PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or in connection with Treacle-, Jam-, Pickle-,
and the like Bottles, Jars, Pots, or similar Vessels of Glass,
Pottery-ware, or other Material.
I JOHN WILLIAM KILNER of the Firm of John Kilner and Sons of the Calder
Vale Glass Works Wakefield in the County of York Glass Bottle Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention refers to bottles, jars, pots, and similar vessels used for holding
treacle, jam, pickles, and the like, and has for its object to admit of the spoon,
knife or fork used for taking out a portion of the contents being placed or rested in
such a position, that any droppings from the spoon or the like fall into the interior
of the vessel, instead of on to the table or the outside of the vessel.
My invention consists in forming in the upper part of the jar or bottle,
preferably about the lower part of the neck, where such vessel is forined with a
neck, and on the inside, one or more projections, on which the lower end of the
spoon, knife or fork rests; the upper portion or handle being supported by the
opposite side of the neck or rim of the vessel. In the case of glass bottles or jars
such projections are made by moulding the bottle with dents from the outside,
i.e. a corresponding projection (or projections) is formed on the inside of the mould
in which the bottle or jar is blown. In the case of earthen or pottery ware the
projection (or projections) may be formed by making a corresponding dent or dents
from the outside whilst the ware is in a plastic condition; or by dabbing on the
piece or pieces from the inside.
The shape and number of such projection or projections may be varied to suit
the end of the spoon or other article generally used with such bottle or jar.
Further I may have not only one or one set of such projections to support the
spoon, knife or the like above the topmost level of the contents of the bottle or jar,
but may form a second projection or set of projections lower down so as to
support the knife spoon or the like in a more inclined position when the level of
the contents has been somewhat lowered. A projection or projections about the
neck will in most cases be all that can be desired.
It will be evident that my invention may also be applied to basins jugs, pitchers
and the like when used for holding treacle, preserves, honey etc.
Dated this 30th day of August 1894.

the like Bottles, Jars, Pots, or similar Vessels of Glass, Pottery-
ware, or other Material.
I JOHN WILLIAM KILNER of the Firm of John Kilner and Sous of the Calder
Vale Glass Works, Wakefield in the County of York, Glass Bottle Manufacturers
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 refers to bottles, jars, pots, and similar vessels used for holding
treacle, jam, pickles and the like, and has for its object to admit of the spoon, knife
or fork used for taking out a portion of the contents being place or rested in such a
position that any droppings from the spoon or the like fall into the interior of the
vessel, instead of on to the table or the outside of the vessel.
My invention consists in forming in the upper part of the jar or bottle, preferably
about the lower part of the neck (where such vessel is formed with a neck), and on
the inside one or more projections, on which the lower end of the spoon, kuife or
fork rests; the upper portion or handle being supported by the opposite side of the
neck or rim of the vessel. In the case of glass bottles or jar such projections are
made by moulding the bottle with dents from the outside, i.e. a corresponding
projection (or projections) is formed on the inside of the mould in which the bottle
or jar is blown. In the case of earthen or pottery ware the projection (or
projections) may be formed by making a corresponding dent (or dents) from the
outside, whilst the ware is in a plastic condition; or by dabbing on the piece or
pieces from the inside. In the case of tin or other sheet metal vessels, the
projections are best formed by stamping.
The shape and number of such projection or projections may be varied to suit
the end of the spoon or other article generally used with such bottle or jar.
Further I may have, not merely one or one set of such projections to support the
spoon, knife or the like above the topmost level of the contents of the bottle or jar;
but I may form a second projection or set of projections lower down, so as to
support knife, spoon or the like in a more inclined position, when the level of the
contents has been correspondingly lowered. A projection or projections about the
neck will in most cases be all that can be desired.
It will be evident that my invention may also be applied to basins, pitchers, jugs
and the like when intended to be used for holding treacle, preserves, honey,
et-retera.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood, I have annexed
hereto a drawing shewing a wide necked bottle, such as is frequently used for
holding treacle, or preserves or pickles, to which my invention has been applied by
forming two projections a a within the neck; and which drawing shews a spoon
supported by said projections, and the opposite edge of the neck. Fig. 1 is a
vertical section through one of the projections a and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section
on line X X. Fig. 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Treacle-, jam-, pickle-, and the like pots, bottles, jars or similar vessels provided

page_text: with an inside projection or projections formed in the neck or other convenient
part of such vessels substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
