9, 1935. l N MARCALUS 1,991812 DISPENSING BOX Filed sept. 2s, 1955 vvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvv wlw v. vv j l Patented Feb. 19, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4 Claims.
This invention relates to boxes or receptacles for rolls of paper from which the paper may be withdrawn in lengths as desired, a metal cutting strip being provided on one side of an opening of the receptacle through which the paper is withdrawn so that it may easily be severed.
A primary object of the invention is to provide an improved narrow cutting strip of metal on the cover or other part of the box for severing the paper as withdrawn, the attaching means therefor being so disposed and preferably struck up from the metal of which the cutting strip is made that an extremely narrow strip may be employed.
Another object of the invention is to form the box together with its cover portion of a single sheet of material folded and stapled at opposite ends to hold the box in operative roll retaining condition.
A frequent diiliculty encountered with dispensing boxes of the type disclosed is that if dropped accidentally the end of the roll, normally in position for grasping to withdraw a length of paper, is drawn back so that it may not readily be grasped. It is therefore a further object of the invention to form guiding members on the box on opposite sides below which the end of the roll being withdrawn may be guided.
And finally an extension on the front wall of the box is provided bent back upon itself to engage against the roll to aid in preventing the end of the roll from slipping down out of easy reach of the hand.
With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the features of construction and operation set forth in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
In the accompanying drawing annexed hereto and forming a part of this specification, I have shown my invention embodied in a box of paper constructed particularly for dispensing short lengths of waxed paper from a roll retained within the box, but it will be understood that the invention can be otherwise embodied and that the drawing is not to be construed as defining or limiting the scope of the invention, the claims appended to this specification being relied upon for that purpose.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a complete dispensing box or receptacle made according to the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the box.
(Cl. 20G- 58) Fig. 3 is a detail View of the cutting strip and method of attaching it to a longitudinal edge of the cover portion of the box; and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the formed and creased sheet from which the box is formed before being folded and stapled.
In the above mentioned drawing I have shown but one embodiment of the invention which is now deemed preferable, but it is to be understood that changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Brieily and in its broadest aspect, my invention comprises the following principal parts: First, a sheet of card board or other heavy material, preferably of paper, and adapted when folded to form the walls and cover flap of a complete one piece box; second, a thin and narrow metal strip fastened closely adjacent a longitudinal edge over which the paper being withdrawn may be passed to cut it ornamentally and regularly; third, extension flaps on the lend walls folded inwardly and under which the paper may pass while being withdrawn; and fourth, an extension Iiap on the front wall of the box folded inwardly and over which the web of paper is withdrawn.
Referring more in particular to the figures of the drawing, at 10 is shown a sheet of material such as heavy paper cut out and creased for forming the complete receptacle forming the present invention. Along one side of this sheet is an extension flap or fold 11 forming a portion of the front 12 of the box. Along the opposite side of the sheet is an extension 13 forming the front wall of the cover, the main portion or top of the cover being formed of the part 14. The part 15 forms the bottom of the box and 16 the back wall.
At opposite ends of the sheet 10 are extensions 17 which are folded in front of the end wall 18 and stapled or otherwise secured thereto. A short extension 19 formed on the outer end of the end wall 18 is left free and is folded horizontally inward below which the web 20 of the roll 21 is drawn.
The top 14 of the receptacle and extension 13 forming the front downwardly extending portion of the cover are each provided with end extensions respectively 22 and 23 which are folded upon themselves and stapled or otherwise secured together. In Fig. 2 staples 24 which are a preferred securing means are shown for the end walls of the box and cover but it will be obvious that these parts may be glued to securely hold them in position. As shown also in Fig. 2 they flap 11 prevents the web of paper 20 from clinging to the roll after the unrolled portion has been severed. The free end of the web is maintained always in position to be grasped even when this end may accidentally be drawn back within the box.
Along the free edge of the cover extension 13 is secured a cutting strip 25 formed from a strip of metal preferably serrated along its outer end. In order to make this strip 25 as narrow as possible to save metal its attaching means are so disposed that they take up a minimum of the width of the strip. For that purpose the strip 25 at intervals along its length is provided with short longitudinal slitted portions closely adjacent each other, the central portion being cut midway of its length to form opposed short prongs 26 which may be bent outwardly and forced through the material of the cover portion 13. On the outer surface of the cover 13 these projections or prongs are pressed down to securely clamp the strip 25 to the cover at intervals along its length. By reason of the prongs being formed between longitudinally extending slits spaced close together laterally of the strip 25 they require a minimum of width and thus reduce the total width of strip required for the cutter.
Fig. 3 shows a portion of the cutting strip 25 upon an enlarged scale, the fastening prongs 26 therefor being shown in detail in two positions. The prongs 26 at the right are shown as they appear when the cutting operation is complete but before being forced through the cover 13 and bent back upon the outer side. The prongs 26 at the left are shown in the completely formed and bent position so that they are clinched upon the outer side of the cover 1 3 and hold the strip 26 firmly thereto.
To temporarily retain the cover 14 in closed position during shipment of the box the front wall 12 may be slotted as shown at 27 and the cover extension 13 also slotted or cut as shown at 28. The projection in the cover 13 formed by the slit 28, which preferably may be of arcuate form, may therefore engage under one edge of the slotted portion 27 of the front wall 12.
Thus engaged the cover portion 13 and the portion 12 of the box are effectively locked together.
What I claim is:
1. A box comprising a single folded piece of material having a narrow metal strip attached adjacent the free edge of one of the walls thereof, spaced slitted portions formed in said strip, the slits extending longitudinally of the strip and being cut transversely of said strip midway of their length to form short prongs, and said prongs being bent over and passed through the wall of the box to secure the strip thereon.
2. A dispensing package comprising a box made of a single folded piece of material having a narrow metal strip attached adjacent the free edge of one of the walls thereof, a roll within said box, inwardly extending flaps formed on the upper portions of the end walls of the box whereby the web being unwound from the roll within the box may be guided upon opposite sides below said flaps.
3. A dispensing package comprising a. box made of a single folded piece of material having a narrow cutting strip attached adjacent the free edge of one of the walls thereof, a roll within said box, inwardly extending flaps formed on the upper portions of the end walls of the box, and a flap formed on the upper free end of the front wall of the box, said last mentioned flap being folded inwardly whereby a web being withdrawn froml the roll within the box may be guided and supported in position for grasping.
4. A dispensing package comprising a box made of a single folded piece of material, end walls formed of overlapped extensions stapled together to retain the box in operative form, a roll within said box, inwardly extending flaps formed on the upper portions of the end walls of the box, and a ap formed on the upper free end of the front wall of the box, said last mentioned' flap being folded inwardly whereby a web being withdrawn from the roll Within the box may be guided and supported in position for grasping.
