Improvements in Bottles.
We, JOHN COWLOW ASH, of 117 Stoke Newington Road, in the County of London,
Inventor, and CHARLES JAMES ROBINSON, of 61 Mark Lane, in the City of London,
Wine and Spirit Shipper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in bottles, which consists of a bottle with
a chamber or swell at the top or immediately following the opening or inlet of the
neck, the said opening providing room for an ordinary cork to pass freely and to
terminate its passage directly and below the said chamber or swell and into the
portion of the neck, after which the chamber or swell is a receptacle for a stopping
of any desired colour or material in a plastic state with solidifying characteristics
susceptible of receiving and retaining impressions of any proprietary or other stamp,
by the hardening of the said stopping, the preservation of the article placed in such
bottle is secured, and in order to facilitate the withdrawal of the liquid or
article first placed in the bottle, it will be necessary to sever that portion of the
neck called the swell or top chamber in which the hardened stamped stopping is
contained, at a fine journal or indented line or indentations or holes not entirely
pierced of various shapes placed directly around the neck and between the swell
or chamber and the corked portion of the neck. After such severance the identity
of the bottle is destroyed and cannot be refilled with a substituted article without
detection.
