Improvements in Milk-carrying Cans and other Receptacles.
I WILLIAM PARNALL of 108 Victoria Street in the City and County of
Bristol Grocers Outfitter 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 improvements in milk carrying cans or the like.
The object being the protection of the interior of the can from bruising bulging,
or other damage, and thus retaining its capacity as a measure, which may be
verified and officially stamped.
I aim to attain the above described object by providing an outer casing or jacket,
which may be either corrugated, embossed, ribbed or otherwise strengthened, and
which may be fixed or attached by suitable bands, hoops, or other fastening,
in such manner as may admit of its being either portable or securely fixed to
the can.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1. represents a convenient method of securing, or fixing the outer casing to
the can, being a vertical sectional view of the complete can with the outer casing in
position, the section being taken vertically through the centre of the can, as
indicated by the line Z Z on Fig. 2.
But nothing herein described or illustrated shall prevent me from securing or
fixing the outer casing to the can, by any other ordinary or convenient method.
A is the can. B the outer casing. C is a collar, or band, which may be either
fitted close down upon the outer casing B, or firmly fixed to the same.
D is a
washer, or cushion, made from indiarubber or other suitable material, and is placed.

intended to hold from leaking through between the can A, and the collar C, when
filling or emptying the can A, or at any other time. E is the usual cover to
the can A.
The outer casing B may be secured, or fixed to the can A, by two or more
clips F and F and pins G, or by any other ordinary, or convenient fastening,
fixed either at the joint H, or at the joint J as shown, or at any other convenient
place.
K and K are handles, fixed either to the outer casing B, or to the can A, by
rivets or other suitable fastening.
Fig. 2. is an elevation of the complete can, with the outer casing shown in
position, similarly as described in Fig. 1, and which may be made in a round,
square, or other suitable form.
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.) A railway milk carrying can, or the like protected by an outer casing to
prevent bulging, or other damage to the said can, substantially as hereinbefore
described, and set forth.
(2.) The construction of an outer casing, corrugated, embossed, ribbed, or
otherwise strengthened, substantially as herein before described and set forth.
(3.) The combination of a railway milk carrying can, or the like, and an outer
casing, substantially as herein described and set forth.
Dated this 3rd day of September 1896.
WILLIAM PARNALL.
