Application May 14, 1941, Serial No. 393,390

1 Claim. (01. 206-58) extending from said open slot. Furthermore it is proposed that an area of said end web section engage around the container for covering the container.

Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a simple means for holding the web section mentioned in the previous. paragraph,

fixedly inposition.

The invention alsoucontemplates modified packages as mentioned, particularly characterized by covering members mounted upon the ends of the container for covering the end portions of the container which are not normally covered I by the said end web section. a 1

Still further it is proposed to provide the covering members mentioned in the previous par- .agraph with slots aligned with the open slot of the container through which said end web section may pass.

Anotherobject of the invention is the construction of a device as mentioned which is simple and durable and which may be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention,

and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will} be had to the following description and accompanying drawing,and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of, the

invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying .drawingforming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cellulose film and the like paper roll package constructed in accordance with'this invention.

Fig. 2 is a, perspective view of the package shown in Fig. 1 butin an open position. a

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on th line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

r Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2'. r

Fig. .5 is a front elevational view of a Cellophane or the like paper roll package constructed in accordancewith a modified form of this invention.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of the package shown in Fig. particularly illustratpresent day practices,

The cellulose film and the like paper roll pack-.

age, in accordance with thisv invention, includes a container I0 provided with an open slot ll along one side and normally holding a roll of cellulose film or the like material [2 so that an 'end web section I2 thereof extends through said More specifically, the container l0 open slot H. is constructed of cardboard in accordance with As the details of the constructionof the container form no part of the invention such details will be omittedfrom this specification. However, it is pointed out that a metallic strip I4 is mounted along the slot II to facilitate tearing off the extended section of the web I2 The container H is also provided with an opening-l5, in a corner opposed to the slot ll through which a finger may be inserted to help turnthe roll [2, or shift the web portion l2, to extend anothersection thereof, The container lil also has a wall section 16 interiorly thereof with its inner end "lfiebent laterally to forma support for the end web section [2 as this portion of the'roll extends from the package. This metallic strip is curved to strengthen this strip and to bend the lower edge Id of the strip toward the inner wall section It, to insure a better cutting edge and guiding surface for the web I2 which is to be torn off the package.

It is proposed that an area I2 from the end section I2 engage around the container I 0 for covering the container, as clearly shown in Fig.

article is sold, the tape I1 is torn and then the web section may-be drawn out to any extent and a. portion torn off, in the usual way against the blade. 14.

In Figs. 5 and 6 a modified form of the invenf tion is disclosed which distinguishes from the prior form in the fact that covering members 20 are mounted upon the ends of the container l0 for protecting these end portions which normally are not protected by the web I2 and its'extension I2. Each covering member 20, preferably is formed from-a piece of cellulose film wound around the container I 0 and having'its end portions 2% overlapped and cemented together.

Each covering member 20 is also provided with a slot 2! aligned with the open slot ll of the con- 1 slots 2|,

tainer Hi. The web l2? extends out from said In other respects this form of the invention is identical to the previous form and like parts have been indicated by like reference numerals. While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to beunderstood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

1 Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by States Letters Patent is:

In a rectangular package of the class described, a container completely enclosing a cylindrical roll of cellulose film or similar material and J formed with an open slot along one corner," said roll having an end web section projected through, t said slot and wound completely about said rectangular container, and means holding said web).

section in its encircling position, so that said means may be broken to free said web section to" be, gripped and -.used for: continuing to pullthe. Lweb of cellulose film through said, slot, said means, comprising a severable piece of tape ce- ;mented to the end of said web section and to the face an adjacent portion of said web section;
