Improvements in the Manufacture of Cases or Receptacles for
Margarine and other Alimentary Substances.
We, HENRY LAMING, of No. 5 Water Lane, in the City of London, Merchant
and FREDERICK HANDEL MILLINGTON, of Thetford, in the County of Norfolk,
Manager and Secretary to The Patent Pulp Manufacturing Company, Limited, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of cases or receptacles
for margarine and other alimentary substances, and has for its object to obtain a
lighter and more convenient receptacle than heretofore, and which, when emptied,
will also be useful for household or other purposes.
For this purpose, in lieu of making the cases or receptacles of wood or earthen-
ware as heretofore, we form them of wood pulp, paper pulp, or other vegetable
fibre, moulded into any desired shape and ornamented with any suitable pattern
upon the exterior surface thereof.
In carrying our invention into effect, we employ a form or mould of the shape.
of the article required to be produced and formed of perforated metal or wire
gauze, and we introduce therein a given quantity of the pulp or fibre and remove
the greater part of the water therefrom by the aid of a vacuum pump, or other
suitable means.
The case or receptacle which is now semi-dry may be removed from the mould
and pressed by hydraulic power in order to compact it and impress a pattern or
ornament thereon and partially or entirely express any remaining moisture there-
from, after which the article may be dried in any suitable drying apparatus and
painted enamelled or varnished or otherwise ornamented.
Dated this 30th day of September 1890.
