I EDWARD NEGRONI of 8' Chepstow Villas Bayswater in the County of Middle-
sex Professor of Music do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN WRAPPERS FOR ENCLOSING MUSIC BOOKS OR OTHER ARTICLES
to be as follows :-
"
In undoing rolls of music or packages of newspapers or books or other articles
which are wrapped or enclosed in wrappers for transmission damage is often done
to the enclosed music or other article by rending it with the wrapper or by cutting
the music or article with the knife used for severing the wrapper. The object
of my Invention is to overcome this liability to damage of the enclosed article
in undoing the wrapper and to effect this I make the wrapper in two parts
entirely separate from each other the one part being that constituting the main
portion in which the article is wrapped and the second part being the flap or
part which is fastened down by gumming or sealing to secure the wrapper around
the enclosed article-The said two parts are connected together by a strip of
linen or other material cemented or connected to the two parts in such a manner
that it can be ripped or torn off so as by removing the connection of the two
parts to readily unfasten the wrapper from the enclosed article without injury to
the latter As the parts of the wrapper are left intact they may be utilized for
advertizing purposes if desired.

page_text: Improvements in Wrappers, Envelopes, and the like, for
Enclosing Music, Books, or other Articles.
I, EDWARD NEGRONI of 8 Chepstow Villas Bayswater in the County of
Middlesex, Professor of Music do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN WRAPPERS ENVELOPES AND THE LIKE FOR ENCLOSING MUSIC
BOOKS OR OTHER ARTICLES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
"
In undoing rolls of music or packages of newspapers or books or other articles
which are wrapped or enclosed in wrappers or envelopes for transmission, damage
is often done to the enclosed music or other articles by rending it with the wrapper
'or envelope, or by cutting the music or article with the knife used for severing the
.wrapper or envelope. The object of my Invention is to overcome this liability to
damage of the enclosed article in undoing the wrappor or envelope and to effect
this I make the wrapper or envelope in two parts entirely separate from each
other, the one part being that constituting the main portion in which the article is
wrapped, and the second part being the flap or part of the flap or that portion
which is fastened down by gumming or sealing to secure the wrapper or envelope
around or over the enclosed article The said two parts are connected together by
a strip of linen or other material, cemented or connected to the two parts in such a
manner that it can be ripped or torn off, so as by removing the connection of the
two parts, to readily unfasten the wrapper or envelope from the enclosed article
without injury to the latter, as the parts of the wrapper or envelope are left intact
they may be utilized for advertizing purposes if desired.
Figures 1 and 2 represent opposite side views and Figure 3 represents an edge
view of a wrapper made according to my Invention, Figure 4 shews the same
wrapped round a packet-u is the main part and is the flap part which is
gummed or otherwise fastened to the part of a which it comes opposite when
wrapped round the article. The parts a and bare joined by the strip c of linen or
other suitable material preferably made with one end projecting as at c for ease in
unfastening the packet which is done by tearing off the strip c when the division
between a and b is effected and the article can be readily removed from the
wrapper whilst the wrapper itself is untorn and any advertisements which may be
upon it are open to view and are not likely to have been torn in undoing the
package.
Figures 5 and 6 shew a wrapper or envelope such as is commonly used for
enclosing letters deeds or the like—The parts are the same as in the previous
Figures and are marked with the same letters of reference. Figures 7 and 8 are a
side and edge view of a wrapper wherein the flap or piece bis dispensed with the
strip ċ being made wider and being gummed so as to answer the purpose of the flap
or piece b in securing the wrapper, the outer gummed edge of the strip c being
secured to the part of a which it comes opposite when the wrapper is put round
the article. Envelopes may also be made in this manner.

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
The manufacture of wrappers envelopes and the like with strips or pieces
which can be readily torn off to open the packet without injuring the contents
substantially as hereinbefore described, and also the several arrangements herein-
before described and illustrated by the accompanying Drawings.
