The Manufacture or Production of Toys or like Articles of Paper or
other suitable Material, chiefly for Advertising Purposes.
I, MONTAGUE LOUIS JONAS, of 12 and 13, Stonecutter Street, in the City of
London, Printer and Publisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture or production of articles of paper or
other suitable material, chiefly for advertising purposes, and it has reference
more particularly to the construction of miniature or toy furniture from single
blanks of such material
An important feature of the said invention consists in stamping the art cle
out of the said material in such a manner that they can be folded into the shape
deaned, and when so folded will faithfully represent the piece of furniture com-
plete with the various articles which are usually associated therewith, as if these
fatter were occupying their ordinary positions
To this end, blanks are stamped out to the required shape, and when of paper,
cardboard, or the like, are then perforated, indented, or scored along the lines
on which they are to be folded. The outlines of the articles are also stamped or
cut in the blank, care being taken, however, that those parts which are to colle-
spond to the base or bottom of the article are left uncut.
When the blank is folded to the shape of the piece of furniture, or other object,
it is to represent, those portions which are cut or stamped, as above referred to,
can be raised and turned into an upught, or approximately upright, position,
so that they have the appearance of resting on the piece of furniture.
The advertisements may be printed or impressed ou, or otherwise applied to,
such parts of the blanks as will be in a prominent position after folding
The various portions of the blank are advantageously coloured to better repe-
sent the parts they are intended for, and suitable tenons or projections on some of
the parts are adapted to enter corresponding slits in other of the parts so keeping
said parts together when folded, and rendering the article or object rigid
As an example of one mode of carrying out the invention, and for producing
Eay a miniature or toy dressing-table, the blank may consist of a rectangulai
cential or body portion representing the top of the dressing table
Four flaps
or wings project from the edges of this portion, whereof one represents the front
of the table, two others the ends on sides, and the fourth the mirio
The various
parts are coloured according to the parts they are intended for
In the aforesaid cential or body portion of the blank, may be cut in outline
various articles appertaining to a diessing or toilet-table, such as cand'e sticks,
puff box, bottles for scent, hair wash, etc The portions thus cut are also colomed
in an appropriate manne
Suitable lugs or projections cut in the blanks at the rear of the table serve to
hold the minio in position
The advertisements may be printed for example across the minor, and may pre-
ferably relate to articles used for toilet purposes
Other advertisements may be

page_text: provided on the bottles, or other articles on the table, and these latter may be
made to conform to the shape of the bottles in which the articles they advertise
are usually retailed
-
As another example, the blank may be so cut that when folded it represents
a tea-table with the cloth spread, and the cups, saucers, bottles, loaf, and various
other articles in position thereon. One of the parts of the blank may be cut and
coloured in such a manner that when folded into position it represents a child
sitting at the table
According to another arrangement, a stall, with an attendant serving at the same,
may be cut in a blank capable of being folded, as described
Blanks of the kind referred to may be retailed in boxes, each containing enough
blanks to form a complete set of furniture, say for a doll's house, and, if desired,
each article may bear an appropriate advertisement
These blanks, prepared as above described, may moreover very conveniently
he distributed by being slipped into magazines, periodicals, etc, and will serve both
as toys for children, and as neat and attractive media for advertisements

The Manufacture or Production of Toys or like Articles of Paper or
other suttable Material, chiefly for Advertising Purposes.
I, MONTAGUE LOUIS JONAS, of 12 and 13, Stonecutter Street, in the City of
London, Printer and Publisher, 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, reference being had to the accom-
panying diawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is to say..
This invention' relates to the manufacture or production of articles of paper, or
other suitable material, chiefly for advertising purposes, and it has reference
more particularly to the construction of miniature or toy furniture from single
blanks of such material
An important feature of the said invention consists in stamping the articles
out of the material in such a manner that they can be folded into the shape
desired, and when so folded will faithfully represent the piece of furniture com-
plete with the various articles which are usually associated therewith, as if these
latten were occupying the ordinary positions
And in order that my invention may be readily understood, I will describe the
same fully with reference to the accompanying drawings which are merely given
as examples
Fig 1 is a plan of a blank for a dressing table
Fig. 2 represents the said dressing table as it appears when the blank is folded
Figs 3 and 4 are corresponding views representing respectively a blank for
forming a tov wash-stand, and also the same when folded.
Figs 5 and 6 show, in its open or flat and in its folded positions, respectively,
a blank representing a tea table with the cloth spread and a child sitting at it
Refering to Figs 1 and 2, the blank comprises a cential or body portion
representing the top of the table On this portion of the blank are marked out
a pair of candle sticks b a scent bottle c, a nuff box d, a spray-producere, and
a pan of tinket boxes f These latter portions are partly cut or stamped out,

