Year: 1865

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Edward Atkinson, of Old Bond Street, in the
City of Westminster, Perfumer, for the Invention of "AN IMPROVED
APPARATUS FOR CONTAINING AND DISPERSING SCENTS AND OTHER LIQUIDS."
Sealed the 18th July 1865, and dated the 23rd January 1865.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Edward Atkinson at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
23rd January 1865.
I, EDWARD ATKINSON, of Old Bond Street, in the City of Westminster,
Perfumer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "AN
IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR CONTAINING AND DISPERSING SCENTS AND OTHER LIQUIDS,"
to be as follows:-
My apparatus consists of a combined reservoir and disperser constructed
substantially as hereafter described. The reservoir for containing scent or
other liquid is formed with a neck open at top and with a tubular outlet from
the side of the neck or other convenient part. Inside the apparatus I place
a bent tube sealed at bottom, and with its curved or bent part made to enter
the tubular outlet; this bent tube has a hole formed in its side at a slight
distance from the bottom. The dispersing of the scent or other liquid is
effected by blowing down the open neck, when scent will be forced into
the bent tube through the hole near the lower part thereof, and out through
the open mouth at the same time that air will be expelled with the scent
in the state of fine spray from the tubular outlet.

NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Edward Atkinson, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement thereof, reference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed,
that is to say:-
My apparatus consists of a combined reservoir and disperser constructed
substantially as hereafter described. The reservoir for containing scent or
other liquid is formed with a neck open at top, and with a tubular outlet from
the side of the neck or other convenient part. Inside the apparatus I place
a bent tube sealed at bottom, and with its curved or bent part made to
enter the tubular outlet; this bent tube has a hole formed in its side at a
slight distance from the bottom.
The apparatus may be constructed of any desired shape and size; two forms

reservoir, and 6 the neck, which is open at top; c is a tubular outlet in the
neck; d is a bent tube inside the apparatus sealed at bottom, and with its
bent part made to enter the tubular outlet c; e, is a hole formed in the side
and near the bottom of the tube d.
The dispersing of the sceut or other liquid is effected by blowing down the
open neck b, when scent will be forced into the bent tube d through the hole e,
and out through the open mouth thereof, at the same time that air will be
expelled with the scent in the state of fine spray from the tubular outlet c;
is a stand or support for the apparatus.
And having now described the nature of my said Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim, constructing
apparatus for containing and dispersing scents and other liquids substantially
as herein-before described and illustrated in the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Edward Atkinson, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of July, One thousand eight
hundred and sixty-five.
EDWARD ATKINSON.
