PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Packet or Case for Holding Grain, Seed, Herbs, or any
kind of Coarse or Fine Powder, either Moist or Dry.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD WALMSLEY 8 Hyde Road Waterloo Liverpool Manager
of Envelope Works, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My.invention consists of a lining of paper, cloth or thin metal, fixed with paste of
other adhesive substance to the inside of the body of an ordinary collapsible thick
paper or cardboard box or case now in use for holding bottles, &c. &c., but loose at
the ends so as to allow the lining at each end to be folded like the top of an ordinary
paper bag before the flaps of the box or case are folded in and which makes the
packet almost air-tight and dust-proof. This lining instead of covering the whole
of the inside, is made in two pieces and fixed to the top and the bottom of the body
of the box or case, but when the nature of the contents requires it, the box or case
may be lined throughout.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Packet or Case for Holding Grain, Seed, Herbs, or any
kind of Coarse or Fine Powder, either Moist or Dry.
İ, WILLIAM EDWARD WALMSLEY of 8 Hyde Road Waterloo, Liverpool in the
County of Lancaster, Manager, 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 consists of a lining of paper, cloth, thin metal or other pliable
material, fixed, with paste, or other adhesive substance, or by other means, to the
inside of the body of an ordinary collapsible thick paper or cardboard box or case
now in use for holding or encasing bottles, or for other purposes, but loose at the
ends so as to allow it to be folded at each end like the top of an ordinary paper
bag, before the flaps of the box or case are folded in to form a complete packet
when filled.
This lining as shown in the accompanying drawings is made in two pieces and
fixed as hereinafter described to the top and bottom of the inside of the body of the
box or case, but when the nature of the contents or the economy or convenience of
manufacture requires it, the lining may be in one piece, covering the whole of the
inside of the box or case.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood, the following
description with the accompanying drawings, reference being had to the letters
and figures marked thereon will, I think be sufficient.
Fig. 1. shows a thick paper or cardboard blank which forms the outside of the
packet, cut out and scored in the usual manner, the thick lines showing where it is
cut through to form the flaps A, B, C, and D, and 'A', B, C, and D' and the thin
lines showing where it is scored only, for the purpose of folding.
Fig. 2. shows the same blank with the lining pieces E and E' fixed by paste or
other suitable means to the top and bottom of the inside of the body of the box or
case, just clearing the flaps which must be loose from the lining pieces.
Fig. 3. shows a packet complete, in a collapsed condition, and this is formed by
pasting, with paste or other adhesive substance the right-hand edge of the lined

page_text: blank, not wider than the part shown by the dotted line G, H, in Fig. 2. and
folding the panel, R, over and upon the panel, S, along the crease X, Y, and then
folding over along the crease X, Y¹ and pressing until dry, the panel, T, upon the
panels, S, and, V, the pasted part falling upon the outside of the lining at F and Fi
and the outside of the thick paper or cardboard blank at F' shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4. shows a complete packet, opened out from the collapsed condition as shown
in Fig. 3. into the square or oblong shape necessary, previous to filling, with the
flaps A, B, C and D, and A', B, C, and D', turned back to show the lining E
and E', which remains whole at each end after being fastened up the seam at F, F¹
and F, by the operation as described in the previous paragraph.
Fig. 5. shows a complete packet as when filled with one end partially open,
showing the lining E folded over close to the body of the box or case, like the top
of an ordinary paper bag upon the contents, and the flaps A, B, C and D remaining
open or not folded over, and the other end is shown with the lining and flaps folded
over complete to form the bottom of the packet previous to filling.
When the lining E and E' and the flaps A, B, C, and D and A', B, C and D¹
are respectively folded over at each end and the flaps D and D' are fastened down
at their respective ends of the packet by means of some adhesive substance or other
. contrivance, it forms an almost air-tight and dust-proof packet.
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
The combination of the case and the lining forming a lined packet with the
lining fixed inside, but loose and whole at the ends, substantially as herein shown
and described.
Dated this 20th day of September 1892.
