Improvements in Packages for Wrapping up Money and the like.
I, WILLIAM PACKWOOD, of Blisworth, R.S.O., Northamptonshire, Traveller, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention for improvements in packages for wrapping up money and the
like, has for its object to provide means by which silver, or copper can be readily
made up into packages as required in banks and the like; so as to prevent tamper-
ing and by means of which it is known who is responsible for the packing of each
individual package, and by means of which the silver and copper are readily
distinguished.
In carrying this invention into practical effect, a strip of paper or other material
is secured lengthwise round each bag and as each bag is made up the loose ends
of the said strip are overlapped and gummed or otherwise secured over the closure
of the bag. It will be seen that the bag can then only be opened by tearing or
breaking the strip. Suitable particulars, such as packed by.
checked
and sealed by
and the date may be printed upon each strip and
filled in with the names or initials of those responsible for each package.
The marking of each bag such as £5. Silver or 5/- copper will be done across
the strip as a further preventative of any tampering, and preferably the bands
are of various colours for silver and copper, and also if desired for the different
quantities.

I, WILLIAM PACKWOOD, of Blisworth, R.S.O., Northamptonshire, Traveller, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
-
This invention for improvements in packages for wrapping up money and the
like, has for its object to provide means by which silver, or copper can be readily
made up into packages as required in banks and the like so as to prevent tamper-
ing and by means of which it is known who is responsible for the packing of each
individual package, and by means of which the silver and copper are readily
distinguished.

page_text: In carrying this invention into practical effect, a strip of paper or other material
is secured lengthwise round each bag and as each bag is made up the loose ends
of the said strip are overlapped and gummed or otherwise secured over the closure
of the bag. It will be seen that the bag can then only be opened by tearing or
breaking the strip. Suitable particulars, such as packed by," "checked and
sealed by" and the date may be printed upon each strip and filled in with the
names or initials of those responsible for each package.
The marking of each bag such as £5 silver or 5/- copper will be done across
the strip as a further preventative of any tampering, and preferably the bands
are of various colours for silver and copper, and also if desired for the different
quantities.
Referring to the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a
package according to this invention prior to the closing up, and Fig. 2 is a
perspective view showing the opposite side thereof the bag being closed up.
A strip of paper a or other suitable material is secured lengthwise round each
bag and provided with loose ends a¹, as shown in Fig. 1. When the bag is made
up the loose ends a¹ are overlapped and gummed or otherwise secured. It will
be seen that the bag can then only be opened by tearing or breaking the strip a.
Suitable particulars, such as packed by
checked and sealed
by
date
may be printed upon each strip and filled
in with the names or initials of those responsible for each package.
Upon the other side the bag is marked £5 silver or 5/- copper as shown in
Fig. 2 according to the contents.
These particulars are printed partly on the bag itself and partly on the strip
so as to act as a further guard against tampering. These particulars may how-
ever be printed entirely on the strip if desired.
The bands are of various colours for silver and copper and also if desired for
the different quantities.
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:-
(1) In connection with packages for wrapping up money and the like, a strip of
paper or other material secured lengthwise round each bag, the loose ends of the
said strip being overlapped and fastened down over the closure of the bag and
suitable particulars to be filled in by those responsible for the packing and indica-
tions as to the value and character of the contents being printed across the strip
substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
