SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,974, dated February 6, 1853.

Application filed November 29, 1882. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES DE QUI L- FELDT, of the city, county, and State of New York, have. invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Reticules, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved reticule which is madeof one continuous piece of paper or other suitable material, and so constructed that it can be folded in to proper shape without any gluing or stitching; and the invention consists of a reticulemade of one continuous piece of paper or other suitable material with folding side gussets, a three-ply bottom, and a locking device integral with the blank from which the reticule is made. The material from which the body of the reticule is made is held together by an inwardly-folding flap of the front wall, which bindsover the frontextension-flaps of the gussets. The front and rear walls, as well as the gussets, are provided with perforations, through which a suspension-string is passed, said string being provided with knots at the ends, that are covered by the closing-flap of the reticule.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective viewof my improved reticule. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectivelyfa vertical transverse section and an end view of the same,

shown respectively with the front flap opened and closed. Fig.4 shows the blank from which the reticule is made. Fig. 5 is a perspective view, showing a blank partly folded up so as to form a reticule. Fig. 6 is a vertical longitudinal section of the reticule, showing the retaining-flap of the front wall; and Fig. 7 is a plan of the reticule with open flap, showing its connection with the suspension string or cord.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

forming the extension of the bottom f, a bind ing-flap, g, forming an extension of the front wal1,g, and a closing-flap, h, which is connected by a narrow intermediate piece, h, with the rear wall, a, as shown in Fig. 4. The rear wall, a, folding gussets I) b, frontextension-flaps, d d, front wall, 9, and the overlapping flap g are provided equidistantly from the vertical folding-lines and upper edges of the parts with perforations z i, which-serve for the purpose of passing a suspension-cord through the same when the blank is folded into proper shape. The closing-flap h, as well as the front wall, g, is providedwith suitable slots and tongues or anchors, whereby a paper lock of any suitable shape is formed integral with the material of the reticule. By preference slots of semicircular shape may be used, whereby small semicircular tongues h are formed,which interlock with each other when the closingflap is brought down to the front wall of the reticule, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

In making up the reticule the gussets b b and front extension-flaps, cl d, are folded up in front of the rear wall, a, and the interior bottom flaps, c 6, brought up, so that one overlaps the other, as shown in Fig. 5. The bottom f is then folded up below the interior bottom flaps, c e, and thefront g folded up over the extension-flaps d d, and the binding-flap 9 turned in over the upper edges of the extension-flaps d d, whereby the interlocking of all the parts composing the reticule is obtained. The closing-flap h is then brought down over the front wall, 9, and closed by means of its locking device. The intermediate part, 71/, forms then the upper part of the reticule, the

gussets of which are drawn in or folded at the upper part, but gradually widened toward the stiff bottom, which is formed of the interior bottom flaps, c e, and the exterior bottom, f. The three-ply bottom formed thereby imparts the required degree of rigidity and stifiness to the entire structure. A suspension-cord, B, is then passed through the different perforations t, which are located in line with each other when the reticulc has been folded up from the blank A. The ends of the suspension-cord B are knotted, so as to be prevented from getting detached from the body. The cordB does not interfere with the ready opening of the rctioule after the closing-flap is disconwithout gluing, stitching, or other connecting means usually employed in paper boxes. It is specially adapted for advertising and other purposes, as it can be cheaply manufactured 1 and brought out in an attractive exterior apbottom extension-flaps, .e e, bottom f, front wall, g, retaining-flap g, an intermediate top part, h, and a closing-flap, h, said closing-flap and the front wall having interlocking tongues or anchors h k substantially as specified.

3. A blank for a reticule, consisting of a rear wall, a, gussets b b, having front extensionflaps, d d, and bottom flaps, e 6, bottom f, front wall, g, having retaining-flap 9, intermediate top part, h, and closing-flap h, the rear wall, gussets, front extension-flaps, front wall, and the retaining-flap being provided with holes 1', and the closing-flap and front wall withinterlockin g slots and tongues or anchors, substantially as specified.

4. The combination of a reticule made from one continuous blank of paper or other material and composed of arear wall having a closing-tlap, side gussets having front and bottom extension-flaps, a bottom, and a front wall having an overlapping flap,with a suspensioncord that is passed through holes near the up per edges of the frontwall, gussets, and rear wall, and knotted at the ends, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 have signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
