A kit for making boxes from paper card stock. The kit has a flat plate with a guide rail with a vertical edge projecting above the surface of the plate parallel to one edge of the plate. A scoring groove traverses the plate parallel to the vertical edge of the guide rail. One or more spacing strips, each having a vertical edge, may be placed between the vertical edge of the guide rail and the scoring groove to vary the depth of the box. The overall size or "footprint" of a box made in accordance with the invention is determined by the distance of the scoring groove from the nearest vertical edge and the size of the blank card stock employed. Two identical sized card stocks are used for each box. A slightly wider spacing strip is used to form the top than the spacing strip used to form the bottom of the box. This also makes the depth of the box bottom slightly greater than the box top. The kit includes a scoring plate, two sets of spacing strips and a scoring tool, and is used to fashion boxes in a variety of shapes and sizes. In another embodiment of the kit the scoring plate has guide rails and score lines on both sides, wherein the guide rail on one side is spaced slightly further away from the score line than on the other side to make the box bottom slightly smaller in size than the box top. |

An envelope maker made of two pieces, a template which is used as a guide to dimension paper to the correct size and having a central cut out portion to position a second piece, called the center piece, with respect to the paper. The center piece is left on the paper while the template is removed. The center piece is then used as a guide to fold the paper into an envelope, and adhesive is applied to secure the folded parts of the paper in an envelope shape. |

A portable unit useful as a household appliance for making plastic bags from multi-layered plastic films. The unit comprises a housing which includes a compartment for a roll of multi-layered plastic film, a lid for the housing which, when closed, defines an elongated slot with the housing for the withdrawal of the plastic film and a hinge means between the lid and the housing for closing and opening the lid. A wire element is mounted on the upper front edge of the housing and an electric circuit, including a switch, in said housing is used to energize said wire when the lid is firmly closed. A first insulating strip overlies the wire and a second insulating strip in the lid is adapted to firmly overlie said first insulating strip. The lid also includes a channel and a cutting means slidably mounted in said channel for severing the plastic bags, and a post for actuating the switch when the lid is closed. |

Apparatus for forming bags of desired length from flattened plastic tubular stock material and subsequently sealing them at the open end thereof. The apparatus includes housing means having supporting means within the housing means for rotatably mounting a supply roll of the flattened stock material, with guide means in vertically spaced relationship to the supporting means cooperating with advancing means including a pair of rollers for engagement with the stock within the housing means in vertically spaced apart relationship to said guide means. Base means and heat sealing means form a pair of transversely extending seals. Dual cutting means cuts the bag to any desired length and a vertical slot between the seams is formed as a pouch for inserting a label to identify the contents. The apparatus also includes means to seal the open end of the bag with the contents therein. |

A kit for making boxes from a paper card stock is described. The kit comprises a flat plate having a guide rail with a vertical edge projecting above the surface of the plate parallel to one edge of the plate. A scoring groove traverses the plate parallel to the vertical edge of the guide rail. One or more spacing strips, each having a vertical edge, may be placed between the vertical edge of the guide rail and the scoring groove to vary the depth of the box. The overall size or "footprint" of a box made in accordance with the invention is determined by the distance of the scoring groove from the nearest vertical edge and the size of the blank card stock employed. The card stock preferably comes in two sizes for each size box, one for the bottom and one for the top. The card stock used for the top is slightly larger than the stock used for the bottom so that the same spacers may be used for scoring folding lines for both the top and the bottom and, at the same time, providing a mating fit therebetween. The kit, which comprises the scoring plate, spacing strips and a scoring tool, may be used to fashion boxes in a variety of shapes as well as sizes. |

Device for heat-sealing or cutting thin foil of synthetic material between two dies which are linked to each other and can be pressed together against a restoring force including:(a) a table-like support having a recess in the underside of the support parallel to the front edge of the support,(b) a spring disposed in the recess,(c) a base strip movable in and out of the recess, the strip movable into the recess upon the application of pressure to press the two dies together, and the strip movable out of the recess upon the release of the pressure by the spring as the restoring force,(d) the table-like support having a pivotable edge on the underside of the support parallel to and to the rear of the base strip to permit the support to pivot on the edge when the base strip is moved into the recess,(e) one die fixed to the top surface of the table-like support,(f) another die disposed above the fixed die movable to press against the fixed die, the movable die having the form of a U-shaped yoke with the legs of the yoke fixedly attached to the yoke and movable therewith,(g) transmission members including two-armed levers which are hinged at one end at the sides of the base strip and at the legs of the U-shaped yoke at the other end, and the levers at an intermediate point between the points of hinging are pivotally fixed to the support, whereby pressing down on the front of the support causes the base strip to move into the recess making the two-armed levers pivot around the intermediate point thereby effecting lowering of the yoke. |
