COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bottle Case for Transport.
I, HEINRICH ОMMELMANN, Civil Engineer, 61, Markischestrasse, Dortmund,
Germany, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The present invention has reference to an improved bottle case for transport
in which each bottle is held separately without any risk of breakage during trans-
port. The use of this case renders it unecessary to pack each bottle separately.
Further the holder in question enables the temperature of the bottles carried in
it to be regulated.
In the accompanying drawing such a travelling holder is illustrated in two
forms and
Figure 1 shews the holder in vertical section and top view with temperature
regulator, while
Figure 2 illustrates a vertical section and top view of a simple holder.
As is evident the holder is provided with pierced partitions B1, B2 in the holes
of which the bottles are inserted neck-foremost. In the lower partition B¹ the
holes are provided with lining G composed of india-rubber, leather caoutchouc
or other elastic material, into which the conical portion of the neck is inserted.
The separation of this partition from the bottom of the holder is so arranged that
the mouth of the inserted bottles do not come in contact with the bottom of the holder.
The upper partition B2 which receives the cylindrical portion of the bottles, serves
to keep them in their places in any position of the holder. Moreover in order to
obtain this object completely, the lid of the holder is provided on the inside with
an elastic cushion "p "which exerts a pressure on the bottom of the bottles when
the lid is closed, thereby keeping the conical neck firmly fixed in the elastic
collars of the lower partition. By this means the bottles are fully protected
against knocking against and breaking one another.
To keep up a regular temperature in the bottles for special cases such as
excursion and hunting parties &c. sending samples of wine, brandy, beer &c. a
special holder (Figure 1) with double walls W₁ and Ws and double bottom S₁S
is provided between which walls a non-conducting medium such as felt cork &c.
is inserted. The bottles can be placed in bottle shaped cases or envelopes F of
suitable material for the purpose of maintaining the contents of the bottle at
any desired temperature. Between the bottle and the envelope ice or water of
low or high temperature may be placed. The envelopes F thus serve
receptacles for the cooling or warming substances, and can be made airtight by
means of screw stoppers K and india rubber washers d.
as
my said
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is;
