PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cosaques or Crackers.
I, JAMES PASCALL of Valentine Place, Blackfriars Road in the County of
Surrey, Wholesale Confectioner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
:-
I make the inner wrapping or the outer covering or both, of cosaques or crackers
with a row of cuts or perforations in zig-zag or other forms crosswise in a straight
line or in undulating or zig-zag lines for the purpose of ensuring the pulling apart
in the desired place, avoiding the loss or spoiling of the contents and disfigurement
of the exterior and preventing disappointment. The row of perforations may be
at or near the middle or in any other desired place. I may use more than one
row and the perforations may, as an example, be one row of same to one side of the
middle in the inner wrapping and another row to the opposite side of the middle
in the outer covering, whereby the contents will be retained within one or other
end or part of the cosaque when it is pulled apart, but without giving an indication
beforehand as to which end it will be.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cosaques or Crackers.
I, JAMES PASCALL of Valentine Place Blackfriars Road, in the County of
Surrey Wholesale Confectioner, 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 :-
I make the inner wrapping or the outer covering or both of cosaques or crackers
with one or more rows of cuts or perforations in zig zag or other forms crosswise in
a straight line or in undulating or zig zag lines for the purpose of ensuring the
pulling apart in the desired place avoiding the loss or spoiling of the contents and
the disfigurement of the exterior and preventing disappointment. The row or rows
of perforations may be at or near the middle or in any other desired place.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shews as an example a cracker the
gelatine and paper coverings of which are all but separated in the middle at A by
a transverse row of zig zag cuts so that a slight pull wholly will separate the
covering and usually preserve the contents from being spilt or spoilt.
In the example Figure 2 there is a diagonal row of zig zag cuts at A.
In Figure 3 there is a row of perforations at A to one side of the middle.
Figure 4 shows a cracker with two undulating rows of cuts and
Figure 5 shews yet another example in which a row of perforations is provided
at A in the outer coverings to one side of the middle and another such row A' in
the inner wrapping whereby the contents of the cracker will be retained within one
or other end or part of same when pulled apart but without giving correct indication
beforehand as to which end it will be.
Various combinations of the features of the above examples may be formed as
will be obvious without need for giving further examples. Moreover the per-
forations or cuts need not run in the directions as shewn but may run in any
undulating zigzag or other direction.
