We HENRY WADE DEACON of the firm of Gaskell Deacon and Company of Widnes
in the County of Lancaster Alkali Manufacturers and ROBERT AMOS PRICE of Widnes
aforesaid Foreman to the said Firm do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to
be as follows:-
This Invention consists in the construction of casks barrels or like articles of
layers of material respectively of wood and paper cardboard or other similar
inaterial.
In making the cask barrel or like article the paper cardboard or the like may be lapped
round a mandril and the layer of wood (which may consist of either a single sheet or
of staves) be wrapped or erected round the paper or the like on the mandril both
being then secured by hoops fastened by nails or otherwise-If the paper cardboard
or the like be in the form of a sheet then it should be so arranged that it "breaks.
joint" with the layer of wood but if desirable the paper cardboard or the like may
first be made into a complete cylinder without joint. The Invention is not limited to
the above described mode of carrying it into effect for example the wood layer may
form the inner layer and the paper cardboard or like material the outer layer or the
layer of timber may be made first and, the inner case of paper cardboard or like
material may be put in afterwards or vice versa and there may be more than one
layer of each or either material if desired. The head may be secured by hoops as is
usual with ordinary casks barrels or the like.

County of Lancaster Alkali manufacturers and ROBERT AMOS PRICE of Widnes afore-
said Foreman to the said firm 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 the formation of cylindrical barrels or casks and liko
articles of various sizes and it consists in forming the body or cylindrical portion of
the said barrel or casks or the like of combined layers of wood and of paper or card-
board or other like material.

invention is not limited to the above described inode of carrying it into effect for
example the wood layer may form the inner layer and the paper cardboard or like
material the outer layer or the layer of timber may be made first and the inner case of
paper cardboard or like material may be put in afterwards or vice versa and there may
be more than one layer of each or either material if desired.
The cask or the like may be formed by placing the layers of paper or the like and wood
round a collapsible cylinder or mandril such for example as we have illustrated in the
accompanying drawings. Figure 1 of which is a vertical section of the mandril and
Figure 2 a corresponding plan. The layers of wood and paper or the like to form the
cylindrical portion of the cask having been placed round the cylindrical portion A of
the mandril are held in position at the bottom by a movable ring B and at the top by
clips C hinged to the said mandril or cylinder A. The layers of wood and paper or
the like may then be secured by hoops and by nails driven through the hoops and the
layers the said nails being clenched on the inside against the mandril or cylinder A.
The body of the cask being thus completed the mandril may be contracted or reduced
in diameter by first releasing the clips C by turning them on their hinges e out of
engagement with the partly formed cask, after which by means of the handle D the
cam piece d may be turned so as to admit of the mandril collapsing to enable the
partly finished cask to be readily removed therefrom the heads of the cask may then
be placed and secured in position by lining hoops in the usual way.
Having now particularly described the nature of our Invention and the manner in
which the same may be carried into effect we wish it to be understood that we do not
limit ourselves to any particular apparatus or means for constructing the casks or the
like but what we claim is :—
Cylindrical barrels or casks and like articles the cylindrical or body portion of which
consists of combined layers of wood and of paper or cardboard or other like material
substantially as hereinbefore described.
