To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES P. Krasn- BAUER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofthe city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Shipping-Tao Envelop, of which the following is a full, 0 ear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to provide means for reinforcing the portion of an envelop of the character mentioned to which is attached the devices whereby the envelop is secured to the article shipped; to facilitate the introduction of the tying device; and to simplify the construction of the envelop.

Drawings.

Figure 1 is a' side view of an envelop constructed and arranged in accordance wlth the present invention; I

Fig. 2 is a detail view of the same showing the parts of the lower end of the envelop spread to receive the fastenin device;

Fig. 3 is a detail view 0 the blank of which the envelop is constructed.

Description.

As seen in the drawings, the completed envelop has side scams 8, which are integral with the body portion 9 and fold over to be pasted upon the back portion 10. The back portion 10 and the flap portion 11 are folded on the body portion 9 at the fold lines indicated by the numerals 12 and 13 in Fig. 3.

Before folding the back portion 10 and the i flap portion 11 upon the body portion 9, reinforcing patches 14 are adhered to the blank, said patches extending across the lines 12 and 13. When thus adhered, the patches 14 and associated envelop structure are punched to provide the perforations 15, which are alined when said back and flap are folded on the body 9. The perforations 15 are connected by an S-shaped slit 16. The ends of the slit 16 open in to the perforations 15 and in relatively opposite directions. The slit it forms channels through which may be forced tying strings for securing the envelop in service. When the back portion 10 and flap portion 11 are folded over the body portion 9, it will be observed that the edges of the opposite ends of the envelop are severed by the slit 16, the folded portion whereof affords access to the string or tying cord.

The sections 17 and 18 of the reinforcing patches and associate structure form in conunction with the perforations l5, hook-like structures which cotiperate to hold the tying cord 1n the perforations 15, or, in other words, to prevent the escape therefrom. It will be noticed, too, that the unbroken walls of the perforations 15 are turned toward the edge 0 the folded members of the envelop. All stralns exerted on the tying cord placed in these perforations, pull in this direction, with the result that the maximum of resistance of the reinforcing patches is obtained by the structure.
