Draughtsman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN BOTTLES TO AVOID DISTURBING SEDIMENT WHEN POURING OUT THE CONTENTS"
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to avoid as far as possible disturbing sediment
when pouring out the contents of a bottle. For this purpose I make a bottle
broadest at the base and tapering gradually to the head so that when pouring out
the contents air may enter the bottle freely to fill the space vacated by the liquor.
In this way the bubbling caused by the entrance of air into the bottle will be
avoided and in addition I form lines or corrugations transversely across one side or
half of the interior of the bottle to form obstructions and hinder sediment from
flowing towards the mouth of the bottle.
I also form similar lines or roughenings across the inside of the bottom of the
bottle.

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 this invention is to avoid as far as possible disturbing sediment
when pouring out the contents of a bottle.
For this purpose I make a bottle broadest at the base and tapering gradually to
the head so that when pouring out the contents air may enter the bottle freely to
fill the space vacated by the liquor. In this way the bubbling caused by the
entrance of air into the bottle will be avoided and in addition I form lines or
corrugations transversely across one side or half of the interior of the bottle to
form obstructions and hinder sediment from flowing towards the mouth of the
bottle.
I also form similar lines or roughenings across the inside of the bottom of the
bottle.
Figure 1 of the Drawings hereunto annexed shews a side elevation of a bottle
formed as above described.
The shallow grooves or corrugations across the side of the bottle are shown by
the lines a, a such corrugations may either be made at the lower part only of
the bottle as shown in the Drawing or they may be in its upper part also if
desired.
In order to produce the shallow grooves or corrugations in the interior of the
bottle the inner surface of the mould into which the bottle is blown would have
sharp cut grooves formed in it as shewn in cross section at Figure 2 wherever the
roughenings or corrugations are to be formed in the bottle similar shallow grooves
or corrugations might be formed across the sides of bottles of other forms than
that shewn at Figure 1 (whether such bottles be made tapered or not) so as to
impede sediment from flowing towards the mouth of the bottle.
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,
1. The construction of bottles of a tapering form and with shallow grooves or
roughenings formed across its interior to hinder sediment from flowing towards
the mouth when the contents of the bottle are being poured out substantially as
herein before described.
2. The construction of bottles with shallow grooves or roughenings formed
across its interior to hinder sediment from flowing towards the mouth when the
contents of the bottle are being poured out, substantially as herein before described.
