HARRY C. YOCUM AND MARTIN V. KACER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI;

JACKET FOR BOTTLES.-

SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,134, dated November 12, 1889.

Application filed May 21, 1889. Serial No. 311,567. (No model.)

To all whom it 'may concern: Y

Be it known that we, HARRY C. YOOUM and MARTIN V. KAOER, both of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Bags for Bottles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This is a cover for bottles composed of heavy paper, the main part of which is preferably formed with indentations on one side forming conical projections upon the'other side, this material being the subject-matter of Letters Patent No. 234,582, granted November 16, 1880, to M. V. Kacer, aforesaid. v

In this improvement the cover is made of a rectangular sheet, two of whose edges are overlapped and stuck fast. One end of the cylinder is then folded to reduce its end to the size of the neck of the bottle and the corners brought together and held by a clinching-staple, which penetrates all the folds.

Figure I is an elevation of the complete wrapper. Fig. II is an enlarged transverse section at II II, Fig. I.

The cylindrical part 1 of the cover has numerous indentations 2 upon the outer side, with projections on the inner side, as described in the patent ofKacer, before mentioned, and these pits, indentations, and projections form an essential part of our present invention when in combination With the plain part 3 of the cover, which is folded into a frusto-conical form, so that its upper ends fit the end of the bottle-neck or the cork therein.

The blank for the cover consists of a rectangular piece, two of Whose edges, 4, are lapped together and stuck fast with paste, glue, or other suitable adhesive substance. Then the upper corners are made. into folds 5, whose points 6 are folded over each other, as shown, and a small staple 7 driven through the points and the part of the cover beneath them. The staple we have used is that Well known to the trade as McGills staple binders, and We have inserted them by a usual machine, which clinches the ends 8, as shown in Fig. II.

We claim as our invention 1. A bottle-cover having apart 1, fitting the body of the bottle, and a neck portion 3,

reduced by folding its two edges over onto one another, so that this portion may fit the neck, and a single staple 7, for securing said overlapping folds together, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, in a bottle-cover, of a part 1, adapted to fit the body of abottle and having the described indentations 2 and proj ections upon opposite sides, and an unindented neck or upper part 3, reduced in dimensions and thickened by folding and secured by a staple 7, substantially as set forth.
