I, THOMAS JOHN WILLIAMS of 13 Denzil Terrace Westcombe Park Blackheath
in the County of Kent India Rubber Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of
my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MEDICINE OR OTHER BOTTLES FOR MEASURING
A DOSE OR QUANTITY OF POWDER OR LIQUID AS DELIVERED THEREFROM
to be as
follows:-
"3
This Invention relates to the application of a throttle valve to the neck of a
medicine or other bottle so that a measured or determined quantity of powder or
liquid can be allowed to fall into the neck or mouth of the bottle when the valve
is closed to prevent more than the desired quantity being delivered or discharged
from the bottle when the cork or stopper is removed therefrom. The spindle of
the throttle valve passes through the neck of the bottle by which the valve can
be opened and closed when required.

I THOMAS JOHN WILLIAMS of 13 Denzil Terrace Westcombe Park Blackheath
in the County of Kent India Rubber Manufacturer 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 invention relates to the application of a throttle valve to the neck of a
medicine or other bottle so that a measured or determined quantity of powder or
liquid can be allowed to fall into the neck or mouth of the bottle when the valve
is closed to prevent more than the desired quantity being delivered or discharged
from the bottle when the cork or stopper is removed therefrom. The spindle of
the throttle valve passes through the neck of the bottle by which the valve can
be opened and closed when required.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood and readily carried
into practice I will proceed to describe the drawings hereto annexed which show
my improvements as applied to a stoppered bottle containing effervescing powder.
a is a throttle valve fixed on the axis a¹ one end of which passes into a recess a²
in the inside of the neck of the bottle and the other passes through a hole in the
neck at a³ the whole being lined with india rubber or other suitable material to
make a tight joint but yet allow the axis to turn therein when reversing the
position of the throttle valve a which is shown to be open..
On turning the bottle upside down the powder fills the space between the stopper
and the axis of the valve which is then turned into a horizontal position so as to
retain the charge or dose of powder in the neck from which it can be discharged
by removing the stopper 61 of the bottle b.
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 application of a throttle valve to the neck of a medicine or other bottle for
the purpose of measuring a determined quantity of the contents substantially, in
the manner and for the purpose herein before described.
