I STUART EDWARDS of No. 33 Queens Down Road Clapton London, E. Water
Colour Artist and Designer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of straw or
paper board or paper suitable for packing bottles and other articles.
I make the board by receiving a coarse pulp on to a wire gauze in the ordinary
manner of paper making.
The sheet of pulp I cause to pass from the gauze to an endless felt and thence to a
roller with projections upon it.
I cause the sheet to be lapped partly around the roller so that the moist pulp may
have time to adapt itself to the projections and the hollows between the projections.
To further ensure this I apply a counterpart roller and the pulp passing between
them is nipped and pressed. The board or paper when dry retains the indentations
which it thus receives. When bottles are enveloped in such moulded board or paper
it forms a most efficient protection.

I, STUART EDWARDS of No. 33 Queens Down Road, Clapton, London, E., Water
Color Artist and Designer, 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 :-
--
This invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of straw or
paper board or paper suitable for packing bottles and other articles.
I make the board by receiving a coarse pulp on to a wire gauze in the ordinary
manner of paper making.
The sheet of pulp I cause to pass from the gauze to an endless felt and thence to a
roller with projections upon it.
I cause the sheet to be lapped partly around the roller so that the moist pulp may
have time to adapt itself to the projections and the hollows between the projections.
To further ensure this I apply a counterpart roller and the pulp passing between
them is nipped and pressed. The board or paper when dry retains the indentations
which it thus receives. When bottles are enveloped in such moulded board or paper
it forms a most efficient protection.
In the annexed drawings Figure 1 shows in plan a piece of straw-board, paper
board or stout paper having projections and indentations formed upon it whilst in
process of manufacture in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a section on the line A A in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a transverse section of the pair of rollers employed in the manufacture.
The rollers shewn by Figure 3 have corresponding projections and indentations and
these are adapted the one to the other so that as the rollers revolve the projections.
enter truly into the indentations. The board or paper as it leaves the felt of the
paper machine is led on to one of these rollers and it passes between them being then
in a moist and soft state the board or paper conforms to the projections and inden-
tations of the rollers and when the board or paper is dried, as it then is in the usual
way, it retains the form which has been impressed upon it. The drawing shows the
projections on one side only but they may be made on both sides if preferred.
Where it can be conveniently done I bring two sheets of board or paper together
between the rollers shewn by Figure 3 one sheet being brought in over each roller

page_text: and the pressure of the rollers causes the sheets to cohere and form a single sheet of
the double thickness.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The process of producing projections and indentations on straw, or paper board,
or paper by passing such board, or paper during the process of manufacture (and
whilst the same is moist and soft) over a roller or between rollers provided with
suitable projections, or with projections and hollows substantially as hereinbefore
described.
