Application September 11, 1952, Serial No. 308,953

1 Claim. (Cl. 229-87) This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structural refinements in currency wrappers, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a wrapper of the character herein described, which may be conveniently and eifectively employed for securing paper currency of all denominations in any quantity and in a readily accessible criss-cross position.

Some of the advantages of the invention reside in its extreme simplicity of construction, in its convenient operation and in its adaptability to economical manufacture.

With the above more important objects and features in view, and such other objects and features as may become apparent as this specification proceeds, the invention consists essentially of the arrangement and construction of parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

' Figure l is a top plan view of the invention in use;

Figure 2 is an underside plan view of the invention per se; and

Figure 3 is a perspective view also showing the invention in use. 7

Like characters of reference are employed to designate like parts in the specification and throughout the several views.

Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the invention consists of a currency wrapper which is designated generally by the reference character 10 and comprises in its construction a somewhat elongated, substantially rectangular sheet or panel 12 which is provided adjacent the corners thereof with pairs of bendable, co acting

straps

14, 16.

The

straps

14, 16 in each pair are disposed at the opposite side edges of the panel 12 and are preferably formed integrally with the panel. 1

Also, the panel 12 is of such size that the transverse distance between the

straps

14, 16 in each pair corresponds Patented July 26, 1955 substantially to the longitudinal distance or space between the pairs of

straps

14, 16.

Free end portions of the straps 14 have suitable a-dhesive material 18 provided thereon, whereby they may be readily connected to the free end portions of the straps 16.

When the invention is placed in use, currency 20 of any denomination may be stacked in any quantity upon itself in criss-cross formation as is best shown in Figures 1 and 3, so that when the panel 12 is superposed on the stacked currency and the

straps

14, 16 are secured together by the adhesive means 18, the straps will be disposed in the inner corners, so to speak, of the stacked currency so as to prevent the same from displacement or shifting.

Needless to say, suitable indicia 22 may be printed on the panel 12 to indicate the contents of the stack as desired.

It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will be clearly understood from the foregoing disclosure and, accordingly, further description thereof at this point is deemed unnecessary.

While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having described the invention what is claimed as new A money package including stacks of alternately crossed currency, and a wrapper comprising a substantially rectangular sheet of a width corresponding to that of the currency and superimposed longitudinally on one of the stacks, straps extending in parallel pairs outwardly from the sides of the sheet at the ends thereof with the inner edges of the pairs spaced apart the width of the currency, said sheet being longer than the width of the currency by the width of two straps, sai-d pairs of straps straddling the other stack in edge-abutting engagement with the currency therein and being bent around and beneath said one stack with the free end portions of one pair lapped with the corresponding portions of the other pair, and means for securing the lapped free end portions of said straps together.
