COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Cap or Stopper for Use in connection with.
Bottles for Spraying Liquids.
I, MERCEDES DE LASKI of 6, Great Cumberland Place, London, no calling,
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 a new or improved safety cap for use in connection with
bottles such as used for spraying scents or other liquids, the object being to provide
a small cap to be placed over the end of the outlet tube for the purpose of
preventing the escape of the liquid contained within the bottle, in the event of the
ball being accidentally compressed, and which is particularly liable to occur when the
bottle is packed for travelling or other purposes, while my improved cap has
the further advantage that it can be readily slipped over the end of the outlet
tube, when not required for use, and effectually prevents the escape or evaporation
of the scent or the like contained within the bottle.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a bottle such as used for spraying scents, disinfectants
or other liquids, showing my improved cap fitted thereto and
Fig. 2 is a detached view of the cap, and the chain and ring by means of which
it is secured to the bottle.
According to my invention I provide a cap of india rubber or other suitable
elastic material c secured by means of a chain a to a small ring r of suitable
construction, designed to pass around any convenient portion of the top of the
bottle b.
When required for use the cap c is pressed over the nozzle or end of the outlet
tube so as to effectually prevent the escape of the contents of the bottle, even
though the ball be accidentally compressed.
The ring as shown in the drawings is of the "spring" kind, the portion
being capable of drawing back so as to allow of its being readily passed around the
neck of the bottle, or other convenient part of same, but I do not wish to restrict
myself to this special form or construction of ring as the free end of the chain may
be secured to any convenient part of the bottle in any other reliable and efficient
manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The use of a small cap of india rubber or other suitable elastic material for
closing the outlet tubes of bottles such as used for spraying scents and other
liquids, substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying
drawings.
2. In combination with the cap e as above claimed the chain a and ring r
substantially as herein described and shown and for the purposes specified.

spraying liquids substantially as herein described and shown and for the purposes
specified.
