SAMPSON BAUGH TAYLOR of 43 Derby Street, Hulme, Manchester in the County
of Lancaster, Basket Maker, SAMUEL JOSEPH HEYS of 27 Brazennose Street
Manchester Estate Agent, and THOMAS HUMPHREYS of 4 Stanley Grove Sale, in
the County of Chester, Secretary do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
In
Our invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of baskets and hampers
or cases. And the object of our improvement is to make the baskets, hampers or
cases in a manner so as to lessen the risk of breakage during transit of the article
carried therein. To effect this object we construct the baskets, hampers or cases with
a fixed bottom of one or more preferably of two-pieces of wood; in any case
having also a loose or false bottom made of willow or other suitable material.
constructing the baskets, hampers or cases,-when the fixed bottom is made of one
piece of wood,- -we bore holes round the outer edge at equal distances into which we
fix the stakes which form the skeleton of the body. When-finished we place inside
a loose or false bottom. When the fixed bottom is made of two or more pieces of
wood we bore holes along the sides of each separate piece of wood, at equal distances
so as to be opposite each other. Into these holes we fix sticks which thus form a
communication between the pieces of wood, and by their length maintain the circular
or other shape of the bottom. When put together we bore holes round the outer
edge into which we place the stakes to form the side or body. When finished, a loose
or false bottom, made of willow or other suitable material is placed inside so as to
break the violence of the concussion when it is suddenly dropped or deposited on the
ground.
