SAMPLE MAILING PACKAGE.
APPLICATION FILED JULY 9119M Patented Jan. 23, 1917.
UNITE. TATE AIENT @FFIQE JOHN L. CABELL, 0F SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.
SA'MPLE-MAILING PACKAGE.
Application filed July 9, 1914.
Z '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN L. CABELL, a citizen of the United States, residing in Savannah, Georgia, have invented certain Improvements in Sample-Mailing Packages, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a box or package for the transportation by mail of cotton samples or like soft and yielding bodies, the object of my invention being to so construct such a package that while it will provide an opening of ample size forthe ready introduction or removal of the contents of the package it will effectually resist crushing pressure exerted upon it, can be readily opened for inspection of the contents and as readily closed after such inspection, and will possess the essential quality of cheapness.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved sample mailing box, showing the same open; Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the box closed; Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section of the box, and Fig. at is a transverse section of the same.
The body of the box is composed, by preference, of a multiply paper tube 1, closed at the ends by means of paper disks 2 which preferably project into the ends of the tube so as to provide an internal support therefor at each end. Said end disks :2 are held in place either by securing them to the tube or by means of a flexible securing ring 3 which overlaps both the body and end of the box, as shown in Fig. 3.
In the tube is formed an opening of a size sullicient for the ready introduction or removal of the contents. This opening, however, stops some distance short of each end of the tube, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the continuity of the tube, at each end ofthe Specification of Letters Eatent.

Serial no. 849,905.
same, is unbroken and the strength due to the tubular formation is fully preserved, with the result that the box effectually resists crushing strains exerted upon it, such resistance being aided by the support furnished by the ends 2.
The opening in the box is normally closed by means of a cover 4 hinged to the body of the box by any suitable means, as for instance by a tape hinge 5, and the cover when closed can be retained in the closed position by releasable fastenings of any appropriate kind, the fastening device shown in the pres ent instance consisting of a pair of tapes (5 secured to the body of the tube adjacent to one end of the opening therein, these tapes being tied together after one of them has been passed through an eyeletted opening 7 near the edge of the cover, as shown in Fi 2.
I claim:
A mailing package consisting of a tube having an opening in one side of the same but preserving its tubular form for a considerable distance at each end, circular disks bearing against the ends of the tube, retainers for said disks consisting of bands, surrounding the ends of the tube and extending inwardly beyond said ends so as to overlap said disks, a closing flap hinged to the tube at one edge of the opening therein, and extending beyond the opposite edge of said opening and also beyond the ends of the same, and releasable fastening means for the free edge of said flap.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOHN L. CABELL.
