ISABELLA J. VAN SKELLINE, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

WRAPPER FOR BONBONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Reissued Letters Patent No. 9,757, dated' J une 14, 1881.

Original No. 205,448, dated June 25, 187B. Application for reissue filed May 21, 1881.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsABELLA J. VANSKEL- LINE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of N ewYork,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrappers for `.Bonbons 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to kcertain improvements in wrappers for caramels, bonbons, confections, and the like, and also to linings for boxes of various descriptions.

The invention further relates to an improved method of tinting in various designs on paper, and ornamenting papers for wrapping bonbons, mottoes, comts, caramels, stickcandy, and for other like purposes, and preserving the tints and forms of the same afterward, as more fully hereinafter specified.

Bonbon-wrappers for the purposes designed have necessarily to be constructed of the thinnest and lightest papers, known in the market as tissue-paper, in order to produce the proper graceful effect necessary to the production of an article of the proper ornamentalnature. As heretofore formed, serious objections have arisen, consequent to the thinness and flimsiness ofthe sheets, owing to which the papers cannot be made to assume and hold the desired graceful and artistic forms,'the articles, after being made, readily assuming a shapeless and confused condition, highly detrimental to the proper` ornamental effect.

The object of my invention is to obviate these objections, and to impart to the papers, or certain parts of the same, a boldly-defined form or shape or configuration, and at the same time give sufficient strength and stiffness to such portions as to enable the articles to permanently retain their form under all circumstances also, to render the articles more iiowery, artistic, and highly ornamental in appearance' than heretofore.

To this end my invention consists in first imparting to bonbon-wrappers the requisite forms and designs by embossing and tinting such portions in such manner as to form a series of clearly and boldly defined patterns on paper, which designs will greatly enhance the beauty of the ornamental parts. After the embossing, tinting, and dyeing of the paper, I saturate the same with wax or parafline, so as to render itwater-proof, and at the same time heighten the colors and render them more brilliant, thus providing an improved 0rnamental wrapper for bonbons, caramels, or the like, or a lining for boxes. The papers are then fringed, punctured, scalloped, or corrugated at their edges, so as to give an ornamental or eXtra-ornamental appearance to the said edges.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represent one of 65 the forms of my improved sheet of prepared paper. Fig. 2 is a view of another form of the ornamental paper 5 Fig. 3, another form of the ornamental sheet, showing the edges fringed; and Fig. t, a view of the sheet formed u p into a liower or rose.

' In the drawings, the letter A indicates the sheet of paper, which is punctured and ornamented as desired, and then tinted, either superticially orbodily, as may be deemed best. After this the whole sheet is partly or thoroughly saturated with wax, parafne, or any similar substance that will impart waterprpof qualities to the paper and protection to the colorillg-matter thereon.

It will be observed that the configuration of the edges of the sheet of paper serves the double purpose of ornamenting it, and at the same time, by reason ot' the waxy solution to a body that may be made to take'and hold any -shape desired, which is peculiarly applicable to the manufacture of wrappers for bonbons, or the papers for the same, as more fully hereinafter specified. l

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The method of ornainentin g bonbon-wrappers herein described, by lirst embossing and ornamenting portions thereof, then tinting the same, and finally waxing or saturating the same with wax, parafliue, or other similar substance, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a sheet IOO of paper having a portion of its body out, In testimony that I claim the foregoing I fringed, or punctured and tinted, and the have hereunto set my hand this 29th day of 1o Whole saturated with Wax, substantially as April, 188]..

s Speid I. J. VAN sKELLINE.

3. A sheet of paper having a portion of its body punotured and tinted, and the whole Witnesses: covered with a film of wax, as a new article of OHAS. L. GGOMBS, manufacture. E. E. MASSON.
