PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method of Packing Meat, Fruit, Salmon and
other Fish.
I, SAMUEL MOSSCROP OKELL of Old Esquire Malt Road, Victoria West,
Victoria in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, Salmon Canner, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved method of packing meat, fruit,
salmon, and other fish and consists in packing the said edibles in earthenware or
porcelain vessels covered with earthenware or porcelain lids or other equivalents
that will prevent contamination with lead or other impurities when placed in a
sealed tinned or other metallic vessel. By thus packing the said edibles they are
intact and therefore must be wholesome and sound when opened after shipment
and during the period of storage. The earthenware or porcelain vessels may be
of any desired shape and depth, the same being made to fit closely inside the
tinned or other metallic vessels.

A New or Improved Method of Packing Meat, Fruit, Salmon and
other Fish.
I, SAMUEL MOSSCROP OKELL of Old Esquire Malt Road, Victoria West,
Victoria in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, Salmon Canner, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved method of packing meat, fruit,
salmon, and other fish and consists in packing the said edibles in earthenware or
porcelain vessels covered with earthenware or porcelain lids or other equivalents
that will prevent contamination with lead or other impurities when placed in a
sealed tinned or other metallic vessel. By thus packing the said edibles they are
intact and therefore must be wholesome and sound when opened after shipment
and during the period of storage. The earthenware or porcelain vessels may be of
any desired shape and depth, the same being made to fit closely inside the tinned
or other metallic vessels.

Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 a sectional elevation of another form of my invention for packing the
before mentioned edibles, and Fig. 5 is a plan of Fig. 4 with lid or outer cover
removed.
In all the figures the same letters are employed to indicate corresponding parts.
A is an earthenware or porcelain vessel; B earthenware or porcelain lid;
C body of the tinned or other metallic vessel; D the bottom and E the lid.
F represents meat, ox-tongue, fruit, such as, apples, pears, and the like, salmon
and other fish.
The meat, ox-tongue, fruit, salmon and other fish F is placed in the earthenware
or porcelain vessel A and covered with the earthenware or porcelain lid B by
which contamination with lead or impurities is prevented when placed in the tinned
or other metallic vessel C. After the earthenware or porcelain vessel A has been
placed in the tinned or other metallic vessel C it is secured therein by the lid E,
the latter and the bottom D being secured to the body C by means of solder H.
By thus packing the said edibles they are intact and therefore must be whole-
some and sound when opened after shipment and during the period of storage.
The earthenware or porcelain vessel A may be of the forms shown in the drawings
or any other desired shape and depth, the same being made to fit closely inside the
tinned or other metallic vessels.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
Packing meat, ox-tongues, fruit, salmon, and other fish in earthenware or
porcelain vessels A with earthenware or porcelain lids B to prevent contamination
with tinned or other metallic vessel C when deposited therein and sealed or
soldered, substantially as described and as shown in the drawings.
