Improvements in Bottles
I JULIUS MACGI, of Kemptthal in the Canton of Zurich, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows
A bottle according to this invention is provided with an aunular, horizontal
trough-like channel, situated on the shoulder of the bottle at the bottom of the
bottle neck and the outer edge or rim of which is formed of the glass or other
material of which the bottle is made that is to say, projects from th body of the
bottle This channel serves for the reception of the drops or small portions
of liquid that trickle down the outside of the bottle neck after a pouring-out
operation
The accompanying drawing shews in vertical section a bottle constructed
according to my invention, a being the liquid catching channel situated at the
bottom of the neck upon the shoulder of the body c of the bottle and formed
integral therewith The channel a is located therefore, between the nech and the
body proper c of the bottle After liquid has been poured out of the bottle, any
drops that may remain adhering to the edge of the bottle mouth, will gradually
un down the outside of the bottle neck until they reach the channel a in which
they will collect The outside of such a bottle, below the neck, will conscquently
always remain clean, because the residues that run down the nech, when the bottle
is in the vertical position, and collect in the channel, then in a horizontal position,
will evaporate or can be poured out or otherwise removed
In
Bottles with drip catchers according to this invention are especially suitable for
bottles designed to contain substances of a sticky or even a dangerous nature
handling the bottle the hands always remain clean, the bottle being handled not at
the neck but below the rece sed shoulder

Improvements in Bottles
I, JULIUS MAGGI, of Kemptthal, in the Canton of Zunich, 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

trough-like channel situated on the shoulder of the bottle at the bottom of the
bottle neck and the outer edge or rim of which is ormed of the material (glass,
stoneware, earthenware or the like) of which the bottle is made, that is to say,
projects from the body of the bottle This channel serves for the reception of the

bottle constructed according to my invention, a being the 1 quid catching channel
situated at the bottom of the neck upon the shoulder of the body c of the bottle
and formed integral therewith The channel a is located therefore between the
neck and the body proper c of the bottle After liquid has been poured out of the
bottle, any drops that may remain adhering to the edge of the bottle mouth, will
gradually run down the outside of the bottle neck until they reach the channel a in
which they will collect The outside of such a bottle, below the neck, will con-
sequently always remain clean, because the residues that run down the neck, when
the bottle is in the vertical position and collect in the channel, then in a horizontal
position, will evaporate or can be poured out or otherwise removed
In
Bottles with diip-catchers according to this invention are especially suitable for
bottles designed to contain substances of a sticky or even a dangerous nature
handling the bottle the hands always remain clean the bottle being handled not at
the neck but below the recessed shoulder
