WAG FASTENER.
a lication filed amber 5, 1921.
To all whom it may concern:
c it known that I, Monms B. VVEINsTEIN, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Steubenville, county of Jefferson, State of Uhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
Thiscinvention relates to bag fasteners, and it has for its primary object to provide a paper bag of the general character commonly employed by grocers and other merchants, such bag being provided with a. permanently attached device by means of which its mouth may be effectually closed without the use of twine, cord, or the like.
A further object is to produce a bag fastener which provides for the rolling or coiling of the unfilled mouth portion of the bag into a flat form whereby 18 presented a neat appearing package of approximately square form and devoid of projecting ends, ribs, or seams.
A further object within the contemplation of the invention is to provide a tape structure from which fasteners of the character referred to may be cut for application to bags, said tape lending itself to ready handling in a machine whereby the fasteners so cut may be automatically fed to position and applied in the course of manufacture of the a With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in the features of construction and arrangement of parts which will hereinafter be described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the upper end portion of a bag equipped with the invention;
Figure 2 is a section on line 22, Fig 1;
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the bag in its closed condition following filling thereof; and
Figure 4 is an elevation of a length of tape from which the fasteners are cut.
eferring to said drawings, 1 indicates a wire or other slender strip of pliable metal which is encased within a sheath 2 formed of opposing thicknesses 2 and 2 of a strip of paper that is longitudinally folded pr doubled upon itself adjacent to one of Its Serial No. 505,60a.
edges. Said thicknesses, after embracing said wire, are disposed in parallel contacting relation from the wire and are their contacting areas by substance. Extending sheath and constituting an extension or continuation of one of the thicknesses, as 2, is a narrow attaching strip or border 3 which when gummed by the application of asuitable adhesive, is adapted to be applied to a side of a paper bag 4: at or adjacent to the upper end of said side. Said attaching border 3 has a length substantially corresponding to the width of the bag to which it attaches, whereas the sheath has its opposite ends projecting outward a considerable distance beyond the corresponding ends of said border.
The sheath 2 with the embraced wire 1 and the attaching border 3 is preferably provided in the form of a tape from which suitable lengths may be cut for application to the bags as required in the course of manufacture of the latter.
In practice, followin filling, the two sides of the bag, with the ends of the latter folded bellows-like between said sides, are brought together to close the bag mouth, whereupon the top edge of the bag and the attached fastener are together folded or coiled downward in the form of a flat roll, as shown at 5 in Fig. 3, to take up the surplus material of the unoccupied mouth portion of the bag. lVhen the limit of the rolling is reached, the opposite outwardly projecting end portions of the sheath and encased wire are turned downward and inward to ing the roll 5, such turning under being ermitted 'by the opposite pocket-like enc-recesses 6 which directly underlie the ends of the closed mouth. With the ends of the sheath and encased wire thus clamped, the package is securely fastened in tightly closed condition.
It will be noted that the top of the pack age, closed in the manner described, has a substantially flat form, and, consequently, that the package presents a neat and attractive square appearance. Further, it will be manifest that the bag may be opened and re-closed numerous times without in any Way impairing the efieieney of the fastening;
a suitable adhesive throughout an appreciable distance united throughout?v upward from said" to ,1
thus, itis admirably adapted for use where fractional portions of the contents are to be removed at intervals or from time to time.
What is claimed is- 5 The combination with a bag, of a fastener therefor composed of a sheath formed by folding a strip of paper longitudinally 'adjacent to its bottom edge and adhesively attaching the folded over edge to the body of the strip at a spaced distance from the upper edge of the latter, the'portion of said strip above said attached edge being attached to a side of the bag adjacent to the top of the latter, and a wire encased by said sheath.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
