CHARLES WV. FISI-IEL, OF ASPEN, COLORADO.

PAPER BAG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 467,088, dated January 12, 1892.

Application filed May 20,1891. Serial No. 393,411. (No specimens.)

T0 on whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. FIsHEL, of Aspen, in the county of Pitkin and State of Colorado, have invented a new and Improved Paper Bag, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in Which- Figure 1 is a diagram of the sheet from which the bag is made. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the bag with the side flaps overlapping upon a string or cord laid transversely across it, and which is thus secured by the flap itself Without the aid of supplemental means, so as to form a permanent attachment of the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the complete bag, and Fig.4 shows the bag closed and tied up.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap and easily-fastened bag for receiving goods of various kinds, such as groceries, dried fruits, vegetables, articles of hardware, and other articles which do not sift.

My invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and claimed.

In making my improved bag I take a rectangular sheet A of paper or other suitable material and I fold the sides over upon the body of the sheet upon converging lines a and unite the flaps b by means of paste. The corner 0, together with the lower portions of the flaps b, is folded over the body, and the corner is secured by paste to the overlapping portions of the flaps b. lhe remaining corner d is folded over a string B and pasted, as shown in Fig. 3, and this corner when folded over on the line 6 forms a flap for closing the mouth of the bag. After the bag is filled the string B is wound once or twice around the body of the bag and tied, as shown in Fig. 4. It will thus be seen that my improved bag is made with the smallest possible quantity of material and that it may be readily filled and easily and quickly closed and fastened.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As an article of manufacture, the bag formed of a rectangular paper sheet, two of whose diagonally-opposite corners b b are folded on converging lines and lapped and pasted, the corners 0 being folded and pasted upon such lapped portions to form the narrow end of the bag and the extremity of the remaining corner portion being folded and pasted upon a string B, laid transversely across it, as shown, and which is thus secured to and forms a permanent attachment of the mouth-closing flap, as shown and described.
