PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manner of Securing or Fixing the Lining of
Baskets and like Receptacles for Packing Laundered and other
Goods.
We, THOMAS POWRIE, of 33 Glen Street, Paisley, in the County of Renfrew,
North Britain, Blacksmith, and JOHN SCOTT EADIE, of 12 High Street Paisley
aforesaid, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manner of securing or fixing the
lining of baskets and like receptacles for packing laundered and other goods.
In carrying this invention into practice we fix to each of the inside corners of
the basket a piece of what is known as buffalo skin, or other suitable material,
cach having two hooks riveted or otherwise secured thereto. Along both sides and
ends of the basket and resting in these hooks there is a thin bar or rod of cane,.
wood, or other suitable material, to which the lining after being placed in the
basket, is secured by means of small springy clips. When the lining has to be
taken out to be cleaned or for the purpose of repairing the basket, the clips are
easily removed either by the hand or by the aid of pliers, and when the lining has
again been replaced the clips keep it in position in the manner as already described.
It will be obvious therefore that by these improvements there will both be a saving
of time and expense.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION. .
Improvements in the Manner of Securing or Fixing the Lining of
Baskets and like Receptacles for Packing Laundered and other
Goods.
We, THOMAS POWRIE of 33 Glen Street, Paisley, in the County of Renfrew,
North Britain, Blacksmith, and JOHN SCOTT EADIE of 12 High Street, Paisley
aforesaid, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and the manner
in which the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to improvements in the manner of securing or fixing the
lining of baskets and like receptacles for packing laundered and other goods.
In order that our invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect, we have hereunto appended one sheet of drawing, of which
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a basket shewing our improvements applied
thereto, while
Figure 2 is a detached view shewing one method of fixing the hooks or eyes
to the basket. One end of the hooks it will be observed passes through the
wands.
In carrying our invention into practice we fix to each of the inside corners of
the basket A a hook or eye B, or these hooks or eyes B may be riveted or otherwise
secured to a piece of what is known as buffalo skin, (or other suitable material fixed

page_text: to the corners of the basket. Along both sides and ends of the basket A and
resting in these hooks or eyes B there is a thin bar or rod of cane C, wood or other
suitable material to which the lining D after being placed in the basket A is secured
by means of small springy clips E. When the lining D has to be taken out to be
cleaned or for the purpose of repairing the baskets A, the clips E are easily
removed either by hand or by the aid of pliers, and when the lining D has again
been replaced the clips E keep it in position in the manner as hereinbefore
described. By these improvements it will therefore be obvious that there will be
both a saving of time and expense.
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 :-
Securing or fixing the lining of baskets and like receptacles for packing
laundered and other goods, substantially in the manner and for the purposes
herein before described and shewn on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
