PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles for Aerated Liquids and the like.
I EMILE ANTON BRAUBACH, of 15, Raleigh Gardens, Brixton Hill, London, S:W.,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I provide internally stoppered glass-bottles such as are now in general use
for aërated waters; on the inside of the neck or mouth of such bottles I form a
helical groove, for which purpose the necks must be suitably shaped and of
sufficient length, and I further provide stoppers, made of ebonite or any other
suitable material, on the shanks of which I form corresponding ribs or threads
to fit the said grooves, quite similar to the manner in which the necks and
stoppers of the now well known screw-stoppered bottles are made for beer, aërated
waters etc. I also make the shanks of the stoppers of sufficient length, so that
on screwing them home they displace the balls or other objects which close the
bottles internally when filled under pressure, and to prevent the escape of any
liquid during this operation I place a washer of suitable size under the shoulders
of the stoppers. The effect of the arrangement described is that when the screw
stopper screwed home the internal stopper is displaced and the bottle can then
be wholly or partly emptied as desired by simply unscrewing the screw-stopper.

Improvements in Bottles for Aerated Liquids and the like.
I, EMILE ANTON BRAUBACH, Gentleman, of 15, Raleigh Gardens, Brixton Hill,
London, S.W., 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:-
-
In the neck or mouth of an internally stoppered bottle of the kind generally
used for aerated waters I form an internal screw thread and I provide a screw
stopper and packing washer such as are usually employed for screw stoppered
bottles, the stem of this stopper being of such length that when it is screwed in
it bears against and unseats the ball or other internal valve, which finds its way
into a side pocket in the usual way, and then on unscrewing the stopper, the
contents of the bottle can be poured out, or only partially poured out and
restoppered.
The accompanying drawing is a section of the upper part of a bottle pro-
vided with ball valve and stopper according to my invention.
a is the ball valve seated as usual against a packing washer; b is a screw
siopper with packing washer c.

page_text: The stem of the stopper 6 is of such length that when the stopper is screwed
home it unseats the ball, which drops behind obstructions or into a pocket, so
that when the bottle is inverted, it is prevented in the usual way from again
seating itself when the stopper is unscrewed.
Instead of using a complete screw thread in the neck and on the plug the
thread may be an interrupted one like that used for closing the breech of a breech
loading gun.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
A stoppered bottle for aerated liquids and the like provided with seating
and pockets or obstructions for a ball, also screw threaded in the neck, in com-
bination with a ball and with a screw stopper of such length as to unseat the
ball when screwed home, substantially as described.
Dated this 11th day of August 1899.
