Improvements in the Manufacture of Cardboard Boxes or Cases.
I, JACQUES NERSON, of Valréas (Vaucluse) France, Pasteboard Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of a box or case, preferably of card-
board, of elliptical form in transverse section and in a single piece without
glueing. The parts of the box or case are retained in position without glueing
by the elasticity of their edges which are rounded so as to hook over each other.
These boxes or cases may be used to contain cigars, cigarettes, or any other
articles, and may be made either plain or ornamented.
"
.
My invention will be understood by referring to the accompanying drawing
in which Figure 1 represents the complete box or case closed. Figure 2 is a
perspective view of the box open. Figure 3 represents the box or case.as opened
out, with the edges inwardly curved, and Figure 4 is a transverse section of the
same, on line 1-2 Figure 3. Figure 5 is a perspective view of the box or case
partly opened out. The same letters of reference denote like parts in the, several
figures.
The box or 'case, which is preferably made of cardboard, comprises a bottom
portion a having two inwardly curved sides bb and two ends cc, a part. which
folds down over the part a and engages therewith by its inwardly curved sides e e
embracing the sides 6 of the part a, and a cover f whose curved sides g-g embrace
the curved sides e and b so as to form a completely closed box or case. The box
blank is stamped out in the flat by a single punch and the side edges are curved
by means of a machine operated by treadle, lever, or power, having a bed die
similar to the female member of hair curling tongs. The bed die is heated from
below and the male die enters the hollow bed die and so-imparts.the proper curva-
ture to the sides of the box blank so that they shall embrace or hook over each
other as described. When the box or case has no inscription or ornamentation
stamped up upon it, the four creases h h at which the several parts of the blank
are folded into box form,' are formed by means of the machine ordinarily employed
for the purpose in making cardboard boxes. When however the box or case is
to bear any ornamentation or inscription, it may be produced by embossing in
the fly press simultaneously with the formation of the creases h.

I, JACQUES NERSON, of Valréas (Vaucluse) France, Pasteboard 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:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of a box or case, preferably of card-
board, of elliptical form in transverse section and in a single piece without
glueing. The parts of the box or case are retained in position without glueing
by the elasticity of their edges which are rounded so as to hook over each other.
These boxes or cases may be used to contain cigars, cigarettes, or any other
articles, and may be made either plain or ornamented.
My invention will be understood by referring to the drawing accompanying
my Provisional Specification in which Figure 1 represents the complete box or
case closed. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the box open. Figure 3 repre-
sents the box or case as opened out with the edges inwardly curved, and Figure 4
is a transverse section of the same, on line 1-2 Figure 3. Figure 5 is a per-
spective view of the box or case partly opened out. The same letters of reference
denote like parts in the several figures.
The box or case, which is preferably made of cardboard, comprises a bottom
portion having two inwardly curved sides bb' and two ends cc, a part d which
folds down over the part a and engages therewith by its inwardly curved sides e e
embracing the sides 6 of the part a, and a cover f whose curved sides g g embrace
the curved sides e and so as to form a completely closed box or case. The box
blank is stamped out in the flat by a single punch and the side edges are curved
by means of a machine operated by treadle, lever, or power, having a bed die
similar to the female member of hair curling tongs. The bed die is heated from
below and the male die enters the hollow bed die and so imparts the proper curva-
ture to the sides of the box blank so that they shall embrace or hook over each
other as described. When the box or case has no inscription or ornamentation
stamped up upon it, the four creases h h at which the several parts of the blank
are folded inte box form, are formed by means of the machine ordinarily employed
for the purpose in making cardboard boxes. When however the box or case is
to bear any ornamentation or inscription, it may be produced by embossing in
the fly press simultaneously with the formation of the creases h.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
A box or case of cardboard of elliptical form in cross section, made in a single
piece without glueing, substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.
