Description

C. D. REED AN 0 DIB S Filed Oct. 1, 1934 Patented July 23, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE to Reed Candy Company, Chicago,
poration of Illinois Application October 1,
Claims.
Edibles of this type while in a plastic state are customarily formed or molded around handles or holders While the said edibles are being formed or molded into various shapes such as oval, round,
5 square, etc., and are subsequently wrapped in waxed paper, cellophane or the like. Such edibles are customarily made in sizes suitable for sale to the consumers at a certain number of pieces for one cent, such as one for 1, two for 1, etc.
As is frequently the case, the consumer desires to purchase more than one cents worth at a single purchase, which requires the seller to count out the number of pieces which the customer desires to purchase, necessitating extra time on the part of the seller which could other- Wise be devoted to making additional sales.
The object of my invention is to provide an improved band or container of any desired length which securely binds or holds the edibles together in groups of two or more, resulting in a convenient compact package, facilitating the handling and sale thereof.
Another object is to provide an improved package for edibles having handles.
These objects and such other objects as will appear are attained by the novel elements and their novel arrangement and combination as shown in the drawing and hereinafter described.
In carrying out my invention I provide an in- 30 expensive device of the type above indicated which may be readily applied to the edibles in groups of two or more retaining them in compact alignment.
I now explain the details of my invention and its essential features as illustrated in the drawing and set forth'in the claims.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the relative position of the band or strip, on a group of 40 edibles which for purposes of illustration only are five in number.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the interlocking feature, one of the means for joining the ends of said band or strip.
Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the blank from which the band or strip is made.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the band or strip as it appears after being folded around the edibles and the interlocking feature, one of 50 the means for joining the ends of said band or strip, the edibles not being shown in connection therewith.
In the following description and in the claims Various details will be identified by specific names for convenience, but they are intended to be as 111., a cor- 1934, Serial No. 746,319
generic in their application as the state of the art will permit.
The improved container or retaining band of my invention comprises a generally a rectangular shaped elongated flat strip or band of any desired length having means provided for mutually fastening the ends thereof.
The material which I prefer to use in the improved container or retaining band, is flexible paper board of suitable thickness and finish having inherent stiffness or toughness.
Referring to the drawing more in detail:
In my invention I provide a band with a cut out portion or slot (i) substantially in the center of said band. At each end. of said slot, the said band is slit a short distance (2) and (3), to permit the easy and quick insertion of the handles of the edibles (4) through the said slot which retains the said handles in alignment as shown in Fig. 1.
In ends (5) and (6) are oval shaped slots (1) and (8), end (6) is provided with a tuck (9) substantially at right angles with the main body of the band.
The band is provided with parallel transverse scores (i 0) and (H) which permit the ends (5) and (6) to be folded over each other.
The band may be tightened about the edibles by bringing the free ends thereof downwardly around the edibles folding the ends (5) and (6) over each other bringing into alignment slots (7) and (8), folding tuck (9) over the ends (5) and (6) and inserting said tuck through said aligned slots, (1) and (8), thereby firmly locking the ends (5) and (6) together, causing the band to be held in a rigid position around the edibles and holding them in perfect alignment as illustrated in Fig. 1.
In the place of the tuck and the oval shaped slots, the ends of the band may be provided with transverse, opposed cuts (not shown) which may be interlocked to hold the band in place. Similarly the ends of the band may be left plain and one folded over the other and the two ends fastened with a wire staple or united by an adhesive or in any other suitable manner.
Having now described my invention, what I claim is:
1. An improved band for edibles having handles, comprising a strip having a slit to receive said handles, and fastening means for joining the ends of said strip.
2. An improved band for edibles having handles and adapted to be packaged in face to face relation with said handles protruding in one direction, comprising a strip having a slit to receive said handles, and fastening means for joining the ends of said band and holding said band around said edibles.
3. An improved band for edibles, with handles, or the like, of relatively flexible paper material, an elongated oval slot midway the ends and sides thereof, an oval slot in each end, a tuck member adjacent to one end substantially at right angles thereto.
4. An improved band for edibles, with handles, or the like, of relatively flexible paper material, an elongated oval slot midway the ends and sides thereof, an oval slot in each end, a tuck member adjacent to one end substantially at right angles thereto, said band scored transversely of its length and intermediate the ends thereof to provide a supporting and retaining portion for said edibles.
5. An improved. band for edibles, with handles, or the like, of relatively flexible paper material, an elongated oval slot midway the ends and sides thereof, an oval slot in each end, a tuck member adjacent to one end substantially at right angles thereto, said band scored transversely of its length and intermediate the ends thereof to provide a supporting and retaining portion for said edibles, said tuck member being adapted to readily engage the ends of said band, when said ends are brought into alignment by the insertion of said tuck in the oval slots in the ends of said band.
