PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles and other similar Articles.
I, WALTER FIELD, of 4 Trafalgar Square, London, W.C., Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This my invention relates to bottles and similar articles used for containing
liquids, and has for its object the provision of an improved botton chamber
whereby any sediment contained in the liquid, when it falls to the bottom of the
bottle or other receptacle is retained in the said chamber when the liquid is poured
out, thereby removing the objection and inconvenience arising from the sediment
flowing out with the liquid and preventing any undue waste, as by this means
the bottle can practically be completely emptied.
In order to carry out this invention I make the lower part of the bottle or
other receptacle for the liquid of a special shape by forming an indent, neck or
contraction in the side or sides of the bottle at a convenient distance from the
bottom, so that the internal area of the bottle at the point or edge of the
contracted portion is much less than the main body of the bottle or receptacle.
This contraction may be > shape or any other convenient shape in section, the
object being to provide a lower chamber to the bottle or receptacle.
It is obvious that when the bottle is held in an inclined position for the purpose
of pouring out the liquid, any sediment which has accuinulated at the bottom,
immediately falls into the channel or chamber formed by the contracted portion
aforesaid and is retained therein and thereby prevented from mixing with the
liquid and from being poured out with it.
I do not confine myself to any particular form or method of contraction, or
means of providing the lower chamber aforesaid, as for instance I may form
or provide an internal flange all around the side or sides of the bottle or receptacle
for the purpose herein set forth.
The bottom of the bottle or receptacle may be formed separately if desirable,
so as to be removed when required for the purpose of cleaning out the sediment
accumulating in the aforesaid bottom chamber.
This invention applies more especially to bottles for containing beverages, and
the like, but may be applied to any form or kind of receptacle used for containing..
iquids.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles and other similar Articles.
I, WALTER FIELD, of 4 Trafalgar Square, London, W.C., Engineer 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 my invention relates to bottles and similar articles used for containing liquids,

page_text: and has for its object the provision of an improved bottom chamber whereby any
sediment contained in the liquid, when it falis to the bottom of the bottle or
other receptacle is retained in the said chamber when the liquid is poured out,
thereby removing the objection and inconvenience arising from the sediment
flowing out with the liquid and preventing any undue wa-te, as by this means
the bottle can practically be completely emptied.
In order to carry out this invention I make the lower part of the bottle or
other receptacle for the liquid of a special shape by forming an indent, neck or
contraction in the side or sides of the bottle at a convenient distance from the
bottom, so that the internal area of the bottle at the point or elge of the contracted
portion is less than the main body of the bottle or receptacle.
This contraction may be > shape or any other convenient shape in section, the
object being to provide a lower chamber to the bottle or receptacle.
It is obvious that when the bottle is held in an inclined position for the purpose
of pouring out the liquid, any sediment which has accumulated at the bottom,
immediately falls into the channel or chamber formed by the contracted portion
aforesaid and is retained therein and thereby prevented from mixing with the
liquid and from being poured out with it.
I do not confine myself to any particular form or method of contraction, or
means of providing the lower chamber aforesaid, as for instance I may form or
provide an internal flange around the side or sides of the bottle or receptacle
for the purpose herein set forth
The bottom of the bottle or receptacle may be formed separately if desirable, so
as to be removed when required for the purpose of cleaning out the sedimont
accumulating in the aforesaid bottom chamber.
This invention applies more especially to bottles for containing beverages, and the
like, but may be applied to any form or kind of receptacle used for containing
liquids. Said bottles or receptacles may be round, rectangular, or any shape, and
the contraction or internal flange aforesaid, may be applied to one side, or a portion
only of the inside of the bottle or receptacle if so required.
In order that my invention may be readily understood I will describe the same
with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a bottle, shewn in section, provided with an indent or contraction
as herein before described,
Fig. 2 shews a modification in which an internal flange is provided,
Fig. 3 another modification wherein the channel or chamber is provided by a
thickened projection with sloping upper surface on the side or sides of the bottle.
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 shew the application of the invention to one side or portion of
the bottle only.
Fig. 7 shews a bottle in an inclined position, with the sediment lodged in the
bottom chamber.
The same letters refer to the same parts in the several views.
A represents the bottle or receptacle, B the bottom portion or chamber herein-
before mentioned, C the contraction formed by the sloping side D, or the sloping
internal fange E, so formed as that the sediment shall not rest on said sloping
sides but shall be guided into the bottom chamber B as shown at F.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The provision of a chamber in a bottle or receptacle used for containing
liquids for the purpose of retaining the sediment existing in said liquid when said
liquid is emptied out of the bottle, by contracting the bottom portion of said bottle
or receptacle, either all around or on any side or portion of its side, substantially
as herein set forth, and described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. The provision of a chamber in a bottle or receptacle used for containing
liquids for the purpose of retaining the sediment existing in said liquid when said

page_text: liquid is emptied out of the bottle, by forming an internal flange on the inside of
the bottle or receptacle, or by thickening the sides of said bottle so as to form a
sediment chamber, either all around, or on any side or portion of its side,
substantially as herein set forth and described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
3. The application of this invention to any form or kind of bottle or receptacle
used for containing liquids substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth
and described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
