PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Protecting or Packing Glazed and other
Bricks, Tiles and other Goods.
I, JOSEPH WEBB, of 23, Jocelyn Road, Kew Road, Richmond, in the County
of Surrey, Carver and Gilder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
-
The object of the present invention is to obviate the damage at present
liable to result from the handling, packing and transport of bricks tiles and other
goods having a glazed or finished surface.
For this purpose I cover the surface of such goods, which it is desired to
protect from damage, with paper or other like material strained thereon and
firmly cemented thereto.
In applying my invention to a brick or tile I take a piece of paper or like
material of the required dimensions, preferably using a strong long fibred paper
and damp it after which I cement it to the depression in the brick or to
the back or other part of the brick or tile which is hidden when the latter are
fixed in position.
The paper or other material is cemented around its edges and stretched over
or around the surface or surfaces to be protected, when dry the paper or other
material will be found to be tightly strained over the surface or surfaces to be pro-
tected and the brick or tile is then free to be handled as an ordinary brick
or tile and packed and transported without the use of straw the like as
hitherto necessary.
or
When the brick or tile is required to be fixed in position the protecting
paper or the like can be removed by immersion in water or can be torn off
by the use of the trowel or other tool.
The protecting material may be of like color to the brick, tile or other
article to facilitate identification of color and quality or it may have words,
letters or marks thereon for a like purpose.

An Improved Method of Protecting or Packing Glazed and other
Bricks, Tiles and other Goods.
I, JOSEPH WEBB, of 5, Bexley Grove, Harehills Road, Leeds, in the County
Yorkshire, Carver and Gilder, late of 23, Jocelyn Road, Kew Road, Richmond,

page_text: in the County of Surrey, Carver and Gilder, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-
The object of the present invention is to obviate the damage at present
liable to result from the handling, packing and transfer of bricks tiles and other
goods having a glazed or finished surface.
For this purpose I cover the surface of such goods, which it is desired to
protect from damage, with paper or other like material strained thereon and
firmly cemented thereto.
In applying my invention to a brick or tile I take a piece of paper or like
material of the required dimensions, preferably using a strong long fibred paper
and damp it, after which I cement it to the panel or depression in the brick or to
the back or other part of the brick or tile which is hidden when the latter are
fixed in position.
The paper or other material is cemented around its edges and stretched over
or around the surface or surfaces to be protected. When dry, the paper or other
material will be found tightly strained over the surface or surfaces to be pro-
tected; and the brick or tile is then free to be handled as an ordinary brick
or tile, and packed and transported without the use of straw and the like, as
hitherto necessary.
When the brick or tile is required to be fixed in position, the protecting
paper or the like can be removed by immersion in water, or can be torn off
by the use of the trowel or other tool.
The protecting material may be of like colour to the brick, tile or other
article, to facilitate identification of colour and quality; or it may have words,
letters or marks thereon for a like purpose.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The method of protecting glazed and other bricks tiles and other like
goods having a glazed or finished surface consisting in covering the glazed
or finished surface with paper or the like material strained thereon and firmly
cemented thereto substantially as herein set forth.
2. The method of protecting bricks glazed on the outer face consisting in
covering such surface with paper or the like material strained thereon and
cemented to the brick along its edges to the ends of the brick and to the bevel
of the depressions on the top and bottom of the brick substantially as herein
set forth.
