SAMUEL ELIJAH CULVER of 2 Rydon Crescent St John Street Road, Clerkenwell.
Manufacturer of Smelling Bottles do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
MOUNTING BOTTLES AND OTHER ARTICLES and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
A mount or cap of any description or shape fitted with a band or lining having
affixed thereunto or formed either in the mount or lining a nib or projection and
as part of the same invention a neck or collar made with a slot, groove or channel
D

page_text: at the sides thereof and a groove or channel running between the slots This neck
or collar is the part upon which the mount is fixed when on the bottle or other
article, and it may be made separately to attach to the article, or the neck of the
article itself may be fashioned in like manner.
The object is to secure the mount by the process of simply slipping it over the
neck and giving a slight twist, and this is accomplished by the nibs in the mount
being passed over the corresponding slots in the neck and turned into the groove.
This will be more readily understood by reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1. shews the outline of a mount with a lining or band inserted in the mouth
thereof, and having the nibs affixed thereunto. The letter A is the lining, B the
nibs and C the sides of the mount. The lining is soldered or in some other manner
firmly fixed into the mouth of the mount. Or I may affix the nibs to the sides of
the mount, without a lining, when the mount itself is of sufficient strength.
Fig. 2 shews the relative position of the nibs one to the other in the mouth of
the mount. These nibs may be soldered in or moulded or stamped in the material
of which the lining or mount is made.
Fig. 3 shews the formation of the neck. The letter A is the slot and B the
groove. The slot is formed on each side of the neck and so arranged, that-(the
circumference of the neck and the mouth of the mount being nearly alike),-
the nibs pass over the slots, thence into the grooves. The groove is formed on
each side of the neck between the slots forming a channel running completely
round the neck.
Figure 4 shews sectional view of mount secured on neck. The letters A indicate
the nibs, B the grooves and C the slot. The mount having been passed over the
neck at the points of contact A and C, it is now simply twisted, the nibs A pass
into the grooves B, and catch under the angle of the groove, holding the mount
secure and fast.
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,
1st A mount, or a lining fitted into a mount, having a nib or projection made or
formed therein at the sides being that part which goes over the neck.
2nd A neck or collar constructed with a slot, groove or channel on each side and
a groove or channel running round the neck.
