Complete Specification Left, 12th Feb., 1896-Accepted, 14th Mar., 1896
I, CAMILLE THIEBAUT, of 21 Rue de Pantin, Aubervilliers (Seine), in the
Republic of France, Printer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved packing material which is more particularly
although not exclusively intended as a protective covering or envelope for bottles
or other articles composed of fragile material and as a substitute for the ordinary
corrugated or fluted packing material over which it has the advantage of being
lighter and less expensive.
The essential feature of my invention consists in the use of a backing and a
facing sheet or layer of paper or other suitable material between which are
interposed fragments of cork or other resilient substance. These fragments of
cork may vary in size according to the purpose for which the packing material is
intended.
In carrying out my invention the backing sheet may be of comparatively thick
One surface of both
paper and the facing sheet of comparatively thin paper.
these sheets is coated with adhesive substance and the fragments of cork are then
spread over the surface of the backing sheet while the adhesive substance is still
wet. The facing sheet is then laid upon the fragments of cork with its adhesive
surface downwards. The material is next subjected to moderate pressure and the
whole allowed to dry, after which the material can be cut up into sheets of the
desired size. If found more advantageous the adhesive substance may be applied
to the fragments of cork instead of to the surface of the sheets.
In place of producing my packing material from sheets of paper as above
mentioned it may be produced from continuous rolls of paper or other material of
the requisite width and substance.
Packing material made in accordance with my invention will possess considerable
resiliency so that, unlike ordinary corrugated or fluted packing material, it will
not become permanently indented if subjected to blows.
My improved packing material may be made of sufficient thickness and strength
to serve as partitions for use with cases or boxes for containing bottles.
My improved packing material may also be used for other purposes where a
covering of cork is requisite, as for instance, for preventing radiation of heat from
steam pipes, steam generators and the like.

An improved Packing Material.
I, CAMILLE THIEBAUT, of 4 Rue Demarquay, Paris, in the Republic of
France, late of 21 Rue de Pantin, Aubervilliers (Seine), in the Republic of France,
Printer, 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 an improved packing material which is more particularly
although not exclusively intended as a protective covering or envelope for bottles
or other articles composed of fragile material and as a substitute for the ordinary
corrugated or fluted packing material over which it has the advantage of being
lighter and less expensive.
The essential feature of my invention consists in the use of backing and a
facing sheet or layer of paper or other suitable material between which are
interposed fragments of cork or other resilient substance. These fragments of
cork may vary in size according to the purpose for which the packing material is
. intended.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a sheet of my improved packing
material, and
Figure 2 is a transverse section of a sheet of packing material of modified
construction.
Figure 3 is a similar view of a sheet of packing material having two layers
of cork.
Referring to Figure 1, A is the backing sheet, B is the facing sheet, and C is
the cork or other resilient substance.
The backing sheet A may be of comparatively thick paper and the facing
sheet B of comparatively thin paper. One surface of both these sheets is coated
with adhesive substance and the fragments of cork C are then spread over the
surface of the backing sheet while the adhesive substance is still wet. The facing
sheet B is then laid upon the fragments of cork C with its adhesive surface
downwards. The material is next subjected to moderate pressure and the whole
allowed to dry, after which the material can be cut up into sheets of the desired
size. If found more advantageous the adhesive substance may be applied to the
fragments of cork instead of to the surface of the sheets.
In the modified form of packing material shown in Figure 2 the facing sheet of
paper is omitted.
In place of producing my packing material from sheets of paper as above
: mentioned it may be produced from continuous rolls of paper or other material of
the requisite width and substance.
Packing material made in accordance with my invention will
possess considerable
resiliency so that, unlike ordinary corrugated or fluted packing material, it will
not become permanently indented if subjected to blows.
•
My improved packing material may be made of sufficient thickness and strength,
to serve as partitions for use with cases or boxes for containing bottles or other
goods. In this case it would preferably be composed of alternate layers of paper
and fragments of cork as shown in Figure 3. In order to impart additional
stiffness to the partitions thus made, I may provide their faces with thin sheets of
wood or other suitable material.
D
Sheets constructed of a number of layers of cork as above described may be used
in substitution for paste-board for manufacturing any desired articles and cases or
boxes of any required shape. My improved packing material may also be used

page_text: for other purposes where a covering of cork is advantageous, as for instance, for
preventing radiation of heat from steam pipes, steam generators and the like.
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. Packing material manufactured from sheets or layers of paper or other
suitable material and fragments of cork or other resilient substance substantially
as described.
2. Packing material manufactured substantially as described with reference to
one or other of the examples illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
