UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CLAUD E. MARLOW, OF COLORADO, TEXAS.
BOTTLE-CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 446,122, dated February 10, 1891.
Application filed August 4,1890. Serial No. 360,955, (No model.)To call w hon, it 7nay concern:
Be it known that I, CLAUD E. MARLOW, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Col-
orado, in the county of Mitchell and State of
5 Texas, have invented a new and useful Bot-
tle-Case, of which the following is a specifica-
tion.
MIy invention relates to improvements in
bottle-cases for soda-water, beer, ale, and all
io bottled goods; and the object of my improve-
ments is to provide a strong, clean, and dura-
ble case by a combination of wood or metal
and wire. I attain these objects by mechan-
ism illustrated in the accompanying draw-
15 ings, in which-
Figure 1 is a top view of the bottle-case
with parts of the bottle-holding diaphragm
broken away to show the construction. Fig.
2 is an end view, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal
20 section, with similar parts broken away for
the same purpose.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the
three views.
The main frame of the case is formed of
25 vertical sides cc a and vertical ends b b, to-
gether with three longitudinal bottom slats
c c c, two at the sides and one in the center,
all as shown. There are also extra cross-
pieces set edgewise over the bottom slats dd d,
30 as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. These parts of
the frame may be first nailed or screwed to-
gether in the usualway. As a strengthening
re-enforcement, a wire e e passes around each
end of the box in a groove, as shown in Figs.
35 1 and 3, and its course by dotted line in Fig.
2, being held up to the ends b b in the space
between slats c c c by ordinary staples f f.
(See Fig. 2).
Horizontally around the inside of the box
40 passes a wire g, held by staples driven in side
and end pieces of the frame, as shown in
Figs. 1 and 3, and parallel therewith, just
above cross-pieces d d d, passes another wire
h, held in place by staples same as wire g.
45 Passing around top wire g are wires i, which
are woven so as to leave round spaces 1 of a
size to exactly hold the main body of the bot-tle X. (Shown in Fig. 3.) Passing similarly
around the bottom wire h are other wires 1k,
which are woven into smaller meshes, leaving 50
spaces in for the reception of the neck of the
bottle X. The wires used may be galvanized
metal. I have shown spaces for two dozen
bottles, though it is evident I may 'vary the
proportions at will. The re-enforcing wires 55
a e at the ends and the wires g and h, with the
bottle-holding wires woven around them, make
the box exceedingly strong, leaving it at the
same time very light and easily handled.
The important feature of my device is this: 6c
The diaphragms for holding the necks and
bodies of the bottles being made of wire
woven andtwisted together, insteadof straight
longitudinal and cross strips, the bottles are
supported continuously around and cannot 65
distend the sides of the places in which they
are put, these places being circular in form
and not rectangular. A bottle placed in the
case is held securely whether it is alone or
the case is full. 70
The horizontal bottle-holding diaphragms,
instead ofobeing made of round wire, may be
of flat band metal, if preferred.
The nails fastening the sides to the ends
and the slats on the bottom are to be driven 75
in the bottom of the grooves for the wire en-
circling the ends. The wire also being placed
in grooves and not out upon the surface, both
nails and wires are protected from tearing out
in rough handling. 80o
What I claim is-
In a bottle-holding case or box, the combi-
nation, with inner encircling horizontal wires,
of body and neck holding diaphragms con-
structed of metal bands or wires woven around 85
the encircling wires and woven or twisted to-
gether to form circular supports for the bodies
and necks of the bottles, substantially as de-
scribed and set forth.
CLAUD E. MARLOW.
