Improvements in Boxes and Cases for Storing and Conveying Food
Stuffs, such as Bottled Liquids, Fish, and the like.
I, JOHN ALEXANDER WILSON, of Fern Dene, Baldovan, in the County of Forfar,
Scotland, Aerated Water Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct boxes and cases for storing and con-
veying food stuffs, such as bottled liquids, fish, and the like, in such a manner
that such boxes may be readily cleaned, with the minimum quantity of water, or
other cleansing agent.
In carrying out my invention as applied to boxes and cases for storing and con-
veying bottled liquids, I cover the internal surface of the bottom of such boxes or
cases with tinned iron or with any other suitable metal, in order that the mouths
of the bottles-say those used for aërated waters-may only come in contact with
the metal, and thus lessen the probability of dust or dirt adhering to them. The
boxes or cases are provided with suitable openings, so that when being cleaned,
any dirt may be readily washed away.
In applying my invention to boxes for holding fish and the like, I preferably
cover the whole internal surface of such boxes with tinned iron or other suitable
metal, and provide suitable openings in the sides or bottom to facilitate cleansing,
as previously described.

Scotland, Aerated Water Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-

page_text: And in order that my said invention and the manner of performing or carrying
the same into effect or practice may be properly understood, I have hereunto
appended two explanatory sheets of drawings in which the same reference numerals
are used to indicate corresponding parts in all the figures where shown, that is to
say:
-
Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, (Sheet 1,) are views showing a side elevation, a plan, an
end elevation and a cross-section at A, A, (Figure 2) respectively of a box for stor-
ing aërated water bottles.
Figures 5, 6, and 7, (Sheet 2) are views showing a side elevation, a plan and a
cross-section at B, B, (Figure 6) respectively of a box for conveying fish.
In carrying out my invention as applied to boxes and cases for storing and con-
veying bottled liquids, I cover the internal surface of the bottom of such boxes
or cases with tinned iron 10, or with any other suitable metal, in order that the
mouths of the bottles 11,-say those used for aërated waters-may only come in con-
tact with the metal, and thus lessen the probability of dust or dirt adhering to
them. The boxes or cases are provided with suitable openings 12, so that when
being cleaned, any dirt may be washed away through such openings.
In applying my invention to boxes for holding fish and the like, I preferably
cover the whole internal surface with tinned iron 10, or other suitable metal, and
provide suitable openings 12, in the sides, or bottom-in the drawings I have shown
the opening in the sides-to facilitate cleansing, as previously described.
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:
In boxes and cases for conveying food stuffs, the combination and arrangement
of parts for facilitating the cleansing of such boxes, the parts consisting of a metal
lining which wholly or partly covers the inside, and openings for permitting the
dirt being washed away, as described and illustrated by the annexed drawings.
Dated this 31st day of October 1898.
