PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Cases for Exhibiting Laces, Tapes,
and the like.
I, JAMES PATON of Johnstone Mill, Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to and comprises improvements in the construction
of portable cases or boxes for containing leather and other laces, tapes, thread
hanks and the like, and which can be opened up to exhibit these and enable the
goods to be easily removed.
The improved case would preferably be formed of cardboard and of a square or
rectangular shape with four sides and a hinged closing down lid. An overlapping
strip would be fitted at two of the opposite sides or ends of the box, and the ends
of the laces or articles inserted in the box would be covered in by these strips and
prevented from falling out. These side or end strips may be either fixed or made
to fold down, or they may consist of elastic or other bands or like devices for the
purpose of overlapping the ends of the laces or articles and retaining them within
the box. The box may be hung on the wall of the warehouse by a thread from
the lid, and the exposed laces can be withdrawn by hand as required. While by
closing down the lid the laces will be protected from dust or for transit.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Cases for Exhibiting Laces, Tapes,
and the like.
I, JAMES PATON, of Johnstone Mill, Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement in writing, that is to say :—
This invention has reference to and comprises improvements in the construction
of portable cases or boxes for containing leather and other laces, tapes, thread
hanks, and the like, and which can be opened up to exhibit these and enable the
goods to be easily removed.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have hereunto
appended an explanatory drawing representing a perspective view of a case as
constructed in accordance with my improvements.
Referring to said drawing, the improved case would preferably be formed of
cardboard and of a square or rectangular shape with four sides a and a hinged
closing door lid a'. An overlapping strip & would be fitted at two of the opposite
sides or ends of the box, and the ends of the laces or articles c inserted in the box
would be covered in by these strips b, and prevented from falling out. These side
or end strips may be either fixed or made to fold down. or they may consist of
elastic or other bands or like devices for the purpose of overlapping the ends of
the laces or articles c and retaining them within the box. The box may be hung
on the wall of the warehouse by a thread d from the lid, and the exposed laces c

will be protected from dust, or for transit.
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 constructing of cases for exhibiting laces, tapes, and the like, with over-
lapping strips at the sides or ends so as to cover the ends of the laces or articles
and prevent them falling out, substantially as herein described in reference to
and by way of application shown in the accompanying drawings.
