PAPER-FASTENER PACVKAC-IIE.4

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,423, dated August 23, 1904. Application iiled December 21, 1903.. lSerial No, 185,928. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. CLIFF, a citi- Zen of the UnitedStates, residing in the' city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Fastener Packages, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a paper fastener package suitable for commercial purposes, which may be easily and economically constructed, and in which the fasteners will be retained in convenient position for use. n topped box having located therein a coiled strip of paper or other suitable material, the

top edges of the convolutions of the said' coiled strip of paper being sufliciently spaced apart to permit the entry or insertion into the package between the said convolutions of paper fasteners.

In order that the invention maybe more readily understood and comprehended, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure l is a top plan view of a paper fastener package embodying-"my invention;

FigureQ is a vertical section of the same;

Figure 3 is a section indicating a modified construction of paper fastener package embodying my invention;

Figure 4 is a transverse section of a number of convolutions of a spirally wound strip indicating a modified construction of paper fastener package embodying my invention;

Figure 5 1s a view similar to that of Figure 4, indicating another modification; and Figure 6 is a top plan view of my fastener holder order to space the several convolutionsof the,

said strip, the lower edge of the strip is turned or folded upwardly to form a spacing strip, as indicated at 4 in Figure 2, the said convolu- The invention consistsA in an openvwithin the said box, though in practice it is found to be unnecessary as the strip is retained within the box by means of the friction of the strip against the sides l of the said box.

rI`he construction illustrated in Figure 3 is the same as-that shown in Figure 2, except that the lower edge of the strip is folded twice as indicated at 6, the convolutions of the strip thus' being. separated by a space twice the thickness of the space shown in Figure 2, so

that the saidpackage is adapted to receive the stems or bodies of paper fasteners of greater thickness than those shown in Figure 2.

In Figure 4 a construction is shown which is similar to that shown in Figure 2, except that I tlie spacing strip 7 at the bottom of the strips 3 is separate orvdetached from the said strips 3. The construction shown in Figure 5 differs vfrom that shown Vin Figure 4 onlyin having `the spacing strip 7 located a slight distance above the lower e'dge of the strip 3.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. An article of manufacture of the character described, comprising a box or receptacle, a coiled strip of suitable material located in the said box or receptacle, a spacing strip located between the convolutions of the said strip below the upper edge thereof to occasion the formation of spaces between the adjacent convolutions, such spaces extending uninterruptedly from the said spacing strip to the top edges of the convolutions of the coiled strip.

2. A commercial holder for fasteners, comprising a box or receptacle and a coiled strip `of paper or other suitable material located in the said box or receptacle, the yconvolutions of said coiled strip being spaced at their top edges, and a spacing strip located at the lower the said strip to occasion the formation of spaces between the adjacent convolutlons, such spaces extending uninterruptedly from the 15 said spacing strip to the top edges of the convolutions of the spirally wound strip.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing as my invention l have hereunto signed my name this 18th day of December, A. l). 1903.

GEORGE lil. CLlFlf.

In presence of- Tiros. K. LANCASTER, LAURA KLEINFELDER.
