JOHN H. BRINGOLD, OF ALBANY, NEW YORK.

PAC KAGE FOR BELT-DRESSING COMPOUNDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,235,1"1ated March 2, 1886.

Application tiled March 1], 1884. Serial No. 123,763. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, JOHN H. BRINGOLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albany, in the county of .Albany and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Packages for Belt-Dressing Compounds, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a stiff and tightwalled packing-case for belt-dressing compounds, in which the package is made of stiff paper or paper board having its inner surface coated or covered with a substance which will prevent the grease of the compound from penetrating to the outside, and having its walls scored or cut partly through from the outside at intervals.

The objects of my invention are to produce a package for holding belt-dressing compounds in condition to be readily and freely handled without removal from the package and without soiling the hands of an operator, and also to permit the ready removalof sections of the package by slicing off the compound preparatory to its being placed between a belt and band-wheel. I attain these objects by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents the belt-dressing-com pound case or package. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the same with a section of the wall of the case or package removed preparatory to slicing the compound for use, and with the outer wrapper or envelope removed to show the scores. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the same, illustrating the manner in which this package is held for applying the compound therein to a running belt.

The same letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings, A represents my improved belt-dressing-compound case, and A is the cover thereof.

The drawings, in Fig. 2, show a portion of the case removed and exposing the compound, B.

The case A is made of stiff thick paper or paper board, or other cheap sheet material, and it is made preferably of an oblong form, with flat side walls, so as to be substantially square in its form in its cross direction, though it may be made with a cylindrical or oval form,

if preferred; but in all cases I make this packing-case with a diameter or extension in its cross direction that will adapt it to be readily and firmly grasped by the hand of the operator, substantially as shown in Fig. 3, so that the operator can with convenience hold the pack age with required pressure endwise to the surface of a running belt when required. The sides and lower end of this case are properly cemented together by glue to make the joints thereof tight. The upper end is closed by any proper cover. The interior surface of this case is covered or coated with a substance such as glue or gums, which are soluble in water but notin oils or grease. This coating or lining on the interior surface operates to prevent the oil or grease in the compound from penetrating the side walls of the case and passing through the same to its outside surface. The body of this case has its exterior sides preferably covered with an outer wrapper or envelope, which is also cemented therewith, which strengthens the case in all its parts and contributes to stiffening the same. Made in the side walls of this case, all around, are scores or cuts a c, at intervals of one-quarter or three-eighth's of an inch, more or less. These cuts or scores penetrate from the outer surface to about one-half of the thickness of said walls, and are preferably made before the sides are joined together. The outer wrapper of this case is applied to the body of the same after the scoring of its walls, and hides the same from view.

\Vhen it is desired to apply the compound to a running belt, the operator will with a knife cut through the outer wrapper in a line opposite to the lowermost score 0, and remove the section of thecase below such score, when the exposed end of the compound will project below the lower end of the remaining portion of the case. The operator will then hold the package with the exposed end on the running belt, when the friction of the latter on the compound will wear away the compound, and by adherence to the belt be carried to the band-wheel or pulley. A removal of each section between scores 0 enables the operator to 'readily slice with a suitable instrument the protruding portion of the compound, for placing the same in thin slices between the belt and a band-wheel or pulley when those de- I of the case, and holds the sections from being 20 vices are above convenient reach of the operator. 1

This packingcase is used to receive and hold belt-dressing compounds which are substantially solid in substance and made of tallow,

rosin, and suitable oils for uniting with both the former when melted together. The coating of the interior surface of this case prevents the oil in the compound from passing through the paper of the walls, to grease or soil the hands of the operator, and enables the packages to be held in store for a great length of time. The scores 0 made in the walls enable sections of the case to be readily removed from time to time, as may be required, without any difficulty, so as to expose only portions of the compound to be immediately used. The thin outer wrapper or envelope stifl'ens the walls readily detached by accident at the scores 0.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

A case for packing and holding belt-dress- 2 5 ing compounds made in a solidified form, the same consisting of the body A, having its bottom and side walls made of paper cemented tight at their joints, and having its interior wall-surfaces coated with substance which the 0 oil in the compound will not pass through, and having external scores or cuts, 0, at intervals, made all around, all substantially as and for the purposes and operations set forth.

JOHN H. BRINGOLD.
