the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to the packing or packing cases for hooks and eyes, pins
and other similar articles.
The invention consists in providing the packet, letter, envelope or whatever it

transparent material such for example as celluloid. By this means the nature of
the contents can be ascertained, the packet being in other respects the same as
before.
More than one of these openings protected by transparent material may be
used and they may be of any desired shape or size or pattern. For example they
may be made to represent the initials of the firm selling them or may otherwise
be utilised for advertisement purposes, trade marks or the like.

what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to the packing or to packing cases for hooks and eyes,
pins and other similar articles.
The invention consists in providing the packet, wrapper envelope or whatever
it may be termed in which the goods are enclosed, with one or more openings
which are closed by some form of transparent material such for example as
celluloid. By this means the nature of the contents can be ascertained, the
packet being in other respects the same as before.

The accompanying drawings, throughout which like letters refer to like parts,
show by way of example various wrappers constructed according to this invention.
In Figures 1 and 2 A is a folded paper wrapper such as is commonly employed
for pins in the front of which is an opening B closed by a slip of say celluloid C
forming a window through which the contents of the package can be seen.
celluloid slip is made somewhat larger than the opening to be closed, so as to
overlap the edges of the opening; the overlapping edges of the celluloid are shown
in dotted lines at C. The opening B. in Figure 1 is circular and that in Figure 2
elongated. The end A¹ of the wrapper is slipped inside the other end A2 as is
usual. The opening B is shown in Figure 3 in the form of a shield.

As shown in Figure 4 the opening B occupies the greater portion of the front
of the wrapper which is in the form of an envelope, the seam A³ being visible
through the transparent front; when in use a false back, preferably of coloured

Figure 5 shows a, slightly different arrangement requiring no further
explanation.
Figures 6 and 7 show a box-like form of envelope with little side flaps A5 to
the opening through which the objects are inserted. This opening may be along
a short or a long edge.
In Figure 8 the opening B is shown cut to the shape of the letter N which
might represent that the package contained needles. Or the letter might be
chosen to indicate the name of the maker or the full name might be so set forth.
The same purpose. may be effected by painting or embossing or otherwise
delineating a trade mark or a name or other symbol or device upon the trans-
parent covering as indicated in Figure 9.
Any design or symbol for the purpose of identification or advertisement or other
purpose may be conveniently set forth on the transparent covering C.
Although any desired flexible transparent material may be employed for this
covering, such as mica, gelatine, or celluloid, the last named has been found very
suitable and is preferred on account of its cheapness, durability, and ease of
application.
The envelopes or wrappers are suitable for packing pins, needles, hooks and
eyes, safety or blouse pins, buttons and other similar objects..
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:
