Description
R. c. BE ATTY PACKAGED MULTISHEET ARTICLE Aug. 30, 1932.
Filed Apl kl 14, 1930 Patented Aug. 30, 1932 UNITED STATES RICHARD c. IBEATTY, onofircmqdannmorsj PACKAGED MULT sHEET ARrIdiJE Application filed. April 14,
This invention relates to improvements in packaged multi-sheet articles and method of packaging the same.
In preparing 'multi-sheet articles, such as wall calendars, for mailing in mailing tubes,
the current practice is to roll the articles from the upper ends where the sheetsare fastened together and insert them in a stiff mailing tube, or wrap them in a mailing wrapper, forming a flexible tube. This results in the free edges of the sheets being stepped back progressively from the inner to the outer sheet with the result that the sheets are frequently torn or otherwise damaged during removal of the tube and also the sheets have a tendency to curl and the lower ends flutter loosely when removed from the tube and hung on the wall. The use of a mailing tube generally is preferred over mailing the articles flat because the tube affords better protection and is less costly, the use of envelopes or wrapping paper generally requiring that a stiffening board be used to prevent damaging the article. Thus the initial cost of wrapping 5 is increased as well as postage.
One object of the present invention is to provide a double rolled multi-sheet article the tendency of the sheets of which to creep is compensated for to prevent creasing, which article can be mailed in a tube and can be freed-from its container with less likelihood of damaging the sheets and which when so removed will hang or lie practically flat, with no fluttering or curling of loose edges.
A further object of the invention relates to the method of rolling the article for insertion in a mailing tube. V
In the following specification, the term tube is intended to cover either a stiff mailing tube, a wrapper, or other suitable container, and in like manner, wherever the term calendar is employed it will be so used for the sake of brevity and as a generic designation for any multi-sheet article adapted to be rolled for mailing in such container, since it will be apparent from a consideration of the following specification and drawing that the invention may be employed in conjunction with multi-sheet articles 7 generally, although at present the most useful field of the invention 1930. 'seiiai No: 444,015. I

In the accompanying drawing, r 1 a's-a perspective view of multi-sheet article, such asa calendar.
Fig; 2 is a vertical sectionta'kenon line 22ofF ig;1.
Fig. 3 is an end view of afpa'ckaged artic'l comprising the present invention.
Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating the initial i stages in rolli'ng the article for insertion in a mailing tube or other'container. In the drawing 10 "ndic ates multi-s'heet article or calendar the sheets of which are "shown as securedat the top by a conventional- 3 metal binding strip 11. Asit is advantageous )to bindthe sheets also atthe bottom to cause them to hang 'flat on the wan a fter the caliidar has been removed fromthe mailingjtube 'or package, I have shown a number of wire 7 staples 12am: thisjaurposealthough it will be apparent that any jother means for securing the edges' togetherimay beemployed, such as a binder similar tothe strip 11, or glue, or any 1 binding means known to the art.
* The'binding of-the sheets at 'the' bottom has necessitated mailing the calendar unr'olled, as
' in an envelopasincein rolling the "sheets from j one end only in the conventional manner the securingmeans prevents themfrom slipping jso one upon the'other progressively, with the resul tthatsomeoftheinner sheets Wil-l'wrin kle-and becomecreasedfl However with the improved methodof roll ing the article; as illustrated in Figrfi and as "diagrammatically in Fig. 4,-wrinkling and I creasing ofthe inner sheets are avoided; As "shownin the figures mentioned, the article is rolled from one i-end to approximately-onehalf its length and then. rolled'f-rom the oppo r site end on'the opposite face of the article. Inmakir-ig the first roll '13, the innersheetsof that roll will creep or slip to some extent in front of theroll. but as the unrolled' ends are secured, these sheets will rise in waves or i the slack in those sheets will be taken up as the second roll 14 approaches the first roll 13.
' The two rolls thus lie on opposite sides ofthe original plane of the article and each face of the sheet forms the inner wall or layer of one 5 roll and the outer surface of the other roll.
The two rolls can then be inserted in a mail c ing tube 15, or other packageor wrapping as illustrated in Fig. 3.
' "It will he noted that when the double roll 10 is inserted inthe package, longitudinal spaces 16,17 are provided along either of which a knife can be run for cutting the wrapperwith less danger of damaging the article than V where the'same is rolled in the conventional I manner. Where still mailing'tubes are emfg'ployed the conventionally rolled articles are generally withdrawn from one end, but some- 1 times with considerable difliculty. But as ;will be obvious from Fig. 3, the double roll 0 can easily be removed by inserting the thumb and finger in the rolls to grasp the intermedi-. w ate wall 18, whereupon the article canbe removed without difliculty.
As mentioned above, each roll comprises I approximately one-half the length of the ar- I ticle, but in cases where the calendar sheets aresecured in the form of a pad of less length than the back, the'rolls will be so proportioned 'that each will comprise about one-half the r length of the calender sheets, the upper part jof the backing sheet being entirely in one of the:r0lls, for example, in-case the calendar sheets are securedto the lower partrof said backing,
