Complete Specification Left, 31st May, 1898-Accepted, 23rd July, 1898
I, ALFRED LOUIS EDOUARD CASPAR, Gentleman, of 35, Rue du Chateau, La Garenne
Colombes, Seine Department, in the Republic of France, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The advertising is made on hygienic closet papers or napkins and such like them-
selves, but it can also be made on special sheets perforated at various distances.
In performing the invention I adopt two types of napkins claiming the right to
apply it on all other types.
These two types are:-1, That having the form of rollers; 2, that having the
form of a tablet. The roller form is made by the simultaneous rolling on the same
axle of two bands of paper of any form, size and colour; the one band placed over
the other will form the succession of napkins themselves, or for advertising, the
second band placed under the first will be perforated with holes, dispersed over its
surface, and to serve consequently only as advertising sheets and never as
napkins.
The tablet form comprises equally two types of alternated sheets, the napkin and
the perforated sheet intended exclusively for receiving advertisements.
In the two cases the number of napkins and advertising sheets alternating is
optional.

A New or Improved Means for Advertising.
I, ALFRED LOUIS EDOUARD CASPAR, Gentleman, of 35, Rue du Chateau, La Garenne
Colombes, Seine Department, in the Republic of France, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved means for advertising on hygienic closet
papers and such like, but which is preferably made on special sheets, arranged with
the said hygienic papers and having perforations from distance to distance on their
whole surface so as to be in themselves useless as closet papers.
The sheets forming the hygienic closet papers and the perforated sheets for the
advertisements can be of any colour or colours and can be arranged in rolls or
superposed in a book or tablet form, the perforated sheets for advertising alter-
nately in the latter case with the sheets forming the closet paper proper.

page_text: The annexed drawing represents the invention with the papers arranged in the
form of a roll and also in book form.
In the annexed drawing,
Fig. 1 is a front view of the roll form.
Fig. 2 is a section on line 1-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a front view in elevation of the book or tablet form.
Fig. 4 is a section on line 3-4 of Fig. 3.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the roll of the hygienic paper for advertising is formed by roll-
ing simultaneously on the same core a, the paper band b, forming the succession of
the papers proper themselves, and the band c placed under the first one and perfor-
ated with holes o scattered on its surface and serving thus only for advertising.
The whole can be carried by a vertical board & which is fixed on the wall. In
this case the axle a will be preferably the one of the long sides of a rectangle the
opposite side a¹ of which will be maintained loosely in a longitudinal channel pro-
vided in the back surface of the board. A blade spring r fixed on one end on the
board will press constantly on the roller in order to prevent the bands b and c from
unrolling or being unrolled too quickly.
Figs. 3 and 4 show a book or tablet form of the hygienic papers for advertising.
On a board or card board sheet f there are alternately superposed the paper g and
the perforated sheets h for receiving the advertisements. A card board or other
band is placed on the pile of sheets thus formed, along the one of its small sides
and it is fixed on the board f, either by nails which traverse the sheets g and h or
in any other manner.
In the two cases roll form and book form, the arrangement and number of papers
and of advertising sheets can be as required. Between two bands or two papers
one can arrange one or more bands or sheets for advertising, and in the same manner
between two bands or sheets for advertising one can arrange one or more bands or
sheets for toilet purposes.
These hygienic closet papers with special perforated sheets for advertising can be
used in any system of automatic or not automatic distributors for hygienic papers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The improved means for advertising on or by the use of hygienic toilet paper.
2. The improved means for advertising in which the advertising is made on the
hygienic papers themselves.
3. The improved means for advertising in which the advertising
special sheets, arranged with the hygienic papers and perforated from
distance on their whole surface in order to make their use as toilet papers
impossible.
4. The hygienic or toilet papers in a roll for the purpose of advertisi
comprising essentially two bands of paper in any colour rolled simultaneously on
the same axle, the one of these bands being placed on the other and of which the
one forms the succession of toilet papers themselves, and the other is perforated with
holes scattered on its surface for the purpose of serving only for advertising.
5. The hygienic or toilet papers in book or tablet form for advertising comprising
two types of alternated sheets, being respectively the toilet paper and the sheet
perforated from distance to distance on its whole surface and intended exclusively
for receiving advertisements.
