PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cases or Receptacles for Packing Bottles and other
similar articles.
We, OLUF ARTHUR PFEIFER, of 2, Dagnan Road, Balham Hill, London, S.W.,
Commercial Clerk and WILHELM MARTIN JOHNSEN and JOHAN JÖRGENSEN,
trading as Johnsen & Jörgensen, of 4, 5, & 6, Bury Court, St. Mary Axé,
London, E.C., Merchants, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in cases or receptacles for packing
bottles and other similar articles, and has for its object the provision of a case
or covering for the packing and protection or safety in transit of glass bottles
or jars, or similar articles liable to breakage, and in the case of the transit of the
same by parcel post to comply with the regulations of the postal authorities.
In order to carry out this invention we provide a block of wood of square,
round, or any convenient shape in section, and of such a length as to be sufficient
to cover the length of the bottle or article to be enclosed. These blocks of wood
may be cut or sawn from a prepared length or strip of wood.
The block is then hollowed or bored out down its length to a depth and of a
diameter or capacity sufficient to enclose the bottle. The open end of this bored
or hollowed part is screwed to receive a cap or stopper, the lower part of which
is also screwed or threaded to fit into the same. A perfectly air or watertight
joint is obtained by providing an indiarubber ring of any convenient section,
which fits into corresponding ring grooves on the shoulder of the bottle case and
the rim of the cap or cover, or if more convenient the said india rubber ring may
rest upon the plane surface of the shoulder of the cap.
The interior of the hollowed or bored part of the bottle case may be lined with
corrugated paper or any other convenient material to prevent percussion of the
sides of the bottle or other article with the casing hereinbefore described.

-
This invention relates to improvements, in cases or receptacles for packing
bottles and other similar articles, and has for its object the provision of a case
or covering for the packing and protection or safety in transit of glass bottles
or jars or similar articles liable to breakage, and in the case of the transit of the
same by parcel post to comply with the regulations of the postal authorities.
In order to carry out this invention we provide a block of wood of square,
round, or any convenient shape in section and of such a length as to be sufficient
to cover the length of the bottle or article to be enclosed. These blocks of wood
may be cut or sawn from a prepared length or strip of wood.
The block is then hollowed or bored out down its length to a depth and of
a diameter or capacity sufficient to enclose the bottle. The open end of this bored
or hollowed part is screwed to receive a cap or stopper which may be made of
wood or any other suitable material, the lower part of which is also screwed or
threaded to fit into the same. A perfectly air or water-tight joint is obtained
by providing an india rubber ring of any convenient section which fits into corre-
sponding ring grooves on the shoulder of the bottle case and the rim of the cap
or cover, or if more convenient the said india rubber ring may rest upon the plane
surface of the shoulder of the cap.
The interior of the hollowed or bored part of the bottle case may be lined with
corrugated paper or any other convenient material to prevent percussion of the
sides of the bottle or other article with the aforesaid casing and if preferred may
be also provided with a quantity of sawdust or other absorbent matter.
In
In order that this invention may be readily understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1, represents a vertical section through a
case or receptacle as herein described, Fig. 2, is an outside elevation of the same,
Fig. 3, is a plan of the same and Fig. 4, is an elevation of the screwed cover.
these several views A is the body of the case or receptacle bored out internally
at B, and screwed at the top C, for the cover D). E is the screwed part of the
cover which fits and screws into the top of screwed part C of the case or receptacle.
F is an indiarubber ring or washer, which forms an airtight joint when the cap or
cover is screwed on.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
1. The provision of a case or receptacle for packing bottles and other similar
articles for the purpose of protection in transit or other similar conditions
requiring protection of said bottles substantially as and for the purpose herein
set forth and described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
