PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Bottle.
We, REGINALD SEWARD TRUEMAN, Civil Engineer, and JAMES COBDEN
TRUEMAN, Contractor, both of Birchwood Park Road, Swanley, in the County of
Kent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to an improvement in the construction of beer, sauce, and
other bottles, and has for its object to provide means of preventing liquid
escaping down the exterior of the bottle as usually happens with bottles as at present
constructed, after pouring out part of the contents thereof.
For the purpose of our invention we form an annular recess, opening upwards,
round the exterior of the neck of the bottle, preferably near the upper end thereof,
and connect said recess with the interior of the bottle, through one, two, or more
openings, extending through the neck thereof. Thus, should any liquid attempt to run
down the exterior of the bottle, it will be caught in the annular recess, and from
thence will be conveyed, through the opening extending therefrom, back into the
bottle.

near the upper end thereof. The bottom of this recess is connected through holes c
with the interior of the neck of the bottle, so that any liquid caught in said recess
is conveyed back into the bottle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
A bottle having an annular recess formed in the neck thereof and one or more
openings connecting said recess with the interior of the bottle substantially as and
