PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Tins for Preserves and the like.
1, VINCENT VICTOR CLAIRET of 95 Boulevard Beaumarchais Paris in the Republic
of France, manufacturer of preserves, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows
:—
The present invention relates to improvements in tins for preserves fruits and the
like and its object is to provide the tins with an interior wooden lining completely
covering the metal thus avoiding any contact between the preserves contained in the
tin and the tin itself.
Up to the present the tins for the reception of preserves were used without any
lining, and the direct contact of the preserves with the metal gives the former a
disagreeable and often unhealthy or injurious metallic flavour. To avoid this I furnish
the tins with a wooden lining. It is evident that such kinds of wood must be used
for this lining which would not on their part impart any flavour to the contents, and
the wood may be treated previous to the using thereof to extract all its flavour or even
to give it a certain flavour which it is desired to impart to the preserves.
I preferably use oak for the lining of the tin as it has the most solidity and only
possesses a flavour of tannin which on one hand is the least disagreeable and on the
other can be easily removed.
To this end 1 boil the oak already cut to the required thinness in water to remove
the greater part of the tannin; this is done preferably in closed vessels to attain a
temperature of about 110° centigrade.
Then the wood receives a last boiling in the water in which the articles to be
preserved have been boiled, this refers especially to preserved sorrel which I have
particularly in view.
If the wood thus prepared is not used at onco after the boiling thereof it must be
kept in hermetically closed vessels.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION:
Improvements in or relating to Tins for Preserves and the like.
I, VINCENT VICTOR CLAIRET of 95 Bd. Beaumarchais, Paris in the Republic of
France, manufacturer of preserves, 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 improvements in tins for preserves, fruits and the
like, and its object is to provide the tins with an interior wooden lining completely
covering the metal thus avoiding any contact between the preserves contained in the
tin and the tin itself.
Up to the present the tins for the reception of preserves have been used without any
lining, and the direct contact of the preserves with the metal gives the former a
disagreeable and often unhealthy or injurious metallic flavour. To avoid this I furnish
the tins with a wooden lining. It is evident that such kinds of wood must be used
for this lining, which would not on their part impart any flavor to the contents, and
the wood may be treated previous to the using thereof to extract all its flavor or even
to give it a certain flavor which it is desired to impart to the preserves.
Fig. 1 represents a tin for preserves in vertical section and lined with wood. Fig. 2
represents a tin for preserves in horizontal section.

page_text: In the drawing A is the body of the tin, B the lining of the body.
CC represents top and bottom of the tin, and DD the lining of the top and
bottom.
The drawings figures 1 and 2 represent a tin of cylindrical shape but this invention
can be applied to tins or cases of any shape or size.
I preferably use oak for the lining of the tin as it has the most solidity and only
possesses a flavour of tannin which on one hand is the least disagreeable and on the
other can be easily removed.
To this end I boil the oak already cut to the required thinness in water to remove
the greater part of the tannin; this is done preferably in closed vessels to attain a
temperature of about 110° Centigrade.
Then the wood receives a last boiling in the water in which the articles to be
preserved have been boiled, this refers especially to preserved sorrel which I have
particularly in view.
If the wood thus prepared is not used at once after the boiling thereof it must be
kept in hermetically closed vessels.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. Lining metal tins or cases with wood to prevent any metallic taste or flavour
being imparted to the contents substantially as described.
2. The treatment of the wood for the removal of the tannin or other objectionablo
flavour or quality substantially as specified.
