Complete Specification Left, 23rd Sept., 1890-Accepted, 25th Oct., 1890
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boxes or Receptacles for Paints.
I GEORGE HENRY SAUNDERS of 37 Farringdon Street in the County of London
Manufacturer's Agent, do hereby declare the nature of said invention (a communi-
cation to me from abroad by Joseph Bourgeois ainé, of 31 Rue de Caire, Paris,
in the Republic of France, Manufacturer,) to be as follows:-
This invention relates to boxes or cases of sheet metal for receiving paints or
colours particularly those put into porcelain pans or the like. Its object is to
enable the pans to be more conveniently inserted into the sheet metal case so that
the pan may be rigidly held in place and yet be readily removable.
In carrying this invention into practice I provide a lining or inner plate for the
box or case.
In this lining I cut apertures of a shape corresponding to that of the
pans, the metal is not entirely removed, from these apertures but only raised so as to
form two lugs bent over at the top. The pans are pushed into these apertures from
below and are held in place partly by friction partly by the bottom of the box or
case. Instead of providing two lugs only, four may be provided one at each end of
the pan.
Dated this 5th day of December 1889.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boxes or Receptacles for Paints.
I GEORGE HENRY SAUNDERS of 37 Farringdon Street in the City of London,
Manufacturer's Agent do hereby declare the nature of the said invention (a communi-
cation to me from abroad by Joseph Bourgeois, of 31 Rue du Cairo, Paris, in the
Republic of France, Manufacturer) to be particularly described in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to boxes or cases of sheet metal for receiving paints or
colours particularly those put into porcelain pans or the like. Its object is to enable
the pans to be more conveniently inserted into the sheet metal case so that the pan
may be rigidly held in place and yet be readily removable.
In carrying this invention into practice I provide a lining or inner plate for the
box or case. In this lining I cut apertures of a shape corresponding to that of the pans,
the metal is not entirely removed from these apertures but only raised so as to form
lugs bent over at the top. The pans are pushed into these apertures from below and
are held in place partly by the friction or pressure produced by the resilience of the
box or case.
In the annexed drawings is shown an inner plate embodying this invention.
Fig. 1 is a plan of the same with the paint-pans in place.
Fig. 2 is a section of the same on line a a Fig. 1 the pans being removed.
Fig. 3 is a section on line bb with the pans removed.
The plate is preferably stamped from a sheet of metal at A it may have an
extension with depressions A to serve as a palette B B are lugs by which it is lifted
out of the box. At C the edge may be turned up as shown to allow say a brush to
rest on it. DD are the pans containing paint. The pans are retained in the
recesses or cells provided for their reception partly by the lugs E E, partly by the
lugs FF. The lugs E are by preference bent over at e and e' so as to retain the
pans more firmly and to prevent their being pushed too far when introduced from
beneath.

page_text: The lugs F F may in some cases be dispensed with.
The inner plate or lining shown in the drawings is placed into or forms part of a
box or case of any convenient construction; its shape may be varied.
It will be readily understood that it may be made without the portion A A¹ or so
as to accomodate more than one row of pans.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
Boxes or receptacles for paints in which are provided recesses wherein the paints
are retained by the lugs constructed and operating, as set forth and illustrated in the
drawings.
Dated this 5th day of September 1890.
