Combing, Gilling Fibres, and for other like Uses.
I LANG BRIDGE, of Accrington, in the County of Lancaster, Machinist, and
copper, and tin plate worker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CANS' USED IN THE PREPARING CARDING, COMBING,
GILLING FIBRES, AND FOR OTHER LIKE USES," to be as follows:-
In the construction of "cans" as heretofore tin, or plain sheet iron has been
employed, and in practice it is found that not only are cans so made readily
damaged, or bruised by being overturned, or knocked, but that the revits are liable
to rust, and the tinned surface becomes broken by bending, rust ensuing, and
damage to the contents of the can follows.
In the manufacture of "Cans according to this my invention I employ
corrugated iron, or steel sheets the corrugations being in direction of the length
of the can, or of its circumference. The cans made therefrom are then galvanized.
A much stronger and better can is produced and not liable to injury or bruises as
heretofore.

Carding,·
Combing, Gilling Fibres, and for other like Uses.
I, LANG BRIDGE of Accrington in the County of Lancaster, Machinist, and
Copper and Tin Plate Worker do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN 'CANS' USED IN THE PREPARING, CARDING, COMBING,
GILLING FIBRES, AND FOR OTHER LIKE USES and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
"
In the construction of " cans" as heretofore tin, or plain sheet iron has been
employed, and in practice it is found that not only are cans so made readily
damaged, or bruised by being overturned or knocked but that the revits are liable
to rust and the tinned surface becomes broken by bending, rust ensuing, and
damage to the contents of the can follows.
In the manufacture of "Cans" according to this my invention I employ
corrugated iron, or steel sheets, the corrugations being in direction of the length
of the can or of its circumference.
The "cans" made therefrom are then galvanized. A much stronger and better
can is produced and not liable to injury or bruises as heretofore.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing which
illustrates the improved sliver can the body 1 of which consists of a sheet of metal
corrugated between parts 2 and 3, the remaining portions 5 and 6 are plain, so as
to facilitate securing thereto the binder 7 and rim 8, the latter are secured to the
sheet 1 by means as ordinary, as also the seam of the plate 1 is to be secured by
solder or revits.
The construction of cans as above described, is greatly superior in wear and
strength to cans as heretofore made.
Having thus fully 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;
In the construction of sliver cans, the employment of metal plates such as 1, the
main portion of which is corrugated and having plain or non corrugated parts for
receipt of and in combination with the binder and rim, and as herein fully,
described.
