An Improved Bottle or Container for Oil or the like for Use by
Anglers.
CHARLES EDWARD CUMMINS, North of England Rod Works, Bishop Auckland,
Fishing Tackle Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
--
My object is to provide a simple, cheap & efficient article for holding oil with
the least possible inconvenience. To carry out my object I take a short length of
tubing of brass or any suitable material & on to one end soldering or fastening
a cap or bottom of the same material as the tubing at the other end I solder
or fasten a screw socket of suitable material & attached to that socket I fasten
at the outside, (but inside the main tube) a piece of tapered or straight tubing
one or two sizes smaller than the main tube or outside tube, but only half the
length of the main tube this prevents the oil or contents of the bottle from
coming out when carried.
The covering or cap of the bottle is made of brass or suitable material & has
a milled edge & is fitted with a screw which fits the screw socket at head of the
main tube and attached to the end of this screw is a short length of brass (or
suitable material) wire of suitable strength & thickness and on to this wire a
small brush is fastened which comes down to the bottom of the bottle inside &
by this means the oil is taken up so that it can be transfered to the fly or article
the user wishes to put the oil on.
On the outside of the bottle and about an inch or so from the top a small brass
wire or any suitable material loop, is fastened to the body of the bottle so as to
enable the user to pass a piece of tape or string through the loop & so attach it
to a button or button hole & so have it ready for immediate use.

Anglers.
I, CHARLES EDWARD CUMMINS, of North of England Rod Works, Bishop Auck-
land, in the County of Durham, Fishing Tackle Maker, 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:-
My invention relates to a bottle or container for oil or the like.

page_text: The improved bottle has been specially devised for the use of anglers with
the objects of providing a simple, cheap and efficient article for holding oil when
required to be carried on the person, and for enabling it to be applied with the
minimum of inconvenience.
In the accompanying drawings, in reference to which I will fully describe
my invention, Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 is a central vertical at right
angles thereto, both showing the components of the bottle or container assembled
together.
The figures are drawn larger than the actual size of the ordinary article
for the sake of clearness.
A is a tube closed at one end by a cap or bottom, and at the other end there
is attached a socket B provided with a flange for fitting the tube A and a
reduced part 6 for receiving a tube C, while its hole 62 extends right through
it and is screwed; thus the hole 62 forms the inlet and outlet of the bottle."
The tube C is of less diameter and length than the tube A and it is secured
to the exterior of the part 6¹ so that it communicates with the hole 62.
D is a cover or cap hitting the hole 62. It is furnished with a milled operating
head or edge d and an extension d¹ that is screwed to correspond with the
thread in the hole b².
E is a small tube fixed to the cap D and it partly encloses and holds a brush e
at its free extremity, the tube being made of sufficient length to permit the
brush reaching to, or nearly to the bottom of the bottle. This tube may be
replaced by a short wire having the brush secured to it.
Fis a washer interposed between the cap D and tube A so as to ensure tight-
ness at the hole 62.
G is a loop fastened to the tube A, and through it a piece of tape or string
is passed for securing or suspending the bottle to or from a button or other
convenient part of the person.
As will be seen, the bottle is filled by the hole on displacing the cap 1),
and the contents are withdrawn and applied by the brush e on removing
and manipulating the cap D, while the disposition of the tube C minimises or
avoids the possibility of the contents leaking when the bottle is being carried.
The washer F and brush e are respectively of leather and hair or the like,
and the other parts are of brass or other suitable material joined together by
soldering or otherwise appropriately.
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:
The combination of the various parts constituting a complete bottle or con-
tainer for oil or the like, all arranged and adapted for use substantially as herein-
before described in reference to the accompanying drawings.
