-To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that 1, JOHN G. BAUER, a citi- I zen of the United States of America, residing at Varsaw, inthe county of Wyomingand State of New York, have invented certion of the box.

tain new and useful Improvements in Processesfor Forming Boxes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to tobacco boxes and has for its principal object the production of a simple and eflicient. tobacco box -which is formed entirely of paper, thereby greatly cheapening the construction and,

manufacture ofthe device.

Another object ofthis invention is the production of a simple and efficient process for forming or manufacturing the box.

\Vitli these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed. In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tobacco box, in its complete condition.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section therethrough,

' showing the manner of hinging the top and forming the several layers of the box.-

Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the upper por- Fig. l is a side elevation of the upper portion of the box, showing the cover in an open position.

Fig. '5 is a vertical section through the box, taken at right angles to that shown in- Fig. 2.

. Fig. 6 isadeta'il perspective of a portion of the box, showing the strips in their initial wrapping.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of another form of'box produced by the same process,

as-that used in connection with making the tobacco box.

Fig. 8 is a detail perspective of the razor box in its initial form of making.

Fig. 9 is a transverse sectional view taken through one end of the razorfibox, prior to the saine being wrapped.

Fig. 10-is a longitudinal-section through I the razor boxinits completed condition.

Fig. 11 is a detail perspective of one of the end'strips used upon-the razor box.

Fig. 12 is-a detail perspective ofone end of the tobacco box showing the same in its initial wrapping, prior to the wrapper being entirely wound around the same.

By referring to the accompanying drawings, by numerals, it will be seen that 1 designates the body of the box, which is provided with a hinged cover 2,'at the upper end thereof. In forming the box, a suitable filling 'or other solid medium is placed within the interior of the box to form a core,

and a stiff layer of card-board 3 is wrapped the box, and the end strips 4. are then placed so as to abut against the ends of the core. A

fixed to the core, and is then wound for one convolution around the box, whereupon adheslve strips 6 are wound over or glued to the end strips having their ends 7 overhanging the wrapper strlp, to constitute an eflicient seal forthe respective ends of the box; A

around the core, to form the block filler, for

7 suitable sheet of wrapping paper is glued or wrapper sheet is then coiled around the core, 1

and is finally sealed along its edge to produce an eflicient wrapper for the box. Each end of the box, is of course sealed ina similar manner. The wrapper is then out along the line indicated by the numeral 8, for the purpose of forming the lid, to be readily removed from the box, and it should be understood that only the wrapper is cut and not I the inner core, which is formed of stiflf cardboard or other suitable material. The cover, of course, may then be easily removed from the upper end of the core and the upper end ofthe core projects to formed the retaining flange 9, as shown clearly in Fig. 4 of the drawings. The entire box may then be covis indicated by the numeral 10 in Fig. 2 and the hinged strip -11 is employed for hingedly securing the covering 2 upon the body of the box. A rear hinge retaining strip 12 is secured to the rear ends of the 'ered with suitable paper covering, such as box, and extends throughout the. entire 8 a core 13' is employed and a winding strip of paper 14 is wound around the core and suitable end plates 15 which carry adhesive strips 16 have their ends 17 overhanging the outer wrapper 18. The outer wrapper is then wound around the core and is sealed along its outer end. The entire body is then covered by a suitable covering sheet 19 of any suitable or desired'size. It should'be understood that the core 13 is entirely independent of the core block 20, which may be inserted within the box to make. the same more rigid while the box is being manufactured.

It should be understood that the steps in the process of the box is as follows: First' place the core block within a core strip and form the core strip of suitable shape, then start the wrapper sheet around the core strip, then place the end strips over the ends of thecore and secure the end strips by means of adhesive material to the wrapper strip, then wrap the entire wrapper strip around the core strip, and seal the edge thereof, then cut or trim the wrapper strip .around the entire body, until the entire strip and this outer strip 12 extends through. the entire length of the box.

lVhat is claimed is I 1. A process for manufacturing paper boxes, comprising the placing of a core strip around a suitable core, then starting a wrapper strip around the core, then placing tw end strips upon the core, then se'alingthese end strips to the wrapper sheet by means of adhesive sealing tape, then tightly winding said wrapper strip around said core str1p and sealing the edge thereof, then'cutting the wrapper at a predetermined point down to the core strip and then covering the entire outer ends of the wrapper with a cov-' ering sheet.

2. A process for manufacturing paper boxes, comprising the placing of a core strip around a suitable core, then starting a wrapper strip around the core, then placing two end strips upon the core, then sealing these end strips to the wrapper sheet by means of adhesive sealing tape, then tightly winding said wrapper strip around said core strip and sealing the edge thereof, then cutting the wrapper at a predetermined point down to the core strip and then coverlng the entire outer ends of the wrapper with a covering sheet, then placing a hinged strip upon the rear of saidbox, for hingedly securing placing the cover strip over said hinged strip throughoutthe entire length of said body In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature. a
