PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles.
I, JOHN ARNOLD YOUNG, of No. 9, Fleet Street, in the City of London,
Solicitor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in bottles, and consists in forming an
internal groove of peculiar shape in the shoulder, the conformation of which is
altered accordingly, and its object is to provide a perfect sediment catcher.
In carrying my invention into effect, I raise the shoulder until it is in cross
section like an inverted V but the apex is turned inwards towards the neck, and,
preferably, stopping short of it. This shoulder is made hollow, so that the
sediment collecting by gravity in the space next to the old shoulder line will pass
from there into the groove and be practically trapped therein.
The apex of the groove is stopped short of the neck for the purpose of forming
a drip catcher.
Dated this 31st day of October 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles.
1, JOHN ARNOLD YOUNG of No. 9 Fleet Street in the City of London,
Solicitor, 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 improvements in bottles, and consists in forming an
internal groove of peculiar shape in the shoulder, the conformation of which is
altered accordingly, and its object is to provide a perfect sediment catcher.
In carrying my invention into effect I raise the shoulder until it is in cross
section like an inverted V, but the apex is turned inwards towards the neck and
preferably stopping short of it. This shoulder is made hollow so that the sediment,
collecting by gravity in the space next to the old shoulder line will pass from there
into the groove, and be practically trapped therein.
The apex of the groove is stopped short of the neck for the purpose of forming
a drip catcher.
In order that my invention, and the means by which it is to be carried into
practical effect, may be thoroughly understood, I will now describe them in detail,
referring in so doing to the accompanying drawings which are to be taken as part
of this Specification and read therewith.
Figs. 1 and 2 are sections of a bottle made according to my invention; and
illustrate the use and utility thereof.
c is the

sediment caught in the latter. d represents the dripping down the bottle neck
being caught in the second groove e.
I am
aware that it has been heretofore proposed to make a bottle with a
sediment catching groove, and I wish it to be distinctly understood that I make no
general claim to all kinds of grooves, for my invention relates only to the
particular conformation, with its resultant advantages, of the groove illustrated and
described.

page_text: 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:-
:-
A bottle with sediment catching groove of the specified conformation illustrated
and described.
