GRUNWALD, ONE-THIRD TO CARL E. CARLSON, AND ONE-THIRD T FRED H. LOE- SCHER, ALL 'OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
TOILET-PAPER PACKAGE.
Application filed September 18, 1920. Serial No. 411,235.
To all Iwhom t may concern Be it known that I, CHARLESV FISHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at 3100 Carroll Ave., lChicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toilet-Paper Packages, of which the following isa speciiication.
This invention relates particularly to a package of toilet-paper adapted to be introduced into a service cabinetr and caused to engage a supporting member, preferably in the form of a yplate provided with a retaining shoulder. `Such a package of toiletpaper is adapted for use, for example. in a service cabinet of the construction set forth in my application No. 411,236 filed in the United States Patent Office on even date herewith. The cabinet is provided with serving mechanism adaptedto feed the 'sheets downwardly, seriatim, this mechanism operating to split the paper engaged by the supporting plate as the sheets are successively drawn downwardly in operation of serving them from the cabinet.
The prima-ry object of the present invention is to provide a package of toilet-paper which can be easily introduced into operative position in such cabinet. Another object is to provide for the manufacture of such packages in an inexpensive manner. An additional object is to provide packages of this character which can be packed conveniently and kept in perfect form, thus facilitating their introduction into the cabinet and insuring the proper operation of the cabinet.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. l represents a broken vertical sectional view of a package of toilet-paper showing the same applied to the supporting blade of a cabinet;
Fig. 2 a similar view illustrating the manr ner in which the package is applied to the supporting blade;
Fig. 3, a plan sectional view of the package;
Fig. 4, a view of a blank from which a package fastener is made;
Fig. 5 a view of the package fas-tener formed therefrom; and Fig. 6 a broken rear elevational view of the package.
In the illustration given, A represents a supporting blade or hook of a cabinet; B, a package offtoilet-papemand C, a packagefastener, or clip, employed. f
The package B comprises a suitable number of strips or sheets 1 of Atissue paper. The package is provided near its upper edge with a slit, or thin perforation, or slot 2, which is centrally located near the upper edge of the package.
The 'fastener or clip C is preferably formed from a strip of flexible resilient paper, shown in Fig. 4f. This strip is designated 3. The preferred manner of forming the clip is to fold the strip 3 on the central line 3, and then punch the folded member in such manner as to leave a head portion 3" and arms 3C. The arms''c are roundedor tapered at'their extremities as indicated atdi.
In the manufacture of the package, the slit 2 is formed by forcing a pointed blade through the package ofpaper; and the arms 3c of clip are then inserted through the slit. The extremities 3d of the arms are then bent in oppositer directions, and the head portion 3C of clip is folded over against the opposite side of the package, vas indicated in Fig. 3. Thusthe plies of paper which form the arms 3c serve to line the sides of the slit, and the space between these plies serves as a channel or guide to permit the entry of the blade A without disarrangement of the sheets of tissue paper. When the blade is entered, it serves to extend the head portion 3b of the clip at right angles to the plane of the package, and the clip may then be withdrawn from the package, leaving the package engaged by the hook or shoulder of the support A.
` It should be noted from Fig. 5 that the offset forming the head 3b is an edgewise offset which affords an edge-like shoulder adapted to engage the front surface of the package of paper; and it will be understood form Fig. l that the slit 2 lies in a vertical plane perpendicular to the front face of the package. It follows that the members 3C of the fastener, while horizontally disposed, he in a verticalplane. The surfaces of the fastener which contact with the fastener are ungummed, so that the fastener, as shown in Fig. 2, can be freely withdrawn from the slit'. leaving the package impaled on the blade as illustrated in Fig. l. Thus the sheets of toilet paper may be readily ruptured or slitted from theslit 2 to the upper edge when the sheet is drawn downwardly to efl'ect its discharge fromthe cabinet.
In Fig. 3, the arms 3C are shown separated, or with a space between them, such as would be caused by the entry of the blade A. In practice, the plies 3 lie closely adjacent each other until the blade is inserted, and thus form a. lining for the slit, pern'iitting easy insertion of the blade.
The packages of paper, bound at one end by the fasteners or clips C, may be packed conveniently in a box `or large package; and the individual packages may be taken and introduced into the cabinet as required. lt is highly important to the successful operation olf the cabinet, that the tissue paper of the package should not be disarranged; also, it is important that the package be such as to enable it to be easily and properly introduced into the cabinet.
The package described may be cheaply i'nanufactured, and enables the above objects to be attained.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitation should be understood therefrom, but the appended claims' should be construed as broadly as permissible in view of the prior art.
What I regard as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1,. As an article of manufacture, a package of toilet-paper sheets having a longitudinal slit extending therethrough near one end of the pack, and a fastener comprising a paper strip folded at an intermediate transverse lineand havingl an edge-wise offset head portion affording a shoulder, the members of the folded strip extending through and lining said slit and having their extremities bent, thus affording a guide adapted to permit the entry of a supporting blade when the package is ii'itroduced into a service cabinet.
2. As an article of n'ianufacture, a package of toilet-paper sheets having a longitudinal slit extending therethrough near one end of the pack, and a fastener comprising a flexible member having a shoulder engaging one side of the package and having members extending through the slit and lining the side walls thereof, thus alfording a guide adapted to permit the entry of a supporting blade when the package is introduced into a service cabinet, said fastenerhaving ungummed surfaces adjacent the package ofpaper and being capable of being freely withdrawn after the entry of said blade in said slit.
3. As an article of manufacture, a package of paper sheets having a ltaigitudinal slit therethrough near one end. and a fastener con'iprising a paper strip' folded at the center ol its length to provide two arms which line the slit, said fastener having its folded end portion enlarged to provide a head engaging one-side of t-he package and having the extremities of its arms folded in opposite directions against the other side of the package, said fastener being without gunimed connection with the package and capable of being freely withdrawn after the package has been. impaled on a supporting blade in a cabinet. l
