Description: |
| This was the original U.S. patent for corrugated paper for packing. One predecessor was an 1856 British patent, GB-185,601,597, to Edward C. Healey and Edward E. Allen, for a method of pleating (corrugating) paper for use in making top hats. In 1871 Albert L. Jones started using corrugated paper as packaging for lamp chimneys and glass bottles. Oliver Long used the corrugated paper idea sandwiched between two layers of heavy paper to make corrugated Cardboard in 1874. (Patent #150,588).
Abstract:
The object of this invention is to provide means for securely packing vials and bottles with a single thickness of the packing material between the surface of the article packed; and it consists in paper, card-board, or other suitable material, which is corrugated, crimped, or bossed, so as to present an elastic surface by reason of such corrugated, crimped, or bossed surface.
Claim:
A new and improved article of manufacture, the corrugated packing |
