An Improved Sucking-bottle for Children.
I, WILHELM AUGUST BERBERICH, of Karlsruhe, in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
Germany, Head Teacher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention shown in the accompanying drawing in two figures refers to a
sucking-bottle for children, the rubber nipple of which, in contrast to the nipples of
the same form of such bottles heretofore in use, can be prevented by a slight
manipulation by the nurse from contracting together, and in this way allows
the sucking child always to drink normally thereout.
My invention consists in the arrangement of a sucking-bottle (A) whereby it
has around its body a channel (a 1) with a lateral notch (a 2). In the middle of
this channel near by the notch (a 2) is a small aperture (C) in the bottle (A) over
which during use of the bottle an elastic or rubber ring or band (D) is drawn.
The working of this my contrivance may be shortly set out. By means of the
elastic band (D) the bottle (A), provided with the rubber nipple (B), is in general
kept closed. Yet, nevertheless, when the bottle is being used, a slight lifting of
the elastic band by the hand of the nurse suffices to effect an interchange of the
inner and outer pressure of air, without the necessity, as heretofore requisite, of
taking off the nipple from time to time.

An Improved Sucking- Bottle for Children.
I, WILHELM AUGUST BERBERICH, of Karlsruhe, in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
Germany, Head Teacher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
The invention shown in the drawing left with my Provisional Specification refers
to a sucking-bottle for children, the rubber nipple of which, in contrast to the nipples
of the same form of such bottles heretofore in use, can be prevented through a
allows
slight manipulation by the nurse from contracting together, and in this way
the sucking child always to drink normally thereout.
My invention consists in the arrangement of an ordinary sucking bottle (A)
whereby it has around its body a channel (a 1) with a lateral notch (a 2). In the
middle of this channel near by the notch (a 2) is a small aperture (C) in the bottle (A)
over which during use of the bottle an elastic or rubber ring or band (D) is drawn.

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:
An improved sucking-bottle for children, which bottle has a channel round its
body with an aperture therein, over which aperture an elastic or rubber band is
drawn, by the lifting of which band contraction of the nipple is obviated; substan-
tially as set forth.
