PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Jars, Bottles, and the like combined with Taps.
We, WILLIAM STRATFORD HOGG, of 8, Highbury Park, London, Gentleman,
and JAMES CORNELIUS PHILLIPS BROUGHTON, of 8, Highbury Park, London.
Wine and Spirit Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in jars, bottles and like receptacles of
liquids (made of stoneware, china, glass or other suitable material) wherein a
tap shall be included placed in such a manner as to prevent the accidental
knocking out, or turning on of the tap except when required. We make the
jar, bottle or other similar receptacle of any convenient size, shape or material,
but instead of having an ordinary tap hole, or projecting boss or lug outside the
receptacle, in which to insert the tap, we form a niche, alcove or recess sunk
inwards from the outside surface of the jar, bottle or other receptacle; the outside
surface of the receptacle will be of the same circumference and diameter at any
part of the body of the receptacle, or nearly so, but the base of the niche, alcove,
or recess will be of sufficient thickness to admit of a tap, key, plug or valve being
inserted vertically and to allow of a horizontal passage, leading from the inside
of the receptacle to the tap, so as to allow for the free flow of liquid. The tap is
placed in such a position, in the recess above referred to, as to preclude all possi-
bility of the former, or any part of it, projecting beyond the outside surface of
the jar, bottle or other like receptacle, no matter whether the tap be turned on
or off. In the case of wickered jars, bottles and the like we leave an opening in
front of the niche, alcove or recess, but add a hinged door of the same material
which can be fastened by a padlock to prevent tampering with contents of the
receptacle. We also propose in some cases to use a similar description of niche,
alcove or recess in jars, bottles and the like, but to insert our tap horizontally
instead of vertically, into a boss projecting from the inside of the recess.
do not confine ourselves to any particular form of receptacle or to any particular
description of tap, the essential part of our invention being the impossibility
of any part of whatever description of tap we use projecting beyond the outside
surface of the receptacle.

page_text: Wine and Spirit Merchant, 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 improvements in jars, bottles, and other vessels for
holding liquids, designed in such a manner that the tap or plug through which
the contents shall be drawn off will be secure from any accidental knocking out
or turning on, and thus breakage and waste will be avoided.
For the purposes of carrying out this invention we make a jar, bottle or other
vessel of any suitable material or shape but instead of having a projecting lug or
boss to take the tap or plug, or even causing a tap hole to be made through the
outer surface of the jar or other vessel, we form a recess in the same in which
our tap or plug is, so to speak, housed securely, and whether turned on or off
the latter cannot project beyond the outer surface of the jar, and if necessary can
be secured further by a door or shutter fitting over the recess.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into
effect we will proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings which shew how taps or plugs can be inserted either vertically or
horizontally, and of which :-
Fig. 1, is a fragmentary side section of ordinary jar shewing recess..and one
kind of channel through which liquid can be drawn.
Fig. 2, is a fragmentary front view of jar shewing. recess and alternative tap
hole.
Fig. 3 is a plan of the recess at the joint E, E..
In Figs. 1, 2 and 3 A is the jar, B the recess, C the tap or or plug hole, but
we may find it desirable to vary the liquid channels or tap holes according to
requirements, it being, however understood that in no case will the tap or plug
be allowed to project beyond the point D in Fig. 1.
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. A jar, bottle or other vessel from which liquids can be drawn, having a
recess into which a tap or plug can be fitted in such a manner as to preclude the
possibility of the latter projecting beyond the outer surface of jar.
2. The combination of the jar, bottle, or other vessel, with a tap or plug which
will ensure the above result.
