IMPROVEMENTS IN BOXES
Year: 1885

page_text: I EDWARD MARTIN KNIGHT of 77 Saint Dunning Vale, Everton, Liverpool, in
the County of Lancaster, Commission Agent, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN BOXES to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of boxes suitable for
containing emery powder black lead or other like material and the object is to so
construct the box that its exterior may be labelled in the course of manufacture
and afterwards the box filled with material without soiling or dirtying the labelling
or exterior of the box.
I employ an outer casing of paper, card board, or other material, of cylindrical,
or other form, (open at both ends) and which may be labelled in course of manu-
facture-The box proper, is of size, and form, equal and corresponding to, the
interior of the outer casing referred to, and is closed at one end, and provided
with a lid at its other end.
When the box is to retain its position, within its outer casing, its outside is
gummed or glued, before being introduced to its casing, and for use in connection
with powders, such as emery powder, black lead, and the like, the lid is perforated,
or composed of perforated zinc, and closed by a paper label or covering, so that
when the latter is removed, the perforations are exposed, and the contents may be
shaken or dredged out as required.
For some purposes, the inner or box, proper, will not be fastened to its outer
covering, but left loose, so that it may slide telescopically in and out of its outer
covering.

page_text: I EDWARD MARTIN KNIGHT of 77 Domingo Vale, Everton, Liverpool, in the
County of Lancaster, Commission Agent, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BOXES and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of boxes suitable for
containing emery powder, black lead or other like material, and the object is to so
construct the box that its exterior may be labelled in the course of manufacture
and afterwards the box filled with material without soiling or dirtying the
labelling or exterior of the box.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification in which
Fig. 1. is a side elevation of the outer casing or cylinder.
Fig. 2. is a side elevation of the inner or box proper.
Fig. 3. is a section of Figs. 1 and 2. shewing the box partway in its containing
cylinder.
In construction of boxes according to this my invention I employ an outer
casing 1. of paper card board or other material of cylindrical or other form (open at
both ends) and which may be labelled in course of manufacture-The box proper 2.
is of size, and form, equal and corresponding to the interior of the outer casing 1.
referred to and is closed at one end 3. and provided with a lid 4. at its other end.
When the box 2 is to retain its position within its outer casing 1. its outside is
gummed or glued before being introduced into its casing 1. and for use in con-
nection with powders such as emery powder, black lead, and the like the lid is
perforated as shewn at 5, or composed of perforated zinc and closed by a paper
label or covering so that when the latter is removed the perforations, 5. are
exposed and the contents may be shaken or dredged out as required.
For some purposes the inner or box proper 2. will not be fastened to its outer
covering 1. but left loose so that it may slide telescopically in and out of its outer
covering 1.
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-
1. The construction of boxes in parts as and for the purpose herein fully
described.
2. The combination of an outer casing or cylinder with a box to fit or slide
inside as herein fully described.
