PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Packing Glass Bottles.
I, JOHN SMITH, of 24, Duncan Street, in the County of the City of Glasgow,
North Britain, Golf Club Maker and Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:--
This invention relates to an improved method of packing glass bottles in boxes
or barrels whereby much less room is taken up than by the existing method of
packing.
In carrying out my invention I enclose each bottle within an envelope formed of
thin wood or match boarding, specially prepared or not, made up of a series of
overlapping pieces, stitched, faced, or otherwise similarly connected together. At
two different points of the envelope, I encircle the envelope circumferentially
with a band of rope or analogous stranded material formed of manilla, jute,
esparta grass, or other fibrous material and these are secured to the envelope
by the stitching already mentioned.. These two bands encircle the body of the
bottle, one at the bottom or thereabouts, and another at or near the shoulder
or commencement of the neck, in such a manner that when the bottle is packed
or during transit they act as a cushion or pad, and so protect the bottle from
injury. Under this arrangement the bottles are packed in opposite directions,
that is to say, body to neck and neck to body.

An Improved Method of Packing Glass Bottles.
I, JOHN SMITH, of 24, Duncan Street, in the County of the City of Glasgow,
North Britain, Golf Club Maker and Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement; —
My invention relates to an improved method of packing glass bottles in boxes
or barrels whereby much less room is taken up than by the existing method of
packing.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried
into effect I have hereunto appended sheet of drawings, of which,
Figure 1 is a plan of the material before being converted into the envelope or
noakat

page_text: Figure 2 is a front elevation of the envelope or pocket, before being crushed at
top.
Figure 3 is similar view with top crushed and with four bands of rope
encircled round envelope.
Figure 4 is a similar view with the bottle encased ready for packing, and with
two bands of a rope only.
Figure 5 is a plan of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a front elevation of a slightly different construction of envelope.
In carrying out my invention I enclose each bottle A within an envelope B
formed of thin wood U specially prepared or not, and made up of a series of over-
lapping pieces, stitched, laced, or otherwise similarly connected together. At
two or more different points of the envelope, I encircle the envelope circum-
ferentially with a band of rope D, or analogous stranded material formed of
manilla, jute, esparta grass, or other fibrous material, and these are secured to
the envelope by the stitching already mentioned. These bands encircle the body
of the bottle, and in the case of two only being used, one is at the bottom or
thereabouts and the other at or near the shoulder or commencement of the neck
in such a manner that when the bottle is packed or during transit they act as
a cushion or pad and so protect the bottle from injury. When more than two
cords are employed, they encircle the envelope at equal distance from each other
as shewn in Figure 5.
In Figure 6 the envelope is made up of one piece of wood and a cord is encircled
round inside of envelope to protect neck, as shewn in dotted lines.
The upper end of the envelope is crushed round the neck of the bottle and a
cord E twisted round it to keep it in position as shewn in Figure 4. Under this
arrangement the bottles are packed in opposite directions, that is to say, body
to neck and neck to body.
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:
-
The method of packing bottles by means of an envelope constructed substan-
tially as and for the purposes herein before described and illustrated in the accom-
panying sheet of drowings
