An Improved Packing Box for Plush.
A communication by RUDOLPH THYSSEN, of 49, Rheinstrasse, Crefeld, in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturer.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E. of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6 Bank Street, Manchester,
both in the County of Lancaster and 31 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Civil Engineer, 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 has for its object an improved packing box for plush, and is
characterized by an arrangement on the inner face of two opposite sides of the
packing box, of angle pieces, the free arms or strips of which are provided with
teeth or points. This improvement has the great advantage that plush packed in
such boxes is not compressed and that the formation of creases is avoided. The
invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in
which―
Figure 1 is a side view of such an angle piece having saw-like and pointed
teeth on the projecting strip or strips, which teeth are formed on the longitudinal
edges of said strips;
Figure 2 shows a device similar to Figure 1, the fixed arm of the angle piece
being provided with strips to be passed through the side of the box and bent round
and secured thereto;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a modification of the arrangement shown in Figure 1, in which, in
each strip, a tooth is stamped out and bent round to form a point;
Figure 5 is a view in perspective of Figure 4;
Figure 6 shows a second modification of Figure 1 where the end of the strip is
pointed and bent round to form a hook.

In the form of construction shown in Figures 6 to 8, the arms or strips c are
provided at their ends with one or more hoaked points f.
The mode of using this box is as follows:-
The plush g (Figures 9 and 10) is passed to and fro between two sides of the
box over the toothed or pointed arms or strips c, so that it forms, in the packing
box, folds separated from one another, and is protected from any compression.

page_text: Any formation of creases in the plush is thus completely prevented because it
remains stretched in the box.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
An improved packing box for plush characterized by the arrangement on the
inner face of two opposite sides of the packing box, of angle pieces, the free or
projecting arms or strips of which are formed with saw-like teeth, on their
longitudinal edges, or with stamped out points or teeth on their flat faces, or with
one or more hook-shaped points at their ends, in such a way that the plush may be
passed to and fro between and over the said arms or strips and hooked fast
onto the longitudinal edges or points, with the object of preventing compression
of the plush or the formation of creases in the same, substantially as described
and illustrated.
