PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pasteboard Boxes and Boxes of like Material.
I JOSEF TEMLER, of Warsaw in the Empire of Russia, and 30 to 34 Tabernacle
Street, Finsbury Square, in the County of London, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of pasteboard boxes without the use of
paste or other adhesive, more particularly such as are suitable for containing small
articles such for example cigarettes pieces of wedding cake, bon bons, small wares,
and samples.
I make such boxes either in one or two pieces and for the former I cut or stamp
out the piece of the required shape so as to form the bottom, sides, and closing
arrangement or lid, all in one, and I treat the lines, where the pasteboard is
required to bend at an angle, in a machine such as forms the subject of Patent
No. 23735 of 1892, thereby causing the pasteboard to fold up so as to form a box,
and I fasten the folded parts together as may be required with paper binders or
some other form of metallic fastening or staple, making provision for the opening
and shutting of the box by the tucking under of part of the lid or opening piece,
or otherwise so as to secure it when closed.
In one form of box I make the central portion of the cut out pasteboard to form
the bottom of the finished box, with the sides arranged one on each of the four
sides of it, with lappets or folding edges to close or form the corners of the box
and for uniting the parts when folded, and attached to such side pieces or forming
continuations of them or some of them are the pieces which form the closing
device or lid, and two of which are arranged to just meet each other, or to lap
over each other, or be under the other two pieces and be fastened to one or both
of them, and the other two portions are made to lap the other and in conjunction
with the binders or staples or otherwise to form a means of tucking in the edge,
point, or part of the lid, or lid like device, under the other in such wise as to form
a convenient and very neat closing arrangement, and separate slips or additions
thereto may be added for perfecting the closing device or for ornament or for the
purpose of producing a greater variety of patterns or otherwise.
In the boxes formed of two pieces I cut out one piece of pasteboard so that
when treated on the before mentioned folding machine they fold up to form a box
or case with or without one side or end left open, which will slide into an outer
case, and I
may secure such inner part with fasteners or leave it unfastened and
to be held together only by the outer case. The outer case I form similarly but
so as to leave one or both ends open, or otherwise so as to admit of the insertion.
of the inner portion and I fasten the edges or parts of the said outer case with
binders or staples or the like.
I prefer to decorate such boxes with lines or devices produced, or such as may
be produced by the machine described in Specification No. 4965, of 1894 and I
may form such outer cases of various designs or shapes according to the uses they
are intended for, or the ornamentation desired.
Boxes made in this manner cost less to manufacture than boxes made by means
of paste or like adhesive matter. They are stronger, more perfectly formed and
more elegant.

I, JOSEF TEMLER, of Warsaw, in the Empire of Russia, and 30 to 34 Tabernacle
Street, Finsbury Square, in the County of London, Manufacturer 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 manufacture of pasteboard boxes without the use of
paste or other adhesive, more particularly such as are suitable for containing small
articles such as for example cigarettes, pieces of wedding cake, bon bons, small
wares and samples.
I make such boxes either in one or two pieces and for the former I cut or stamp
out the piece of the required shape so as to form the bottom, sides, and closing
arrangement or lid, all in one, and I treat the lines where the pasteboard is
required to bend at an angle, in a machine such as forms the subject of Patent
No. 23735 of 1892, or otherwise so that the pasteboard is caused to fold up so as
to form a box, and I fasten the folded parts together as may be required with
paper binders or some other form of metallic fastening or staple, making provision
for the opening and shutting of the box by the tucking under of part of the lid or
opening piece or otherwise so as to secure it when closed.
In one form of box I make the central portion of the cut out pasteboard to form
the bottom of the finished box with the sides arranged one on each of the four
sides of it with lappets or folding edges to close or form the corners of the box
and for uniting the parts when folded, and attached to such side pieces or forming
continuations of them or some of them are the pieces which form the closing
device or lid and two of which are arranged to just meet each other, or to lap
over each other or be under the other two pieces and be fastened to one or both of
them, and the other two portions are made to lap over the other and in conjunction
with the binders or staples or otherwise to form a means of tucking in the edge
point or part of the lid or lid like device under the other in such wise as to form a
convenient and very neat closing arrangement, and separate slips or additions
thereto may be added for perfecting the closing device or for ornament or for the
purpose of producing a greater variety of patterns, or otherwise.
In the boxes formed of two pieces I cut one piece of pasteboard so that when
treated on the before mentioned folding machine or otherwise for the same purpose
they fold up to form a box or case with or without one side or end left open, which
will slide into an outer case and I may secure such inner part with fasteners or
leave it unfastened and to be held together only by the outer case.
The outer
case I form similarly but so as to leave one or both ends open, or otherwise so as to
admit of the insertion of the inner portion and I fasten the edges or parts of the
said outer case with binders or staples or the like.
I prefer to decorate such boxes with lines or devices produced or such as may be
produced by the machine described in Specification No. 4965 of 1894, or otherwise,
and I may form such outer cases of various designs or shapes according to the
uses they are intended for or the ornamentation desired.
In the accompanying sheets of drawings
Figures 1 to 8 represent boxes made of one piece only according to my invention,
Figures 9 to 24 represent boxes made of two principal pieces.
The same letters of reference indicate the same or equivalent or most nearly
equivalent parts in all the figures.
Referring now to Figures 1 to 8. Figure 1 represents the finished box, Figure 2
represents the piece of pasteboard cut out to form the box. The pasteboard is bent
along the lines a either on the before mentioned or other machine or by scoring or

