COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Special Packing for Butter, Cream, and other Products in their
Natural Condition.
I, EDMOND OSBERT, Manufacturer, of 20 Rue La Fontaine, Paris, in the
Republic of France, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described aud ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
In order to safely deliver them in their original state of manufacture to
consumers, certain delicate and susceptible substances such as butter, cream, etc.,
must be protected by their packing from any alteration arising either from climatic
conditions or from contact with the surroundings in which they may be for the
moment placed, or from fraud by substitution, adulteration, etc. which would have
for effect either to alter the product or to make it disappear wholly or partially.
These substances are manufactured in very varying qualities; their value varies
considerably with their quality with the period of their manufacture and with
their condition of preservation &c. and they cannot without essential modification
be submitted to the influence of cooking or even of heat.
In the present state of the trade, no one has succeeded in packing them in such
manner that the contents and the container form an absolutely intimate whole not
allowing the first to be reached without the second being attacked in a manner so
clear that it can be observed at the first glance, and by a very superficial
examination.
My paste containers have for their object to remove these disadvantages, and
especially as regards butters and creams; substances which require very particular
care in packing and to be protected from all fraud, in order to reach the consumer
in a state as nearly as possible the same as that obtained by the producer.
In brief, the novelty of my invention consists in substituting, for the packing of
a certain number of products, which it is desired to deliver to the consumer in
their natural condition, an envelope of paste combined in such manner that the
whole or a portion of the contents cannot be withdrawn except by breaking the
container, with the paper cardboard or linen envelopes, metal or wooden boxes,
baskets, tubs, barrels, &c., at present used.
The method of manufacture is as follows:
My envelopes are manufactured with pastes which may be made with all kinds
of flour, fecula, farinaceous substances mixed or separate brought to the condition
of paste either with water or with milk or with any other substance suited to give
the desired result according to the destination of the packing.
The pastes employed in the manufacture of my envelopes may be compressed or
not compressed, manufactured by hand or by machinery and may in brief undergo
all the preparation suitable to attain as well and as economically as possible the
object they have to fulfil
The pastes when made are formed into envelopes either by hand or mechanically
before or during dessication or cooking and dried or baked bare or in a mould.
The envelopes may be of any shape and of any dimensions and thicknesses.
They may carry designs, inlet or in relief, having for their object to act as trade
marks or to specify more or less completely their contents by indicating individually
or collectively the nature, quality, date of manufacture, place of production, and
selling price; briefly, any information which may interest the manufacturer, the
dealer, or the consumer.

page_text: My envelopes comprise a body and one or more covers in paste.
After being supplied with their contents they are hermetically closed by fitting
on the cover or covers and sealing the same by a kind of cement suitable to the
paste of which they are made; such paste may furthermore be different for the
body and for the covers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :
1. The packing in hermetically closed envelopes of paste and from which
envelope the contents cannot be abstracted without breaking or damaging the
container, of butters, creams and other substances which must not be submitted to
cooking, once they are packed.
2. The manufacture of these envelopes and the use for this. manufacture of all
kinds of pastes as well as the employment of all processes of manufacture and
details substantially as described above.
