THOMAS CRAVEN, 16 & 22, Marsden Court, Fennel Street, Manchester,, Basket,
Skip, and Hamper 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:
-
The buffalo hide is cut in strips the width & length varying according to the
part of basket that is to be covered or bound with same. If the foot or upset of
a basket is to be covered or bound with buffalo hide, and should there be a smooth
and rough side to the hide, whichever side has to appear at front or outside of
basket is placed facing the basket, with the edge that has to appear at or near top
of upset a few inches from bottom, and the edge that will afterwards be fastened
to bottom directed upwards towards the top or border of basket. The buffalo hide
is then secured or fastened at the edge that is horizontal or near top of upset with
wire, revits, nails, iron plates, screws, nuts & bolts or stitches of any kind or
any other method of fastenings that the basket may require or may be neccessary;
the edge that is directed upwards towards the top or border of basket is then
turned and drawn towards the bottom, over the fastenings, so forming a hemm
to the part or edge first fastened. It is then fastened to the bottom or underpart
of basket with nails & wires, or any other fastenings that may be neccessary.
This invention is appliable to any size, shape, or pattern of baskets, skips hampers
& the like or any basket skip & hamper lids or covers or any part or section of a
part of baskets skips hampers & the like. The lid ends, corner caps, hide corners,
label plates, and hide tops or borders are all fixed bound or attatched to baskets,
skips and hampers by the same method as the foot or upset mentioned above.

except that the edge that is nailed, is fastened inside of basket skip or hamper
(whereas Figs. 14, 15, 16 and 17 is nailed flat to the bottom of basket).

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
.
1. The turning over or hemming of the buffalo hide.
