@wat ('Bti DANIEL SHERWOOD AND GEORGE D. DUDLEY, OF LOWELL, MAS- SACHUSETTS.
Letters Patent No. 87,797, dated March 16, 1869;
IMPROVED FRUIT-BASKET.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the name.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that we, DANIEL SHERwooD and GEORGE D. DUDLEY, both of the city of Lowelhin the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and improved Basket for Fruit, Cake, &c.; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of our improved basket.
Figures 2, 3, 4, show parts in detail.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the several drawings.
f Our invention consists in making a basket entirely of twisted wire, whereby we are enabled to make a li'ght, strong, and beautiful article of furniture at a low cost.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will describe the construction of the same.
We take wire strands, of the proper size and length, and form the top ring, A, by twisting them together and uniting the ends.
The bottom ring B is formed in the same manner, but of a smaller size.
The ribs and legs C are formed of -twisted strands, bent inthe shape shown in the detail view, iig. 2.
The supplemental ribs are made in the form shown in g. 3, o r in that shown in g. 4;
The central ring a is formed of av single piece of thick wire.
The manner of uniting the ribs and legs to the rings A a B, will be readilyl understood from the drawings.
The pieces C, which form the main ribs and the legs, encompass the top ring, which passes throgh the bend c, and the lower ring, and the ends are clasped to the central ring a. p
The supplemental ribs D are clasped to4 both the topand central rings.
Theihandles b b are attached tothe upper ring, and the completed basket is plunged into a bath, of tin'ol other substance, to give it 'a coating of metal.
To illustrate our invention, we have shown a fruitbasket, which is quite deep, but for a cake-basket we would make it more shallow, and for a card-basket perhaps still more so; but as all such changes would be merely formal, we wish it to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to any form or shape o f basket.
It will be obvious that a basket constructed in this manner is very strong, while both lightness and symmetry are obtained.
Having thus fully described `our invention,l
We claim, as a new and improved article of mannfacture- A basket, constructed of twisted wire, consisting of the parts A,'B, C, D, and e, substantially as described -and specified.
DANIEL SHERWOOD. Y GEORGE D, DUDLEY. Witnesses:
S. W. STICKNEY, JAMES M. COBURN.
