PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles for Ejecting and Distributing Liquids.
We, ALEXANDER NICOLL, of 219 Thorn Place, Brassfinisher, and WILLIAM
DEWAR, of 166 Perth Road, Engineer, both of Dundee, in the County of
Forfar, N.B. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
The object of this invention is to eject and distribute liquids, in an improved
manner and by means of improved apparatus. Our invention is specially applicable
to oil cruets, and the like; although we do not limit ourselves to such.
In carrying out our invention, we fix a cylinder into the bottle as near to the
top as may be found suitable; the axis of the said cylinder being at right angles
to the axis of the bottle. At one extremity of the cylinder is fixed a nozzle
provided with a small aperture. Within the cylinder is a piston, to which is
attached a piston or push rod, and a spring so adjusted as to always tend to keep
the piston at the innermost end of the cylinder, and therefore protruding the push
rod, from its other extremity. A passage is provided in the cylinder, for the
purpose of permitting air to enter the bottle.
The cylinder is provided with one or more holes immediately in front of the
piston, when it is at its innermost end; which are for the purpose of allowing the
liquid in the bottle to pass into the said cylinder. By pressing the push rod,
the liquid may be forced from thence, and ejected through the aperture in the
nozzle.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles for Ejecting and Distributing Liquids.
We, ALEXANDER NICOLL, of 219 Thorn Place, Brassfinisher, and WILLIAM
DEWAR, of 166 Perth Road, Engineer, both of Dundee, in the County of
Forfar, N.B. 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 :--
The object of this invention is to eject and distribute liquids, in an improved
manner and by means of improved apparatus. Our invention is specially applicable
to oil cruets and the like; although we do not limit ourselves to such.
In order that our invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect we have hereunto appended a sheet of explanatory drawings in the several
figures of which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of
reference.
.
Figure 1. is an elevation of a bottle for containing liquid shewing my invention
applied thereto.
Figures 2. and 3. are respectively sections, through B. B. (Figure 3.) and A. A.
(Figure 2.) of the ejector, said sections being drawn to a larger scale than
Figure 1.
In carrying out our invention, we fix a cylinder 4. into the bottle 5. as near to
the top as may be found suitable; the axis of the said cylinder being preferably
at right angles to the axis of the bottle. At one extremity of the cylinder is fixed
a nozzle 6. provided with a small aperture 7. Within the cylinder is a piston 8, to
which is attached a piston or push rod 9. actuated by a spring 10. so adjusted as to

page_text: always tend to keep the piston at the innermost end of the cylinder, and therefore
protruding the push rod 9. from its other extremity. A passage 11. is provided
in the cylinder for the purpose of permitting air to enter the bottle, when the
ejector is operated.
The cylinder is provided with one or more holes 12. immediately in front of the
piston when it is at its innermost end; which are for the purpose of allowing the
liquid in the bottle to pass into the said cylinder. 13. is a leather valve for closing
the hole 14.
To eject liquid the bottle is turned over until its contents cover the holes 12,
and the piston 8. is pressed forward by means of the push rod 9. The spring 10.
is then allowed to move the piston back to its normal position, thus causing the
valve 13. to close the hole 14, and so creating a partial vacuum in the chamber 15.
Because of the hole 11. allowing air to pass into the bottle, there is a greater
pressure in the said bottle than in the chamber 15, and the liquid will therefore
flow therein. Upon again pressing the push rod the liquid will be forced from
said chamber through the hole 14, and from thence in a fine stream through the
small aperture 7. The ejector is fixed in the bottle by means of the fixed flange 16,
the adjustable flange 17, and the nut 18, the joints being suitably cemented.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In bottles for ejecting and distributing liquids :-
(1) The general arrangement and combination of parts, substantially as and for
the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in Figures 1. 2. and 3. of the
accompanying drawings.
(2) The combination constituting the arrangement and construction of the
ejector, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated
more particularly in Figures 2. and 3.
