NAPETERS. PHOTO-LIYNOGRAPHER, WASHINGTON D C @wird tapes WILLIAM P. THOMSON, OF WATERTOWN, NEW YORK.
Letters Patent No. 101,184, dated March 22, 1870 IMPRCVEMET IN ADJUSTABLE CHEESE-HOOP.
The Schedule referred to inthiese Lettera Patent and making part of the same To all whom it Imay concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. THOMSON, of the city of Watertown, in the county Ot' J efferson, inthe State of New York, have invented a new and improved Mode of Making the Metallic Or other Hoops used on Paper Cheese-Boxes, rendering them'perfectly adjustable to any size; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings `and to the letters and figures Of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in making a series of holes in each end of the hoop, with the spaces between the holes. in one end varying from those in the other by a small difference, so that, by putting a rivet through dilierent pairs of holes successively, a difference in the size of the hoop is obtained equal to the difference between the spaces in the two ends.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construetion and operation.
I make my hoop of Ordinary hoop-iron Or other material, and punch, for example, four holes in one end that are three-eighths of an inch apart from ceuter to center, as is shown in the accompanying drawings at A, marked 1, 2, 3, and 4. rlhen, in the other cud of the hoop, I make a number of holes one-half of an inch apart from center to center, as shown at B, and marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, &c.
Now, if7 the rivet be put through A1 andBl, (see Figure 2,) the hoop Will-be at its smallest size. (The same will be seen in the perspective drawing, Figure l.) But if through A2 and B2, it will be enlarged oneeighth of an inch incircumferencemequal to the dit'- ference between the spaces in the two ends, (see Figure 3.) And if through A and B3, it will be enlarged two-eighths of an inch. If at'A and B4, threeeighths of an inch. And now, it' the` hoop be enlarged to tbureigl1ths, it will be found that A1 will correspond withBZ, (see Figure 4,) and thus the extension can be continued, A succeeding A* in a continuous round.
It is a well-known fact that cheese will swell Or cnlarge'in diameter after being taken from the press, and that they do not all enlarge to the same extentsome more, some less-hardly any two being alike; also, that it is very necessary that paper boxes should tit the cheese of any size very close, or they are useless.
'Ihis invention renders the hoop adjustable to any size Ot' cheese, thereby making the boxes to tit tight, and saving in time, labor, and expense, and making the packages in bette` condition for transportation,
and enhancing the value of paper boxes under the patent No. 90,107.-
I do not claim, broadly, an expansive cheese-hoop; but
What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A metallic or other hoop, for boxing cheese and other purposes, provided with two or more sets or series Of holes, substantially in the manner herein described, so as'to make said hoop adjustable in size, for the purpose set forth.