page_text: leaving however their bottom edges uncut so that they can be turned up into a
vertical position, as in Fig. 2, and thus give a realistic appearance to the toy when
viewed from the front
From the central or body portion a extend four flaps or wings a¹, a², a³, aª,
the first of which is so shaped and coloured as to represent the minion of the dress-
ing table, the second and third the sides on ends thereof, and the fourth the front
Certain of the other parts or fittings of the dressing table, such as the mats,
drawers, mirions, and hand glass, are simply represented by suitably printing
and colouring the blank at the required places
To facilitate the folding of the blank to the desued shape, it is scored, indented,
or perforated along the lines g on which the folding is to take place
Suitable rests are also provided at the rear of the central portion a, so that
when turned up, as indicated in Fig 2, they serve to support the mirror portion a¹
The sides a³, a³, are provided with small tenons or tongues which, when the
blank is folded, fit into corresponding slits in the front a' and keep these parts
in the proper positions.
Referring to Figa. and 4, which represent a tor wash stand, a is. as before,
the central or body portion of the blank, and forms the top of the stand, a¹ is the
back thereof, as, a³, the sides, and at the front
b, c, d, are the portions which are turned up to represent articles in their
ordinary places on the stand, 6 representing the ewer and basin and the dishes at
each side thereof, c the water bottle, and d the tray for bushes, and the like
a³ are two small projecting portions which can be folded to represent brackets
supporting the back of the stand, as in Fig 2 Tenons or tongues are provided,
when necessary, to engage in corresponding slits 2 for the same purpose as in the
previous arrangement.
Referring now to Figs 5 and 6, the central portion a forming the table top has
represented thereon a loaf of bread 6 standing on a tray, a biscuit box c, and a
plate d
The portions representing the loaf of bread and the biscuit box are
adapted to be turned into an upright position as in Fig 6
The flap or wing a¹ in this case represents the child sitting at the table while
the flaps a³, a and a are coloured and shaded to represent the table cloth
k, k, are small projecting poitions which when the flaps are turned down,
represent the feet of the table projecting below the cloth
In this case, tenons or tongues are provided both on the hands of the child and
on the side flaps a³, a³, these tenons being adapted to enter corresponding slits,¹
in the top a and front flap at
The advertisements may be printed, impressed, or otherwise applied to such
parts of the blanks as will be in a prominent position after folding For example,
in Figs. 1 and 2 they may be printed on the mirrors and preferably relate to
articles used for toilet purposes, while in Figs 5 and 6, they may be printed on the
loaf of bread, and on the biscuit box, or on the table cloth, and may relate to articles
of food.
In fact, the various articles on the table may be provided with appropriate
advertisements and where practicable, be shaped to resemble the bottles, boxes,
o cases in which the gonds they advertise are usually put on the market.
Blanks of the kind referied to may be retailed in boxes, each containing enough
to form a complete set of furniture, say for a doll's house, and, if desued, each
article may bear an appropriate advertisement.
These blanks, prepared as above described, may moreover very conven'ently
be distributed by being slipped into magazines, neriodicals, and the like and will
seive both as toys for children and as neat and attractive media for advertisements
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my sa'd
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 18
1 Toy furniture for use as advertising media, in which in order to represent

page_text: various articles standing thereon, the blank from which the said furniture is folded
is provided with integral portions or tongues adapted to be turned into an upright
position, said portions or tongues being cut to the shape of the articles they repre-
sent, and being coloured and shaded to correspond therewith, substantially as
described
2 My toy dressing table suitable as an advertising medium, as described with
reference to Figs 1 and 2 of the annexed diawings.
My tov wash stand suitable as an advertising medium, as described with
reference to Figs 3 and 4 of the annexed drawings
4 My toy tea-table suitable as an advertising medium, as described with refer-
ence to Figs. 5 and 6 of the annexed diawings
5 The manufacture and use of toys, or like ait cles, of paper or other suitable
material, for advertising purposes, substantially as herembefore described
