COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Mucilage Bottles.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM RAHMER, of 383 Jerone Street, in the City of
Brooklyn, County of Kings, and State of New York, United States of America,
Inventor, 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 relates to mucilage bottles, and the object thereof is to provide
an improvement in this class of devices, whereby the top or upper portion of the
bottle may be removed, from the body portion thereof, so as to clean the neck or
nozzle without emptying the bottle, and with this and other objects in view, the
invention con-ists in the construction combination and arrangement of parts
hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following Specification of which the
accompanying drawing forms a pait, in which
Fig. 1 represents a central vertical section of my improved mucilage bottle, with
the removable cap and brush detached therefrom.
Fig. 2. a cross section on the line 2-2 and
Fig. 3 a perspective view of the removable cap, with the brush connected
therewith.
In the practice of my invention I provide a bottle A the side walls of which are
provided with vertical corrugations as shown at a and the upper part of the bottle
is provided with a screw thread as shown at a¹.
The bottle A is provided with a removable upper portion B the lower part of
which is the same size as the bottle, as shown at 6, and the upper part of which is
contracted so as to form the neck or nozzle of the bottle as shown at b.
The lower part of the upper portion B is provided with a screw thread, formed
in the inner walls thereof, as shown at 62 and also with an annular shoulder or
bead C, the object of which is to prevent the upper portion B from being screwed
down too far on to the body of the bottle, which would result in breaking away
the screw threads by which the upper portion and the body of the bottle are
united.
The outer walls of the neck of the bottle are also provided with vertical
corrugations E as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the object of these corrugations
together with those formed on the body of the bottle is to provide means whereby
the separate parts may be securely grasped and held when it is desired to separate
the upper portion from the body, of the bottle, or to unite said parts as will be
readily understood.
The removable cap or cover F is shown in Fig. 3 and said cap or cover is
provided with a downwardly depending rim or flange G which is adapted to enclose
the neck or nozzle and said rim or flange is also preferably corrugated as shown
at G and passing through the removable cap or cover F is a haudle H, of the
brush K.
I may also close the neck or nozzle of the bottle with a cork or stopper L
but in use this cork or stopper will be removed, as will be readily understood, aud
only the cap or cover E will be employed.
By means of this construction it will be seen that the upper portion B, may be
removed from the body of the bottle, whenever desired, and the neck thereof may
be cleaned and any dried or caked mucilage may be removed therefrom, as will

page_text: be readily understood, and this can be done without interfering with the mucilage
within the bottle.
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 :
1. A mucilage bottle comprising a body portion and an upper portion, which is
detachably connected therewith said upper portion being contracted to form the
neck or nozzle, substantially as shown and described.
2. A mucilage bottle comprising a body portion, as A the upper part of which is
provided with a screw thread on its outer surface, an upper removable portion
as B, the lower part of which is provided with a screw thread on its inner surface,
and with an annular bead as C, and the upper part of which is contracted, to form
the neck or nozzle substantially as shown and described.
3. A mucilage bottle comprising a body portion as A, the upper part of which is
provided with a screw thread on its outer surface an upper removable portion as B
the lower part of which is provided with a screw thread on its inner surface, and
with an annular bead as C, and the upper part of which is contracted to form the
neck or nozzle, the outer walls of the body portion and of the neck or nozzle,
being provided with vertical corrugations substantially as shown and described.
4. A mucilage bottle comprising a body portion as A the upper part of which is
provided with a screw thread on its outer surface, an upper removable portion
as B the lower part of which is provided with a screw thread on its inner surface
and with an annular bead as C, and the upper part of which is contracted to form
the neck or nozzle, the outer walls of the body portion and of the neck or nozzle
being provided with vertical corrugations and a removable cap or cover provided
with a downwardly depending rim or flange, which is also corrugated, said cap or
cover provided with a brush substantially as shown and described.
