I, CHARLES ELLISON HORNER, Commercial Traveller, of 34, Aireville Road,
Fizinghall, Bradford, Yorkshire, 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 for improvements in packets of laundry blue relates to packets
of that class known as Dolly blues" in which the blue is wrapped in suitable
covering material, and provided with a small handle by which the blue can be
moved about in the water These handles are usually double headed, one of
these heads being fitted in the covering material.

page_text: This invention has for its object to provide an improved handle by which after
use the blue can be hung up on a nail on hook on the wall on the like until again
required, or a number of the blue packets may be hung on a sting, cold, wie
or the like for decorative or advertising purposes in shops
According to this invention, the handles are formed at one end with the usual
head by which they can be fitted in the wrapping material and the other end
18 enlarged and perforated. Or, instead of the end being enlarged a suitable eye
may be fitted to the handle to serve the same purpose
And in order that this invention may be more readily understood reference 18
had to the accompanying sheet of illustrative diawings on which Fig 1 is a view
in perspective of a haudle for a packet of laundry blue constructed according to
this invention and Fig 218 a view showing it applied to the blue packet.
The handle A is formed at one end with the head a by which it can be fitted
in the packet of blue B as shown in Fig 2 the sting used for closing the mouth
of the packet engaging in the nicks a¹ a¹ The outer end as of the handle A 18
enlarged and a hole as formed in it
This handle serves the purpose of the usual handle so far as regards the use
of the blue, and when not required for use the blue packet can be hung up by
the perforated end a³ It is therefore kept clean and handy. Also, the wet
blue if placed on a shelf is liable to waste, and therefore hanging up is more
economical in use. Also by placing a number of these blue packets upon a string
or cord they can be hung up in shops for decorative or advertising purposes.
These handles are preferably of wood although any other suitable non-corrodible
material may also be employed These handles may be made by any suitable
machinery and may be varied in shape somewhat without departing from this
invention
I would have it understood that I am aware that wooden handles have before
been used for packets of laundry blue and the like and that cord and wire handles
have before been used whereby the packets can be hung up
This invention can also be used for packets of coloring matters other than
laundry blue which are used in a similar manner
Also, instead of the end being enlarged and perforated a suitable eye may be
fitted to the handle to serve the same pu pose.
Having now particularly described and ascertamed the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 18:
(1) A handle for use with packets of laundry blue formed at one end for attach-
ment to the wapping material and at the other enlarged and perforated for
hanging up substantially as described
(2) In a packet of laundry blue, the combination with the wrapping material
and the colong matter therein, of a handle having an enlarged and perforated
end substantially as described and illustrated and for the purposes specified
