ALPHONSE CARY Northbrook St Newbury Berks Musical Instrument Maker
& ALFRED STRADLING Northbrook Street Newbury Berks Watchmaker do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for AN IMPROVED RESIN BOX FOR PLAYERS
OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS PLAYED WITH A BOW to be as follows:-
Our improvement consists in constructing a box which when opened the whole
of the contents can be used without detaching or disconnecting any parts, one from
the other, and when closed the contents are protected from injury, it can thus be
carried in the pocket without risk of damage, and when empty the contents of the
box can be replaced by duplicates, without trouble or altering the box in any way.
The box may be described as consisting of two parts viz the shield, cover, or lid
and the body, box or receptacle for the substance.
We construct both the box and lid of stamped sheet metal, the box forming a
U shaped receptacle with open ends and top, the cover is made with a turn down
flap at each end so as to protect both top and ends of the box, and a flange at one
side to keep the box in a proper position when closed, the extremities of the flaps
are pivotted to metal projections at the bottom of the box, so that this latter
without being detached revolves when pushed from under it's cover, through the
are of a circle, thus exposing the resin ready for use.
For greater security in holding its contents the U shaped box is made with
corrugations along each side. When empty the box may be replenished with a
block of resin of the required form, by a slight application of heat to the sides of
the box.

without being detached revolves when pushed from under it's cover through the
arc of a circle thus exposing the resin ready for use.
For greater security in holding it's contents the U shaped box is made with
corrugations along each side, when empty the box may be replenished with a
block of resin of the required form by a slight application of heat to the side of
the box.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
Constructing Resin Boxes used by players of stringed musical Instruments of a
U or any other convenient shaped section, said box being protected on its three
open edges by a moveable shield pivotted at the closed or bottom edge in any
convenient manner substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
