We, GEORGE KILVERT, NICHOLAS KILVERT and HARRY VERNON KILVERT, of
the firm of N. Kilvert & Sons, of Mark Lane, Withy Grove, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Lard Refiners, do hereby declare the nature of the said inven-
tion to be as follows :-
Our invention consists in the construction of paper boxes, cases or receptacles to be
used for holding, storing and carrying fruit jams or preserves and jellies.
The receptacles are made cylindrical, the bottom and lid are made of tough card
board commonly termed "Leather board" that side which is to be inside is or may
be faced with thin ordinary paper pasted thereto.
Circular discs of this tough card or "leather board," are cut and are forced or
compressed while moist into heated dies which mould and turn the edges of the discs
into the cylindrical form. A piece of card board is or may be also faced same as the
ends and lids of the box or receptacle with ordinary paper and then by with what is
known as "vegetable parchment paper," which is turned over three of the edges of
the card board.
This piece of card board, prepared as above described, is then formed into a
cylinder on a block or core, and the two longitudinal edges are joined and secured
together by suitable cement, the vegetable parchment paper surface being inside, and
the longitudinal edge upon which the vegetable parchment paper is turned over comes
between the two surfaces which are united and cemented together.
Upon the card board cylinder thus formed, one end prepared as above explained is
secured by glue or other suitable cement but before the end bottom of the box is
placed on the cylinder the inside of the prepared disc has a ring of vegetable parch-
ment paper cemented to it and before the bottom is placed upon the end of the
prepared cylinder a disc of vegetable parchment paper is placed over the end of the
cylinder and when the bottom is put on the margin of the vegetable parchment disc

coated with cement) and the cylindrical part of the lid or bottom which has also had
cement applied to its cylindrical interior, so that the bottom of the cylinder is thus
made securely air tight. The lid of the box is made same as the bottom and it
may have a disc of vegetable parchment paper applied to it, if desired. There is also
an exterior strengthening piece of card board cemented round the cylindrical part,
so that the exterior of the box forms a uniform cylinder.
When the receptacles or boxes are filled with jam, preserve or jelly and the lid is
applied they are or may be pasted over with paper to secure the lid upon the box, and
when required the lid may be made perfectly fluid tight by securing it by means of
a disc of vegetable parchment and cement in the same manner as described for
securing the bottom or end to the cylinder.

We GEORGE KILVERT, NICHOLAS KILVERT and HARRY VERNON KILVERT, of the
firm of N. Kilvert & Sons of Mark Lane, Withy Grove, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Lard Refiners 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 :-
Our invention consists in the construction of paper boxes, cases or receptacles_ to
be used for holding, storing and carrying fruit jains or preserves and jellies and other
substances.
The receptacles are made cylindrical, the bottom and lid are made of tough card
board commonly termed "Leather board" that side which is to be inside is or may be
faced with thin ordinary paper pasted thereto.
Circular discs of this tough card or "leather board" are cut and are forced or com-
pressed while moist into heated dies which mould and turn the edges of the discs into
the cylindrical form. A piece of card board is or may be also faced same as the ends
and lids of the box or receptacle with ordinary paper and then by with what is
known as vegetable parchment paper, which is turned over three of the edges of the
card board.
This piece of card board, prepared as above described, is then formed into a
cylinder on a block or core, and the two longitudinal edges are joined and secured
together by suitable cement, the vegetable parchment paper surface being inside, and
the longitudinal edge upon which the vegetable parchment paper is turned over comes
between the two surfaces which are united and cemented together.
Upon the card board cylinder thus formed, one end prepared as above explained is
secured by glue or other suitable cement but before the end bottom of the box is
placed on the cylinder the inside of the prepared disc has a ring of vegetable parch-
ment paper cemented to it and before the bottom is placed upon the end of the
prepared cylinder a disc of vegetable parchment paper is placed over the end of the
cylinder and when the bottom is put on the margin of the vegetable parchment
dise comes and is secured between the exterior end of the prepared cylinder (which
is coated with cement) and the cylindrical part of the lid or bottom which has also
had cement applied to its cylindrical interior, so that the bottom of the cylinder is
thus made securely air tight. The lid of the box is made saine as the bottom and it
may have a disc of vegetable parchment paper applied to it if desired. There is also
an exterior strengthening piece of card board cemented round the cylindrical part so
that the exterior of the box forms a uniform cylinder.
When the receptacles or boxes are filled with jam, preserve or jelly or other
substance and the lid is applied they are or may be pasted over with paper to secure
the lid upon the box, and when required the lid may be made perfectly fluid tight by
securing it by means of a disc of vegetable parchment and cement in the same manner
as described for securing the bottom or end to the cylinder.

page_text: Fig. 1 shows a flat view of the cardboard for the body part a of the box (the
middle part being supposed broken away) made of any suitable card-board that
preferred being known in the trade as straw-board."
፡፡
That side of the cardboard a which is to be inside the box is first covered or faced
by preference with ordinary white paper pasted thereon, and upon this face a piece of
what is known in commerce as "parchment paper" of a larger size than the piece of
card board a is pasted over the white paper so that the edges of the parchment paper
can be turned over the edges of the card board a.
The extent to which the parchment paper is turned over the edges of the cardboard a
is shown by the lines a¹ and a² and a³.
The piece of card-board a is next formed into a cylinder, as shown, by fig. 2, the
two edges being glued together and overlapping to about the extent shown between
the lines at and a fig. 2.
Then a disc of parchment paper b is stretched over the lower end of the cylinder
and its edges from 6 to 6' fig. 3 are glued to the sides of that end of the cardboard
cylinder which is to form the bottom of the box.
Then a band c of straw board is glued round the cylinder and covers the edges of
the parchment paper as shown in fig. 4, the junction of the two ends of the band c
round the cylinder or body being on the opposite side by preference to the overlapping
joint of the cylinder as described in reference to fig. 2."
Next the bottom end of the box d is applied over the parchment paper being secured
by glu, between the parchment paper and the cylindrical surface of the end or
bottom of the box d, and the lid d' of the box lined in its inside with parchment paper
glued thereto is applied to complete the box as shown in fig. 5.
When the box is filled with the substance it is to hold, a disc of parchment paper
is or may be placed and glued or otherwise secured over the end of the box before the
lid is placed thereon if desired.
When thus packed the entire outside of the box has or may have a printed or
ornamented or other cover of paper pasted round it to secure the lid
strength, and the ends of the box are or may be covered in like manner.
and give
The ends or bottom and lid of the box are made from discs of cardboard, that
which we prefer being known as "leather-board," these discs being moistened and
then forced in a well known manner by a ram into a die or box heated by steam or
otherwise, by which operation the ends or lids of the box are formed as shown in fig. 6
an inside flat, view and fig. 7 a section.
The dotted circle in fig. 6 shows the size of the flat disc of "leather-board" before
being moulded or formed into the lid or bottom as described.
The ends of the lids or bottoms are or may be embossed with any desired design or
impression.
Where glue has hitherto been spoken of any other suitable cement may be used
instead.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
Boxes, cases or receptacles formed by the combination of card board and parch-
ment paper substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the drawings.
