PACKAGE Sept. 20, 1938.
Filed April 25, 1936 ATTQRNEY Patented Sept. 20, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFiCE PACKAGE Irving W. Berkman, Brooklyn, N; Y. Application April 25, 1936, Serial No. 76,337 1 Claim.. (01. 206-47) This invention relates to a container, especially to a package constituting a unitary article of manufacture adapted to be sold as such andcomprising in compactly associated form, ready for use, several elements required for performing a given operation, such for example as the wrapping up of an object for sale or for shipment by mail, or the treatment of a wound with medicaments, bandages, etc.
In the first example above given, it is necessary that the person wrapping up the object shall have immediately at hand a supply of wrapping paper, preferably in the form of a roll thereof, from which a length conformable to the size of any given object can readily be removed, leaving the remainder of the supply roll in reserve, undisturbed; and there is need further for a readily accessible supply of twine, string or ribbon, preferably in the form of a cop, a ball or a spool, from which portions can be withdrawn as required, leaving the main mass in position for subsequent withdrawals as needed, and also leaving these paper and twine elements in association for such further use, so that they will not be separated, and one or the other mislaid.
Where the operation to be performed is in the nature of treatment of a wound, it is important to have at hand and conveniently accessible in indeterminate quantities, a supply of absorbent cotton, a supply of sterile b-andaging material and a supply of adhesive tape; alsoa bottle of. antiseptic or healing liquid.
Under the above conditions, to supply the need for such associated-use materials in compact form, it is an object of the present invention to provide a package in the form of a tubular container having upon its periphery a supply roll of the wrapping paper or bandaging material, with means to hold thereupon the reserve supply after each withdrawal from the roll of a portion of the desired length for immediate consumption; and to provide within the tube a spool, cop orball of twine, string, ribbon, adhesive tape or like. tieing material from which the stretch required for use at any time can be readily withdrawn, leaving the remainder in reserve, this feature of the invention including the provision for holding the twine or like mass firmly but rotatably in position for the convenient withdrawal of the current supply in any desired length, and for presenting the free end of the twine or tape in position to be grasped for such withdrawals.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear as the description of the particular by suitable means,
physical embodiments selected to illustrate the invention progresses.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, like characters of reference have l been applied to corresponding parts throughout the several views which make up the drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a view in perspective of a complete package in the construction of which the present invention has been embodied; Fig. 2 is a view thereof in longitudinal section; Fig. 3 is aview of the same in end elevation, looking from right to left; Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 of a modification; Fig. 5 is a similar view of another modification; and Fig. 6 is a view, like Fig. 3, showing in right end elevation the structure of the modification of Fig. 5.
In a now-preferred embodiment of the invention selected for illustration and description, the part designated by the reference character II is a tubular container which may desirably be of the form of a pasteboard tube commonly known as a mailing tube, and the length of which will correspond to the requirements of the: intended Within this container, I have shown, in pursuance of one embodiment of the invention, a supply of twine suitable for use in doing up a parcel for sale or, when used in the household, for mailing or other disposition. In order that the desired length of twine may be readily withdrawn from the spool, and to maintain the reserve supply always free from tendency to snarl up, or become tangled, I have provided a spindle IS on which the spool I2 is mounted, the ends of the spindle being fixed or journalled in the walls of the tube, as at M, it being understood, however, that this arrangement of the spool for rotation is merely an illustrative example of a suitable disposition thereof to permit the desired withdrawal to be effected conveniently and repeatedly. The end of the tube H is open, in the instance shown in Figs. 1-3, and the free end l5 of the twine is caught in a split or notch l6 formed in the wall of the tube.
In further pursuance of the invention, a supply of wrapping paper is provided, wound upon the periphery of the tube, as illustrated at IT, and the free end of this supply roll is confined shown illustratively at l9 as taking the form of a rubber band which may be easily stripped from the roll when a withdrawal is to be made, and which can be replaced with equal case when the desired amount of wrapping paper shall have been withdrawn; thus providing for snug disposition of the supply of wrapping paper remaining in reserve at all times.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the supply of wrapping paper is like that just described, and the tubular container H is identical in structure, so that like characters of reference have been used to designate these and other like parts, including the notch I6 to hold the free end l5 of the twine. Instead of a spool like l2, however a different type of spool, as a cop of twine is shown, designated generally as C, wound upon a bobbin of conical form, as at c, and the bobbin is mounted'upon a spindle l3, like that already described, set in the walls of the tube, as indicated at M.
In the modification illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, the tube II is the same as that already described, and it is similarly provided with a supply roll I! of wrapping paper, but the supply 20 of twine takes the form of a ball of twine, which is confined initially againsttangling movement by its formation with a diameter large enough to cause frictional engagement of its periphery 2| with the inner walls of the tube, as indicated at 22.
In this instance, I have shown the tube as sealed at its ends by cup-shaped closures or endpieces 23, 24, the last-named end being pierced, as at 25, to permit the end of the twine to pro- J'ect therethrough, as at 26, so that it may be conveniently grasped for Withdrawal of the desired length for use.
The end-piece has a flap as 21, secured thereto, to hold the free end 26 firmly, but yieldingly.
As indicated in Fig. 5, the upper half of the flap 2! is adhered to the disc which closes. the tube, and the lower half is left free, the natural resiliency of the flap, when made of any suitable material, such as paper or gummed cloth, being sufficient to exercise the desired restraint upon the withdrawal of the strand 26.
While the invention has thus far bee-n disclosed as embodied in a package of wrapping materials, this is, of course, not intended to exclude its application in other physical embodiments, as for example in a package Where a spool of adhesive tape would take the place of the spool of cord in Figs. 1-3, inclusive; and where the exterior supply of wrapping paper II would be substituted by layers of surgical bandage gauze, and if desired absorbent cotton batting.
Such applications, and others, fall within the idea of means underlying this invention, and are covered generically by the claim.
I claim:
As a new article of manufacture, a package of consumable materials comprising, in a unitary structure, marketable as such, a tubular container, a roll of sheet material wound thereon, means adapted to embrace said container and roll, confining the free edge of said sheet material and adapted to be removed and replaced readily to permit withdrawal from said roll from time to time of said sheet material in desired lengths, a mass of strip material within said tubular container and wound upon a spool secured upon an axis journalled transversely between the opposite walls of said tube, said axis being constituted of a post penetrating the walls of the container, said strip material being dispensable by unwinding the outer layers thereof successively while the mass is confined bodily Within said tubular container, and means to hold the free end of said strip material when not being withdrawn, while permitting free withdrawal thereof until entirely expended.
