PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ornamentally Securing Capsules upon Scent or
other Bottles.
I REGINALD BLACKWELL BREIDENBACH of 48 Greek Street Soho Square
London W. Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This my invention relates to improvements in securing and ornamenting articles
of perfumery and the object of my said invention is to devise a means whereby the
caps which are usually placed over the stoppers of scent or other bottles may be
readily secured and which shall at the same time present an ornamental appearance.
It frequently happens that a chemist, druggist or other store keeper purchases
perfumes or other extracts from the distiller or manufacturer and bottles such
extracts previous to retailing the same to his customers.
The stoppers are then usually covered with a thin cap of parchment or other
tissue, which is secured by a ribbon neatly tied in a bow or other ornament.
The neat tieing of the said bow is to inexperienced hands a difficult operation,
and it is to overcome this difficulty that my invention is designed.
In carrying my invention into practice I take a band or strip of india-rubber
and tie thereon a bow or other ornament of ribbon or other suitable material.
These are supplied to the shopkeeper as required, and, when desired to be used
for the purpose before mentioned, are passed round the lower part of the cap or
covering of the stopper so as to encircle the neck of the bottle.
Wire or string may be substituted for the india rubber if desired, and I do not
confine myself to any particular material.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ornamentally Securing Capsules upon Scent or
other Bottles.
I REGINALD Blackwell BREIDENBACH of 48 Greek Street Soho Square
London W. Gentleman 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 :-
This my invention relates to improvements in ornamentally securing capsules
upon scent or other bottles and the object of my said invention is to devise a
means whereby the caps which are usually placed over the stoppers of scent bottles
or other bottles may be readily secured and which shall at the same time present
an ornamental appearance.
It frequently happens that a chemist, druggist or other store keeper purchases
perfumes or other fluid extracts from the distiller or manufacturer and bottles
the same previous to retailing them to his customers. The stoppers are then
covered with a thin cap of metallic foil paper parchment or other tissue which is
secured by a ribbon neatly tied in a bow or other ornament. The neat tying of the
said bow is to inexperienced hands a difficult operation, and it is with the object of
overcoming the said difficulty that my invention is designed.
In order that my invention may be easily understood reference should be made
to the accompanying drawing in which,
1

page_text: Fig. 2 shews the mode of application of the same to the neck of a bottle.
In carrying my invention into practice I take a band or strip of india rubber or
other elastic material a and tie thereon a bow or other ornament 6 of ribbon or other
suitable material.
These are supplied to the shopkeeper as required and when desired the elastic
-band a is passed round the lower part of the cap c or covering of the stopper so as
to encircle the neck of the bottle.
The cap may be secured by string or otherwise and the ornamental bow and the
band upon which the said bow is tied, used for the sole purpose of ornamentation
or wire or string may be substituted for the elastic band before described and I do
not confine myself to any particular materials.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is,
The combination with a band or strip of india-rubber, elastic wire, string or
other material of an ornamental bow of ribbon tied thereon substantially as and for
the purpose described and illustrated.
