PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Suspenders for Infants' Feeding Bottles.
I, EDWARD HUMPHREY LEWIS of 47 Broad Street, Newtown, in the County
of Montgomery, Principality of Wales do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its objects the suspension of infants feeding bottles of any
type or form, by means of an appliance or device adapted to said bottle, without
entailing any alteration of the shape, and affording greater security against
breakage, and cuts due to broken glass than obtains in the case of bottles as
hitherto made and used.
In carrying my invention into effect I may employ a looped wire, wire thread,
wire twist, lace, string metallic twine or lace, which is preferably carried below the
bottle by a double loop, secured by a block of wood, cork, or any material, adapted
to the lower surface or bottom of the bottle, so that the double loop before
referred to, cannot be released from the bottle accidentally. The cord, wire, or
the like is passed around the neck of the bottle, and the double ends carried
through the slip or block below said bottle, as hereinbefore referred to.
I may, in lieu, and as an alternative device, of and from that described, use a
wire, cord or string loop attached to the neck of the bottle, or I may use a metal
clip with a ring or loop attached thereto for the same purpose.
In the before mentioned description of the application of my said invention
I have described a suspending device, with modifications in construction which may
be used with, and applied to, any type or style of infants' feeding bottles, and I do
not confine myself to the material or substance, nor to the conformation, so that
the suspending device does not form part of, or is permanently attached to, the
bottle.

Improvements in Suspenders for Infants' Feeding Bottles.
I, EDWARD HUMPHREY LEWIS of 47 Broad Street Newtown in the County
of Montgomery, Principality of Wales, Provision Merchant do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for its objects the suspension of infants feeding bottles of any
type or form by means of an appliance or device adapted to said bottle without
entailing any alteration of the shape, and affording greater security against
breakage and cuts due to broken glass than obtains in the case of bottles as
hitherto made and used.
To make my description clearer I have appended the accompanying sheet of
drawings in which Figure 1 shows the clip separately, and Figure 2 shows the
manner in which said clip may be attached to an infants feeding bottle, of any form
or type.
In carrying out my invention I may employ a wire, cord, ribbon or the like
attached to the neck of the bottle E Figure 2 and such attachment may be made
by means of a clip Figure 1 of steel or any suitable material. I preferably make
said clip so that the ends A have an inclination to spring together by means of the

page_text: coiled part B which acts as a spring. The cord or ribbon D may be passed
through a ring C on the clip, as shown in Figure 2.
I do not confine myself to the material or substance used, nor to the conformation
of the suspending device.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is:
The suspending device to be used in connection with or attached to infants
feeding bottles substantially as and for the purposes herein described and set
