Fo r the purposes of thp, present diselostire and disc-ussion I have.selected -,I coni,- entional cirton packa,-e B and a CoA7ering 105 she(, t C.

entirely about fhe sides of the box or package B with a stiitable ovei-lap at its opp"site edges. In its shorter dimension the sheet C overlaps the ends of the box sufficiently 6 so that witen the e-iid overhang is tucked iii and folded down the end of the container B is neatly and completely covered. In practice the eovering sheet C is completely coated upon its inner or under face as the 10 sheet appears in Fig. I with fresh glue so that it is in a, readily adhering and uniform moi'stened state. In'Tiindling the p,,tcl@age and sheet herein used as illust'rations the sheet C is preferis ably applied to tlle top edge of the package B bein- so positioned that when folded down against the side panels of the package the shorter end C', o'L the wrapper slightly overhanc@s the bottom ed(,Ye of the package, C2 20 wbile ti7@ sli,-Iitly longei@ opposite end overh,ings stifficiently to @ive ,t siiitable lap for covering the bottom e ge of the package as appears in Fig. 11, Considering m3, rfetli-od step by step it 26 will there' ;ore be seen that the @rst st,--p co-Tisists in bringi.- ,ig 'clie p-ackige Pnd covering s'iieet in@uo cc,-7it,-,ct in sucli rel@-@,tion as @co deterinine, the ul'bimate wirp ad.cl I)ositioi-i the Daiiel.9 or ar-2as of the coverii-.i ,4 sh,-et C 20 pref@rq-blv on the v@iriou@-@ ftees oi:'the pacl@- B.

In the thii-d step (see Fig. II-'L) the nar40 row end 01 of ,be -viv--i-ciriper is turned UD-der and i@tni'ued to the i@djaceht stirface o-@F' the packa(_fe B. li-i "@'ie next step 'lie -,@vider n(i C2 O-C. tlle -e -kvrapl)er is laicl op. the saine face of the I)ack,.i,-(@ iii overl,%-I)ping rela45 tion to 'he end C' (se,@, Fiiz.

So miieh of my metliod is in accord,,ince witb general practice in labellino, and wrapping. I next proceed as slio-wii in-Fig. V to t-i-irn inwirdly 55 two opposite portions of the overhang at eaeb end ancl brinq, them into contact at opposite portions of the ends of the box as iiidicated at X, wbich are thu$ the narrow end flaps of the wrapper. At the same time 60 bv means of the oppositely-rotating fingers I liold out the intermediate portions of the overhan- or wide end flaps Y of the wr,ipper, so cl t-hat said flaps Y are drawii back on each side into stibstantially the Or) plane of the box end. The narrow fla"ps X a-re brti--hed dovin by the reciprocating pairs of briislies D, thi,,s determining the smootlillv drawn edges X:. The intermediate wi@le flaps Y thus formed are tlius far oi)lv i-ou,-hly 4efined ii-i that their diagonal 70 folds htve not. yet been made and as yet their removal from tlte, norrnal planes of the box sides lias onl ' y been temporary. At this point I introdtice a nove@l s,tep of great practical iinportance. This step consists 75 in determinina tl-ie folds y wliieh detp-rmine the tiltimate shape of tl)@ flap Y. At the same tinie I)v brinaing togethei, and uniting the contacting fa@'es of the covering sheet in this fold I secure a permaiiency which 80 is of -reat advantage especially in view of stibseqiient steps. In addition io this backiiig for tt-ie flaps Y I give to these flaps t porminent set in the pl,4ne at the end of 4clie p,,Lclrage formiiig a ri,-ht an(rled crease 85 @vith the si(les of the box. This- step may be -tecomplisbed bi, the rolls G, Fig. VI ivhich iron the fla@,3 Y agtinst suitable contact surface -ts I-j'i.
