PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Fancy Boxes.
We, HUGH STEVENSON and ALBERT HUGH STEVENSON, both of the Firm of
Hugh Stevenson and Sons, of Silver Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Fancy Box Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of those fancy boxes
such as chocolate, bonbon and like boxes in which paper lace or plain flies, lock
labels or other similar strips of paper or material which only require partially
gumming are attached, and is particularly applicable to machine made boxes.
"
Hitherto such strips have been separately attached prior to the "banding
operation and our improvements consist essentially in attaching the "fly" or like
strip and the "banding" or covering strip simultaneously and by one operation.
We effect this by perforating slotting serrating or otherwise suitably treating
that part of the " "fly or like strip which is usually first gummed and attached to
the box and is then covered by the banding strip, and in the case of machine made
boxes we pass the fly strip prepared as described through the banding machine with
the banding strip which is gummed all over on one side in the usual way.
banding strip overlaps the prepared portion of the fly strip and the gum on
the former passes through the perforations, slots, openings, serrated edge or the like,
in the fly strip so that the two strips are secured simultaneously and by the same
operation to the box.
The
In applying our improvements to hand made boxes we gum the banding paper as
usual and then put the edge of the specially prepared paper lace or other fly strip
on to the band paper and apply both by hand to the box simultaneously.
Dated this 3rd day of October 1895.

page_text: And in order that our invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect we will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being had to
the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a view of a paper lace "fly" with its strip prepared for the purposes
of our invention.
"
Figure 2 is a view of part of a fancy box to which the "fly" and " banding
strips have been attached simultaneously and by one operation according to our
invention, part of the banding strip being removed to show the "fly" in position.
Figure 3 is a cross section of Fig. 2.
"
In these views, a designates the "fly," b the "banding or covering strip
and the cardboard or other material of which the fancy box is composed.
C
We carry our improvements into effect by perforating (for example in the
manner shown in Fig. 1) or slotting, serrating or otherwise suitably treating that
part of the "fly" a or like strip which is usually first gummed and attached to the
box c and is then covered by the banding strip b; and in the case of machine made
boxes we pass the "fly" strip a prepared as described and illustrated through a
banding machine of the ordinary or any known construction simultaneously with the
banding strip b which is gummed all over on one side in the usual way well
understood by fancy box makers.
The banding strip 6 as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 3, overlaps the prepared
portion of the "fly" strip a and the gum on the former passes through the
perforations, slots, openings, serrated edge or the like in the "fly" strip a so that
the two are secured simultaneously and by one and the same operation to
the box.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
or
The improvements in the manufacture of fancy boxes which improvements
consist essentially in attaching the "fly" or like strip and the "banding
covering strip to a fancy box simultaneously and by one and the same operation
substantially in the manner herein set forth.
