2 Claims: sot-.42)
This invention relates to packagesfor carbon paper. a
The invention relates particularly to packages for odd sized sheets of carbon paper although 5 certain featuresthereof may be embodied with advantage in for sheets of standard sizes It has been a diilicult problem, in plants in which carbon paper is manufactured, to pack odd sizes of such paper for shipment economically. On account of the number of sizes of the carbon sheets, when they are packed in boxes, it is required to maintain a large number of sizes of boxes in stock, and even then orders will often be received for a size for which there are no boxes in stock. The paper then has to bepacked in non-flttingboxesor the shipment delayed until boxes are secured to lit the The maintaining of a large number of boxes of different 0 sizes in stock involves considerable expense.
One object of the present invention is to produce a' package for odd -sized carbon papers which may be quickly and easily made up with thepackingmaterlalsordinarilyathandina shipping department and may be cut to fit carbonpaperofanysize.
' Another object of the invention is to produce a novel and improved package for carbon paper which is inexpensive to manufacture, which will hold the sheets in stacked arrangement and protect them efliciently from being wrinkled or torn and which will enable the sheets to be readily withdrawn singly from the package for Y With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in a package embodying the novel and improved features hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims, the advantages of which will be readily understood 40 .by those skilled in the art.
The invention will be clearly understood from the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention in its preferred form. and the following detailed dmription of the construction therein shown. I
In the drawings: p I
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a-complete package embodying the invention, the package being 50 shown in closed conditionready for shipment,
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the package with the seal broken and the closing flap tumed back for the'purpose of removing the carbonsheets,
riasisn'viewlnlongitudmal section of the 5 package as shown in Fig. 2,
I of the envelope thus formed are made of subl'ig. 4 isatransverse sectional view of the outside envelope,
Fig. 5 is a ed view showing the envelope, the carbon paper holder and a number of sheetsof carbon paper in stacked arrange- 5 ment ready to be placed in the holder, and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the carbon paper holder in open condition with a stack of carbon paper in, position on one of the side members of the holder.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the package comprisesan outer receptacle or envelope indicated as whole at 2. This envelope is made by cutting a sheet of relatively heavy paper to form a strip 4 having substan- 15 tially the same width as the carbon sheets to be "packed and having a length somewhat more than double the length of said sheets, and folding said strip on itself as shown in Fig. 3, to form the front wall to, thebottom wall 41) and 20 the rear wall lcof the envelope, a portion of the strip being left projecting from the rear wall at one end thereof to. form a closing flap 4d. The adjacent side margins of the walls to and 4c are secured together in spaced relation by means 25 of strips of paper 8 folded in U-shape over said margins as shown in Fig. 4, and secured to said walls by a suitable adhesive. In order to reinforce the bottom portion of the envelope, astrip of paper I is folded in U-shape about the bottom 80 wall 4b and over the adjacent e'nds'of the front and rear walls of the envelope andis secured to said walls by an adhesive.
The rear wall and preferably the front wall stantially the same length and width as the coras responding dimensions of the carbon sheets so that the sheets will fit snugly in the envelope.
In order to protect the sheets of carbon paper and prevent them from beingzwrinkled or torn in the event that the package is subjected to rough treatment during shipment, the envelope is provided with stiffening sheets i0 and I2 preferably secured within the envelope. These sheets are preferably made of relatively heavy cardboard. 45 pasteboard or similar material and are cut substantially to the size of the sheets of carbon paper. The stiffening sheets I II and I2 preferably are secured to the front and rear walls of the envelope at one or more points in any convenient manner, as by a suitable adhesive, so that when the carbon sheet holder, which his between the same, is withdrawn from the package the stiffening sheets will not be withdrawn therewith. The construction and arrangement of the parts of the package preferably are'such that the stifl'ening sheets are held in spaced relationat least at the entrance end of the envelope by the stillness of the sidewalls of the envelope. v
The package comprises a carbon sheet holder indicated as a whole at ll in Figs. 5 and.6. This holder comprises two sheets, l6 and II of rela-- tively thin cardboard, pasteboard orsimilar, material cut substantially to the size of the carbon sheets indicated at 20. The cardboard from which these sheets are cut is preferably relatively light and flexible but has suflicient stiffness to maintain its shape during the sliding of the holder between the stiffening sheets l and I2 in the removal of the holder from the envelope and the insertion of said holder therein. The sheets l5 and It are hingedly connected by means of strips of paper 2| so that the sheets may be relatively folded or swung into and out of position to enclose the carbon sheets. A space is left between the adjacent ends of the cardboard sheets to allow the said sheets to lie in spaced relation when the carbon sheets are placed therebetween'. In inserting the carbon sheets inthe holder, a stack of these sheets 'of'the number to be'packed is placed upon the cardboard sheet l8 when the holder is in open position, as shown in Fig. 6,
and the sheet-l6 is then swung over upon the carbon sheets. The holder with' the contained carbon sheets is then inserted between the stiffening sheets Ill and I2 of the envelope. Inorder to enable the holder to slide readily between 7 said stiffening sheets, these sheets are preferably provided with glazed inner surfaces.
To enable the holder to be quicklyand easily withdrawn from between the stiffening. sheets,
the envelope is provided with a hold tab 22 I secured to the wall to and to the adjacent stiifening sheet l0, and the sheet holder is provided with a pull tab 24 secured to the sheet l8.
Fig. l of the drawings shows the package closed and the flap 4d secured to the front wall la by a seal 26. When in this condition the package is ready for shipment. When the fiapis closed, the tabs 22 and 24 readily bend forward and downward under the flap. Upon the opening of the flap, however, the resilience of these tabs throws them up into position to be grasped by the operator.
When the package is opened, the sheet holder may be readily removed from the envelope by grasping the hold tab 22 and pulling outwardly on the pull tab 24. Fig. 6 shows the sheet holder removed from the envelope and the cardboard sheet l6 turned back to permit the removal of the sheets of carbon paper from the holder. Upon the turning back of the sheet l6 upon the carbon sheets the holder may be readily inserted between the stiffening sheets III and I2 of the envelope.
If desired, in removing sheets of carbon paper from the package, the holder maybe pulled only partially out of the envelope. The flexibility of the sheet, It allows the outer end of the same thento be bent back to enable one or more carbon sheets to be grasped and drawn out of the holder.
It will be'noted that the entire package is made up of materials with which a shipping department is usually supplied. When a shipment of carbon paper of a certain size is to be made,
the strip of paper 4 and the cardboard sheets l0,.
l2,- l8 and It may be cut from sheets substantially to the size of the paper to be shipped. The narrow paper strips may consist of the ordinary gummed strips, rolls of which are kept in stock in shipping departments. The strips 2| and the hold' and pull" tabs 22 and 24 may also consist of sections of suchgummed strip material. Thus the package may be easily and cheaply made up to fit any size of carbon sheets.
Having explainedthe nature and object of the invention, and having specifically described a construction embodying the invention in its preferred form, what is claimed is:
1. A package forcarbon paper comprising the combination of holder sheets of cardboard between which the sheets of carbon paper are placed, stiflening sheets outside of said holder sheets, a paper envelope in which said carbon paper, holder sheets and stiffening sheets are enclosed and to which 'one or more of the stiflening sheets are attached so that the holder sheets may slide between the stifiening sheets in planes substantially parallel .with the general plane of the envelope when the the envelope when the package is open and having their inner ends secured together to cause them to slide together in unison between the stiffening sheets, a series of sheets of carbon paper locatedbetween said holder sheets, a pull tab connected to one of the holder sheets and a holding tab to hold the stiffening sheets and envelope against the pull on the pull tab.
