IMPROVE- MENTS IN CASES OR WRAPPERS FOR NEEDLES, FISHHOOKS, AND SIMILAR SMALL ARTICLES
Year: 1884

page_text: I FRANK HERBERT PEACE of 42 Conduit Road Sheffield, in the County of
York Manager do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN CASES OR WRAPPERS FOR NEEDLES, FISHHOOKS, AND SIMILAR SMALL
ARTICLES, to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to improvements in cases and wrappers for Needles, tho
object being to permit the needles to be seen when exhibited for sale, and at other
times without exposing them to the deleterious action of the atmosphere; and it
consists chiefly in the adaptation and use of transparent or diaphanous material,
such as Talc or. Gelatine, preference being given to such as are elastic, (but non-
elastic substances such as Glass may be used), and which are applied to one or
more of the sides of the case or wrapper, as preferred, in such a manner that when
folded up the Needles or a portion of thein may be seen through the said transparent
material.
In carrying my invention into practice I preferably apply the said material to
one side only of the case or wrapper, in such a manner, as to leave a strip or border
of the paper or other substance of which the case or wrapper is made, round the
edges of the transparent material, thus forming a frame which may be left plain,
or may be highly ornamented as preferred.
The folding flaps of the wrapper are so arranged as to exclude the entrance of
damp air.
The transparent material is secured to the case or wrapper by glue, gum or other
adhesive material.

page_text: I, FRANK HERBERT PEACE of 42 Conduit Road Sheffield in the County of York
Manager do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
CASES OR WRAPPERS FOR NEEDLES, FISHHOOKS AND SIMILAR SMALL ARTICLES,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement, that is to say :—
་་
My invention relates to improvements in Cases-and-wrappers-for-Needles (or
similar small articles such as fishhooks) the object being to allow the needles to bo
Been when exhibited for sale, and at other times, without the articles being exposed
to the deleterious action of the atmosphere; and it consists in the use and
application of transparent or diaphanous material such as Talc, Gelatine, or other
similar suitable material, preference being given to such as are elastic (but non-
elastic materials such as glass may be used if desirable).
The transparent material may be applied to one or more of the sides of the case
or wrapper. And in order that my invention may be understood I have annexed
a sheet of drawings, in which the method of application of the transparent material
is clearly seen, the same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the
figures.
Fig 1. is a representation of a wrapper (for needles) before folding up, showing
where the transparent material is applied.
Fig. 2 is the same folded.
Fig. 3. is a case of larger size.
Fig 4. is a similar case of another shape.
Fig 5. is a case for Fishing Flies.
In carrying out my invention, I preferably apply the transparent material A to
the front side only of the case or wrapper B, in such a manner as to leave a strip
or border C, of the paper or other substance of which the case or wrapper is made;
round the edges of the transparent material, thus forming a frame which may
either be left plain, or may be ornamental.
The most suitable way of securing the transparent material to the paper, is by
cement.
The method of folding the wrapper as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1.
excludes the air, and damp, and thus prevents the needles, or other articles loosing
their original polish, and also allows them to be inspected without fear of rust from
contact with the fingers.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st The use and application of any suitable transparent or diaphanous material
such as talc, or Gelatine, in Wrappers or Cases for needles, for the purpose specified,
and in the manner substantially as described and illustrated.
2nd In Wrappers or Cases for needles and similar small articles, the use of a
transparent or diaphanous material, for the purpose herein before specified, and
substantially as described and illustrated.
