PATENT QEEICE.
EUGENE A. BIRCHER, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.
LABEL FOR ROUND BOXES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 751,047, dated February 2, 1904.
Application filed July 23, 1903. Serial No.16 6,692. (No model.)
To all whoa/t t may concern:
Be it known that I, EUGENE A. BIRCHER, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Labels for Round Boxes, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings.
Certain kinds of merchandise or goods, common more particularly to the grocery and the drug trades, are frequently put up in round or cylindrical sheet-metal or wooden boxes having covers to closely slip or telescope on the outside of the open ends of the boxes. These boxes are usually covered with paper labels pasted upon their convex surfaces in a manner to cover and make air-tight the joints between the bodies of the boxes and the covers, which labels on account of the strength and hardness of the paper render it difficult and troublesome to remove the covers `when it is wished to open the boxes, and for the purpose of dividing these paper labels at the joints when it is wished to open the boxes a knife or similar sharp instrument is commonly used, resulting frequently, as when slipping, in injuring the hands of the person using it.
The object of my invention is to overcome this difficulty by producing an improved paper label which while closely covering and sealing the joint will readily yield or tear at the joint by merely twisting or turning the cover upon the body of the box, thus avoiding the use of a knife or other similar dangerous instrument.
The invention is hereinafter fully described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this speciication.
Figure l is a plan of my improved label. Fig. 2 shows a wooden or sheet-metal box with the label applied in place thereon. Figs. 3 and 6 show modications in the mannerA of forming the label, the label being represented rows of incisions. Fig. 7 is an enlarged section on the dotted line 7 in Fig. A, showing the indentations.
A in the drawings is a label, the same being a slip of paper, commonly printed or ornamented and adapted to be pasted upon the curved surface of the box B, as shown in Fig. 2, these boxes being commonly made of sheet metal or wood. This label is formed with a series of curved incisions c, Figs. l, 2, and 5, alternated above and below a middle line e, which line when the label is placed upon the box is made to fall directly over or upon the line of the joint a between the cover and the body ofthe box. These incisions, as shown, have their concave sides toward the line e, but do not meet or touch said line nor the joint a, there being a narrow band or strip f of the label uncut between the opposing ends of the incisions, which band covers the joint a at every point, and when the cover is turned or twisted uponthe box the paper label where incised and weakened will ruflie and readily tear or part alongY or near the line of the joint a, and so allow the cover to be readily removed Without the aid of a cutting instrument.
The gist of this invention being the weakening of the paper or substance of the label along or near the line of the opening-joint a, so it will readily give way or break along said line when the cover is turned preparatory to opening the box, it is clear that the particular manner of thus weakening the label is immaterial-that is to say, the incisions may be angular, as shown in Fig. 6, or the label may be left imperforate and merely indented, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 7, over or near the joint a, the form preferred being simple indentations like those shown in Figs. 4. and 7 near line e, corresponding with the joint a of the box. Thus constructed While the label completely covers the joint of the box it is ready to easily give way when subjected to torsion by the twisting of the cover, as and for the purpose stated.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A paper label for a receptacle, as a round box, having incisions adjacent to the openingjoint of the receptacle or box.
IOO
2. A label for a round box, having a series an intermediate imperforate narrow band or of incisions in a line adjacent to the openingstrip of the label, said band or strip being joint of the box. placed to cover the opening-joint of the box. 3. A label for a round boX having two par- In witness whereof I have hereunto set my 5 allel rows of incisions with a narrow ilnperhand, this 17 th day of July, 1903, in the pres- I5 forate' band or strip of the label between, said ence of two subscribing witnesses.
irnperforate band being adapted to cover the EUGENE A. BIRCHER. joint of the boX where opening. Vitnesses:
4. A label for a cylindrical boX, having in- ENos B. WHITMORE, IO cisions formed alternately above and below MINNIE SMITH.
