poisonous mixtures are kept and consists of the bottles or vessels being made with

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bottle or Vessel for Poisonous or other Mixtures.
I, HENRY GOODWIN of 403 Old Kent Road, London, S.E. Surveyor, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My invention has for its object the construction of bottles preferably of glass,
earthenware or the like for containing poisonous or other liquids or material of a
distinguishing form so that they may readily be identified from others and thereby
prevent mistakes in the administration of medicines &c.
In the accompanying drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective views of two different forms of bottle constructed
according to my invention and
Fig. 3 is view showing in two different positions the bottle represented in Fig. 1,
as when liquid is being poured from it.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
The bottle shown in Figs. 1 and 3 may comprise two substantially parallel and
vertical walls A A' and two curved, unsymmetrical or irregular walls B B'. The
shoulder C is inclined to what I may term the axis or imaginary axis of the bottle
in the manner shown so that when the bottle is tilted with the wall B at the under-
side, and even though the bottle be filled close up to the cork or stopper the air
will be continuously admitted and the liquid will run out smoothly instead of
intermittently as in bottles of ordinary construction.
The bottle shown in Figs. 1 and 3 is of substantially rectangular form in cross
section and that shown in Fig. 2 is of oval or elliptical form in cross section,
otherwise these bottles are alike.
It will be readily understood that I do not limit myself to the precise forms of
bottles shown in the drawings as they may be constructed in any desired form so
long as they embody at least one wall or portion of a wall unsymmetrical to the
other wall or walls. Although I have shown the neck D perpendicular to the
shoulder C, I do not confine myself to that arrangement. The outer surface of
the bottles may moreover be ribbed fluted formed with hemispherical or other
projections or otherwise constructed so as, in addition to the before described
רכ'סמ

page_text: peculiarity in the general shape, to render them more readily distinguishable
from other bottles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A bottle substantially as described with unsymmetrical walls.
2. A bottle substantially of the shape described and illustrated in Figures 1 and 3
of the accompanying drawings.
3. A bottle substantially of the shape described and illustrated in Fig. 2 of the
accompanying drawings.
4. A bottle such as described having an inclined shoulder such as C whereby the
contents can be emptied without interruption by inflowing air.
