shire, Engineer and Technical Instructor, JOHN MORGAN 10, Grange Terrace

Place Llwynypia, Glamorganshire, Mining Contractor, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to workmen's drinking jars, pots and bottles, earthenware
and other vessels liable to breakage when in use; and consists of a metal case
made in such a form so as to serve as a shield, to prevent breakage of same from
ordinary concussions.
The cushioning is obtained by fitting a series of zig-zag strips of metal, to the
inside of the case so as to intervene between the inside surface of the case and the
outside surface of the article to be shielded.
With this invention, the handles generally attached to the various articles to
which it may be applied, are advantageously dispensed with, as they are con-
veniently substituted by suitable handles, secured by rivets or otherwise to the
shield.
