Improvements in Containers or Carriers for Bottles, Mineral Water
Syphons, and the like.
I, AUGUSTE EMILE HENRI LOZÉ, of 281, West Derby Road, Liverpool, in the
County of Lancaster, Aerated Water Manufacturer, 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, reference being had
to the accompanying drawings:-
The object of this invention is to provide, for the carriage of bottles, syphons,
&c., a strong and durable container, or carrier, little liable to damage, and so
constructed that such bottles &c. shall be more secure against breakage than has
been possible hitherto; and that the partitions or divisions in such container shall
not be liable to become detached therefrom.
For these purposes I make use of a framework held together by bolts; the sides
of the framework are filled in with interlaced or woven fibrous material such as
rope. The bottom of the carrier is constructed of cross bars secured to the side
bars of the framework in any usual way. I construct the partitions or divisions
in the carrier of rope or like fibrous material interlaced or woven with the ropes
forming the sides of the framework so that such partitions form a part of the
structure and cannot become detached therefrom.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a plan, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section at AA on Fig. 1 of a
container or carrier constructed according to my invention, a are bars forming
the upper edges of the carrier. b are bars forming the lower edges and bottom
of the carrier. c are uprights or distance pieces connecting the upper and lower
bars. These uprights are in the form of bolts for connecting the bars securely,
together so that the whole forms a rigid framework. The sides of the carrier are
formed of ropes d interlaced or woven together and round the uprights c thus
making soft and flexible sides which will yield if the bottles &c. are knocked or
shaken against them, thus preventing damage to such bottles. eel are the
interior partitions or divisions formed of rope wound backward and forward across
the carrier and interlaced or woven with the ropes & forming the sides, and also
round the uprights c. The ropes forming the partitions e, e', may be tied
together at where they cross each other if desired, and the ropes constituting
each partition are also tied close to the sides at 3 to prevent loops being formed.
Partitions thus formed are strong and not liable to become loose from the
sides and at the same time they are soft and flexible thus yielding to shocks,
thereby preventing breakage of bottles.
The ropes or fibrous material forming the sides and partitions are preferably
coated or saturated with oil or other preservative substance.

page_text: 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
1. A container or carrier for bottles and the like having sides of interlaced or
woven flexible fibrous material, combined with interior partitions or divisions of
flexible fibrous material interlaced or woven with such sides or with the frame-
work of the sides, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The combination with a container or carrier for bottles and the like, of
partitions of flexible fibrous material interlaced or woven with the sides of such
.container or carrier, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