page_text: otherwise; the sides are turned up and over to meet, and the end piece c turned
over on them and the three fixed in position by the double pointed clamp or-
staple d. To close the box the end piece e is passed under the pieces c the notch f
giving space for the clamp d. Figure 3 is a modified form of the box constructed
in the same manner, and Figure 4 represents the same laid out flat, the side.
pieces 6 do not meet, and may have small wings 6' at their ends. The end piece c-
is fastened by two clamps d'd, and the edge of the closing piece e the corners of
which may be cut away as shown in the figures to clear the clamps d d, tucks.
under the front edge of c.
Figures 5 and 6 represent a slightly modified form of that shown in Figures 3.
and 4 but with an additional slip of pasteboard g fastened by clamps on to the-
pieces under which slip g the ends of the parts c and e are tucked to close.
the box.
Another variation of the same is shown in Figures 7 and 8 in which the piece c
is made the full length of the box and the sides pieces such as c¹ which fold over the
side pieces b and are fastened by the rivets d. A cut is made in the part c into which
the closing end piece e is passed when closing the box.
Referring now to Figures 9 to 24 which represent a series of boxes which differ-
from each other only in details formed essentially of two principal pieces, one of.
whereof slides within the other.
Figure 9 represent one form of such a box partially open, Figure 10 the outer
portion or case opened out flat, and Figure 11 the inner portion or slide, also laid
open. The lines along which the pasteboard is folded are marked a. The outer
piece Figure 10 folds as shown in Figure 9 so that the part h folds under the part i
and the two are fixed together by the rivets d d. The inner piece, Figure 11, has.
side pieces b b with wings b¹ b', the parts c and e may conveniently meet end to end!
when folded so that the whole may be effectually closed by sliding the one portion.
into the other.
The inner portion of the boxes represented in Figures 12 to 18 is of the same-
construction as that shown in Figure 11 and the outer portions only therefore are
shown. Figures 12 and 13 represent one in which the part i completely covers the
part Figures 14 and 15 show one in which the part i covers only a little over
a half of the part h. In Figures 16 and 17 the part i is cut like the flap of an
envelope and so that the point extends nearly to the opposite end. In Figure 18.
the part is similarly cut but extends only to about the centre of the part which
latter is marked or embossed with diagonal lines giving the appearance of being-
in three pieces.
Figures 19, 20 and 21 represent a variation of the above described in which the-
inner as well as the outer portion is fixed by rivets, and access to the interior of
which is obtained at the end when the inner portion is completely withdrawn from.
the outer portion. Figure 19 represents the complete box with the inner portion.
drawn partly out.
Figure 20 is the outer and Figure 21 the inner portion, in both these side pieces bb.
have winged pieces at 6161 at one end, and the part c has side pieces c' through
which the rivets d are passed as shown in Figure 19. The outer portion, Figure 20,.
has curved notches kk to enable the user to easily grasp and draw out the inner
portion. Figures 22, 23 and 24 represent a modification in which the outer portion
only is fixed with a rivet which passes through the portion i and h. The inner
portion has side pieces bb with wings 6' 6' and the end pieces m having extensions m¹
which when this portion is folded turn over the wings 6' and lie flatly against the
pieces m bent with pieces 6' between them and when the box is filled with goods such
for instance as matches or cigarettes the contents prevent the pieces m² opening out
and thus the inner portion is held firmly in shape even when drawn quite out of the
outer portion.
I prefer to decorate the boxes so made with appropriate devices such as the
ornamental lines represented in the various figures or to emboss or print them with
pictures, advertisements or other devices or matter.

scale board, and the like.
The method of bending the pasteboard along the lines a hereinbefore mentioned
forms no part of my present invention and I make no claim herein in respect
thereof, and the bending may be performed by other well known means instead
of that mentioned.
my
Having now fully described and ascertained the nature of invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
1. The manufacture boxes of pasteboard and the like substantially in the manner
hereinbefore set forth.
2. The manufacture of pasteboard boxes such as hereinbefore described without
the use of paste or other adhesive material cut out and fastened with metallic
fastenings substantially according to the devices herein before described and shown
in the drawings.
3. The novel arrangements of parts herein before described by which boxes of
pasteboard or like material of small size such as are suitable for containing
cigarettes, pieces of wedding cake, bon bons, small wares, samples or the like are
made so that the parts requiring to be united may be fastened together by the
insertion of one or more metallic fastenings substantially as described and shewn in
the drawings.
