declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improvement in screw stoppered bottles, neck with seating for rubber

Improvements in Screw Stoppered Bottles.
I, JOHN HENRY WILLIAMS, of 6 Ladywell Road, Lewisham, in the County of
Kent, 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 :-
This invention has reference to an improved construction of screw stopper bottle
with pouring lip or spout wherein the seat for the stopper is located a short
distance, say about three eighths of an inch, below the top rim or upper surface of
the bottle neck so as to be located above the screw thread within the neck and
below and clear of the outlet groove of the said lip or spout which is thereby
prevented from interfering with the making of an effective liquid tight closure of
the bottle, by means of the rubber or other yielding jointing material on the screw
stopper.
A bottle having a neck made according to this invention and fitted with a screw
stopper is represented partly in elevation and partly in vertical section in the
accompanying illustrative drawing, a being the neck of the bottle formed with an
internal screw-thread b, a pouring lip or spout c, and an annular seating d located
between the screw thread and lip or spout and adapted to support, as shown, the
rubber ring or annular cushion e on the screw stopper f. It will be seen that
the seating d is at such a distance below the top rim g of the neck a as to allow
room between it and the said rim for the groove c' of the lip or spout e without
liability of such groove interfering with the production of an air tight closure of
the bottle by the stopper.
Bottles constructed according to this invention are specially adapted for containing,
in an air-tight manner, liquid such as ink that requires to be withdrawn from the
bottle in comparatively small portions at a time and the spilling of which, during
pouring, is liable to cause inconvenience and damage.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The hereinabove described improved construction of screw stoppered bottle with
lip or spout wherein the seating for the rubber ring or other jointing material on
the screw stopper is located a short distance below the top of the bottle neck and
clear of the groove in the lip or spout so that the lip or spout will not interfere
with the effective closing of the bottle, substantially as hereinabove described with
reference to and shown in the drawing annexed.
Dated this 9th day of October 1896.
