Aerated Liquids.
I HIRAM CODD of 41 Gracechurch Street, in the City of London Bottle Manu-
facturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to that class of buttle in which an elastic ring is held
within a groove formed around the interior of the mouth for a ball or other stopper
to fit against. The object of the invention is to provide a ready and cheap means
of securing a distinguishing mark or label to such bottles so that for example a
maker of soda water or other aerated liquid may see whether any bottle belongs
to him or not.
For this purpose I print around the exterior circumference of the elastic: ring of
vulcanized india rubber the desired device or mark with which the bottle is to be
distinguished so that when the ring is inserted into place within the groove in the
mouth of the bottle the device or mark can be seen through the glass of which the
head of the bottle is composed. Or in place of printing the device or mark upon
the exterior circumference of the ring a ring of embossed or printed metal or
material might be placed into the groove in the bottle before the ring of vulcanized
india rubber is inserted into it.

I HIRAM CODD of 41 Gracechurch Street in the City of London Bottle Manu-
facturer 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 that class of bottle in which an elastic ring is held
within a groove formed around the interior of the mouth for a ball or other stopper
to fit against. The object of the invention is to provide a ready and cheap means
of securing a distinguishing mark or label to such bottles so that for example a
maker of soda water or other aerated liquid may see whether any bottle belongs
to him or not.
For this purpose I print around the exterior circumference of the elastic ring of
vulcanized india rubber the desired device or mark with which the bottle is to be
distinguished so that when the ring is inserted into place within the groove in the
mouth of the bottle the device or mark can be seen through the glass of which the
head of the bottle is composed. Or in place of printing the device or mark upon
the exterior circumference of the ring a ring of embossed or printed metal or
material might be placed into the groove in the bottle before the ring of vulcanized
india rubber is inserted into it.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the upper part of a bottle marked in the above
manner. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the ring removed from the groove in
the mouth of the bottle.
Any desired device can be printed around the outer circumference of the ring in
the example shown it is the name of the liquid with which the bottle is to be
filled but as above stated it might be the name of the owner of the bottle or other
mark.
The mark or device is printed on the rings in ordinary ink such as usually
employed when printing on vulcanized india rubber.
When this is dry and the rings have been inserted into their places in the bottles
the printing is not subjected to wear and will remain as a permanent mark in the
bottle.
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 marking bottles used for containing aerated liquids substantially in the
manner herein before described.
