COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wrappers_for Bottles, Boxes, and other such
Packages.
I, SOLOMON TAYLOR of 16 Langley Road Small Heath, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Commercial Traveller do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for its object improvements in wrappers for bottles boxes and
other such packages and is particularly adapted for such bottles as those containing
medicine whereby they can be wrapped much more expeditiously than hitherto
while not nearly so much experience is required to form a neat package and this
without any material increase in the cost of the wrapper.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which I have shown examples which fully illustrate the nature of my said
improvements.
Figure 1., is a view of a wrapper spread out with a bottle on it ready for being
wrapped.
Figure 2., is a view of the same wrapper when partly wrapped around the
bottle.
Figure 3., is a view showing the bottle wrapped complete.
Figure 4., is a view of the centre part of a wrapper showing a modification in the
shape to suit an oval bottle.
Figure 5., is a view of an oval bottle wrapper complete.
In carrying my invention into effect I form my wrapper A of paper or other
flexible material which can be suitably adapted for the purpose of wrapping and
enclosing all kinds and shapes of bottles, boxes, and other small packages. The
wrapper is cut a suitable size and with the projecting tabs a¹ and a at the top and
bottom as shown in Figure 1 and is made adhesive as shown at e¹ and e³ for the
purpose of securing the wrapper upon the article. The simplicity of the process of
using these wrappers will be readily understood by reference to Figures 1, 2, and 3,
in Figure 1 of which the bottle B is laid on the wrapper in position for being
wrapped which is effected by bringing the two edges a' and a over into and
[Price 8d1

page_text: turning them over as shown at a Figure 2 after which the top a' of the sides are
pressed in and the top and bottom tabs a¹ and a² are wrapped over and secured by
first damping the adhesive substance the wrapping being then finished as shown at
Figure 3. Of course the shape of the tabs a' and a² may be varied to suit the
shape of the article to be wrapped as for instance in the case of a round bottle the
bottom tab would be shaped as shown by a³ in Figure 5 and may only have one
tab or more than two if I so desire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The improvements in wrappers for bottles, boxes, and other such packages, of
the adhesive tabs substantially such as and for the purpose herein described and
shown upon the accompanying drawing.
