COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Wrapping Material for Bottles, China, and other Fragile Artioles or
Materials.
We, ERNST FRIEDRICH HEINRICH WILHELM HEUER, Restaurant Proprietor,
and BERNHARD HANS HEINRICH WULFF, Manufacturer, both of 73 Untertave,
Lübeck, in the German Empire, 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 present invention relates to a means for packing, enveloping or wrapping
various kinds of fragile objects, such, for instance, as glass bottles, china ware,
glasses and similar goods.
These wrappers or packings, besides being exceedingly cheap and simple to
manufacture, give greater security than heretofore against damage or breakage of
the objects which it is intended to protect.
The principle of the invention will be more easily explained by reference to the
accompanying drawing in which the packing or wrapper is shown suitable for
application to a bottle.
Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same.
One or several sheets of paper or linen b are provided with a layer or coating of
pulverized cork or other suitable material, which is made to adhere to the former
by means of glue or the like. After having become well dried, i.e., when the
pulverized material a (preferably cork) thoroughly adheres to the sheets b, the
latter are doubled or folded over in such a manner as to bring the material a
between two outside sheets b. Pieces, according to the size of the objects to be
wrapped or packed up therein, are cut and the upper and lower edge of the said
wrappers b are then turned over and glued together in such a manner as to enclose
the material a on all sides by the material b.
The prepared wrapper is then finished up by means of laces or fasteners to suit
the form of the object to be packed therein.
The drawing shows, by way of example, a bottle wrapper which has been
manufactured according to the present invention.
The object is simply introduced into the wrapper and may now be placed without
auy fear directly into a van and thus a great saving in time as also in special
packing cases may be effected.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
Wrapping material for glass, china and other fragile objects, which is made by
applying cork or other suitable substance a in either a pulverized or non-pulverized
state, through the medium of glue or other suitable cementing or binding means,
to sheets of paper or linen b, the wrapping material being afterwards folded and
finished up to suit the shape or form of the object to be covered or protected
thereby, for the purpose of affording greater protection than heretofore against
damage to the object inside the wrapper.
