Complete Specification Left, 30th July, 1895-Accepted. 31st Aug., 1895
1, THOMAS PINK, of Staple Street, Long Lane, Bermondsey, in the County of
London, Manufacturer and Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification
No. 7241 of 1888.
According to the said invention a closed preserve vessel is made by taking a
glass pot or other vessel with a flat top edge and attaching to it a flat cardboard or
other case by means of an adhesive cement.
According to my present invention I take a vessel which has an edge which is flat
in the sense that the top surface lies in a plane and will come into contact all round
with a flat cardboard cover, but the section of the edge of which at any point is
rounded or V-shaped. I find that if a card is pressed into such an edge with
adhesive cement it makes a good joint. In some cases I indent the card by
pressure before attaching and cementing it to the pot, which also makes a good
joint.
Both these modifications of the former invention result in the secure closure of
vessels containing jam and other preserves.
Dated this 30th day of October 1894.

I, THOMAS PINK, of Staple Street, Long Lane, Bermondsey, in the County of
London, Manufacturer and Merchant, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements ou the invention described in Specification
No. 7241 of 1888.
According to the invention described in the said Specification a closed preserve
vessel is made by taking a glass pot or other vessel with a flat top edge and
attaching to it a flat cardboard or other case by means of au adhesive cement.
According to my present invention I take a vessel having an edge which is flat,
in the sense that the top surface lies in a plane, and will come into contact all round
with a flat cardboard cover, but the section of the edge of which at any point is
rounded or V-shaped. I find that if a card is pressed on to such an edge with
adhesive cement it makes a good joint.
Both these modifications of the former invention result in the secure closure of
vessels containing jam and other preserves.

page_text: My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a glass tumbler having a cover applied
thereto according to my invention, and,
Figure 2 is a view of a cover detached.
a is the tumbler having a rounded edge b and c is the cover made of cardboard
or other suitable material the said cover being applied by pressing it tightly on to
the top of the vessel adhesive cement being employed to make a tight joint.
In some cases I indent or groove the cover by pressure prior to its application to
the vessel and I find that this cover when applied with adhesive cement also makes
a good joint. Such a grooved cover is represented in section in Figure 2,
d indicating the groove.
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. Closing bottles, jars and the like the edges of which are rounded or V-shaped
in section by pressing and cementing on to such edges covers of cardboard or the
like substantially as described.
2. Closing bottles, jars and the like, the edges of which are rounded or V-shaped
in section by cementing to the said edges covers indented to fit the edges,
substantially as described.
Dated the 30th day of July 1895.
