PACKAGE OF FLY-PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,188, dated September 8, 1891.

Application filed June 18, 1889. Serial No. 314,694. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD F. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages of Fly-Paper, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, that will enable others to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

Figure l is a perspective of the clamping or packing frame. Fig. 2 is a plan of a package secured by the same; and Fig. 3, a section 011 line 3, Fig. 2, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.

In the manufacture of fly-paper it is necessary that the sticky composition be so spread upon the paper that there will be a margin of clear paper all around the leaf of each sheet, as otherwise the composition would be expressed between the edges of the paper and cause the different sheets in a package to adhere to each other and render the whole package unsalable. Even with this precaution, however, it often happens that the composition oozes out beyond the edges of the paper in consequence of hot weather and the weight of other packages. I prevent loss and damage from these causes by the use of a packing-frame which presses down only upon the margin of the paper and outside of the border-line of the composition. The line of pressure is between the border of the composition and the edge of the leaves and prevents the sticky substance from being expressed.

In the drawings, A A represent two companion parts forming the clamping-frame proper. These two half-frames are hinged together at a by interlocking hookeyes formed in their respective joining ends, so as to provide a hinged connection or jointfor convenience in making up the package.

B is a package of fly-paper.

In Figs. 2 and 3 the binder is shown in use on this package. The wire clips C pass over the edge of the package and engage with the bindingwires on each side, as shown in Fig.

3. These binding-clips are arranged at intervals and compress the leaves together, and at the same time prevent the escape of the sticky composition.

The dotted line D in Fig. 2 indicates approximately the maginal line of the composition. The package of paper is inserted between the jaws of the clamping-frame of improved construction and compressed and the locking or binding clips secured in position when the package is ready for shipment.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent isl. A clamping device or holder for packages of fly-paper, consisting of a frame formed of two parts or sections arranged to clamp the uncoated margins of the sheets of paper on opposite sides of the package, in combination with individual binding devices adapted to engage the said parts or sections of the frame opposite the several margins, whereby a firm and uniform binding of the uncoated margins is secured, substantially as described.

2. A clamping device or holder for packages of fly-paper, consisting of a frame formed of parts or sections adapted to clamp the sheets of paper upon their uncoated margins on opposite sides of the package and movable binding clips or devices overlapping the edges of the package at intervals around its several margins and serving to firmly hold the sections of the frame upon the margins to prevent the escape of the sticky material from the sheets of paper, substantially as described.

3. A clamping device or holderfor packages of fiy-paper, consisting of a frame constructed of two parts or halves interlocked at one end to form a hinged joint and the binding-clips overlapping the edges of the package at intervals and having their respective ends attached to and bearing upon the clamping frame upon each side of the package, substantially as described.
