PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles or Receptacles for Containing Aörated
Waters and other Liquors.
I ANTON SCHON of 26 Woodland Road New Southgate in the County of
Middlesex Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my Invention is to provide a bottle or receptacle in which aërated
waters and other liquors are contained so that they can be poured out at the same
time to make a mixture of the several liquors and waters or if so desired so that the
several liquors or waters can be poured out separately.
According to my Invention I make the said bottles or receptacles with a division
or divisions forming two or more separate chambers leading preferably to one
common outlet but capable of being closed so that the liquors or waters in one
chamber do not mix with the other liquors or waters in the other chamber or chambers
until required for use. The closing of the chambers can be effected by a screw or
other stopper common to the several chambers so that when the stopper is removed
the contents of the several chambers can be poured out at the same time. Or the
chamber which is to receive the aërated water is made with a second opening closed
by a ball or other stopper so that the said chamber can be charged with the aërated
water in the usual way. If one only of the liquors or waters be required (the aërated
water for example) it can be poured out by releasing the ball or other stopper which
closes its outlet and the other liquor contained in the other chamber or chambers can
be reserved for future use.

Improvements in Bottles or Receptacles for Containing Aerated
Waters and other Liquors.
I ANTON SCHON of 26 Woodland Road New Southgate in the County of Middlesex
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 :-
The object of my Invention is to provide a compound bottle or receptacle in which
more than one liquor is contained for instance an aerated water and some other liquor
which is to be mixed therewith to make a beverage so that they can be poured out
at the same time to make a mixture of the several liquors and waters or if so desired
so that the several liquors or waters can be poured out separately.
According to my Invention I make the said bottles or receptacles with two or more
separate chambers with the outlet or outlets capable of being closed so that the liquors
or waters in one chamber do not mix with the other liquors or waters in the other
chamber or chambers until required for use. The closing of the chambers can be
effected by a screw or other stopper common to the several chambers so that when
the stopper is removed the contents of the several chambers can be poured out at
the same time. Or the chamber which is to receive the aerated water is made with
a second opening closed by a ball or other stopper so that the said chamber can be
charged with the aerated water in the usual way. If one only of the liquors or
waters be required (the aerated water for example) it can be poured out by releasing
the ball or other stopper which closes its outlet and the contents in the other chamber
or chambers can be reserved for future use.

