Application filed June 14, 1920. Serial No. 388,735

To all whom it may] concern Be it known that I, J 01m HAsBURG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Paint-Packages, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and' exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it' pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object to produce a cheap, simple and novel package for inclosing a mastic product, such as gold paint, deposited upon a palette of glass, which will permit the employment of a simple carton while affording adequate protection to the packaged product against dust or other foreignmatter and against disturbance on the palette, and which will permit' the package to be made with a minimum expenditure of labor and the contents to'be placed in and taken out of the package without danger of disturbing the product on its palette.

In carrying out my invention I place overthe covered palette a follower having a part extending from one edge. underneath the. palette and to and beyondthe opposite edge, so as to form a composite body of parts which, when grasped at o1'1eedge,will have its parts firmly held together against accidental displacement.and be placed in or removed from' a carton without danger of injuring the productwhich-it isthe purpose of the package to protect. This principle of temporarily uniting a plurality of overlying elements, while especially useful in the particular artto which I have heretofore referred, may also .be employed for other purposes and therefore, viewed inone of its aspects, my invention may be said to have for its object to produce a'simple andnovel grouping of individual elements so as to permit them to be handled withoutdanger of accidental relative displacement in forming or undoing a package.

The various features of novelty" whereby my invention isjcharacterized-will hereinafter be pointed out with particularity in the claims; but, for a fullunderstanding of my invention and of its objects and advantages, reference may be had to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:

palette which is preferably in l lgure l is a top plan view of a palette carrying a quantity of gold paint in the, torm oi a thin wafer, with its cover and follower, ready to be placed in acarton;

Fig. 2 1s a section on line 2-2 01": Fig. l; and l v a 1 Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the completed package, including the carton,

Referring to thedrawing, 1 represents a t rmp a. j Upon'thispaletteisa thin disk or wafer of paint smaller in diameter than the width or length the palette. Above the palette is a hover, pref: erably in the form a sheet of celluloid restmg at its marginal portions, as indicated at 3, on the palette outsideofg the periphery of the paint disk and dished up,- wardly, as indicated at at, above the paint. Above the cover is a follower, substantially the same size as the palette, this member comprising a fiat portion, 5, adapted tolrest on the flat marginal portion, 3, of the cover, and having a central ()penin 6,, large enough to permit the dished central portion of the cover to project through the same. At the edges of the follower are upwardly-projecting flanges, 7. The follower may be made out of any suitable material, being preferably a sheet of cardboard cut to the proper shape andscoredjsoas to permit the flanges to be bent up therefrom. To one side or end of the follower is attached a tongue, 8, of flexible.,material, preferably thin tough paper; this tongue being ex tended long enough to extend across the bottom of the palette and project a considerable distance beyond the side or edge, opposite to the point attachment of the tongue.,, When a package is tojbe made, tlielloaded palette, cover and follower are assembled one on the'other' as illustrated in Figs l and 2 and then, by grasping the projecting end of the tongue and the adjacent portion, of the follower between the thumb and finger, the three independent elements are temporarily tied together so that they will not accidentally become displaced relatively to each other and thuscau' sei the paint to be disturbed. Vlhile holding the assembled palette, cover and follower ill the manner just described, they are inserted into' the openjen'd of a flat carton, 9, made just large enough to receive them andjhavingf a j depth such thatthe upper edges of theflanges, 7', on the follower will engage with the top square plate'of glass.

wall of the carton and cause the follower to press the marginal portions of the cover tightly against the palette. The open end of the carton is preferably provided with a flap, 10, long enough to extend across the open end and permit a portion thereof to project-into the carton in contact with the under side of the top wall of the latter. When the contents of the carton are placed in the same, the tongue, 8, projects out of the open end or the carton so that, when the closing flap is folded inwardly, the tongue is bent or folded upwardly against the adjacent flange of the follower, Then, when the carton is opened, the projecting end of the tongue is exposed and may be grasped for the purpose of pulling out the contents of the carton. After the contents have been partially withdrawn from the carton, the tongue and the overlying portion of the follower are grasped between the thumb and the finger so as to hold the palette, cover and the follower tied. together until it is desired to release them. I

If desired, the tongue may be made long enough so that it may be bent or folded over the inwardly-extending section of the closing flap of the carton and thence to the exterior of the carton, as indicated in F 8, between the closing flap and the top wall or" the carton. The carton may be opened by grasping the projecting end of the tongue and pulling on it; the result being first the pulling out of the closing flap and then, it the pull is continued, the withdrawal or partial withdrawal of the contents.

lVhile I have illustrated and described with particularity only a single preferred follower resting on the marginal portions of said cover, and a tongue extending from one edge of said follower underneath the palette. V V

4. Apackagecomprising a plate, a cover overlying the plate, a follower overlying the cover, a part extending from one edge of the follower underneath the plate to the oppobeyond the opposite edge; a carton surrounding said plate, cover and follower and having an open end at the last mentioned edge; and a closure for the open end of the carton.

6. A package comprising a plate, a member overlying the plate and having a part extending from one edge underneath the plate to the opposite edge; a carton surrounding said plate and said member and having an open end at the last mentioned edge; and a closure for the open end of said carton.

7. A package comprising a plate, a member overlying the plate and having a flexible part' extending from one ,edge underneath the plate to and beyond the opposite edge; a carton surrounding said plate and said member and having an open end at the last mentioned edge; said carton having at said open end a'closing flap folded inwardly and holding the projecting end of said part bent upwardly.

8. A package comprising a plate, a mem- )Gl overlying the plate and having a flexible part extending from one edge underneath the plate to and beyond the opposite edge; a carton surrounding said plate and said member and having an open end at thelast mentioned edge; said carton having at said open end a closing flap folded upwardly and inwardly; and the projecting end of the aforesaid part being folded overthe free edge of said flap and outwardly so as to project from the carton and permit the flap to be pulled out thereby and the plate and the said overlying member to be pulled out of? the carton. a

9. A package comprising a palette, a dished cover overlying the palette and resting thereon at its marginal portions, a follower resting on said marginal portions of the cover and having an opening through which the dished portion of the cover pro- 'ects, upwardly-projecting flanges on said follower, a tongue extending from one edge of the follower underneath the palette to and beyond the opposite edge; a carton surrounding the palette, cover and follower and having an open end at said edge; and a closure for the open end of said carton.

In-testimony whereof, I sign this specification.
