I SARAH HELEN GARWOOD (Married) of No. 5, Taswell Road, Southsea,
Hants, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a loose spout for using on bottles, jars, vessels, and the
like, and apparatus connected therewith. The spouts are made of glass, china,
vulcanite, wood, ivory, or any other substance, material, metal or fabric, and are
fixed on to the bottles, jars, vessels, and the like, by means of a simple appliance,
which holds them firmly in their place. This appliance consists of an india rubber
band, or any other material substance or fabric, with pocket.
Dated this 3rd day of March 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Spouts for use on Bottles, Jars, Vessels, and the like, and Apparatus
connected therewith.
1, SARAH HELEN GARWOOD of 5 Taswell Road Southsea in the County of
Hants Gentlewoman do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described in aud by the
following statement:—
It is found that bottles and other vessels for holding liquids having necks
terminating in a swelled out rim or lip are frequently objectionable when in use for
the purpose of pouring out the contents by reason of the annoyance and waste
caused by the drip after the action of pouring or by the almost unavoidable spilling
of a portion of the contents on commencing to pour from the vessel and also on the
cessation of the operation. The "drip from medicine and similar bottles is
particularly annoying and the loss from bottles containing expensive liquids such
as perfine is considerable.
Now my invention is intended to prevent such loss and annoyance and in carrying
it into effect I form a loose cap or collar in combination with which is a spout
shaped extension or lip of celluloid vulcanite xylonite thin metal or any suitable
material but preferably of a resilient nature and in practice I have found that
celluloid answers my purpose well. This cap or collar with the spout formed
thereon is made in various sizes for different bottles or vessels and is not entirely
circular so as to entirely embrace the bottle neck but the arms encircle about say
three parts of the circumference or thereabouts leaving a space at the rear.
The arms thus formed are sprung round the neck and may have at their termina-
tion buttons knobs holes or other means for securing the ends if necessary although
I find that the resiliency of the celluloid or like material is sufficient to keep the
collar close round the neck in most cases without further fastening.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings

it and my appliance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. A loose combined spout or lip and collar of resilient material capable of being
sprung round the neck of a bottle or bottle shaped vessel as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.
2. The appliance for temporary attachment to the necks of vessels for preventing
waste of contents substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.
