I LEOPOLD ELIAS, merchant, of Kosten in the German Empire do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for IMPROVED MATERIAL FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER
OR LIKE BAGS to be as follows:-
My invention in paper bags consists in the arrangement and combination of an inner,
thin leaf of metal with a transparent paper at the outside.
By this combination of two layers, from which the inner layer is made from tin-foil
gold foil and other brilliant leaves of metal, the outward transparent layer of paper
receives a brilliant appearance, a metallic lustre, which can never be gained by the
paper itself.
Therefore the bag consists in reality of two bags, of an inner metallic bag and of
an outward paper bag. I prefer the shining silk paper or the paper used for copying
drawings.
If I choose a coloured outward paper bag a very fine splendour is gained by the
aforesaid combination.
By the combination of a metallic bag with a shining paper bag a hermetical closure
is gained, which can be used for every material.
If necessary the inner metallic layer of tin-foil can be covered by a third bag of
paper, so that the thin-foil bag is surrounded by two bags of paper.

page_text: I, LEOPOLD ELIAS Merchant of Kosten in Prussia, Germany 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 improvements in manufacturing glazed papers, such as are
used either in the shape of cornets, bags, card board boxes etc. for packing tea, coffee,
cocoa powder, pudding-meal, flour for children, maize-meal, soup-meal, almond-
powder, vermin-powder, metal-colours, snuff etc. in, or are else utilized in the shape
of business-cards, gratulatory cards, announcements of engagements, marriages, births
or deaths, bills, price-lists, circulars, calendars, cigar-tubes, covers for books etc.
The objects of my improvements is the combination of an outside cover or upper
layer, composed of a transparent shining paper (cambric or waxed paper) with a cover
lying beneath it and composed of a shining leaf of metal (tin or gold foil, silver or
gold tissue paper) which may be stretched over an inner cover or leaf of common
paper or card board for the purpose of making a packing material, the outside of
which is dimly shining.
This new paper material consists therefore firstly of an inner leaf composed of
common paper or any other suitable material, secondly of a brightly shining leaf of
metal, such as tin or gold foil or any other suitable leaf metal and thirdly of a cover
or upper layer stretched over the above-named materials and composed of transparent
shining paper, such as cambric or waxed paper.
Owing to the second layer being composed of a shining material the upper layer
or cover stretched over it aquires a subdued metallic shine, which for instance has
the appearance of satin whenever tin-foil or painted silver paper are used, and makes
an extremely agreeable impression on the eye. The combined effect of the transparent
shining outer cover or layer made of cambric or waxed paper and the shining layer
beneath it made of metal leaf forms the characteristic peculiarity of this invention.
These two covers or layers can be used for themselves and without the above-named
inner layer of common paper and without my invention being influenced thereby.
It must further be remarked, that owing to the shining through of the leaf metal
or metallic paper of which the second layer is composed the print on the upper layer
has a strongly metallic shine which makes it all the more conspicuous, so that the
combination just described proves very advantageous for business-cards etc.

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 :-
1.) As a new article of manufacture an ornamental compound material consisting
of an outer layer of transparent shining cambric or waxed paper and an inner layer
of foil substantially as described.
2.) As a new article of manufacture an ornamental compound material consisting of
an outer layer of transparent shining cambric or waxed paper, a middle layer of foil
and a third or under layer of common paper for preserving the middle layer of foil
substantially as described.
