PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Combined Bottle and Drinking Vessel.
I, MORTIMER OTIS TURNER, of 114 Genesee Street, Marquette, Michigan,
U.S.A., Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a medicine or other bottle combined
with a drinking vessel in such manner as to be compact and always ready for use.
By this invention the neck of the bottle has an extended flange on opposite sides
and at the upper extremity thereof. The underside of each flange is cam-shaped.
The drinking vessel has an integral internally projecting lug which, when the
vessel is inverted and placed over the bottle neck, engages beneath the flanges.
By slightly turning the vessel it is forced firmly down on the neck of the bottle by
the inclined or cam-shaped flanges. If desired the internal surface of the bottom
of the drinking vessel may serve as a stopper to the bottle. A groove is made
around the upper part of the body of the bottle to catch any drippings from the
drinking vessel.
The drinking vessel is preferably provided with a scale to measure the quantity
of liquid therein.
Dated this 29th day of March 1895.

Improved Combined Bottle and Drinking
I, MORTIMER OTIS TURNER, of 114 Genesee Street, Marquette, Michigan,
U.S.A., Gentleman, 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 certain new and useful improvements in dose cups for
bottles, designed to be carried over the stopper and neck of the bottle and held to
the neck by an integral lug, on the interior surface of the cup, engaging with
oppositely inclined shoulders about the neck of the bottle, thus holding the
graduated cup securely over the neck of the bottle.
To these ends and to such others as the invention may pertain to, the same
consists further in the novel construction, combination, and adaption of the parts
as will be hereinafter more fully described and then specifically defined in the
appended claims.
1 clearly illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, which with the
letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this Specification, and in which
drawings similar letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several
views, in which :-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a bottle having secured over its neck the
graduated cup,

page_text: Fig. 2, is a view of the neck of the bottle with the cup removed, and
Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the cup and the integral lug carried therein.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A, represents an
-ordinary bottle having a neck provided with the two oppositely inclined shoulders B,
with the recesses or channels C between their respective ends.
D is a graduated cup, made preferably of glass, having the scale d for measuring
-doses, and E is an integral lug projecting from the interior surface of the cup
about midway of its depth, so that when the said cup is placed over the neck of
the bottle, and the cork the lug will come in contact with the inclined surface of a
shoulder or neck, and by a slight turn of the cup the rim of the same is forced
down over the shoulder F forming a part of the bottle, which shoulder snugly fits
the inner circumferential rim of the cup, and is also grooved as seen at f, which
groove may receive any drippings from the graduated cup, which might otherwise
settle about the rim and would be likely to seal the cup to the shoulder of the
bottle.
It will be understood that the stopper G may form part of the cup if desired as
indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
(1) The combination with a bottle having two oppositely inclined shoulders at
the extremity of the neck, of a cup having an integral lug projecting from its
interior surface about midway of its depth, substantially as described.
(2) The combination with a bottle having two oppositely inclined shoulders at
the extremity of its neck, a cup having an integral lug projecting from its interior
surface about midway of its depth, said shoulders having vertical channels between
their adjacent ends, the neck of the bottle being formed with a shoulder F over
which the cup fits and provided with a circumferential groove f, substantially as
.described.
(3) The combination with a bottle having two oppositely inclined shoulders at
the extremity of its neck, of a cup having an integral lug projecting from its
interior surface about midway of its depth said shoulders having vertical channels
between their adjacent ends, substantially as described.
(4) The cup formed with a central projection adapted to form the stopper G
-substantially as described.
