BUIKMY ADVERTISING-PACKAGE.

Application filed April 29, 1910. Serial No. 558,420.-

nackao c of the character commonly displayed in store windows to advertise various commodities contained in smaller packages of like kind. These advertising packages are usually imitations of the Tsiiizill package on a very large scale und'are not intended to be used as containers.

The object of my inventionis to produce a substaru ial cylindrical knock down dummy package of this cliuractcr having very simple parts which can be very easily interlocked with each other.

l figu I a perspective view of a cylins drical dummy pupcr package embodying the features of my invention. XI is a pen. spcctivc showing parts of the dummy package ready to be assembled. Ill is section taken on line lli lli, Fina-l. Fig. V-llfl'l ig. I.

inns 3r desig- In the accompanying d1 nates u cylindrical bod" made of a sheet of paper. the edges of which overlap when the body of the dummy package is formed, one ot the edges of the sheet being provided with pairs of parallel slits 1 mic adapted to receive locking tongues which project from tho other edge. Each tongue 3 passes through 21 pair, of the slits land 2 Fiq. IV), extends into tho package und has its tree end interposed between the overlapping p rtions of the sheet A. These tongues can be very ezis l ."o ded baclnvzirdly to pass through the" iust described, and when so zirruuof vei F lirmly held p sitiou b upping portions of the sheet lock with the ends or ii e tongue, thus comieting the body of-tl e 'dunnny package. The body .i is proi'idcd near its ends with pairs of parallel slits 4 which produce yielding webs 5 huvinoftheir ends integrally conlHlU-i in the body is,

. hich Irictionally engu re and intermovement thereof.

B designates the heads of the package which are formed of a single sheet of paper and are ofn circular shape. At intervals around the edge of each head are tongues 6 bent at a right-angle to the plane of the head. The heads B are inserted into the cylindrical body A. at. its ends, and the tongues 6 of these heads are, for the pur pose of securing the heads to the body A, passed through the outermost slit 4, and their through the innermost companion slit 4, it being understood that to permit such passage of the tongues. the-Webs5 are bent inwardly, as illustrated in the drawings.-

lhese inwardly bent Webs form stops adaptcd to engage the heads B and limit inward As seen in Fig. 3, the tongues 6. upon being introduced as has been stated, are ciuscd to hear at their outer faces against the wall of the body A above and beneath the webs 5, and at their inner t'accs against said webs, whereby they are held in position Within the body with a suffi- I cient degree of firmness to prevent the escape of the heads "from the body of a dummy package, and such dummy package is therefore made adequately substantial for the use for which it is intended, namely, that of serving as an artlvertisingmediunnin which connection it is not necessary to place any contents in the package.

I claim:

A dummy paper package con'lprising a cylindrical body inade of a sheet of paper having pairs of slits adjacent its endsand inwardly bent webs between said slits, and means for holding the edges. of said sheet of paper together, said means includings pair of circular paper heads inserted into opposite nds of the cylindrical body, the" inwardly bent Webs forming stops adapted to engage said heads, each of said heads having, :1 circular row of tongues which extend toward the middle of the body, pass through said pairs of slitshnd hear at theirfree ends against the interior of the body and at their inner ends against the exterior of said Webs cs0.
