PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATIO.
Improvement in Corrugated Paper Protective Cases or Coverings for
Bottles and other Articles.
We, HEINRICH LUYKEN, of 20 Milser Square, London, N., Commercial
Traveller, and THE THOMPSON AND NORRIS MANUFACTURING CO. LIMITED
of Britannia Row, Essex Road, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement in cases or coverings made of corrugated
paper, for enclosing bottles and other articles during transit of the same and at
other times.
According to our improved method of construction we provide a strong outer
resisting body whereby we ensure a more rigid covering and one that affords more
protection to the package than is afforded by the old method of construction.
We form the case or covering of the ordinary corrugated paper now commonly
used for enclosing packages, and we line or cover the inner surface of the same
with thin paper, and cover the outer surface thereof with stout paper or cardboard
pasted or otherwise fastened to the corrugated paper. The corrugated sheet is
bent to form the case, and the ends of the outer stout paper cover are preferably
made to overlap and are secured by pasting gumming or otherwise. This construction
gives great strength and rigidity to resist crushing and therefore renders the
contents very secure from injury.
We sometimes provide pieces of thick paper or cardboard to fit into each end of
the sleeve, and tie or otherwise secure the same in position so as to protect the ends
of the bottle or other contents of the case.

Improvement in Corrugated Paper Protective Cases or Coverings for
Bottles and other Articles.
We, HEINRICH LUTKEN, of 20 Milner Square, London, N., Commercial
Traveller, and THE THOMPSON AND NORRIS MANUFACTURING CO. LIMITED
of Britannia Row, Essex Road, in the County of Middlesex, 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:-
This invention relates to cases or coverings made of corrugated paper, for
enclosing and protecting bottles and other articles during transit of the same by
post or rail, and at other times.
Our improved cases or coverings are provided with a strong resisting envelope
that renders them more rigid thau cases or coverings of corrugated paper made as

page_text: In order that our invention may be clearly understood we will now describe the
sume with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views illustrating two stages in the process of
manufacture of our improved cases.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a finished case.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one stage in the manufacture of a double case
shown complete in Figure 5.
Figure 5 shews an end piece hereinafter described.
Figures 6 and 7 are similar views to Figures 1 and 3 respectively showing a
modification hereinafter described.
A Figure 1 is a sheet of ordinary corrugated paper covered on one side thereof
with a plain sheet of paper B which is firmly secured thereto by paste or otherwise.
The corrugated sheet A is laid on but not yet secured to a sheet C of cardboard,
pasteboard or other suitable material, one side of which, namely that which is in
contact with the corrugated paper A has been previously coated with gum, glue or
other adhesive substance. The two sheets A and C are then rolled round a block
or core D of a cylindrical or other suitable shape as shown in Figure 2 the loose
sheet C being outermost. The corrugated sheet A is of such a length that its ends
just meet when wrapped round the core, but the ends of the outer sheet C are
preferably arranged to overlap when rolled up and the overlapping ends are secured
by adhesive substance or otherwise. The core D is then removed and the case
allowed to dry whereupon the outer sheet C becomes firmly attached to the
corrugated sheet A.
This construction of case ensures great strength to resist crushing, combined
with a certain amount of elasticity, and cases so inade are therefore very suitable
for enclosing and protecting bottles and the like.
We sometimes provide pieces of stout cardboard or corrugated paper covered
on one or both sides with cardboard or paper to fit against one or both ends of the
case as may be required. Such an end piece E is shown in Figure 5. Instead of
using plain end pieces such as E we may employ caps or lids to fit the ends of the
cases. These end pieces or caps may, if necessary, be tied on, or fastened in any
other suitable manner.
Where very great strength is required we provide double cases as shown in
Figure 5. To produce such a case two sheets of corrugated paper are taken as
shown in Figure 4 each backed with thin paper and superposed on the pasted or
gummed or glued cardboard or other sheet C. The lining of the lowermost
corrugated sheet is also pasted or gummed. The whole is then rolled up round n
core and secured in the manner above described. The inner sheet or sheets of
corrugated paper may in some instances be placed in position after the outer casing
is completed.
When two sheets of corrugated paper are employed the inner sheet is sometimes
cut shorter, in the direction of its flutes, than the first sheet in order to form a
recess inside the tube for the reception of the end piece E.
This construction of case with two or more layers of corrugated paper is
particularly useful for large bottles and more especially for shipping purposes.
When great strength is not required for the whole length of the tube or case, the
corrugated sheet A may be made shorter in the direction of its corrugations than
the outer sheet C as shown in Figures 6 and 7. This construction is especially
useful for packing a number of bottles in boxes neck to neck as that part of the
case which is flexible will squeeze up round the bottle neck and form a safe bed for
the adjacent bottles.
We often cover the cases with suitable wrapping paper which is preferably mado
longer than the case. The projecting part of the wrapping paper can be then
folded and secured over the end piece or cap of the case.
If additional strength is required for the case, as for example when used for
long-necked bottles, the end pieces E are placed inside the cases which they are
made to fit, instead of against the ends thereof.

page_text: We do not wish to confine ourselves to the use of corrugated paper in the
construction of our improved cases, as we may employ other corrugated material,
aheet metal for instance, in the manner described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
:―
A protective case or covering of corrugated paper or other material lined or
covered on both sides with plain paper and constructed substantially as described
with reference to Figures 1 to 3 or to Figures 4 and 5 or to Figures 6 and 7, with
or without the end pieces or caps.
