PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Baskets for containing Carboys and other such
like Vessels.
I, WILLIAM EDWIN COTTELL of 1 Powell Street Aston Road North, Birming-
ham in the County of Warwick, Basket Maker do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in baskets for containing carboys
and other such vessels by which such baskets are made more durable in wear while
of a very much neater appearance and at little or no extra cost over the old kind.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the top rim of my basket of an iron.
hoop of U or tube shaped section and from this 1 carry down a number of wires
which have their ends bent round the top rim and are either carried under the
bottom of the basket or round the bottom to form a rim. I may have any number
of these vertical wires but I prefer to have one on each side each handle and one on
each side the basket between the handles the remainder of the uprights being of
basket wood. The vertical wires can be carried round to form a strand within the
handle and so as to bind all the strengthening parts together from the rim which
obviates the mass of basket work which has hitherto been necessary when using a
top rim of basket work thus saving much projection and consequent space when the
carboys are packed side by side. The uprights are filled in with horizontal basket
work in the usual way.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Baskets for containing Carboys and other such
like Vessels.
I, WILLIAM EDWIN COTTELL of No. 1 Powell Street Aston Road North,
Birmingham in the County of Warwick Basket Maker 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 :-
My invention has for its object improvements in baskets for containing carboys
and other such vessels by which such baskets are made more durable in wear while
of a very much neater appearance and at little or no extra cost over the old
kind-
In carrying my invention into effect I form the top rim of my basket of an iron
hoop of or tube shaped section and from this I carry down a number of wires
which have their ends bent round the top rim and are carried under the bottom of
the basket or round the bottom to form a rim. I may have any number of these
vertical wires but I prefer to have one on each side each handle and one on each
side the basket between the handles the remainder of the uprights being of osiers.
The vertical wires can be carried round to form a strand within the handle and so
as to bind all the strengthening parts together from the rim which obviates the mass
of osiers which has hitherto been necessary when using a top rim of osiers thus
saving much projection and consequent space when the carboys are packed side by
side. The uprights are filled in with horizontal osiers in the usual way.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried

page_text: into practise I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have fully
illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1., shows a skeleton view of one form of the metal part of my basket.
Figure 2., shows the basket complete.
Figure 3., is a section through the top rim.
Figure 4., is a similar section to Figure 3 but showing a modification in the
sectional shape of the rim.
I form the top rim A of my basket of iron solid or tube orn-shaped as shown in
Figure 4 and from this I carry down the vertical wires B which may be either bent
under the bottom as shown by 6 Figure 1 or may be bent round the bottom to form
a rim the top ends being turned over at b. I do not confine myself to the number
of vertical wires which I may have but I prefer to have the number shown in
Figure 1 i.e. one on each side each handle and one on each side the basket. The
vertical wires 62 may be carried up and round to form a core to the osier handles E.
Osier uprights D are filled in between the metal uprights the whole being plaited
with horizontal osiers in the usual way.
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 -
The improvements in baskets for containing carboys and other such vessels
consisting of the metal strengthening frame substantially as and for the purpose
herein set forth and shown upon the accompanying drawings.
