We, ELI MILLINGTON of 234 Buckley Lane, New Bury, Packer, and PETER
LEYLAND of 122 Piggott Street, Collier, both of Farnworth near Bolton in the
County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as
follows:-
This invention refers to improvements relating to skips and cases employed for
packing cops, yarn, and other similar fibres and is designed to allow of packing being
performed without injuring the contents and for performing the same without the
aid of a weight or weights as at present employed to hold down the lid or cover
during the operation of securing the same. This we accomplish by constructing a
metallic frame on which each skip or case is placed, and is provided with uprights
to receive metallic rods extending to a point above the lid or cover.

Improvements relating to Packing Skips and Cases..
We, ELI MILLINGTON of 234 Buckley Lane, New Bury, Packer, and PETER
LEYLAND of 122 Piggott Street, Collier, both of Farnworth near Bolton in the
County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in
what manner, the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention refers to improvements relating to skips and cases employed for

being performed without injuring the contents and for performing the same without
the aid of a weight or weights as at present employed to hold down the lid or

with uprights to receive metallic rods extending to a point above the lid or cover.

page_text: DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal side elevation of a skip or case for packing cops, yarn,
and other similar fibres with our improved apparatus in position for holding down
the lid or cover without the aid of weights-
Fig. 2 is an end view of skip or case mounted on metallic frame ready to receive
pressing or holding apparatus-
Fig. 3 is a plan of metallic holding frame, and Fig. 4 is a plan of pressing
lever.
A is intended to represent a skip or case, and B the lid or cover. The metallic
frame C, on which the skip or case A is placed, is provided with the uprights D
having the holes E to receive the metallic rod or rods G extending to the point H
above the lid or cover B. To the rod G is pivoted the lever or presser I by the
pin J. The short end of the lever or presser I operates on the lid or cover B to
press down the same when the handle O is raised, the same being held in position
by the serrated lip or projection M, secured to the lever 1, gearing into the ratchet
or serrated curved rod K pivoted to the metallic rod G by the pin L. After the
end of the lid or cover on which the apparatus is fixed has been secured to the skip
or case by the usual means, the lever or presser I is released therefrom by slightly
raising the handle to allow of the ratchet or serrated rod K being pushed forward-
sufficiently to disengage the same from the lip or projection M on the lever 1, after
which the rod G and its appendages may be moved to the next end or side to be
operated upon, and so on until the lid or cover is secured, after which the packed
skip or case may be removed from the metallic frame; the holding down of the lid
or.cover B, to allow of its being secured, having been effected without the aid of
a weight or weights as employed hitherto for the purpose.
If desired the rod G,
ratchet or serrated rod K, lever I, and the serrated lip or projection M may be
duplicated to operate on two ends or parts of the lid or cover B at one and the
same time.
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 :-
In combination with a skip or case having a cover or lid the use of apparatus
substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
