watch and other unfermented nquius, in the loowing manner.
I will now proceed to describe the nature of my said invention reference being
had to the accompanying drawings, similar letters refer to similar parts throughout
the several views.
Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation of the upper portion of an improved self
stoppering bottle on the line A B of Figure 2.
Figure 2 represents a plan of Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents a sectional elevation of Figure 2 on the line C D.
Figure 4 represents a section similar to Figure 1 excepting that the stop-balls are
shewn in position.
Figure 5 represents a detailed view of stop balls and quadrant.
Figure 6 represents a plan of Figure 5.
Figure 7 represents a section of Figure 4 on the line E F.
In carrying out my invention I provide a bottle, the lower part of which may be
of circular transverse section, of poligonal transverse section or of any other suitable
transverse section: in either case the upper portion would be formed with a ball
seat or bearing a and a spherical ball stopper b: the upper portion or mouth of
the bottle would be formed in the manner illustrated at Figures 1-2 and 3, thus
providing room to contain the stopper when by the tilting of the bottle to pour
liquid therefrom, the ball falls from its seat or bearing a to the position shewn at k :
to prevent the ball 6 from rolling out of mouth of bottle I provide the stop-rod c.
By a second modification I provide two stop-balls d which may be formed on, or
connected to the quadrant e, the quadrant being secured to a connecting shaft fi
by the adoption of this stop-ball arrangement the cheeks of the mouth of bottle can
be altered to the configuration shewn in dotted lines at g.
I prefer to make my improved bottles out of glass but in some cases I may
utilize porcelain, stoneware or other equivalent material.
The essential novelty of this my invention consists in the combination of a free
concave seat with a spherical stopper in the make up or manufacture of bottles; in
conjunction with the mouth and pouring lips h.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1st. The combination of a spherical stopper with the concave neck-seat of a
bottle, in conjunction with the mouth, pouring lips and stop-rod, as illustrated and
described in reference to Figures 1-2 and 3, forming and constituting a self
stoppering bottle.
2nd. The combination of a spherical stopper with the concave neck-seat of a
bottle, in conjunction with the mouth, pouring lips, modified mouth cheeks and stop-
balls, as illustrated and described in reference to Figures 4-5-6 and 7, the whole
forming and constituting a self stoppering bottle.
3rd. A new manufacture, consisting of making a self stoppering bottle in the
manner illustrated and described for use as a container of water, still lemonade and
other liquids, in contradistinction to a self stoppering bottle used for fermented,
