PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cross or Locket.
JAMES YOUNG Chemist & Druggist The Castle Pharmacy Corn-Market Pontefract
Yorkshire. I, James Young do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
It is a hollow box or Locket made in the shape of a Maltese Cross-having in
each of the four inner angles a diamond-shaped hole to allow the odour of Camphor
to be discharged, (instead of having to perforate the box with holes).
The Locket is made of Tin and consists of two parts-the bottom part of box or
Locket and the top part or lid-fastened to the bottom part of Locket at one end of
cross is a ring of brass wire by means of which it is suspended.
Fig. 1. (in drawings)-A represents a flat piece of Tin which is cut as is shown by
the dotted lines B, the spaces C between the dotted lines B and the lines D (forming
the cross) are bent at right angles to the cross and form the sides of the bottom part
of box or cross."
The top part or lid of box or cross is made in exactly the same manner as the
bottom part of box or cross-with the exception that the sides are 16 of an inch
shallower than the sides of the bottom part of cross.
Fig. 2 represents the box or cross when closed & the holes marked H in the inner
angles.
Dated this the Twenty first day of March 1888.

The hollow Cross or Locket is to be used as a receptacle for Camphor which is
diffused through the openings above mentioned. For convenience the hollow Cross or
Locket is supplied with a ring.
In the annexed sheet of "Drawings Fig 1 shows my Invention as applied to a
hollow Cross or Locket and
Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 show details of parts.
Fig. 2 shows the box or lower part of the hollow Cross.
Fig. 3 shows the lid or upper part of the hollow Cross.
Fig. 4 shows how the box in Fig. 2 is formed, and
Fig. 5 shows how the lid in Fig. 3 is formed, in each of these figures 4 and 5.
A. A. A. A represents a flat piece of Tin which is cut as is shewn by the dotted
lines B-the spaces between the dotted lines B and the lines D (forming a cross)
are bent at right angles to the Cross, and form the sides of the box and lid respectively-
the lid being shallower than the box. I prefer to make the hollow Cross or Locket of
Tin, but any of the parts may be made of other material, I make no claim to the
use of any particular material, nor do I confine myself to the precise details of
construction specified as the same may be varied and modifications may be made
without departing from the principle of my invention.
This Cross or Locket secures a greater diffusion of Camphor than can be obtained
by perforation or other similar devices now adopted for that purpose, and the holes
in the Cross or Locket are not liable to be blocked up by dust.
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 1
claim is :-
The use for the purpose of diffusing Camphor of holes in the inner angles or
incurves of a small box made in the shape of a Cross or made with such angles or
incurves in the shape of a Locket or of any other convenient form suitable for a
receptacle for Camphor.
Dated this the Fifteenth day of December 1888.

Applicant.
