F UEL-PACKAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,369, dated May 31, 1881.
Application filed May 9, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I. FREDERIO W. Rrrrnn, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington city,in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful I m provements in Fuel-Packages; and I do hereby de clare the following to be a full, clear, and ex act description of the invention, reference bein g had to the accompanying drawings, form ing a part of the same, wherein- Figure l is a perspective view, partlyin section, of a fuel-package embodying my invention. Fig. 2 illustrates a second method ofcarrying out the invention.
Like letters refer to like parts wherever they occur. I
Myinvention relates to the formation of fuelpackages for the purposes of trade and to facilitate the handling, storage, and transportation of fuel.
Hcretofore, so far as I am aware, sawed and split wood other than the very smallest kind, termed kindling-wood, has always been handled, transported, and sold in a loose state. This is objectionable as a matter of trade and convenience, first, because the purchaser cannot readily determine the quantity received; secondly, because opportunity is afforded for pilfering between the place of sale and place of delivery; thirdly, because much time is lost in handling the article in loading and storing,
fourthly, because the wood cannot be conveniently stored where proper accommodations therefor are not provided; fifthly, because in case of dispute as to quantity delivered there is no ready means of determining the same.
The object of the present invention is to remove such objections; and to this end it consists in a package of cut and split stove-wood, said package containing a definite quantity inclosed by binding withes, wires, crate, or equivalent means, whereby the same may be readily measured, handled, transported, and stored.
Iwill now proceed to describe my invention, so that others may apply the same.
In the drawings, a a a indicate sections of of wood which have been sawed and split to suitable size for stove or like use. Such seeti on s are preferably regularly arranged or piled to form a cube or parallelopiped containing the sixteenth, eighth, quarter, (1%,) or any other definite portion of a cord, and are then bound with withes I), which may be woven to constitute a crate around the same, and which serve to retain them in the desired shape.
The rectangular form and the fractions of a cord have been selected to illustrate the invention, because such a package is the most easily measured, handled, and stored; and withes have been designated as the preferable binders, because the same are cheaply and easily procured, and can be burned, thus utilizing the binder and avoiding the accumulation of rubbish but any form or quantity demanded by the trade, or which will meet the want of the consumer, may be substituted, and in lieu of withes a frame, such as e (Z, and binding-wires 0, may be employed.
The well-known split hoop material will also be found advantageous for binders.
Among the advantages of my invention are the following:
First, the wood may be sawed, split, and made into packages where labor is cheap and there is plenty of room for any machinery required.
Secondly, much time, labor, and expense will be saved in marketing the wood.
Thirdly, any pilfering of wood between the place of sale and place of delivery will be pre vented or readily detected.
Fourthly, such packages can be made an article of trade by grocers and small dealers, to the convenience of the public.
I do not herein claim such an article as the well-known small bundles of finely-split wood known as fire-kindlers or kindling-wood, as none of the purposes of my invention are subserved thereby, as will be readily apparcut; but,
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pateat, is
1. As an article of trade, a package of cut and split wood of the class specified containing a definite quantity bound by withes or wires, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. As an article of trade, a package of cut and split wood of the class specified, said package containing a sixteenth, eighth, or other definite portion of a cord, arranged in the form ofa cube or parallelopiped and bound bywithes, which form a containing-crate, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I alfix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 7th day of May, 1881.
FREDERIC \V. BITTER, JR.
