To all whom it may concern..-

Be it known that 1, JOHN A. WAGNITZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Vessels; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use-the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

paper vessels of the class commonly used for carrying oysters, liquids, and semiliquid substances; and it consists more particularly of a vessel circular in horizontal cross-section. The object of the invention is to supply a well-known demand for a cheap and efiicient circular paper vessel which, owing to the cost of production, is within the reach of all classes of consumers. This I am enabled to do by constructing such paper vessel from a single blank or sheet of paper, out and scored as hereinafter described in connection with the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is. a plan view of theblank from which the vessel is made. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the vessel closed; Fig. 3, a similar view of the vessel open; Fig. 4, a section of one side of the vessel on the line was line a Ct.

of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 a section through the bottom of the vessel when folded- As the blank is shown in Fig. 1 this section is on the Throughout the specification similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts in the drawings.

The blank is cut in outline substantially as shown in Fig. 1 and has two similar panels 1 1, which form opposite rounded sides of the vessel when folded on the score-lines 2 2, and two smaller panels 3 3, which complete the circle when folded on the score-lines 4 4. The

material joining the

panels

1 and 3 on each side has score-lines 5 and 6, which, together with the score-

lines

2 and 4, converge at their inner terminals at fouropposite points of the circular score-line 7, the latter being the circumference of the bottom of the vessel. The

My invention relates to improvements in several gores formed by the score-

lines

2, 4, 5, and 6 fold against the outer sides of the side walls or panels 3 3, asshown in Fig. 4, and those'portions of the panels or walls 1 adjacent to the score-lines 2 2 form the outermost layers that fold over said walls 3 3. These portions of said walls 2 2 overlap with the other folds,and theentire folds are pierced by the ends of a wire bail 8. however, does not penetrate the walls 3 3.

- Inclosing the circular score-line 7 is a scoreline 9, which partakes more of a rectangular form. The converging ends of the score-

lines

2, 5, 6, and 4 cross this score-line 9 and terminate, as before stated, at the circular scoreline 7. Said converging ends, when thefolds are made, form four strengthening-ribs 10, that serve to sustain'the bottom 11 up, as shown in Fig. 5. spaces 12 between the circular and rectangular score-lines 7 and 9 is bent up from the bottom of the vessel on line 9, and this provides the strengthening-ribs 10, that extend from the score-lines 7 and 9 and sustain said bottom in the position shown in Fig. 5, scorelines 7 and 9 then forming the lower edge of the bottom of the vessel or a crease or edge around the bottom of the vessel.

In forming the vessel from the blank scorelines 4 and6 are first folded against the outer side of panels 3. Then score-lin es 5 and 2 are folded against 4 and 6, making a double plait or gore against the outer sides of said panels 3, which overlap at the upper ends and are secured by the bail, as hercinbefore described. The cover of the vessel is also constructed from the same blank as the body and consists of four extensions or

flaps

13 and 14 and project from the edges of'panels 1 and 3 and between which parts there are wave scorelines 15, which score-lines partake of the general outline of the blank. These extensions or

flaps

13 and 14 have a series of angle scorelines 16 and straight parallel seore-1ines'17, which form a series of folds 18,- which bend on wave-lines 15 and form the cover of the vessel. These folds are provided with eyelets 19, through which an endless string or cord 20 is passed. The eyelets 21, adjacent to the edges 22 of the flaps, come in line when said edges are overlapped, and the string or cord passing through all of the eyelets con-1 Said wire bail,

The material within the trols allof the folds 18, and when said string is. pulled at each'end in opposite directions a the said folds will close down forming the cover, as shown inFig. '2, the cord being tied to maintain the cover in such closed position.'
