To allwhom it may concern a Be it knownnthat I, Low','- a-citi zen of the United States, residing at- Lon-.

' don, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in- Liquid-Gontainers for Use with Garbage flans or the like, and I doh'ereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inth'e art ticwhich itmake'and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in liquid containers made of cheap non-meappertains to tallic "material, such as waterproof-pa er, and it is especially intended to :provi' e a suitable liquid container adapted-- for use in connection with garbage cans, into which container. the garbage may-bedumped-and temporarily retained, and then the container with its contents maybe takenout of the can, and put in the garbage cart and the container consumed together with the garbage.

While especially adapted for as an auxiliary receptacle tobe used with a garbage can, the container may also be used to transport li uids, semi-liquids, or dry materials when desired, and may be made cheap" enough to be destroyed after a single use:

My invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which v Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly section, of an ordinary garbage can showing the paper liquid container mounted therein; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of'the liquid container when removed from the garbage. can; Fig. 3 shows the auxiliary;

supporting bottom with the cords for sup porting same shown in Figs. 1 and 2;. Fig.

4 shows the square paper sheet used in making the receptacle shown in Figs. 1v and 2, the dotted lines indicating the mode offolding the same; Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the sheet folded along the line 55 [of Fig. 4; Fig. 6v shows the sheet further folded along the line 6.-6of Fig. 5; Fig.

7 shows. the opposite edge of the folded sheet folded backward along the line'77 pf Figs; 5 and 6; Fig. 8 shows the (apposite projecting flaps of the sheet folde along the lines 8-8, 99, 10-10, and 1111 of Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7, and shows the bottom flap pressed up from the position shown peciiioatleii ol iiatters'r atent'l a licationeia-sauariis;191a schism-tiniest.

, Referring first to Fig. 1-, Arepresentsa garbage can ofany suitable oi referred" construct on, having the cover.

a B represents a paper. containerflwhich 'is constructed as shown, and is provided' with a supportingbottom' came of a 'piece' at A andthe paper, or cardboard, or the like,preferablyf rectangular in cross section, to whichis attached the; cord 'D.- This cord is rove th'i'ou h the bottom piece-Qand' preferably also t roughflthe fo dedportibn of the re-' cepta'cl'e, as'hbvtn 'in .1" and thus the piece G: serves as a bottom sup ortandthe cords D. as handles" for supporting the paper receptacle.

The paper receptacle is preferably made out of a single square sheet ofswii'ter pro'of paper'E, such as shown in Fig. 4. It is first i folded along the diagonal line-5-5 as shown in Fig- 5, the flap e is next folded along the line 66 of Fig. 5, the parts being then in the shape shown in Fig. 6, and then the flap e is folded backward along staples f which may be applied with the well 'known stapling machines, and push up the bottom of the folded sheet to the position the line 77 p in any convenient way, preferably by the shown in 13-13, leaving the feete. -Now insert the bottom piece C, reeve the cords through the reinforced portions of the container, caused by the folding of the fiapse and 0", fold the feet e over the bottom side of the bottom piece C, and the device is I ready for-use. y 7 In the form of device shown in Figs. 9- and 10, the device is folded in the same way,

cords D are omitted. In this form of deexcept that the bottom piece G and the vice the flaps e and 6" may or may not be folded over, and may be used as ears to lift blank used in the device shown in Figs. 1

and 2,except as to the necessity for folding the flaps e and e as aforesaid. The folded portions are preferably secured in place by the staples f similar to those already described.

a It will be obvious that either form of device may be conveniently inserted in and removed from the garbage can and placedon the garbage cart, and that the said device may be burned up along with the rest of the garbage, or otherwise disposed of.

It will be noted that this particular container may be transported in the flat or folded condition and expanded ready for use; and that it furnishes an especially desirable bucket for camp use, which may be used in camp for carrying water, or for other purposes. It may be conveniently transported from place to place, and may be destroyed, or thrown away, when no longer needed. a v

It will thus be seen that I provide an extremely cheap, light, and efiicient liquid container made of non-metallic material, which may be conveniently stored in a very small place, may be conveniently transported, and may be used for a limited time, and then destroyed without appreciable loss.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A container for liquids made of a single sheet of water-proof paper folded diagowater-proof paper folded diagonally and having the flaps projecting at each end of the diagonal folded in reverse directlons.

and on opposite sides of the container body, these two flaps being secured to said body, and having the remaining two flaps folded in reverse directions to form reinforcements at the top of the sides of the container, an

auxiliary supporting member placed beneath said bottom, and cords rove through said auxiliary supporting member and through the reinforced upper portion of said receptacle, substantially as described.

Intestimony whereof, I afix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

ERNEST WILKINsoN, CHAs. E. RIoRDoN.
