I, WILLIAM WESLEY LOWREY, of 48, Stuyvesant Place, Borough of Richmond,
State of New York, United States of America, Gentleman, 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 a new article of manufacture which I term a combined
bottle stopper and sprinkler, composed of fibrous and vitreous material all of
which will be fully described hereinafter.
My invention consists of a combined bottle stopper and sprinkler. The female
portion of the article is in this case, composed of cork, having connected therewith
a glass sprinkler and a male portion composed of glass to engage with the female
portion, all of which will be fully pointed out in the claims hereinafter described.
Figure 1 represents an elevational view of my combined stopper and sprinkler
detached from the bottle.
Figure 2 represents a sectional view of the neck and mouth of a bottle showing
my combined stopper and sprinkler in position. The female portion is shown in
section whilst the male portion and sprinkler is shown in elevation.
Figure 3 is also a section of the neck and mouth of a bottle having the female
portion and sprinkler in position and the male portion detached therefrom.
Figure 4 is a plan view of the sprinkler detached.
Figures 5 and 6 are detail views showing modifications of the sprinkler.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings in which A repre-
sents the neck of a bottle having adjusted in the mouth thereof, the combined
stopper and sprinkler composed of the glass male portion B adapted to engage
with the tapering aperture C of the externally tapering shaped female portion D
the latter composed of cork. The lower portion of the aperture C is provided with
the glass sprinkler E which is, in this instance, of a cylindrical shape, provided
with a series of vertically arranged grooves F upon its circumference. The
grooves may however be made slanting as shown in Fig. 6; and they may be
formed in the body of the sprinkler as shown in Fig. 5, instead of upon its
circumference.
MODE OF OPERATION.
When desirous of sprinkling apartments, cloths or the bath, the male portion B
if removed and the bottle held in an inverted position, at the same time imparting
a jerking motion thereto, which will cause the cologne or other liquid contained
in the bottle to depart therefrom in the form of small or fine drops. The quantity
to be thus supplied will depend upon the rapidity of movement.
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:-
mbination of a famele nortion having a σlara Anrinkler

page_text: connected therewith provided with two or more perforations or apertures, and a
glass male portion adapted to engage with said female portion substantially as
shewn and described.
2. In a stopper, the combination of an externally tapering shaped cork or
female portion having a vertically tapering aperture, the glass sprinkler secured
at the base of the latter, said sprinkler provided with a series of vertically arranged
grooves on its circumference and the glass stopper or male portion, substantially
aa shewn and described.
Dated the 14th day of November 1899.
