transversely, said sheets being interleaved and the transverse folds of the sheets being disposed. alternately in opposite directions. I 4
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand.
, SETH WHEELER.