page_text: And in order that my said Invention may be fully understood I shall now proceed
to describe the same and for that purpose shall refer to the several figures on the
annexed sheets of drawings the same letters of reference indicating corresponding
parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 represents in vertical section and Figure 2 in plan a bottle made
according to my Invention and Figure 3 is an underside view of the stopper. The
interior of the bottle is divided into two chambers A and B by the partition C
the said partition having formed at top a screw socket c in which is received the
screwed stem d of the stopper D the said stopper being of a size to cover the two
mouths or outlets from the chambers A and B and having at its underside an elastic
pad d² for giving a tight closure of both of the chambers A and B. The screwed
socket c_terminates in a seating for an elastic washer c² against which the ball
stopper E bears as in ordinary aerated water bottles the stopper D having a per-
foration d³ through it and through its screwed stem through which an instrument
can be introduced for pressing down the ball E so that the aerated liquid contained
in the chamber B can be withdrawn through the perforation d³ without removing the
contents of the chamber A if desired. By removing the stopper D the contents of
both chambers A and B can be poured out together so as to make a mixed beverage
of the contents of the two chambers say for instance of wine or spirit from the
chamber A and of soda water from the chamber B. I have shewn the two chambers
of about equal size but it will be evident that they may be of any relative size desired
in accordance with the amounts of the respective liquors. The aerated liquid portion
of the bottle may be plain or it may have any of the usual projections for retaining
the stopper E after it is displaced. It is evident that I may make the bottle with
more than one division if three or more chambers are desired for three or more
different kinds of liquors.
Figure 4 shews in vertical section and Figure 5 in cross section a bottle wherein
the two chambers are made separately from each other they being shaped so that they
fit together and can be secured in any suitable manner as for instance by cementing
them together or by passing elastic bands or wire or other suitable material around
them as at w.
The necks of the two chambers may either be formed so as to fit
together to form a circular end closeable as in Figures 1, 2 and 3 or they may be
separate necks closed by separate stoppers or by a stopper made of a strip with two
projections with elastic rings over them one to close each of the mouths or outlets as
shewn in Figures 4 and 6 the one projection being perforated at d³ and the mouth
of the chamber being provided with a ball stopper E as in Figures 1, 2 and 3. I may
provide any suitable device for displacing the ball stopper for instance the V shaped
piece with projections taking between the surface of the elastic washer c² as described
in the Specification of Foster's Patent No. 11036 of 1887 so that when the said
V shaped piece is moved to one side it presses the washer so that gas escapes and the
stopper falls or I may make a small pipe or passage f pass from one side of the
stopper E to the other as shown in Figures 6 and 6 so that it gives communication
between the interior and exterior of the bottle the upper end of the said pipe or
passage being closed by the elastic washer d² of the stopper D so that when the
stopper D is removed the gas escapes by this pipe or passage and the ball E falls so
that the liquid from both chambers A and B can be poured out both at the same time.
If it be desired to withdraw the liquid from the chamber B only this may be done
by displacing the ball stopper by means of an instrument inserted through the
passage d³.
Figure 7 illustrates an arrangement by which the liquid may be discharged from
either of the chambers A B separately or from both chambers simultaneously as
desired. The chamber B is provided with a ball stopper E as in Figure 4 and with
a V piece d for displacing it when required which piece d' in this arrangement is
bent over the mouth of the bottle as shown.
The chamber A is closed by a plug stopper D having a wire a surrounding it and
provided with a projection 92 engaged by a lever attached to a wire i which
surrounds the two chambers A and B. To withdraw the stopper D, the lever / is

page_text: pressed out of engagement with the projection g' and then the stopper D may be
removed by pressing upwards the projection 92 and the contents of the chamber A
may be poured therefrom without withdrawing the contents of the chamber B. If
it be required to discharge the contents of the chamber B only that may be done by
raising the bent over end of the V piece d' so as to release the gases from the said
chamber and cause the ball stopper to fall as hereinbefore described with reference
to Figure 4 the contents may then be poured out through the mouth of the
chamber.
To discharge the contents of both chambers simultaneously it is simply necessary
in removing the stopper from the chamber A by pressing upwards the projection g
to press upwards at the same time the bent over end of the V piece d then
upon tilting the compound bottle the contents of both chambers will flow out
therefrom.
If desired the compound bottle or receptacle may be provided with a stopper
for closing and opening both chambers as shewn in Figure 8 the said stopper D
having two projections fitted with elastic packings d fitting the mouths of both
chambers. The stopper may be secured in position by wires levers or by any other
suitable means.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the details can be varied considerably
without departing from the nature of my Invention and therefore I do not limit
myself to the precise details which I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings
for instance the stopper D Figure 1 may be wired down instead of being screwed.
down.
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 :-
1st. A compound bottle or receptacle for containing two or more liquids so that
they can both or all be poured out at once to make a mixed beverage substantially
as hereinbefore described.
2nd. A bottle or receptacle provided with a partition or partitions so as to constitute
separate chambers capable of being opened so that both or all of the liquid contents
of the respective chambers can be withdrawn at the same time substantially as and
for the purposes herein before described.
3rd. A compound bottle and its stopper or stoppers constructed and arranged so
that the contents of either chamber can be discharged without discharging the contents
of the other chamber or chambers and so that the contents of both or all the chambers
may be simultaneously discharged if required substantially as herein before described
with reference to Figure 7 of the accompanying drawings.
4th. A compound bottle and its stopper or closure constructed substantially as
hereinbefore described and illustrated by Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying
drawings.
5th. A combined bottle and its stopper or closure arranged or constructed sub-
stantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 of the
accompanying drawings whether the means for releasing the ball stopper be like that
shewn in the said Figures or as shewn in Figure 6 or Figure 6º.
