Improvements in Packing Material for Bottles and other
Articles.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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 :--
The present invention relates to a packing material and especially to packing-
paper which has for its object to prevent the packed goods from shifting.
1 attain this object by providing a plain paper-surface with conical, pyramidical,
semi-globular or similar shaped projections and by arranging the latter at such
distances from one another that if goods enveloped with my improved packing-paper
are packed together in a receptacle, the projections of the one envelope can entirely
engage into the spaces between the projections of the adjacent envelopes. Thus
the goods are entirely prevented from turning round as well as from lateral and
longitudinal movement.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown several forms of the improved
packing paper.
Figure a plan of a piece of packing-paper with pyramidical projections ;
Figure I is a section on the line x-x of Figure 1.
Figure II is a plan of a piece of packing-paper with cylindrical projections.
Figure II is a section on the line -x of Figure II.
Figure III shows a piece of packing-paper with semi-globular projections.
Figure III is a section on line ²² of Figure III.
Figure IV illustrates the manner in which two adjacent envelopes engage with
each cther and
Figure V is a view of a cylindrically round strip of packing-paper adapted for
enveloping bottles.
a are the projections which may be produced by stamping out from sheets of
paper or its equivalent. In some instances I prefer to use wet paper sheets such as
are obtained from the paper-pulp in the manufacture of paper and press these sheets
into suitable moulds. The product obtained in this way is excellent for its solidity
and uniformity.
The packing-paper obtained by this or any other suitable method may be cut
in pieces of any desired size and their margins may be glued together so as to form
a parallelopipedon or a cylinder such as shown in Figure V, or any other suitable
envelope. I do not restrict myself to the manufacture of envelopes from paper
only, but I may employ instead of ordinary paper any other suitable materials
similar to paper, for instance parchment, artificial leather, that is to say, paper-
substances impregnated with oils, fats, resins and the like or paper combined with
thin layers of parchment or artificial leather.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
A packing material consisting of sheets having pyramidical, conical, semi-globular

page_text: or similar shaped projections arranged at such distances from one another that the
interspaces nearly correspond in size with the projections, substantially as described
and for the purpose set forth.
