PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in the Manufacture of Paper Conical Packages
for Pills.
I, THOMAS CHILD, Chemist and Dentist of 84 Wellington Road Leeds do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is to provide a Paper Conical Package for Pills
which shall retain its conical shape whether full or partly full or empty; which
shall be capable of being opened or closed without the use of string or sealing
wax by simply opening out or pressing in the edges of the paper nearest to the
broad end of the said conical package; which shall give a large surface for the
display of directions for use &c.; and which shall permit the use therewith of a very-
small and therefore cheap and portable box in which to keep the Pills after the first
dose has been taken.
Now for the purpose of my Invention I take an oblong and rectangular piece of
paper, and by giving it a sharp twist near any one of its angles with the thumb
and some of the fingers of one hand round the thumb and some of the fingers of
the other, form a hollow cone, the length of the cone being in the direction of the
length of the paper.
I afterwards, and either before or after putting the Pills in the said hollow cone,
place in the broad end of the said cone, with its axis in a line with that of the cone, a
cylindrical Box of the same diameter as is the said cone at the point where the said
box rests and is intended to rest.
The making of the Package is then completed by simply pressing in the edges of
the Paper nearest the broad end of the said cone.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Paper Conical Packages
for Pills.
1, THOMAS CHILD, of 84 Wellington Road Leeds in the County of York, Chemist
and Dentist 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 :-
The object of my invention is to provide a Paper Conical Package for Pills which
shall retain its conical shape whether full or partly full or empty, which shall be
capable of being opened or closed without the use of string or sealing wax by simply
opening out or pressing in as the case may be the edges of the paper nearest the
broad end of the said conical package, which shall give a large surface for the display
of directions for use &c., and which shall permit the use therewith of a very small
and therefore cheap and portable Box in which to keep the Pills after the said Paper
Conical Package has served the purpose of giving a large surface (as compared with
the surface of the said Box) for the display of directions for use &c.
Now for the purpose of my Invention I take an oblong and rectangular piece
of Paper A. Fig. 1. and by giving it a sharp twist near any one of its angles C. Figs. 1. 2.
with the thumb and some of the fingers of one hand round the thumb and some of
the fingers of the other, form a hollow cone; the length of the cone being in the
direction of the length of the Paper.
I afterwards, and either before or after putting the Pills in the said hollow cone,
place in the broad end of the said cone a cylindrical or other box, B. Fig. 2. with its

page_text: axis, if cylindrical, in a line preferably with that of the cone; and of a diameter, if
cylindrical, the same as is that of the said cone at the point where the said Box rests
and is intended to rest. Provided always, that if the said Box be placed in the broad
end of the said cone before the Pills are put in the said cone, the said Box must of
course be taken out again to permit the putting in of the said pills in the said cone.
The making of the Package is then completed Fig. 3. by simply pressing in the
edges D. Fig. 2. of the paper nearest the broad end of the said cone on to the
said Box.
But take notice, that I do not claim as part of my Invention the process of twisting
paper into the form of a hollow cone, nor the act of putting Pills in the said cone.
nor the use of paper in the manufacture of the said Paper Conical Packages.
my said
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
i
A Patent for an Improvement in the Manufacture of Paper Conical Packages for
Pills, and the feature of novelty I claim for my Invention is the use of any and
every Box, of any and every size, shape and material whatsoever, in the manner
substantially as described herein, for the manufacture of Paper Conical Packages
for Pills.
