1 Claim.
This invention relates to a convenient container or sales package for typewriter paper or other material.
It is the general object of my invention to provide a container for such products which may be conveniently opened and closed and which will fully protect the contents of the package from dirt or injury.
A further object of the inventionis to provide a construction which may be easily and economically manufactured and which requires a minimum amount of inexpensive material in its construction.
My invention further relates to arrangements and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
A preferred form of the invention is shown in the drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a blank for my improved container;
Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the container partially folded;
Fig. 3 is a side view of the container in closed condition, and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view to be described.
Referring to the drawing, my improved container is preferably made from a single blank of heavy paper, thin cardboard or some similar paper pulp product, it being essential that the material be relatively stiff but flexible.
The blank comprises a front portion 10, side edge portions 11, a bottom edge portion 12, an upper edge portion 13, side edge flaps 14, a lower back member 15 and an upper back member 16. The edge portions 11, 12 and 13 are defined by scoring lines 20, suitably spaced apart for the amount and thickness of paper to be received in the package.
In Fig. 1, the scoring lines 20 are indicated as relatively close together for a thin package and in Fig. 4 the scoring lines 22 are indicated as farther apart for a thicker package.
Having provided a blank as indicated in Fig. 1, the blank is then folded as indicated in Fig. 2. The side edge portions 11 and the lower edge portion 12 are folded perpendicular to the front portion 10, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3. The side edge flaps 14 are then folded inward, as indicated in Fig. 2, to a position parallel to the front portion 10. The lower back member 15 is then folded upward over the side edge flaps 14 and is gummed thereto along the areas indicated at 25 in Figs. 1 and 2.
It is usually more convenient in practice to place the typewriter paper or other material in position on the front portion 10 while the blank is still flat and to thereafter fold the holder or container around the paper or other material which then affords a firm support when applying pressure to the gummed surfaces.
While I have indicated in Fig. 1 that the gum is applied to the area 25 before the back member 15 is folded upward, it will be evident that the gum may likewise be applied to the same area of the side flaps 14 if so desired, the particular member to which the gum or glue is applied being immaterial so long as the adhesive is confined substantially to the areas indicated at 25.
The container may now be filled with typewriter paper or other material, as indicated at P in Fig. 3, unless the material has previously been placed therein, and the upper edge member 13 and upper back member 16 are then folded to the position indicated in Fig. 3, the back member 16 being sufiiciently flexible so that it can be inserted behind the free upper edge portion 15 of the lower back member 15.
When a relatively stiff but flexible material is used for the container, the stiffness of the member 15 firmly retains the member 16 in position, securely closing the package but permitting it to be very easily opened and re-closed as often as desired. Furthermore, the package when closed remains closed without the application of any additional or external closing means. As previously stated, by suitably spacing the scoring lines, a package of any desired thickness may be secured.
While the words upper and lower and front and back have been used as convenient terms of description, it will be understood that they are descriptive only and that the members 15 and 16 may be at the sides rather than the top and bottom, and furthermore that the members 15 and 16 may form the front rather than the back of the package.
Having thus described my invention and the advantages thereof, I do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed otherwise than as set forth in the claim, but what I claim is:-
A container for typewriter paper formed from a single piece of cardboard and comprising a front member, narrow side portions and upper and lower end portions, all folded rearward to provide inturned side flaps and upper and lower back members spaced substantially and uniformly rearward from said front member, said side flaps extending substantially the entire height of the container and the lower back member being of the full width of said container and being gummed at its extreme side edges to said side flaps but left free from said side flaps adjacent its upper edge, and said upper back member overlapping said side flaps, extending below the upper edge of the lower back member and being insertable behind the same to close the container.
EDWARD SOUTHWORTH.
