PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Boxes and Cases for the Carriage of Bottles, Jars,
or Fish and similar Boxes and Cases.
I, JAMES DAWSON of 10 Stanley Street, Redbank, Manchester, in the County of
Lancastor, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to boxes and cases for the carriage of mineral water, beor,
wine and spirit bottles, jars, or fish and similar boxes and cases and consists in an
improved arrangement of the frames made of hoop iron or other tough metal bands
for strengthening said boxes for which Letters Patent No. 11885 dated the
17th August 1888 have been granted to me. My improvement consists in dis-
pensing with the top bands running along the top of the ends of the boxes as
described in the Specification for the above named Patent, and in carrying the cross-
bands at the end of the undersides of the boxes up the edges of the sides and bending
them over the top edge of the ends either for a short distance or till they meet and
securing them to the top by screws, nails or equivalent means. The crossbands are
in this case made of a slightly less width than the thickness of the end boards. The
longitudinal bands may be carried up the ends and turned over the top edge and
fastened in with the crossbands.
Dated this 11th day of November 1889.

I JAMES DAWSON of 30 Garnett Street Hightown, Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Commercial Traveller 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:
My invention relates to boxes and cases for the carriage of mineral water, beer,
wine and spirit bottles, jars or fish and similar boxes and cases and consists in an
improved arrangement of the frames made of hoop iron or other tough metal
bands for strengthening said boxes for which Letters Patent No. 11885 dated the
17th August 1888 have been granted to me.
On the sheets of drawings appended hereunto Fig. 1 shows a side view, Fig. 2 an
end view and Fig. 3 a top view of a box with the improved arrangement of
metal band frame.
My improvement consists in dispensing with the top bands running along the top
edges of the ends of the boxes as described in the Specification for the above
Damned Patent, and instead thereof carrying the crossbands cd at the ends of the
bottom B of the box up the edges of the sides C and bending them over the top edge
of the ends A of the box either for a short distance or till they meet and securing
them by nails or screws for equivalent means as shewn on the drawings. The
longitudinal bands ab may be carried up the ends A and turned over the top edge and
fastened in with the crossbands e and d, as shewn on the drawings, or carried further
along the top edge of the sides C, or stop short of the top as shewn in dotted lines for
the central longitudinal band g. Intermediate crossbands for the bottom of the box
may be used.

page_text: 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
In frames made of hoop iron or equivalent metal bands for boxes for the carriage
of bottles, jars or fish and similar boxes and cases the arrangement of two crossbands
at the ends carried up the sides and along the top edges of the box or case in com-
bination with two or more longitudinal bands and with or without intermediate
crossbands, substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.
