Improvements in Paper Bags for Sugar and other Loose Articles.
We, HERBERT GREEN, Grocer and Provision Dealer, Church Town, Killamarsh,
and HERBERT DUKE, Paper Bag Manufacturer, of 6, Paradise Street, Sheffield,
both in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is, (1,) to construct paper bags such as are commonly
used by grocers and others for holding sugar and the like loose articles and
materials which shall not be so liable to waste their contents by leakage as is the
case in bags of this description as ordinarily made. (2) To dispense with the
use of twine.
We effect this by providing the bags or the paper from which the bags are
made with one or more flaps, such flaps being partially or wholly attached to the
inside or outside of the said bags, or the flaps may be formed of the same piece of
paper out of which the bag is made, or may be attached to the piece of paper out
of which the bag is made, either before or after the bag is constructed.
Although our invention is applicable to a variety of forms of bag, it is more
particularly applicable to two classes, namely.
First, a bag which is folded out of one piece of paper in rectangular or circular
form, the joints or seams of which being secured by paste, gum, or the like
adhesive substance. In such a bag, the flap or flaps may be provided out of the
paper of which the bag is itself made so that it is unnecessary to attach them
by adhesive material or otherwise or the flap or flaps may be secured in the
desired position within the bag after the bag has been folded, or they may be
secured to the paper before it is folded to form the bag.
Secondly, In bags which are generally made by grocers and others themselves,
in conical form. In bags of this description the flap or flaps would be attached
to the paper before it was folded. In either case the flap or flaps would be made
use of in the same or similar manner which would be as follows.
When the bag has been filled, and before the mouth is closed, the inside flap
or the inside flaps are first turned down upon the surface of the contents and
pressed down towards the sides of the bag after which the mouth of the bag is
closed in the ordinary way when it will be found that by means of the auxiliary
cover, which is formed within the bag by the flap or flaps as herein described, the
liability to leakage has been reduced to a minimum and the contents of the bag
much more effectively secured than is the case with bags as ordinarily made,
without the use of twine.

We, HERBERT GREEN, Grocer and Provision Dealer, Church Town, Killamarsh,
and HERBERT DUKE, Paper Bag Manufacturer, of 6, Paradise Street, Sheffield,
both in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed. to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-
The object of our invention is, (1,) to construct paper bags such as are commonly

to the paper before it was folded, in either case the flap or flaps would be made
use of in the same or similar manner which would be as follows.
When the bag has been filled, and before the mouth is closed, the inside flap
or the inside flaps are first turned down upon the surface of the contents and
pressed down towards the sides of the bag after which the mouth of the bag is
closed in the ordinary way when it will be found that by means of the auxiliary
cover, which is formed within the bag by the flap or flaps as herein described, the
liability to leakage has been reduced to a minimum and the contents of the bag
much more effectively secured than is the case with bags as ordinarily made,
without the use of twine.
Our invention will be better understood on reference to the accompanying two
sheets of drawings, in which,
Fig. 1, Sheet 1, represents a piece of paper for the formation of a bag of
rectangular form, with the flap, A, provided out of the paper of which the bag
is itself made.
Fig. 2, represents the same piece of paper with the flap, A, folded on to the
side, G.
Fig. 3, represents A and 1 folded over on to the side, H.
Fig. 4, represents the same parts as are shewn in Fig. 3, with the lip, I, turned
over and secured to G.
Fig. 5, represents the same parts, the lower end being turned for the formation
of the bottom of the bag at the dotted lines as shewn in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6, represents the turned up end with the corners, J and K, bent inwards
and secured so as to lie flat in line with the side of the bag.

page_text: Fig. 7, shews the corners, L, M, further turned over and secured.
Fig. 8, shews the portion forming the bottom of the bag with the turned down
parts L and M, bent inwards face to face.
Fig. 9, is a side view of the same.
Figs. 10 and 11, are a side view and plan of the bag when filled for use as
indicated by the dotted shade lines.
Figs. 12 and 13, represent the same bag with the inside flap, A, turned down
upon the material contained in the bag.
Figs. 14 and 15, represent the same bag with the outside wall, C, turned down
over the flap, A.
Figs. 16 and 17, represent the same bag with the outside walls, D and E,
turned down over the wall, C.
Figs. 18 and 19, represent the same bag with the outside wall, F, turned down
over the walls, D and E.
Fig. 20, Sheet 2, represents a piece of paper for the formation of a similar bag
to that illustrated on Sheet 1, in which the flap, A, is attached to the paper, before
the bag is made, by adhesive material at B.
Fig. 21, represents a piece of paper for the formation of a bag of conical form
in which the flap, A, has likewise been attached by adhesive material at B.
Fig. 22, represents the same piece of paper shewn in Fig. 21, partly folded to
form a conical or cup shaped bag.
Fig. 23, shews the same completely folded.
Fig. 24, shews the same with the flap, A, folded in upon the contents.
Figs. 25 and 26, represent an elevation and plan with the front wall, C, folded
forward over the top of the flap, A.
Figs. 27 and 28, represent the same bag with the side walls D and E, folded
in upon, C.
Figs. 29 and 30, represent the back, F, folded down on to D and E, and turned
under the same.
The same letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. In paper bags for sugar and other loose articles providing an internal flap, A,
in the manner and for the purposes substantially as herein described and illus-
trated.
2. In paper bags for sugar and other loose articles, arranging, cutting and
folding the paper from which the bags are made so as to form an internal flap, A,
in the manner and for the purposes substantially as herein described and illus-
trated in Fig. 1 to 19.
3. In paper bags for sugar and other loose articles providing and attaching to
the paper of which the bag is made, an internal flap, A, in the manner and for the
purposes substantially as herein described and illustrated in Fig. 20.
4. In paper bags for sugar and other loose articles providing and attaching to
the paper of which the bag is made an internal flap, A, in the manner and for
the purposes substantially as herein described and illustrated in Figs. 21 to 30.
