Description
Dec. 7 1939- c. P. BEROLZHEIMER 9 SHO ELACE PACKAGE Filed March 1, 1937 "Ill Patented Dec. 26, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application March 1, 1937, Serial No. 128,443
1 Claim.
This invention relates to an improved shoelace package and has, for one of its principal objects, the provision of means for attractively displaying a pair of shoelaces or the like in a novel individual package which, at the same time, will retain the laces or other article in afresh, clean and desirable condition.
One of the important objects of this invention is to provide a shoelace or other package which is quite economical, easily manufactured and completed, and which can be readily handled for both transportation and sales purposes with a minimum of time and labor.
Another and still further important object of the invention is to provide a shoelace packageor similar container which can hold one or more pairs of shoelaces or the like and which is of such a construction that the laces may be readily applied thereto and as readily removed, and which, furthermore, includes a simple yet effective transparent and dust-proof outer covering or container element.
Other and further important objects of the invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the accompanying drawing and following specification.
The invention, in a preferred form, is illustrated in the drawing and hereinafter more fully described.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the improved shoelace package of this invention, showing the same in a transparent envelope or the like.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the foundation card upon which the laces are wound.
Figure 3 is a detail View showing the first step in the operation of applying the laces to the card.
Figure 4 is an end view of the card with the laces thereon.
Figure 5 is a detail view showing a portion'of the card with the laces applied thereto, this being the reverse of the side shown in Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a planview of the transparent envelope or cover for the completed card.
As shown in the drawing:
The reference numeral I0 indicates generally a piece of cardboard or the like which is to form the foundation or base for the improved shoelace package of this invention. As best shown in Fig- 5 ure 2, this card is cutaway at its ends to provide I From an inspection of Figures 3 and 1, the method of application of the laces to the card'will be evident. In other'words, the free ends of a pair of laces l4 are held against one face of the card as shown in Figure 3, the same being then 5 wound into position around the card by constraining the corresponding portions of the laces to fit into the notches H2. The card is of such dimensions with respect to the length of the laces or the beginning of winding may be so maneuvered that the free ends of the laces 14 project sufficiently beyond the notch l8 at the termination of winding so that they can be slipped through the notch and into a fastening relationship with the circular opening Hi as best shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5.
The transparent envelope or wrapper 20 is then applied to the assembled package by simply slipping the same thereover or gluing the same in position there-around as best illustrated in Figure 1.
Obviously, more than one pair of laces may be applied to a single card, and also obviously any free space on the card may be used for advertising or trade-marking purposes, and if desired, the transparent wrapper may be replaced by a simple paper envelope which, in itself, may bear the trade-marking or other insignia. Various color combinations may also be employed, thereby adding to the attractiveness of the completed packages whereby a readily salable commodity results.
Furthermore, the application of the outer wrapping to the card, in addition to keeping the contents clean and free from dust, also prevents any possibility of the laces themselves becoming 35 upwrapped from the card or pulling or being pushed out of the slot or notch I8 either during handling or otherwise.
I am aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction varied throughout a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I, therefore, do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon otherwise than as necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention: 45
A shoelace package, comprising a foundation card, means in the ends of the card to prevent lateral displacement of the laces, a pair of shoelaces wound around the card, and means for assembling and retaining the free ends of both shoelaces in locked position on the card, said means comprising a slotted notch in the card and cut into one side edge thereof, said slotted notch comprising an opening and a groove in the side of the card terminating in the opening so as to 55 provide entry thereto.
