IMPROVEMENTS IN ARTICLES KNOWN AS ROY-BOW'S OR COSSACKS
Year: 1869

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Alfred Tyler, of Mark Lane, in the City of
London, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN ARTICLES KNOWN AS
ROY-BOW'S OR COSSACKS."
Scaled the 2nd July 1869, and dated the 6th January 1869.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Alfred Tyler at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
6th January 1869.
I, ALFRED TYLER, of Mark Lane, in the City of London, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN ARTICLES
KNOWN AS BOX-BONS OR COSSACKS," to be as follows:-
It has hitherto been the practice in making "bon-bons" or "cossacks"
to form them of a small bottle containing scent or sweetmeats, and to
enclose the bottle or sweet in colored paper tied with a cord near its
ends, the paper having been printed with flowers or other designs
according to the taste of the maker.
Now my present Invention consists in making "bon-bons" or cossacks
in a novel and extensive manner, by which bon-bons of greater com-

page_text: mercial value and use can be made. I take, say, an ordinary bottle of
champagne, wine, or other bottle of large dimensions, and exclose it in
paper, either fancy or plain, colored or not colored, or in silk or satin, or in
any other material. This paper or other material may have ribbon bound
round it to secure the bottle within it. I then fasten natural or artificial t
flowers, flags or banners, or other emblems on the outside by adhesive
gum, pins, or other fastenings,
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Alfred Tyler in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 6th July 1869.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, ALFRED
TYLER, of Mark Lane, in the Oity of London, send greeting.

that I, the said Alfred Tyler, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
or such others, as I, the said Alfred Tyler, my executors, adminis-
trators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others,
from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel

KNOWN AS BOX-BONS OR COSSACKS," upon the condition (amongst others)
that I, the said Alfred Tyler, my executors or administrators, by an

NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Alfred Tyler, do hereby declare

the following statement thereof, that is to say :—
It has hitherto been the practice in making "bon-bons or cossacks
to form them of a small bottle containing scent or sweetmeats, and
to enclose the bottle or sweets in coloured paper tied with a cord
near its ends, the paper having been printed with flowers or other
dosigns according to the taste of the maker,
Now my present Invention consists in making bon-bons or cossacks
in a novel and extensive manner, by which bon-bons of greater com-
mercial value and use can be made. I take, say, an ordinary bottle of
champayne, wine, or other bottle of large dimensions, and enclose it in
paper, either fancy or plain, coloured or not coloured, or in silk, satin,
or in any other material. This paper or material may havo ribbon
bound round it to secure the bottle within it, I then fasten patural or
artificial flowers, flags or banners, or other emblems on the outside by
adhesive gum, pins, or other fastenings.
And having now described the nature of my said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim,
making bon-bons or cossacks, substantially in the manner herein-before
described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Alfred Tyler, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Sixth day of July One thousand eight
