Improvements in Sprinklers for Bottles.
We, BETTS & COMPANY LIMITED, of No. 1, Wharf Road, City Road, in the
County of London, and WILLIAM NIMMY, of 20, Clephane Road, Canonbury, in
the said County, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention has for its object to provide a sprinkler which can be applied to
bottles without the use of corks and which will practically prevent the fraudulent
re-filling of bottles. According to this invention instead of providing the upper
part of the sprinkler with the stem piece which has hitherto been used to pass
through the cork we provide the said upper part with a depending flange of metal
which is of a size to pass over the mouth of the bottle and is capable of being
closed around the neck of the bottle after the manner of a capsule. The said flange
should be provided with a cementing material to secure the said flange on the
bottle.

Improvements in Sprinklers for Bottles.
We, BETTS & COMPANY LIMITED, of No. 1, Wharf Road, City Road, in the
County of London, and WILLIAM NIMMY, of 20, Clephane Road, Canonbury, in
the said County, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
-
This invention has for its object to provide a sprinkler which can be applied to
bottles without the use of corks and which will practically prevent the fraudulent
refilling of bottles. According to this invention instead of providing the upper
part of the sprinkler with the stem piece which has hitherto been used to pass
through the cork, we provide the said upper part with a depending flange of metal
which is of a size to pass over the mouth of the bottle and is capable of being
closed around the neck of the bottle after the manner of a capsule. The said flange
should be provided with a cementing material to secure the said flange on the
bottle.
The accompanying drawing represents in Figure 1 a device made according to
this invention partly in section. Figure 2 shews the device applied to a bottle.

page_text: The sprinkler part A, which may be of any usual, or suitable, construction, is pro-
vided with a depending flange a, of metal, of a size to pass over the neck of the
bottle, and of a thinness which will allow of its being closed around the neck of
the bottle, after the manner in which a capsule is applied. The said depending
flange a, should be coated internally with cement which may be of any suitable
character to ensure the adherence of the flange to the bottle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
-
1. A sprinkler provided with a depending flange capable of being applied to
a bottle after the manner of a capsule as herein before described.
2. A sprinkler provided with a depending flange internally coated with cement-
ing material and capable of being applied to a bottle after the manner of a
capsule as hereinbefore described.
