UNITED STATns- JOHN MELLETTE, or WiNAMAc, INDIANA.:

Rl BBON-ROLL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,744, dated August '7, 1883,

Application filed June 6,1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN MnLLErrn, of Winamac, Pulaski county, and State oflndiana, have invented a new and Improved Ribbon-Boll, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description.

rlhe object of my invention is to provide a new and improved roll for ribbons, tape, Snc., which is cheap, light, and strong.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the gures.

Figure lis a perspective `view of my improved ribbon-roll. Fig. 2 is a plan view of one of the blanks of which the roll is made.

A strip, A, of veneer, or any other strip ofv very thin wood, is punched out of a sheet integral with two circular pieces, B, united with the opposite longitudinal edges of the strip A, at about the middle of the same. The strip A is provided in its longitudinal edges with a series of edge recesses, a., and the circular pieces B are provided on the edges with tenons, tongues, or projections, b, iittin gin the notches a in the edges of the strip A. The circular pieces B are bent up at right angles to the strip A, and the two ends of the strip A are passed around the edges of the parts B, the

projections b passing into the edge recesses a, and the strip A is glued to the edges of the parts b. v ,f

li" desired, the parts B can be out out independently of the strip A, which is then glued to the edges of the said pieces.

If desired, the edges of the pieces B can be bent over inwardly, and the strip A is then glued to the said inwardly-bent parts.

- described.

Ribbon-rolls made of veneer or other very lthin sheets or plates of wood are very light, 4o

strong, and durable and have a very good appearance. They have the same appearance as solid wooden rolls, but are lighter and cheaper, andare stronger than the hollow-pasteboard rolls used heretofore and made of hard-wood 4 5 veneers, and have a better appearance than the pasteboard or the wooden rolls.

The projections b strengthen the roll and hold the parts together very effectually.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A wood veneer ribbon-roll having its cylindrical body and ends made of a single blank, as shown and described.

2. A wood-veneer blank from which to forni a ribbon-roll, consisting of the rectangular strip A, notched at c, and having on each side of its middle a circular disk, B, with peripheral projections b, said disks being integral with said strip, as shown `and described.

3. A process oi' making ribbon-rolls from veneer, which consists in rst forming-a rectangular strip with edge recesses upon its opposite longitudinal edges, and two disks provided with corresponding projections on their 6 5 peripheries; secondly, folding the ,longitudif nal edges ofthe strip about the disks, fitting the projections into said edge recesses; and, lastly, gluing together the strip and disks at the junction of the notches and projections, as 7o JOHN MELLETTE.
