COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Adjustable Stand for attaching to Syphon or other Bottles.
We GEORGE ABRAHAM and HARRY ABRAHAM (trading as Henry Abraham & Sons)
of 147, High Street, Southampton, Jewellers to the Queen, 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:-
A stand or tray is made (see drawings) of any suitable material, metal of some sort
being the hest, and a spring clip is then fastened to the back of tray about an inch
from the base to clip or grasp the bottle so that the tray will remain attached to the
bottle when the bottle is lifted.
In the case of the ordinary syphon bottles for which the stand is principally adapted,
wo strike out with a die, a round, metal stand or tray 5 inches in diameter. This
can of course be spun by hand if preferred. The base is 4 inches in diameter and the
sides are raised up and somewhat rounded to improve the appearance. The base can
be either left plain or engraved for ornament.
The clip, which is a half round piece of metal, flat on the outside and rounded on
the inside with the ends "A" bent round to prevent a sharp edge, is next soldered to
the piece of metal "B" which is then soldered to the back of tray.
By tilting the syphon bottle slightly forward, inserting the edge of base under the
2 ends of the clip from the back of tray, and pressing downwards, the clip will give
somewhat and thus admit the bottle which is held in its position by the arms or clip.
The reverse action will extract it. Fig. 1. represents front view of stand full size;
the centre of base being slightly ornamented. The depth of tray in this case is about
1 inch, the top of the clip being level with top of tray. Fig. 2. represents the side
view of stand full size, and shews the amount of curve given to the sides.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. An adjustable stand or tray for attaching to syphon or other bottles for the
purpose of receiving any fluid falling outside of the bottle after use.
2. The spring clip or arms which grasp the bottle so that the tray will remain
attached when the bottle is lifted,
