nature of this avention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of-Firstly-A metallic band, "preferably brass" fitting
round the neck of the bottle like a "collar," open at the front with flanges on each
side, by which the collar is held in position by a slide-" Secondly-" The slide
being bent at right angles at the level of the lip of the bottle neck, forms a double
slide; the perpendicular part sliding over the flanges of the collar, thereby holding
it in position; the other part of the slide being horizontal at the lip of the bottle
neck, in which, ie, (part of slide) runs another slide which is flat, and so cut out in
its centre, as to allow it to pass over the base of the stopper on each side of its
handle; we term that part of the stopper which is used to lift it out of the bottle,
neck, the handle.
The object of this invention, is to prevent Dispensers of Medicine, inadvertently.

CHARLES SNOWDON, Commercial Traveller 4 Hutton Terrace Jesmond Newcastle
on Tyne do hereby declare the nature of our invention for AN IMPROVED STOPPER
FASTENER FOR POISON BOTTLES and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention consists of-firstly-a metallic band-preferably brass fitting
around the neck of the bottle like a collar marked A open at the front-having
flanges or turned edges forming a slide on each side of the front; the collar is held
in position on the neck of the bottle by means of a frame B, having flanges or turned
edges which fit on the slide of the collar A. The collar consists of two pieces like
two half circles; one piece with part of its horizontal edges turned over forming a
groove in which slides the other piece see expansion collar A-so as to increase or
diminish at will, the circumference of the collar in order to fit different sized bottle
necks.
I.
2ndly The frame B which holds the collar A. in position is bent at ght angles at
the level of the. lip of the bottle neck & so forms a double slide-see expansion, B
the perpendicular part sliding into the grooves of the collar A-thereby holding it
fast on the bottle neck-the other part of the slide being horizontal at the lip of
the bottle in which (i.e. horizontal part of slidé) runs another slide which is flat
see elevation of slide C, & so cut out in its middle see expansion slide C as to allow
it to pass over the base of the stopper-on each side of its handle-thus holding it
fast, we use the term handle to that part of the stopper which is used to lift it out
of bottle neck.
:
The object of this invention is to prevent dispensers of medicine inadvertently
using or dispensing poisons.
.
- Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1st. The manner by which the collar A is made to slide in order to fit different
sized bottle necks.
2dly. The manner in which the collar A is secured on the bottle neck by the
frame B-&
3dly. The manner in which the stopper is secured or held in bottle neck by
slide C.
