WRAPPER FOR CLOTHING, ETC.

Application filed October 23, 1922.

'1 0 (0/7 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JoHN D. Home, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrappers for Clothing, Etc, of which the following is a s )ecification.

This invention relates to wrappers or envelopes, for clothing or the like. The wrapper is made from asin 'le piece of heavy manilla wrapping paper or the like. The paper forming the wrapper is cut to form a main or body portion and flaps which are adapted to be folded over onto the body portion, to confine clothing etc. and are held in this position by means of fasteners consisting of metal buttons, to some of which are attached pieces of cord. After the wra iiper has been folded, enclosing clothing, the strings or cords are pulled tight and wrapped around the buttons on the opposite flaps to hold the wrapper in closed condition.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a View of the wrapper in closed position, the strings being; made secure to the buttons. Fig. 2 is a view showing the two end flaps closed and fastened. F 3 is a view showing the Jper in open position.

"ihe v-xrapper made of a single piece of heavy paper. which is cut so as to form a main portion ti. two end tiaps T and 8, and In each of the flaps is one or more metal buttons 11 which are used in fastening the wrapper in closed condition. To the button in the flap 7 is attached a cord 12 and to the button or buttons in the flap 9 are attached cords 13.

In operation, the vcontents are first placed on the main portion of the wrapper 6. Then the flaps 7 and 8 are folded, on the dotted lines. over the same, and are held in this position by means of the string 12, attached to the flap 7, being wound around the button Serial No. 596,291.

11 on the flap 8, (see Fig. The iiap 1.0 is then folded up, on the dotted line and over the flaps 7 and S, and the flap 9, carrying" the strings, is folded down and over the flap 10. The strings 13 are then made secure to the buttons in flap 10, and the wrapper is completely closed, as shown in Fig. 1.

This 'rapper will be found very convenient for the purposes described, and the same can be cheaply and quickly manufactured, and sold at a very low price. Inasmuch as the flaps are disconnected except where they join the body of the blank, the wrapper is adapted to contain a larger or smaller quantity of clothing or the like.

These tiaps are each decreased in width toward the free end, whereby to facilitate the folding of the wrapper, in that there will be no tendency for adjacent corners of the flaps to obstruct the path taken by a flap in its folding.

The invention is not limited to the disclosure described but may be modified in various ways within the scope of the fol lowing claim.

I claim:

A wrapper comprising a one-piece paper blank of substantially rectangular configuration, a flap at each edge, each flap being decreased in width towards its free edge whereby to facilitate folding, cord carried by one end flap, a button carried by the opposite end flap for co-action with the cord, a pair of longitudinally spaced cords carried by one of the side flaps and a pair of spaced buttons carried by the opposite flap and adapted to co-act with said spaced cords to secure the flaps together.

In testimony whereof, I atlix my signa ture in presence of two witnesses.
