IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ENVELOPES FOR HOLDING ARTIFICIAL FLIES & HOOKS TO GUT
Year: 1884

page_text: I WILLIAM GUISE of 26 Hewell Road Redditch in the County of Worcester,
Needle and Fishing Tackle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ENVELOPES FOR HOLDING
ARTIFICIAL FLIES & HOOKS TO GUT to be as follows:-
I make my Envelope of strong paper, paper cloth, thin metal, or any other
suitable material. When completed, and on being pressed at the sides, the
Envelope forms a cone shaped bag with two apertures, one at the top and one
at the bottom, the upper one being made sufficiently wide to allow the hooks
attached to the Gut to be passed in and out easily, the lower one being made
in a like proportion, sufficiently small to hold the Gut well together, & at the same
time prevent the possibility of the hooks slipping through and thus also avoiding
the necessity of binding the gut to-gether with silk as in the ordinary method. At
the upper or wide opening is a flap so constructed as to fold over and close the
Envelope with a tuck & slit in the side.
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
I. That by means of my new Envelope Artificial Flies and Hooks to Gut can be
held together with greater security and with the employment of a smaller amount
of material than by any known method of wrapping.
II. That by means of my method of wrapping, Artificial Flies and books to Gut
are more accessible and more easily returned to their cover than by other methods
and thus much time is saved both to salesmen and to Fishermen.
III. The Envelope is simple in construction, requires but one fold, saves much
trouble, precludes danger to the fingers, and can be carried in the pocket without
fear of injury to the person.

page_text: I, WILLIAM GUISE of 26 Hewell Road, Redditch in the County of Worcester,
Needle and Fishing Tackle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ENVELOPES FOR HOLDING
ARTIFICIAL FLIES AND HOOKS TO GUT, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
Imake ny envelope of strong paper, paper cloth, thin pliable metal, or any
other suitable material. When completed and on being pressed at the sides the
envelope forms a cone shapel bag, (Fig. I) with two apertures, one at the top
(Fig. I. A) and one at the the bottom, (Fig. I B) the upper one being made
sufficiently wide to allow the books attached to the gut to be passed in and out
easily (Fig. II) the lower one being made in a like proportion sufficiently small to
hold the gut well together and at the same time prevent the possibility of the Hooks
slipping through (Fig II. B.) and thus also avoiding the necessity of binding the
Gut together with silk as in the ordinary method. At the upper or wide opening
is a flap (Fig II. C.) so constructed as to fold over and close the Envelope with a
tuck and slit in the side. (Fig III. C.)
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 Envelope constructed substantially as herein-before described.
WILLIAM GUISE.
