COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Perfume Bottles.
I, CHARLES WHITE of 45 Buckingham Palace Road, London S.W. Pharmaceutical
Chemist, 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 :-
This invention refers to the construction and arrangement of fittings to what I may
term a miniature lantern shaped vessel for holding perfume, all as hereafter described.
According to my invention the lantern shaped vessel is preferably made of glass for
holding the perfume, it is formed with a screw neck to receive a correspondingly screw
cap. The vessel is supported at base in a metal stand, and there is a metal neck ring
over and surrounding the neck through which a ring handle is passed for carrying
the article. The neck and base are connected by wires bent or curved to correspond
with the shape of the vessel, and these wires are at each end bent hook shaped and
inserted into apertures formed in the neck and base pieces.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will further describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is an elevation of this miniature lantern vessel perfume holder, constructed
and arranged according to my invention.
Figure 2 shows the lantern proper or vessel for holding the perfume detached,
Figure 3 shows the top cap detached ;
Figure 4 shows the neck ring or collar and handle detached.
Figure 5 shows two of the curved wire guards detached, and
Figure 6 shows the metal base or stand also detached.
Thus it will be seen that all the parts can be removed from the perfume holder
(Figure 2) and put on to the holder with the greatest facility and as shown at Figure 1,
whereby obtain an article which while being ornamental is at the same time useful
can be carried with facility and the vessel holding the perfume is protected from injury
by breakage from a fall or otherwise. The vessel may have a stopper of cork, or it
may be made with an aperture for delivering the perfume by drops or in other ways.
Although for the purposes of my invention I prefer to make the fittings removable,
at pleasure from the vessel yet they may be fixed if desired.
The shape of the vessel may be varied as fancy or taste may dictate; the lantern
form which I have shown is however peculiarly applicable to the invention. When
the form of the vessel is changed the shape of the fittings should correspondingly
vary.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
First: In or connected with bottles for holding perfume the stand and neck pieces

page_text: with ring handle holder, passing through the neck piece, the latter and the stand being
connected together by wire connections, bent at the ends, the fittings being removable
if desired and when required from the vessel all substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described and illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Second The miniature lantern perfume holder provided with fittings outside and
around same whether removable therefrom or not substantially as and for the
set forth.
