PACKAGE FOR ICE-CREAM AND WRAPPER THEREFOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 676,213, dated June 1 1, 1901.

Applicationfilerl July 6, 1900.

To all whmn it may concern:

Be itknown that I, WILLIAM WAUD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages for Ice-Cream and Wrappers Therefor; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The objects of this invention are to facilitate the work of wrapping boxes of uniform size and more particularly boxes containing pints or quarts of ice-cream, to provide a package that will be more convenient for handlin g, and to secure other advantages and re sults, some of which may be referred to hereinafter in connection with the description of the working parts.

The invention consists in the improved wrapper, inlthe improved package, and in the arrangements and combinations of parts, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finally embraced in the clauses of the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the views, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved package, and Fig. 2 is a plan of the wrapper in detail.

In said drawings, a indicates the body of the wrapper, comprising an oblong piece of.

paper having in its shorter axis two short slits or slots 1) 1), formed a little back from the longer edges 0 c of said sheet, one slot being formed near one edge and the other slot being near the opposite edge. 01 indicates a cord or tape, doubled as shown, and the opposite ends tied or otherwise fastened together, as at e, to form a continuous or endless tying and carrying cord. The opposite ends of said doubled endless tape or cord are thrust through the slots 7), and between said slots on the inner side of the package the said tape is preferably glued or cemented fast to the face of the sheet. This sheet is sized to inclose a box of agiven size, so that when Serial No. 22,6 '74. (No model.)

the said box is inclosed in the wrapper in the manner indicated in Fig. 1 the end laps fof the folded paper at the opposite ends of the package have the slots centrally disposed therein, and the opposite free projecting ends of the continuous carrying cord or tape form end loops d and extend out from said slots, where they may be easily caught by the hooks g of. the handpieee h. Thus the endless tape or cord d extends beneath the package to support the same, the central part of said cord lying longitudinally beneath the box on the inner side of the wrapper and the ends projecting out, as before mentioned, and lying on the outside of the laps f, holding said laps against the body of the package when the loops are caught by the hooks attached to the handle, so that there is no danger of any unfolding of the wrapper.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is- 1. Awrapper forice-cream boxes, 820., comprising an oblong sheet of Wrapping-paper having on its shorter axis slits formed transverse to said shorter axis, a doubled cord lying along said shorter axis and passing through the slits, the said slits being separated and disposed a distance from the longer axis of the sheet and adapted to permit the disposition of the box to be wrapped lengthwise therebetween and the protruding ends or loops of the doubled cord being adapted to hold the adjacent folds of the folded wrapping-sheet against the ends of the box when folded and to receive hooks at the opposite ends of a handle above the box, substantially as set forth.

' 2. Awrapper for ice-creamboxes,&c., comprising a sheet of wrapping-paper adapted to be wrapped around the top, bottom and sides of a box and folded in upon each end, said sheet having near each end of a transverse line extending between the margins adapted to be folded in upon the ends of the box slits or apertures, and a tape or cord disposed and arranged transversely between the said margins of the sheet adapted to be folded in upon the ends of the box and having its ends thrust through the said slits or apertures and adapted to hold in place the said margins when folded in upon the ends of a box, and the said ends of the tape or cord which projeot through the slitsior apertures providing loops adapted to receive hooks at the opposite ends of a handle above the box, substantially as set forth. 4'.

3. The combination with a box, of a wrapper comprising a sheet of wrappingpaper wrapped around said box and being pressed in at the ends from the top and side edges and forming a lap folded'against the end of the box from the bottom edge, a cord or tape lying between said wrapper and the bottom of the box and having looped or doubled ends projectingthrough slits in the said endlaps an (1' reaching upward over the opposite top edges of thebox, said loops pressing-the laps against the ends of the box and being adapted to reoeive hooks at the opposite ends of a handle, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of 20
