PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Stoppers for Bottles, Jars, and
other Receptacles.
We, ROBERT RAMAGE CRAW, of 36, Margaretta Terrace, Oakley Street, Chelsea,
London, Ship Draughtsman, and JOHN ANDERSON CRAW, of 36, Margaretti
Terrace, Oakley Street, Chelsea, London, Lecturer on Chemistry, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements in stoppers claimed consist in the modification of ordinary
stoppers to form receptacles, substantially as herein described.
The stopper is enlarged so as to form a receptacle, upright as in Figure 1,
or as in Figure 1 without the part A, or as in Figure 1 without the part B;
or inverted as in Figure 2, or as in Figure 2 without the part A; or lying on side
as in Figure 3; or tilted at any angle to the axis of the portion acting as an
ordinary stopper.
The position of the neck of the vessel closed, relatively to the position of the
stopper, is indicated by the dotted lines in the figures. The improved stopper
may be so modified as to fit the neck of any vessel, bottle, flask, jar, tank, in-
ternally or externally. The said stopper may be graduated or ungraduated and
it may be made of glass, porcellain, ebonite, bone, indiarubber, caoutchouc,
celluloid, paper, cork, wood, metal, and lastly it may be lined or covered with any
of the said materials.

page_text: The stopper is enlarged so as to form a receptacle, upright as in Figure 1
of drawings left with Provisional Specification, or as in Figure 1 without part A,
or as in Figure 1 without part B; or inverted as in Figure 2, or as in Figure 2
without part A; or lying on side as in Figure 3; or tilted at any angle to the
axis of the portion acting as an ordinary stopper. The position of the neck of
the vessel closed, relatively to the position of the stopper, is indicated in the
figures of the drawings left with the Provisional Specification by the dotted
lines. The improved stoppers may be so modified as to fit the neck of any bottle,
jar or other receptacle, internally or externally. The receptacle may be
graduated or ungraduated. The improved stopper may be made of glass, porce-
lain, metal, rubber, ebonite, bone, celluloid, paper, cork; and may be lined in-
ternally or covered externally with any material, partially or wholly.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: -
(1) The modification, to form receptacles, of stoppers for bottles, jars and other
receptacles.
(2) The graduation of the said modified stoppers.
(3) The construction of the said modified stoppers by means of the substances
herein described.
(4) The lining and covering of the said modified stoppers, partially or wholly.
Dated this the 12th day of September 1898.
