A communication from abroad by PETER JACOB MÜLLER (Wirth & Co.), of Cologne,
in the Empire of Germany.
I, GEORGE CECIL DYMOND, M. Inst. M.E. of the Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in the
County of Lancaster, and 323, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Patent
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention has for its object to provide in itself, without any further means,
a tightly folding wrapping or packet for tea, sugar, bonbons, chocolate, snuff, and
similar substances.
This wrapping consists of a small case or packet of paper, pulp, stiff linen, or
other suitable material open at one end, which end is provided with a projecting rim,
which is folded over in the manner hereafter described for the purpose of tightly
closing the packet.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention.
The projecting rim a b c d is of the same width as the open end of the case, and is
fastened round about on the edges of the same.
The rim is creased into 8 squares by the folds A, which squares are again divided
by means of diagonal folds into 2 triangles. These folds are pinched or folded, each
corner in succession, partly from the inside, and partly from the outside.
In order to close the wrapping or package the rim is folded over to cover the
aperture and yet leave 4 projecting points C, as seen in Figure 2, and in ground plan
Figure 3, whereby the hitherto open side of the case is closed, and then the remaining
standing corners C, formed by the folding of the squares, are laid in succession, one
overlapping the other, and the last one of them (4) is pushed under the first (1)
as shown in Figure 4, whereby the complete closing is formed, as shown in
Figure 5.
It is by having the rim a b c d surrounding the ends of the open side of the box
that open slits are avoided and a complete close joint formed.
Before the rims are folded a small plate, corresponding to the size of the box, is
laid on the contents.

I, GEORGE CECIL DYMOND, M. Inst. M.E. of the Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6 Bank Street Manchester both in the
County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, Patent
Agent, 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 has for its object to provide in itself, without any further means, a

page_text: tightly folding wrapping or packet for tea, sugar, bonbons, chocolate, snuff, and
similar substances.
This wrapping consists of a small case or packet of paper, pulp, stiff linen, or
other suitable material, open at one end, which end is provided with a projecting rim,
which is folded over in the manner hereafter described, for the purpose of tightly
closing the packet.
In the drawing accompanying the provisional specification, which illustrates the
invention:-
The projecting rim a b c d is of the same width as the open end of the case, and is
fastened round about on the edges of the same.
The rim is creased into 8 squares by the folds A, which squares are again
divided by means of diagonal folds into 2 triangles. These folds are pinched or
folded, each corner in succession, partly from the inside, and partly from the
outside.
In order to close the wrapping or package, the rim is folded over to cover the
aperture and yet leave four projecting points C, as seen in Figure 2, and in
ground plan, Figure 3, whereby the hitherto open side of the case is closed, and
then the remaining standing corners C, formed by the folding of the squares, are
laid in succession, one overlapping the other, and the last one of them (4) is pushed
under the first (1) as shown in Figure 4, whereby the complete closing is formed, as
shown in Figure 5.
It is by having the rim a b c d surrounding the ends of the open side of the
box, that open slits are avoided, and a complete close joint formed.
Before the rims are folded, a small plate, corresponding to the size of the box, is
laid on the contents.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
The manufacture, substantially as herein described and shown, of a tightly folding
wrapper or packet (for tea, sugar, bonbons, chocolate, snuff, and other substances) of
paper, pulp, stiff linen, or other suitable material, complete in itself, and so formed
that the open end of the wrapper or packet is provided with a projecting rim a bed,
tightly fastened all round, and of the same width as the open end of the case, this
rim, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, being folded, by aid of the folds A and B, over
the open end, the remaining standing corners C being folded in succession, and finally,
the last of them being pushed under the first, as shown in Figure 4.
