Improvements in Wrapping Paper.
I, JOHN CHARLES KAYE, of 5 Market Place, Wakefield, in the County of
York, Grocer and Provision Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the paper or papers used in wrapping oleaginous or
moist articles, such as butter, lard, certain kinds of provisions, sweets, and the
like. For this purpose a paper treated with dilute sulphuric acid and water, called
parchment paper or vegetable parchment, is generally used as being impervious to
substances of a greasy or saccharine nature; and frequently the article is weighed
with the said parchment paper, which is folded up to euclose the said article.
Subsequently the package is again enclosed in an outside cap or wrapping paper,
to give increased protection to the article and strength to the package, which
involves additional expense for paper, and additional labour and time in making up
the parcel.
In
By my invention I combine the parchment paper with the outer cap or wrapping
paper, so as to produce practically, a single material having the properties of both
the papers above named. By this means one operation is sufficient in enclosing
and making up each paekage or parcel, and time and labour is saved.
addition to this, the parchment paper may be made thinner, and therefore of less
weight and cost than when it is used alone, and sometimes the outside cap or
wrapping paper may also be reduced in weight from the increased strength given
by combining the two papers.
The papers may be combined immediately after their formation at the paper
mills, or by pasting the sheets together subsequently in any convenient manner and
passing them between rollers; and afterwards the combined paper is cut up into
suitable sized sheets for use like ordinary wrapping paper, or made up into bags, as
desired.

Improvements in Wrapping Paper.
.
I, JOHN CHARLES KAYE, of 5, Market Place, Wakefield, in the County of
York, Grocer and Provision Merchant, 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 :-
My invention relates to the paper or papers used in wrapping oleaginous or
moist articles, such as butter, lard, certain kinds of provisions, sweets, and the like.
For this purpose a paper treated with dilute sulphuric acid and water, called
parchment paper or vegetable parchment, is generally used as being impervious
to substances of a greasy or saccharine nature; and frequently the article is

article. Subsequently the package is again enclosed in an outside cap or wrapping
paper, to give increased protection to the article and strength to the package,
which involves additional expense for paper, and additional labour and time in
making up the parcel.
By my invention I combine the parchment paper with the outer cap or wrapping
paper, so as to produce, practically, a simple material having the properties of
both the papers above named. By this means one operation is sufficient in
enclosing and making up each package or parcel, and time and labour are saved.
In addition to this, the parchment paper may be made thinner, and therefore of less
weight and cost than when it is used alone, and sometimes the outside cap or
wrapping paper may also be reduced in weight from the increased strength given
by combining the two papers.
The papers may be combined immediately after their formation at the paper
mills, or by subsequently pasting the sheets together in any suitable manner and
passing them between rollers; and afterwards the combined paper is cut up into
suitable-sized sheets for use like ordinary wrapping paper, or made up into bags, as
desired.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a plan, and Fig. 2 is an exaggerated
section of a sheet of a combined paper such as has sometimes been used for the
purpose above indicated. In this example, two sheets of the kinds of paper
already referred to are pasted together along the sides or margins of the combined
sheet, between the edges thereof and the dotted line, the area of which is indicated
by the reference letter a. The area within this marginal space is indicated by the
letter b, and over this area the two sheets are free from adhesive material, and are
therefore disconnected, as indicated by the section Fig. 2, and are more or less
baggy, and so easily torn. I make no claim whatever to this method of making or
preparing paper, nor to the mere combination of the two kinds of paper specified.
Fig. 3 is a plan, and Fig. 4 a section intended to represent my improved wrapping
paper, in which the sheets are pasted together over the whole of their contact
surfaces as indicated by a¹, and consequently there is nothing corresponding to the
area above referred to.
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 herein described improvement in wrapping paper consisting of the combina-
tion of a sheet of parchment paper and a sheet of cap or wrapping paper united by
pasting together over the whole of their contact surfaces so as to form a combined
sheet having the qualities of each paper on their respective outside surfaces with
the combined strength of both papers over the whole area of the combined sheet,
for the sole purpose of wrapping oleaginous or moist articles, as specified and
shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
