Improvements in or Applicable to Packages for Canning or
Preserving Articles Used as Food, or in Plates Applicable
for the Manufacture of the same.
I, WILLIAM POWELL of 4 Cook Street, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
Produce Broker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO PACKAGES FOR CANNING OR PRESERVING ARTICLES
USED AS FOOD OR IN PLATES APPLICABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF THE SAME,
to be as follows:-
Tinned plates have been found objectionable for use in the making of cans or
tins in which foods and other articles are preserved or packed, as they sometimes
have a deleterious effect on the article placed in the can.
The object of my invention is to provide a material from which cans or packages
may be made which will not deteriorate or injure the article placed therein.
The invention consists in forming a plate which has for its basis tin plate, sheet
iron, steel or other tough metal and covering the same with a coating of papier
maché paper or similarly prepared material. A thin coating of the material is
either cemented to the metal plate in any suitable manner, taking care that cement
not easily acted upon by the food to be preserved or the heat employed be used-
or the organic or fibrous material is spread on the metal in the state of pulp, and a
suitable mucilage or cement used to make it adhere to the plate, the cement or
mucilage can either be first spread on the plate, and then over laid by the pulp, or
it can be incorporated with the pulp and the two spread on together. The ceinent
I prefer is a gum or resin dissolved in a solvent, and added to Hour paste, dextrine
or other similar compound.
This invention is primarily designed for use in the making of packages for
storing or preserving food stuffs, but I do not limit it to such application, as
packages may be made from it for other purposes, or the plate may be applied for
other purposes for which tin plates are at present employed. The seains can be
made by overlapping, soldering or preferably both, the coating being removed at
the parts soldered by burning scraping, or otherwise if necessary.

in Plates Applicable for the Manufacture of the same.
I, WILLIAM POWELL of 4 Cook Street, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
Produce Broker, 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 :-
Tinned plates have been found objectionable for use in the making of cans or
tins in which foods and other articles are preserved or packed, as they sometimes
have a deleterious effect on the article placed in the can.
The object of my invention is to provide a can or package or a material from
which such may be made, for making cans or packages which will not deteriorate or
injure the article placed therein.
The invention consists in the first place in forming a plate having as a basis tin
plate, sheet iron, steel or other tough metal and covered with a coating of papier
maché or paper or similar material. The plate to be used (preferably tin-plate, is
manufactured in the ordinary way, and if necessary washed or otherwise prepared
to render the surface free from foreign matter. To the plate is then cemented a
thin coating of the material, this may be applied in a variety of ways, either by
applying a sheet of the material, or by spreading the organic or fibrous material on
the metal plate in the state of pulp, and a suitable mucilage or cement used to
make it adhere to the plate, the cement or mucilage can either be first spread on
the plate, and then overlaid by the pulp, or it can be incorporated with the pulp
and the two spread on together. The method I prefer however is to take the tin
plate, clean it, and cover it with a mucilage or cement, and then apply a sheet of
the material of which it is to be covered. This is then passed through rollers and
placed in a drying room until thoroughly set. The plates may be covered on one
or both sides with the material. The cement or mucilage to be used is preferably a
preparation made from fish skins to which is added flour paste, dextrine or other
similar compound with a little salyeilie salicylic acid.
The plates so prepared are then cut up and made by any of the well-known methods
into cans or packages for storing or preserving food stuffs. The seams in these may
be made by overlapping, soldering or preferably both, the coating being removed at
the parts soldered by. burning, scraping or otherwise if necessary.
I do-not-however
limit the invention to such-application, as packages may be made from it for other
purposes, or the plate may be applied for other purposes for which tin plutes are ut
present employed.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
+. The manufacture and use of plate for the making of cans, packages and the
like, or for other purposes having a base of tin plate, sheet iron, or other tough
metal and a coating thereon of papier maché or similar material.
3. A can or package for storing food stuffs or other material, presenting an
internal surface of papier maché or similar material conted upon a base of tin plate,
sheet iron, or other tough material.
