An Envelope or Package for Enclosing Ladies' Mantles or the like.
I, LOUISA JANE FRECKNALL, of 53, Alison Road North, Holland Park, W.,
late of 6, Bank Buildings, West Kensington, W., Milliner and Mantle Maker, 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 an envelope or package for enclosing ladies' mantles
or the like, and in carrying such invention into practice, I make the envelope
or package of brown paper or any other suitable material, and wrap or fold over
the sides & stick them firmly together.
I provide a flap of any required depth & shape, adding some adhesive material
on the inside edge so that it may be fastened when in use.
The object of the present invention is to provide a cheap and portable envelope
in which ready made or other mantles or their equivalent can be more conveniently
carried, than was heretofore possible.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and-

page_text: carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of
illustrative drawings, wherein :-
-
Fig. 1 is a rear elevational view of an envelope formed in accordance with this
invention, the fastenings being shewn undone, and
Fig. 2a similar view, with the fastenings tied, of the front of the envelope.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts in both figures, a is the envelope, which is preferably formed of
a sheet of brown paper or similar material, such sheet being conveniently folded
over at the side edges as at a¹ and there secured by suitable mucilage.
A securing flap is provided, such flap having gum or other adhesive substance
upon its inner side, for fastening the flap down and so helping to secure the
contents of the envelope. care tapes, strings, or strips of elastic material, which
are fastened to the envelope at a suitable distance apart, by means of stays or
loops /
These tapes or their equivalent extend completely around the envelope and are
of sufficient length to leave free ends which are tied as at d¹ (Fig. 2) when the
envelope has received its contents.
To the tapes or their equivalent, at the part which is over the top of the
envelope I provide a tape or other flexible handle c³, for convenience in carrying
the package.
Names and address or suitable matter may be displayed upon either the backs or
fronts (or both) of the envelopes or packages so fashioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The envelope or package for enclosing ladies' mantles or the like, consisting
in a brown paper or other sheet which is folded over and secured at the side edges
to form a receptacle, said envelope having a gummed flap and two tape or other
fastening strips which pass through stays or loops on the back and front of the
envelope and are adapted to be tied at their free ends, a flexible handle joining
such fastening strips at the top of the envelope, substantially as described, and
as illustrated by the drawings.
