Year: 1885

page_text: I, EDWARD HALL, of 1, Finkin Street, Grantham, in the County of Lincoln,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
INFANTS FEEDING BOTTLES to be as follows:-
My Invention is an Infants Feeding Bottle, made of Glass, China, Metal, or any
suitable substance, it is of circular flat form, about one and three quarters inches
deep, the outer edges being rounded off, The said bottle has a short collar or neck
of circular shape in the centre of the bottle top which forms the opening of the
bottle which receives a cork, stopper, or lid, with suitable elastic to make it fluid
tight, the said opening or neck of the bottle is so formed that the finger with cloth
can reach any part of the inside of the bottle so that it can easily be kept clean.
and sweet, On the upper edge of the bottle is a hollow bead through which passes
an elastic tube into the bottle, when the elastic tube is not required an ordinary
teat can be placed over the said bead an used as and in the place of the bottlo
commonly called the boat bottle.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Infants Feeding Bottles.
I, EDWARD HALL, of 1, Finkin Street, Grantham, in the county of Lincoln,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
INFANTS FEEDING BOTTLES," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-

My invention is an Infants Feeding Bottle, made of Glass, China, Metal, or any
suitable substance, it is of circular flat form, about one inch and three quarters
deep, the outer edges being rounded off, the said bottle has a short collar or neck of

page_text: circular shape in the centre of the bottle top, which forms the opening of the
bottle, which receives a cork, stopper, or lid, with suitable elastic to make it fluid
tight, the said opening or neck of the bottle is so formed that the finger with cloth
can reach any part of the inside of the bottle so that it can easily be kept clean and
sweet, On the upper and outer edge of the bottle is a hollow bead through which
passes an elastic tube into the bottle, when the clastic tube is not required an
ordinary teat can be placed over the said bead and used as, and in the place of the
bottle commonly called the Boat Bottle, the said bend is made to screw into the said
upper and outer edge of the bottle, so that when necessary, the bead and tube can
be withdrawn from the bottle, when the said bead cannot be conveniently used, the
elastic tube may be passed through the said cork, stopper, or lid into the bottle and
the fluid drawn out as through the bead.
This invention will be clearly understood by referring to the figures and letters
on the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, in which Figure 1. is a cross section of
the bottle, Figure 2. is a shaded Drawing of the same shewing the general plan.
Like letters refer to corresponding parts in the two Figures.
A is the bottle which may be made of Glass, China, Metal, or any suitable
substance, it is of circular flat form and being low with wide base cannot easily be
upset and the fluid spilt. The bead B has a worm or screw with a corresponding
worm or screw in the upper and outer edge of the bottle A, and when it is
necessary to wash or clean the elastic tube D and the short glass tube G can easily
be withdrawn, when it is thought unnecessary to use the elastic tube D, the elastic
teat C can be placed over the bead B and used as and in the place of the bottlo
commonly called the Boat Bottle. E is the short collar or neck which receives the
cork, stopper, or lid F, the said cork, stopper, or lid may have a hole through it to
receive the elastic tube D if preferred, instead of passing through the bead B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
First. The circular flat form of the bottle A.
:.Second. The bead B which screws into the upper and outer edge of the bottle A.
Third. The general arrangement of the bottle, being so formed the inside of the
said bottle can be easily washed clean, as the finger with cloth can reach any part
of the inside, this being a special advantage of the said bottle, and having a broad
base cannot casily be upset or the fluid it contains easily spilt.
I wish it to be understood I do not limit myself to any particular cork, stopper,
or lid, as it may be made of Glass, Cork, Metal, or any other suitable substance.
Dated this 12th day of October 1885.
