PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Infants' Feeding Bottles.
I, HENRY RIDLEY MORRIS of 21, Market Hill, Sudbury, in the County of
Suffolk, Chemist and Druggist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in infants feeding bottles, the
object being to improve especially the fittings and render them stronger and less
liable to breakage, and to avoid the numerous joints and pieces at present in use,
thus producing a bottle and fittings simpler in construction, much more easily
cleaned and kept clean, also avoiding the use of any dangerous material such as
glass in any part of the fittings particularly in any part which approaches the
child's mouth.
The tube and stopper fittings for such bottles are composed of a cap or stopper
through which, and made integrally therewith is a tube extending into the bottle
on one side of the cap or stopper and on the other side projecting out a short
distance beyond to receive the remainder of the fittings or mouth piece portion and
tubular connection consisting of the tube and teat in one piece.
This bottle mouth-fitting made of a piece will be of any suitable material such as
vulcanite and the advantage of having the whole cap tube, and tube and teat in not
more than two pieces will be the avoidance of so many joints and overlapping parts
which afford opportunity for breakage and lodginent of sour milk and food.
The making of the cap and inner and outer. tube portion of the fitting is greatly
facilitated by this use of vulcanite celluloid or xylonite.
In the construction of the bottle itself I form three grooves at the top, bottom,
and middle of the bottle to receive rings or cushions of india rubber or other anti-
concussion material.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Infants' Feeding Bottles.
HENRY RIDLEY MORRIS formerly of 21 Market Hill Sudbury, Suffolk
now of 18 Halidon Street Urswick Road Homerton, Chemist & Druggist 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:—
This invention relates to certain improvements in infants feeding bottles, the
object being to improve especially the fittings, & render them stronger, & less
liable to breakage, & to avoid the numerous joints & pieces at present often in use;
thus producing a bottle & fittings simpler in construction, much more easily cleaned
& kept clean, also avoiding the use of any dangerous material (such as glass), in
any part of the fittings, particularly in any part approaching the childs mouth.
The tube & stopper fitting for such bottle is composed of a cap or stopper,
through which, & made or secured of a piece therewith, is a tube extending into the
bottle on one side of the cap or stopper & on the other side extending out a short
distance beyond to receive the remainder of the fittings, or mouthpiece portion, &
tubular connection consisting of the tube & teat in one piece. This bottle mouth-
fitting made of a piece will be of any suitable material such as vulcanite, celluloid,
or xylonite.

page_text: In the formation of the bottle itself, there are to be three grooves round the bottle
at the top, bottom, & middle, to receive rings or cushions of india-rubber, or other
anti-concussion material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The bottle mouth-fitting composed of a cap or stopper & tube is made in one
piece, or secured in one piece.
2. The bottle is provided with rings or cushions of some anti-concussion
material.
3. Being a bottle provided with tubes it yet avoids the many joints and over-
lapping parts usual in such bottles, the whole cap tube, & tube & teat consisting of
not more than two pieces.
