PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Disseminating Insect Powder and the like.
1, JOSEPH TAYLOR CRAW of 33, Ege Avenue, Jersey City, in the County of
Hudson and State of New Jersey, United States of America, Folding Box Maker,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in a simple and novel device for holding and dissemi-
nating insect powder and the like.
In constructing a device in accordance with my invention, a box-like structure or
bellows is provided, preferably rectangular in shape and formed of pasteboard or
like material of a nature to permit the structure to be partially collapsed to expel
the powder therefrom and which further will resume its normal shape and size when
the collapsing pressure is relieved. The back of the box is scored in curved lines,
near each side edge, and as a result when pressure is applied at the side edges or
angles and the box partially collapsed, the back between the scores will be Hexed
outward and when the pressure is relieved, the said back will spring inward and the
box will resume its normal shape.
The bellows would be provided with an aperture at front, uear the bottom or in
other suitable position, which would be kept sealed and punctured when the bellows
is to be used for distributing the insect or other powder.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Disseminating Insect Powder and the like.
1, JOSEPH TAYLOR CRAW of 33, Ege Avenue, Jersey City, in the County of
Hudson, and State of New Jersey, United States of America, Folding Box Maker,
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 consists in a simple and novel device for holding and dissemi-
nating insect powder and the like.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this
Specification, in which
Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the device or bellows adapted to contain
Persian powder or the like and to distribute the same, and
Figure 2 is a perspective view, shewing the manner of operating the device.
In constructing a device in accordance with my invention a box-like structure or
bellows A is provided preferably rectangular in shape and formed of pasteboard or
like material of a nature to permit the structure to be partially collapsed to expel
the powder therefrom and which further will resume its normal shape and size when
the collapsing pressure is relieved. The back of the box is scored in curved lines
near each side edge as at a' and as a result when pressure is applied at the side
edges or angles a³ and the box partially collapsed as shown in Figure 2, the back a¹
between the scores a' will be flexed outward and when the pressure is relieved the
said back by reason of the said scores will spring inward and the box will resume
its normal shape.
The bellows or suction device scored at the back as previously described is

page_text: provided in the front, near the bottom or at other desired position, with an
aperture. The device is filled with Porsian powder or the like, and the aperture
sealed. The device forms then a convenient mode of putting up or disposing of the
insect powder, the user puncturing the wrapper at the aperture, and thus readily
putting the containing box into form for use as a bellows for distributing the
powder.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.-
The herein described bellows device consisting of a box-like structure of stiff
material scored in curved lines adjacent to certain of its angles, substantially as
described.
