I, DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot near Barnsley, in the County of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN INTERNALLY STOPPERED BOTTLES, to be as follows:-
My present invention has for its object an improvement in the formation of
internally stoppered bottles and particularly relates to the contraction at the base
of the neck of such bottles which prevents the stopper falling to the bottom of the
bottle.
This contraction at the base of the neck is at present made level and allows of the
stopper when the bottle is empty and stood upright to roll with a very slight shake to
either side of the neck. My present improvement is to ensure the stopper rolling
(when the empty bottle is stood upright) to that end of the said contraction which is
farthost away from that side of the bottle neck containing the projections for holding
the stopper from fulling back into the bottle mouth, when the bottle is being emptied.
To attain this object instead of the said contraction at the base of the neck being level
as at present made, I form such contraction inclined higher at that side of the neck
nearest to the projections which prevent the stopper falling back into the mouth, so
that when an empty bottle thus formed is stood upright the stopper will fall to that
end of the contraction which is farthest away from the indents which hold the stopper
when the liquid is poured out.
Bottles made according to my present invention can be easily filled when in an
upright position and this is a great advantage.
It will be well understood that this invention is applicable to bottles stoppered
internally either by globular or other shaped stoppers.

I, DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works Stairfoot near Barnsley, in the County of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer, 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:-
My present invention has for its object an improvement in the formation of
internally stoppered bottles, and particularly relates to the contraction at the base
of the neck of such bottles which prevents the stopper falling to the bottom of the
bottle.
.
This contraction at the base of the neck is at present made level and allows of the
stopper when the bottle is empty and stood upright to roll with a very slight shake
to either side of the neck. My present improvement is to ensure the stopper.rolling
(when the empty bottle is stood upright) to that end of the said contraction which is
farthest away from that side of the bottle neck containing the projections for holding
the stopper from falling back into the bottle mouth when the bottle is being emptied.
To attain this object instead of the said contraction at the base of the neck being lovel
as at present made, I form such contraction inclined higher at that side of the neck
nearest to the projections which prevent the stopper falling back into the mouth, so
that when an empty bottle thus formed is stood upright the stopper will fall to that
end of the contraction which is farthest away from the indents which hold the stopper
when the liquid is poured out.
Bottles made according to my present invention can be easily filled when in an
upright position, and this is a great advantage.
It will be well understood that this invention is applicable to bottles stoppered
internally either by globular or other shaped stoppers.
My invention will be clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawings
of which the following is a description.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved bottle taken lengthwise of said
bottle's neck, and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of said improved bottle taken
crosswise of the neck. Similar letters refer to similar parts in each view.
The bottle B has a contraction c c at the base of the neck n, which contraction is
inclined as shown at Fig. 1 being higher where it comes near the internal pro-
jections pp which prevent the stoppers falling back into the mouth m, and gradually
inclining until it ends on the opposite side of bottle neck n.
When a bottle (constructed in the manner described) is stood upright with its
mouth m at the top, the stoppers will fall and roll or descend to the end of the
contraction c c which is farthest away from the indents or internal projections pas
shown at Fig. 1.
Bottles made according to my present invention greatly facilitate the process of
filling the bottles in an upright position with their mouths m at the top.

page_text: I would have it well understood that the improved contraction cc is applicable to
bottles stoppered internally either by globular or other shaped internal stoppers.
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:
1. In combination with internally stoppered bottles the inclined contraction c c at
base of necks n, such contractions c c inclining from the internal projections or
indents p p formed on the said necks n for the purpose specified substantially as
described and illustrated at Figs. 1 and 2 or any mere modification thereof.
