Application filed October 7, 1912. Serial No. 724,42?
1' b alive/10m it may concern Be it known that I, PAUL COMPTON, acitizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of St. Louis, in the State of lilissouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dummy Containers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact. description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to a large dummy container oi? the. kind commonly displayed in store windows to advertise merchandise sold in similar small containers of the same shape and appearance. Advertising dummy containers of this kind are usually made of paper, and of much greater size than the real containers, to attract the notice of the public.
The principal object of my present invention is the production oi dummy container of the kind referred to made in simulation of a container of IJ'QItIllBl-LPlPQdOll form comprising body having flat front and back walls and rounded side Walls. Containers of this kind used for inclosing merchandise, such, for instance, as tobacco and cigarettes, are usually made of paper, and the shape of the package-is readily secured, due to the closure of the package involving only the inclosure of the merchandise within a wrapper made of thin paper and the folding of the ends of such wrapper is readily accomplished in a manner to produce a. package of the shape acquired. Dummy containers, when made of paper, are necessarily produced from paper board to afford necessary stability and, owing to the absence of contents within the dummy containers and the stiffness of the paper board, such dummy containers cannot be produced as ac curate similes of the real'containers'without ingenuity in their construction. By my improvement I make the shape of a paper dummy container that very closely approximates a real container of the particular kind I have referred to.
Figure I is a perspective view of my dummy container, with its flaps shown partly in open positions and partly in closed positions. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of 'one end ofmy dummy container, with the side end flaps closed over the rear end flaps, and the front end flaps unfolded.
My dummy container is produced from a Sing 0 sheet A, of heavy paper .or paper" board, such sheet being provided adjacent the inner one of the longitudinal edges of the portion that is to form the body walls of the container with longitudinal inner slits 1, and at its other outer longitudinal edge with tongues 2, that are adapted to be inserted through the inner slits 1.
Between the inner slits l and the outer longitudinal edge of the sheet A near which the inner slits l are formed, are other longitudinal outer slits 3, parallel with the first named inner slits, through which the tongues 2 are passed in an outward direction after they have been inserted through the inner slits 1 in an inner direction. The tongues are, therefore, so threaded through the'adi joining slits as to occupy positions between the overlapping marginal longitudinal edge portions of the sheet A as to lock such edge portions together.
The front wall of the body of the container is supplied at its ends with tapered front clfisure flaps 4, which are of less width than the width of the said front Wall, and are provided at their ends with hook shaped tongues 5. The rear wall of thecontainer body, which is composed of the portions of the sheet A that overlap eachother at their edges, is supplied with tapered rear closure flap sections 6, each pair of which is of a combined width less than the width of the rear wall; and in the flap sections 6, adjacent their junction with the rear Wall, are
The ends of the side closure flaps 8 and 10 are foldably joined to the side walls of the dummy container and are rounded at their inner ends, as seen at 12; and said side closure flaps are united to the side walls only throughout their central portions,
