PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boxes for Containing Bottles..
I, JABEZ NALL of The Spring Vale Saw Mills, Penistone, in the County of
York, Case Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to boxes commonly employed for storing and carriage of
bottles of the class such as are used for containing soda water, and other efferesent
drinks and the object is Firstly the construction and application of the divisional
fittings of such boxes as to provide facilities for removal for 'cleaning or other
purpose and ready replacement" of the dividing laths and stays. Secondly.
Improved end boards for such boxes whereby the hand hole is provided without
cutting away a portion of the end boards and for securing the end boards to the
bottom boards.
I
'
According to this invention the divisional laths have cross rods forming the
divisional squares-the ends of the rods are received in; blocks of wood the outer
angles being rounded off so as to accommodate the form of bottle without increase
in width of the box. The ends of the latter are received in blocks having a
groove' or channel in which the ends of the laths, slide, and by which they are
held a screw through two or more of the rod blocks above referred to secure
the whole firmly in position within the box. On removal of the screws the laths,
rods and the blocks can be lifted out of the box, without withdrawing nails, or
otherwise any risk of fracturing any part of the box or its divisional parts.
i..
The ends of the box is made from two pieces of board the upper and narrower
one being divided or separated from the lower one so that an opening or hand hold
is provided without cutting a hole for the hand through the end board as is now
commonly practised. A bolt is passed through the bottom board near each corner
and longitudinally through the two end boards there being a collar of wood or a
bobbin on each bolt between the two boards that is to say in the hand opening-the
upper ends of the bolts do not project above the upper ends of the boards but are
a little short thereof and a hole is sunk in the boards around each bolt so that the
nut can be screwed on the bolt and lie in the recess below the level of the end
boards that there be no projecting bolt end and not to obstruct the packing or
storing of the boxes one upon the other and which otherwise would be liable
to be knocked and the box ends of the boxes fractured or damaged. The inner
angles of the boxes' are strengthened' by angle irons.

I JABEZ NALL of The Spring Vale Saw Mills, Penistone, in the County of
York, Case Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention 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 boxes commonly employed for storing, and carriage
of bottles of the class such as are used for containing soda water, and other
effervescent drinks, and consists of:-
Firstly: An improved construction and application of divisional fittings of
such boxes, so as to provide facilities for removal for cleaning or other purpose,
and ready replacement of the dividing laths and stays.
Secondly-Improved end boards for such boxes whereby the hand hole is
provided without cutting away a portion of the end boards, and for securing the
end boards to the bottom boards.
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
in which:-
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the improved box.
Fig. 2. is an end view of the improved box.
Fig. 3. is a sectional side elevation of the improved box.
According to this invention the divisional laths I have cross rods 2 forming the
divisional squares 3 within which are to be placed the bottles. The ends of the
rods 2 are received in blocks of wood 4, the outer angles being rounded off as at 5,
so as to accommodate the form of bottle without increasing the width or length of
the box. The ends of the laths I are received in blocks 6 each having a groove
or channel 7 in which the ends of the laths 1 slide, and by which they are held.
A screw or nail through two or more of the rod blocks 4 above referred to, secure
the whole firmly in position within the box. On removal of the screws, the laths 1,
rods 2 and the blocks 4 can be lifted out of the box without withdrawing nails, or
otherwise incurring any risk of fracturing any part of the box or its divisional
parts.
The ends of the box are made from two pieces of board 8.9 (see Fig. 2.) the
upper, and narrower one 8 being divided or separated from the lower one 9, so
that an opening or hand hold 10 is provided without cutting a hole for the hand
through the end board as is now commonly practised. A. bolt or rod 11 is passed
through the bottom board 12 near each corner, and through the two end boards 8. 9
there being a collar of wood, or a projecting piece, or a bobbin 13 on each bolt
between the two boards 8. 9, that is to say in the hand opening 10. The upper
ends of the bolts 11 do not project above the upper ends of the boards 8, but are
a little short thereof, and a hole is sunk in the boards around each bolt, so that a
nut 14 can be screwed on the bolt, and lie in the recess 15. below the level of
the end boards 8 that there is no projecting bolt end to obstruct the packing
or storing of the boxes one upon the other, and which nut 14 otherwise would
be liable to be knocked off, or the ends of the boxes fractured or damaged.
The inner angles of the boxes are strengthened by angle irons 16.
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
(1.) The general construction, arrangement, and combination of parts constituting
the improved box for purpose aforesaid, and substantially as illustrated by annexed
drawings

page_text: (2.) The combination of the box, and laths 1, rods 2, and blocks 4 for purpose
herein described, and substantially as illustrated by Figs. 1 and 3. of the annexed
drawings.
(3.) The improvements in boxes for purpose aforesaid wherein is employed the
boards 8. 9 spaced so as to provide hand holes 10, as described and illustrated by
Figs. 2 and 3 of the annexed drawings.
