PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
[Communicated from abroad by GEORGE Leucos, Chemist, and FRANZ MEISER,
Engineer, both of Nurnberg, Germany.]
An Improved Construction of Metallic Water Bottles, Canteens,
Warming Pans, and Metallic Bottles generally.
I WALTER BRIERLEY, of Town Hall Buildings, Halifax, in the County of York,
Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in water bottles, canteens, warming pans,
and drinking bottles of metal, and the object of this invention is to form such bottles
out of one piece, or sheet of metal, without any soldering, welding, folding, or
riveting.
According to this my said invention I take a disc, or plate of sheet metal, and out
of this disc, or plate I stamp in the usual way a cylinder; this cylinder is next
burnished into the necessary shape to form the body of the bottle. To form the neck
of the bottle, a steel mandril of the required size, and shape for the bottle neck, is
inserted in the top portion of the cylinder, or that portion which is to form the bottle
neck, the body of the bottle having been filled with sand or other ductile substance,
the neck portion of the bottle is now pressed between two dies, which press the
cylindrical metal round the mandril, and thus the neck is formed, and that portion of
the metal which is squeezed together forms two wings, one on each side of the neck
of the bottle, holes can be punched through these wings suitable for attaching to a
carrying strap.
If the bottle is required to be of a flattened shape, it is pressed between two dies of
the requisite shape, previous to the removal of the mandril, and sand or other ductile
substance, which are afterwards removed. An indent can be formed in the bottom of
the bottle, so that it will stand more readily, by hammering over a concave steel
stamp.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Construction of Metallic Water Bottles, Canteens,
Warming Pans, and Metallic Bottles generally.
I, WALTER BRIERLEY of Town Hall Buildings, Halifax, in the County of York,
Patent Agent, 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 :—
This invention relates to improvements, in water bottles, canteens, warming pans,
and drinking bottles of metal, and the object of this invention is to form such bottles
out of one piece, or sheet of metal, without any soldering, welding, folding or
rivetting.
According to this my said invention, I employ a blank or plate of sheet metal, and
out of this blank or plate I stamp or draw in the usual way a cylinder. This cylinder
is next burnished or spun into the necessary shape to form the body of the bottle, a
steel mandril of the required size, and shape for the bottle neck, is inserted in the top
portion of the cylinder or that portion which is to form the bottle neck, the body of
the bottle having previously been filled with sand or other ductile substance, the neck
portion of the bottle is now pressed between two dies which press the cylindrical
inetal round the mandril, and thus the neck is formed, and the surplus portions of the
Price 6d 1

page_text: metal on opposite sides of the neck are squeezed together forming two wings, one on
each side of the neck of the bottle, holes can be punched through these wings suitable
for attaching to a carrying strap.
If the bottle is required to be of a flattened shape, it is pressed between two dies of
the requisite shape, previous to the removal of the mandril, and sand or other ductile
substance, which are afterwards shaken out. An indent can be formed in the bottom
of the bottle so that it will stand more readily, by hammering over a concave steel
stamp.
Such being the nature and object of this my Invention, the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of canteen or water bottle constructed according to my
said invention.
Fig. 2. is an end elevation of fig. 1.
Fig. 3. is a plan view of fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation (end view) of same.
According to this my said invention I employ a blank, or plate of sheet metal, and
out of this blank or plate I stamp or draw in the usual way a cylinder. This cylinder
is next burnished or spun into the necessary shape to form the body of the bottle 1,
a steel mandril of the required size and shape for the bottle neck c is inserted in the
top portion of the cylinder, or that portion which is to form the bottle neck the
body of the bottle 1 having been previously filled with sand or other ductile substance,
the neck portion of the bottle is now pressed between two dies, which press the
cylindrical metal round the mandril and thus the neck is formed, and the surplus
portions of metal on opposite sides of the neck are squeezed together forming two
wings 2-3 one on each side of the neck c of the bottle, holes a-b can be punched
through these wings suitable for attaching to a carrying strap.
If the bottle is required to be of a flattened shape, it is pressed between two dies of
the requisite shape, previous to the removal of the mandril, and sand or other ductile
substance. An indent d can be forined in the bottom of the bottle, so that it will
stand more readily.
It is obvious that the shape or design of the vessel can be varied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The manufacture of metal bottles in one piece, or seamless, by the employment of
the devices and method herein fully described.
Dated this 24th day of May 1889.
