TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, GEORGE
CARTER HASELER, of Birmingham, Jeweller and Toy Maker, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Third day of March, in the fifth year of Her reign, did,
for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
George Carter Haseler, Her especial licence, full power, sole privilege and
authority, that I, the said George Carter Haseler, my exors, adŵriors, and
assigns, or such others as I, the said George Carter Haseler, my exors,
admors, or assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time
to time and at all times during the term of years therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the
Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TOP3
OF SCENT BOTTLES;" in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso, that
I, the said George Carter Haseler, shall cause a particular description of the
nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,,
to be inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six
calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said in part recited
Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will
more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
George Carter Haseler, do hereby declare that the nature of my said
Invention, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are

page_text: fully described and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof,
reference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed, and to the figures and
letters marked thereon, that is to say :-
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
Figure 1 represents a section of one of the patent tops to a scent bottle; a is t
the upper part of the top or cover, which is perforated to allow the scent to
escape through, when the valve used is opened; 6 is a lever, the short end of
which is on the outside of the top; c is a valve or stopper attached to the lever
6 by the joint e; this valve c may be made of any suitable material or shape, so
as it is made to fit tight on the top of the neck of the bottle; g, g, represents 1
part of a scent bottle, which may be of any desired shape; d is a spring which
acts on the lever near the fulcrum and is used to press the valve down tight.
Figure 2 represents a top view of the valve and lever, shown in Figure 1;
c, the valve; b, the lever. Figure 8 represents a plan or top view, showing the
perforated part, as shown at a, Figure 1, and may be made to any pattern or 1
design, according to the taste of the manufacturer or workman. Figure 4
represents a sectional view of another top; it consists of two plates, 'as 'shown'
by a front view, Figure 5: a, a, a, a, are the solid parts or portions; 6, 6, 6, b,
are the open parts; in Figure 4, a 'is the upper plate, and 6 the lower; one of
these plates is fixed, and the other moveable; c is the upper part of a small wire
or spindle which runs through the plates; e is a spring, the use of which is "to
bind the plates together; d'is a small knob or ornament by which one of the
plates can be moved and the 'scent allowed to escape, or the same may be done
by the small ornament in the centre; ff, is 'the upper part of a bottle'; 'g is
à washer and nut screwed on the wire c, against which the spring acts.
Having 'thus described the nature of my Invention, I would have it 'under
stood that I do not confine myself to the precise details shown, provided the
peculiar character of either part of my Invention be retained; but what I
claim is,―-
First, the combining the use of an open top or cover a with a lifting valve
to scent bottles, as above described.
And, secondly, I claim the combining a sliding valve with an open top or
to stent bottles as above described.
