JAMES D. REIFSNYDER, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO STOKES &
SMITH COMPANY, OF SUMMERDALE, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORA- TION OF PENNSYLVANIA.
WRAPPED PACKAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 26, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES D. REIrsNY- DER a citizen of the United States, residing in lney, Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Wrapped Packages, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the wrapping of small articles of regular form, that is, having opposite parallel faces, and an obj ect of the invention is to produce a wrapped article of this form embodying a wrapper of very simple form which is applied to the article so as to leave aportion of one face of the article exposed to view, but with the wrapper applied in such a way that it retains itself upon the article. l/Vhile the invention may be applied in the wrapping of an article of any kind, having opposite par allel faces, it is very useful when employed in the wrapping of books or catalogues to prepare them for being sent through the mail, the general purpose being in this instance, to leave exposed a portion of the book or catalogue so that the character of the contents of the package will be evident to the eye.
A further object of the invention is to attain my objects by using a wrapper of very simple form applied in a very simple manner and in such a way that if desired, the wrapper can be applied readily by machinery.
Further objects of the invention will ap pear hereinafter.
The invention resides in the wrapped article forming the subject matter of the present invention.
The invention consists in the wrapped article or book having features of the invention set forth hereinafter.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective showing substantially the first step or act of applying the wrapper to a book.
Fig. 2 is a perspective showing substantially the second step or act in applying the wrapper.
Fig. 3 is a perspective showing substantially the next step or act in applying the wrapper.
Fig. 4 is an end elevation showing the upper or lower end of the book and illusrectangular form and of slightly greater width than the book 2 to which the wrapper is to be applied; near the middle portions of a longitudinal edge and one of the end.
edges I prefer to provide adhesive zones or areas 3 and 4; the article to be wrapped which is supposed to have opposite parallel faces, for example, a book, is then laid upon the wrapperso that its length extend with the length of the wrapper and the upper edge 6 and lower edge 7 of the wrapper are then folded in succession down upon the front side 5 of the book and overlapping each other in the manner indicated in Fig. 2 so that the adhesive zone t comes between the overlapping edges and secures these edges together lying flatly against the upper side of the book, and so that the Wrapper forms an envelop fitting snugly or neatly around the book. In this way the edges 6 and 7 unite to form an upper covering flap 8 for the upper side of the book and the body portion of the wrapper forms a lower covering flap 9 for the lower side of the book. These flaps present integral front extensions 10 which project beyond and overhang the forward edge 11 of the book. A portion of the wrapper or envelop forms an edge flap 12 covering the upper edge of the book, and another portion of the wrapper forms an edge flap 13 covering the lower edge of the book and these upper and lower edge flaps 1:2 and 13 have front extensions it at the front edge of the book and back extensions 15 at the back of the book. I proceed to fold in the extensions 1% against the front edge 11 of the book preferably substantially as shown in Fig. 3, that is in such a way as to enable the edges 10 to be folded down successively, and so that the adhesive area 3 wi-l secure these edges together and close the vrapper at the forward edge of the book. I also fold inwardly the edge extensions 15 so that they lie flat against the back 16 of the book (see Fig. 6) and this leaves the back edge of the partially wrapped book with two backwardly projecting extensions 17 which form integral extensions from the side flaps 8 and 9 of the wrapper. I then place adhesive 18 on the outer faces of these projecting extensions, and I then fold these extensions 17 outwardly in the manner indicated in Fig. 7 and then press them. down flatly against the outer side faces of the wrapper so that they become secured in this position (see Fig. 8), By folding inwardly the extensions 15 in the manner indicated in Fig. 6, a back flap. extension 20 is formed which. lies flat across and against the back edge or face of the book and when the flaps 17 are folded over, a gusset fold flap 19 is formed which lies fiat upon the outer side of the side flaps: and connects the side flap extension 17 with the back flap.
By applying a wrapper toa book or catalogue in the manner described, it is evident that the flap extensions 20 will leave a large portion of the back 16 of the book exposed to view so that it will be evident to the eye that the package contains a book; the back flaps 2O lying as they do, near the ends of the book engage the adjacent ends of the back of the book and retain the book in. the wrapper, that is they prevent the wrapper from being slid ofi the book.
At the side flaps 17 evidently there are two thicknesses of material thereby effecting a substantial reinforcement of the material at the edges of the opening which is formed between the flaps 20.
While I prefer to employ two back flap extensions 20 it is obvious that if only one such extension were employed it would still operate to retain the book within the wrapper.
It is evident that all, of the operations described above are very simple and could readily be performed by machinery and consequently the practice of my invention enables large quantities of books or catalogues to be wrapped very economically for mailing purposes. If desired, the adhesive which is used may be applied in a moist state to the wrapper or if desired, it may be used as a dr gum which is previously applied to the wrapper and which is moistened thereafter to enable it toadhere to the parts which it is intended to attach together.
While the invention is particularly useful when applied to a book or catalogue, it is evident that it may be applied in the wrap ping of any article whichis to have an exposed or partially exposed face after being wrapped,
It is understood that the particular relation of the wrapper to the article and manner of folding the wrapper about the article suggested above, is suggested only by way of example and I do not limit myself to that particular relation of the wrapper and the article. One of the es ential features however, is t iat in applying the wrapper to the article a face of the article is left exposed and an integral portion of the wrapper is folded across and. against the exposed face to retain the wrapper on the article. When this invention is practised, it is unnecessary to use wrapper blanks with sight openings cut therein which would entail a waste of paper.
it is also understood that the embodiment of the invention set forth herein is only one of the many embodiments or forms theinvention may take, and I do not wish; to be limited in the practice of the invention nor in my claims to the particular embodiment set forth.
What I claim is 1. A wrapped package comprising an al' ticle and a wrapper applied, thereto and se' cured thereon, said wrapper being of greater dimensions than the article and folded about and completely enveloping all walls of the article except one, the article serving as a form during the folding operation, said,
