COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Stick, Rod, or Bar formed of a Tightly Rolled Strip of Paper or
other Fabric having Printed Matter thereon, applicable as a
Handle for Carrying Parcels and the like.
We, BRUNO POLEY, Lithographer, NIKOLAUS MEHLER, Painter, and JACOB AVASCH,
Merchant, all of Nevsky 82, St. Petersburg, Russia, do hereby declare the nature

page_text: of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement: —
This invention has for its object an improved stick to be used as a handle for
carrying wrapped-or tied articles.
This stick is made of a strip of paper or other similar material, such as silk,
calico, oil cloth and the like, which strip is tightly rolled by machinery or by
hand SO as to form a short stick, the end of the strip being fixed
by pasting, tying, enclosing in a sheath or in other like manner.
In this form the rolled stick is well adapted for use as a handle for carrying all
sorts of packages, wrapped or tied articles and the like, in lieu of an ordinary
wooden stick.
A further peculiarity of this improved rolled stick is that the paper strip may
have printed on it all sorts of matter, such as advertisements, literature, designs
and the like for use and entertainment, so that when unrolled it gives useful or
entertaining matter for reading.
In order to use this stick as a handle for carrying packages, it is attached at its
middle point to the string with which the package is bound.
It must be observed that the improved roll stick, independently of its applica-
tion for carrying tied packages, may be used also as a very convenient form for
printed matters of all kinds in lieu of large sheets now in use, as for instance
for newspapers, advertisements &c.
The invention is shewn on the accompanying drawings in which Figures 1 and 2
show an unrolled strip of paper, cloth &c. serving for the above described stick
or rod; Figures 3 and 4 shew the strip partly rolled up; Figure 5 is a side view
of the rolled strip ready for use; Figures 6 and 7 shew transverse and longi-
tudinal sections thereof; Figures 8 and 9 shew the mode of using the rolled strip
or stick for carrying parcels; Figures 10 and 11 shew the mode of securing the
stick to parcels; Figure 12 shews the stick in the act of being unrolled for reading
the printed matter thereon, and Figure 13 shews the stick partly enclosed in
a sheath.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is-
-
A stick rod or bar applicable as a handle for carrying parcels, and the like,
consisting of a tightly rolled strip of paper, cloth, or other suitable fabric, having
printed matter thereon and secured in the rolled condition by pasting, tying,
enclosing in a sheath, or the like, substantially as described.
