PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements applicable to Bottles or other similar Vessels used
for Containing Poisonous Substances.
I, ALEXANDER REED of 22 Martin Street Sheffield in the County of York,
Engraver do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my present invention is to apply to bottles or other similar vessels
used for containing poisonous substances, a simple and efficient means for preventing
the accidental use of said vessels for any other purpose than for what they are
intended; to attain which I secure to the mouth, neck, or upper part of the said
bottle, or other vessel, a guard or hoop which may extend in a loop form at a
suitable distance above and over the bottle or vessel's mouth, in such a fashion, that
when a person is about to use the bottle or vessel arranged with my improvements,
he is obliged at once to know that the same contains poisonous substances, as
finding the mouth of the bottle or vessel guarded he is led to enquire, or to think
what it contains.
My improved guard may be made of a thin metallic strip extending in arch
or loop form at a suitable distance above the mouth of bottle, or vessel, and
it is fastened to the neck or mouth of same by a metallic band, which may be
made with or attached to said guard. Or where preferred my improved guard may
be composed of wood, or other non-metallic substance, and the neck of bottle or
jar may have a recess or groove, or grooves formed thereon, in order to fit the
guard to the same more securely. Or when the bottle or vessel is encased in wicker
or other casing, the guard may be made with or fixed to the upper part of said
casing so as to extend over the mouth of bottle or vessel in manner before
described.
