PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Holding Cream and like Semi-liquid
Substances.
I, ROBERT REGINALD FREDERICK BUTLER, of Poulshot Lodge, Devizes,
Wilts., Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
According to the usual method of distributing cream, condensed milk, and other
like semi-liquid bodies to the public, they are placed in jars or jugs of earthenware
or pottery or in tins not only to preserve the substances but to render them easy of
extraction by a spoon when required. These jars, jugs, and tins are very expensive
compared to the actual value of the contents, consequently a consumer pays a high
price for that which is useless to him. Now the object of my invention is to place
such bodies or substances in prepared paper bags, the mouths of which are secured
to necks, capable of being corked or stoppered. The articles so made are of little
value, and when empty can be cast into a fire and destroyed, instead of being thrown
aside and forming an eyesore in a dwelling house as exists where jars, jugs, and
tins are used.
According to my invention, I prepare paper or paper bags by steeping them in a
solution of sulphuric acid with which a little borax may be added as a water-
proofing agent and to strengthen the paper. 1 also prepare a ring shaped neck of
cork, wood, or of pottery, metal, or other material with an external groove, into
which the top edge of the paper can be pressed by a string or fine wire to secure it
to the neck in a close manner, water and air tight. The interior of the neck is
shaped to receive a cork or stopper of the usual kind as a closing medium.
By this invention, cream, condensed milk, meat extracts, and other semi-liquid
substances generally can be contained in a cheap yet reliable manner, which will
enable the public to derive the fullest possible value for money expended, instead
of having to pay for goods from which they obtain no benefits.

Substances.
ROBERT REGINALD FREDERICK BUTLER, of Poulshot Lodge, Devizes,
Wilts., Manufacturer 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:-

of being thrown aside and forming an eyesore in a dwelling house as exists where
jars, jugs, and tins are used.
According to my invention I prepare paper or paper bags by steeping them in a
solution of sulphuric acid with which a little borax may be added as a water-
proofing agent and to strengthen the paper. I also prepare a ring-shaped neck of
cork, wood, or of pottery, metal or other material with an external groove into
which the top edge of the paper can be pressed by a string or fine wire to secure it.
to the neck in a close manner, water and air tight. The interior of the neck is
shaped to receive a cork or stopper of the usual kind as a closing inedium.
By this invention, cream, condensed milk, meat extracts and other semi-liquid
substances generally can be contained in a cheap yet reliable manner, which will
enable the public to derive the fullest possible value for money expended, instead
of having to pay for goods from which they obtain no benefits.
My invention will be clearly understood by the annexed drawings of which
Figure 1 is an exterior elevation of what is known as a souflet cup with shaped
neck fitted, and stopper, the cup of paper being specially prepared as above set
forth.
Figure 2 a section of same, with the shaped neck of any desired material to which
the paper is secured firmly by twine or fine wire.
Figures 3 and 4 are corresponding views of a paper bag also specially prepared
as described, said bag having a modified shaped neck.
A is the cup or bag. B the neck. C wire or twine for securing one to the
other. D is a cork, or other stopper for closing the mouth of the neck.
Any kind of label, a piece of skin, leather, or other material can be employed to
cover the neck, or it may be the stopper only, and said label may be printed to
notify the contents of the paper cup or bag, or the paper itself may be printed for
the purpose.
The neck is preferably of the shape shown in the sectional views, with an external
groove for the binding wire or twine, and with the inner edge a very thin, so that
the contents can be readily squeezed through by a compression of the bag A, or
the neck of the souflet cup can be first removed to enable the contents of the cup
to be got at by a spoon or knife.
The paper container A by the previous preparation of the sulphuric acid solution
is rendered very strong, tough, and waterproof, the ingredients used for the
preparation having no deleterious action on the food substance placed in it, but
rather, as is well known, in the treatment of meat during hot weather, it has a
beneficial and preservative effect.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The manufacture and employment of a flexible pliable yet toughened paper
bag with an attachable neck capable of being corked for securing the contents in
said cup or bag, as for the uses hereinbefore described, and substantially as
shown in the annexed drawings.
2. The combination of paper with an affixable neck capable of being corked or
stoppered, said paper being previously prepared by a solution of sulphuric acid, to
which borax may be added as and for the purposes set forth.
