PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bottle for Holding Ink and the like.
BENJAMIN SCOTT ELDER, South Street, Durham, Chief Inspector of Weights
and Measures, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has reference to an improved bottle for holding ink and the like.
The neck of an outer vessel A (such as an ordinary inkbottle or inkwell) is
threaded inside so as to receive an inner vessel B (like a spiral tube) which can be
raised or lowered at will. This inner vessel has a flat bottom C upon which I
place a thin circular plate of vulcanite or other similar substance D to protect the
pen points. Round the sides of this inner vessel, but near to the bottom thereof,
I place holes E which may be of any number and any shape, through which the
liquid passes from the outer vessel into the inner. In Fig. I, F represents an
imaginary ink-line.

An improved Bottle for Holding ink and the like.
I, BENJAMIN SCOTT ELDER, South Street, Durham, Chief Inspector of Weights
and Measures, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in bottles for holding ink and the like,
and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class,
which is provided centrally at the top thereof with a neck adapted to receive
a supplemental cylindrical casing or receptacle, closed at the bottom, and open
at the top, and provided at, or near the bottom with perforations or openings
through which the liquid passes, said casing being vertically adjustable in said
neck.
I provide an outer vessel A which may be either circular or angular in form,
having a neck H, to which, if necessary, may be added, a flange, or rim on the
top, as shewn in Fig. 3; or on the bottom, as shewn in Fig. 2.
The inner walls of neck H, are screw threaded, and I provide a cylindrical,
screw-threaded casing or receptacle B, which is provided with a closed bottom C,
and which is screw-threaded to correspond with screwthread in neck H, and said
casing or receptacle is provided at, or near, the bottom thereof, with holes or pas-
sages E, of any size, shape and number, and at the top thereof with a flange, by

may be covered with a thin lair of vulcanite india-rubber, or other similar sub-
stance D, to protect the pen point, or other instrument used.
The bottom of the casing or receptacle, limits the extent to which the pen or
other instrument may be inserted into the liquid, and in practice, the casing is
raised or lowered in the neck only far enough to contain sufficient depth of liquid
as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A bottle, provided with a neck, and a casing or receptacle, adapted to be raised
or lowered in said neck, either by screw and thread or otherwise, said casing or
receptacle being closed at the bottom, and open at the top, but provided at or
near the bottom with holes or passages, through which the liquid flows, substan-
tially as shewn in the drawings and described.
