TO ALL `WHOM IT MAY CNCERN:
Bc it known that I, CHARLES L. TUCKER, of the city of Chica nois, have invented u, oertsin new and improved Packiige for Holding and Shipping Lard; und I do hereby4 declare that the following is n. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the nccompanying drawings, making a. port of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a. perspective view with e. portion of the top removed. \Figure 2, n vertical section showing one side, and i Figure 3 a perspective view of a. pecking or cnse enclosing nine of the packages. Like letters refer to the sume parts in all of the figures. Lard is at present pnckd in tierces, barrels, kegs, tubs, or poils, and in shipping exposed to the direct rays of the sun upon the wood ofthe package, und is subject to great loss from absorption and leakage, and is subject to similar loss in warm weather when notexposed to the direct action ofthe sun. 'As at present handled itis the most 'inconvenient and unproiltble article which the retailer deals' in. It is nt times packed in tin, but the excessive cost causes its use t'o be limited, as it is very expensive for small packages, besides the inconvenience of opening and getting the lord out. p
My invention consists in overcoming these objections, und in providing or constructing u small, nest, and perfectly tight package made of wood or peper, or both, for holding lard, of c capacity of from one to ten pounds or more, so that it cnn he handled without waste or inconvenience; inv giving such box or caddy a. lining or covering of a substance impervious to or insoluble in oil, either by direct application to the wood oi' the box or bythe intervention of a p aper or other suitable lining coated with such substance or materiel; in so constructing such box or package that there will not be any projecting lid or cover to interfere with peckingv in ceses, or to injure the Small packages when so encased; in providing such box, package, or caddy with nn outer covering of tin or 1ead-foil or tin orlead-foil paper, and in constructing or making tho packages so formed into n single package for shipment, Aso as to' prevent the direct action of the sun from softening the lord b y reason oitbcspuce between the packages and the outer casing. Y 4
To enable others skilled in the ort to make and use myimproved pckagesl will proceed to describe the sume. f I construct my boxes or caddies square for economy of space in shipping; they muy, however, be mede round upon the sume principle- The sides are mode of thin strips of wood cut from steamed blocks. Appnrstus or machinery, such as is in ordinary use for cutting shingles,V veneers, or stoves from steamed bolts, con bei used for cuttingy such strips. They may, however, be inode of common paste or straw-board. The strips of wood from which the sides are formed are ent from one-sixteenth to one-eighth of an inch in thickness, and of s width to correspond with the proposed depth of the box. The interior dimensions of n box calculated to hold one pound are four by two and 0De-half inches across and three und one-half inches in depth, and for a box designed to i hold teu pounds, six und three-fourth inches across 'and seven and one-half inches in depth. The intermediate sizes can readily be determined from these. The bottom F is about three-eighths of un inch iu thickness, and is securely fastened to tho sides by tacks, glue, or other suitable means. When the' bottom is secured I then npply to the inside of tllevbox a, surfacing'of gum arabic in solution. Some other substances, such as gum seuegal, shellac, &c., may be applied for that purpose', but 'I prefer'gum arabic, ss it is not only insoluble in oiI,'-but is inodorous and perfectly harmless if any of its particles should become mixed with the lrd- This .coating not only closes the pores und seams of the wood, but closes all openings caused by imperfect construction, and thus prevents waste from the leakage or absorption Vof the orleine or oil of the lard. I obtain the sume resul the inside of the bOX with: paper or other suitable substance C, saturated or coated with the gum.
When the-boxeswe fully prepared they nreplaced under the tank or oil reservoir and iilled with lard at ns low a temperature as con be used sud permit v ready flow of the lard. When sullciently filled the top D is inserted inside nf-the box nearly or V.quite to thelard, and thenV secured similarly to the bottom. Thesetops ts by lining are mode without bond riin or Hongos. They are prepared with n coating or lining similcrlyto the box, so that the box can be placed on either end, and. are of the sama thickness es the bottoms, and when finished the box tl orl projections to injureor breuk tsdjoininir` boxeo is perfectly smooth on uli .sides, .ao thstlthsreore no poin .2 cams when packed in cases, and they are covered with tin or lend-foil, or foil-paper A, as shown. In preparing the gum arabic it will be advisable to put in a little glue, glycerine, or 'isinglass to prevent cracking in case the boi: should not be imuhediately used.' For shipping I pack these boxes into neatly tting cases E, thus securing a double package of wood or wood and paper, and thereby avoid the action or vinfluence of the direct rays of the sun and the heat upon the wood with which the lard comes in contact, which-is the principal cause of the absorption and leakage of the packages heretofore in use for this purpose, for the reason that any division in the package, however slight, stops the penetration of the heat, and when that'space or division of the wooden packages has between such packages a division or lining of paper (as I usually use foil-paper) which is a non-conductor, the insulation of the inner packages which contain the lard is complete, and scarcely any waste occurs in shipping or storing.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, iss- V 1. The box herein described lwhen constructed without a lid or cover rim, andwith straight, even sides from top tobottom, substantially as und for the purposes specified. I I l l 2. The application of gum arabic or its equivalent tosmalllard packages, either to wood or paper, for the purpose of making them non-absorbing, substantially as specified.
-3. The application or use of a tin or lead-foil or foil-paper covering for lard packages, constructed of wood or paper, substantially as and for the purposes specified. x
4. The mode herein described of packing lard for transportation by first packing the lard in separate small packages ofrwood or paper, and enclosing such smfall packages in an outerA close-fitting case, substantially as and for the purposes specified. f v
