CYRUS ESKRETT and WILLIAM HENRY SEARLE, both of the Town and Countyof
Kingston-upon-Hull, Seed Crushing Wrapper Manufacturers. "IMPROVEMENTS IN
WRAPPERS OR ENVELOPES FOR SEED CRUSHING AND OIL CAKE MAKING."
This Invention relates to the construction of envelopes or wrappers designed to
make more than one cake in one wrapper, so as to economize space and facilitate
the work of pressing, and produce a greater number of cakes within a given time
and with less outlay in the cost of machinery.
We employ wrapper of any of the ordinary and well-known constructions, within
which we introduce a leaf or wing or wings of form corresponding to the outward
shape of the wrapper; the additional wing or wings is corrugated on both faces so as
to give to the cakes the required surface shape. We are thus enabled to introduce
two or more seed bags into one wrapper or envelope.

This Invention relates to the construction of envelopes or wrappers designed to
make more than one cake in one wrapper, so as to economize space and facilitate
the work of pressing, and produce a greater number of cakes within a given time
and with less outlay in the cost of machinery.
We employ wrappers of any of the ordinary and well-known constructions, within
which we introduce a leaf or wing or wings of form corresponding to the outward
shape of the wrapper; the additional wing or wings is corrugated on both faces so
as to give to the cakes the required surface shape. We are thus enabled to in-
troduce two or more seed bags into one wrapper or envelope.
In order that the Invention may be fully understood, we have hereunto annexed
a Sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of envelope partly in section; Fig. 2, end view of Fig. 1 ;
and Fig. 3, plan.
1 is an additional leaf or wing or wings of form corresponding to the outward
shape of the wrapper 2; the additional wing or wings 1 is corrugated on both faces
3 and 4, so as to give to the cakes the required surface surface shape. We are thus
enabled to introduce two or more seed bags into one wrapper or envelope.
The interior wing or wings 1 is constructed of wood or buffalo hide, metal, and
hair as ordinary, and attached by leather or other hinges to the backs 5 and 6, so
as to receive a bag and seed between each back and the inner leaf or wing, that two
cakes may be formed in one wrapper or envelope.
It will be understood that the inner leaf or wing may be constructed of card-
board or materials other than those commonly used for the backs of the wrappers,
and that there may be more than one of such leaves or wings so as to produce more
than two cakes from one wrapper.
Having thus fully described the nature and particulars of this our said Invention,
together with the manner in which the same is to be or may be performed, we
would have it understood that what we claim as our Invention is the use and
employment of an inner leaf or wing 1 (or wings, as and for the purpose described
and illustrated.
In witness whereof, we, the said Cyrus Eskrett and William Henry Searle,
have hereunto set our hands, this Twenty-third day of August, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight.
Witness,
JOSEPH JEWITT.
