Improvements in Bottles.
I, JAMES HILLS HARTRIDGE of 2 Perren Street, Ryland Road in the County
of Middlesex, Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows
-
My invention relates to improvements in bottles and particularly to small bottles
such as are used for powders and the like, as for instance for tooth powder where a
small quantity only is required at a time. To enable this small quantity to be
taken and, in the case of tooth powders, to prevent the necessity of dipping the
brush into the contents, or in the other event losing a considerable quantity of same
in pouring on to the brush, I form in the usual glass or other stopper or cork an
opening or passage preferably funnel shaped which is closed by a small supplemental
stopper cork or plug the main stopper being held in the bottle by a cover, band,
or the like, or by forming a tongue on same which will pass down a groove in the
neck and engage with a shoulder on the bottle when turned, or in similar ways or
the main stoppered opening may be at the bottom of the bottle the small supple-
mental opening and stopper being placed at some convenient point.
Dated this 17th day of February 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles.
I, JAMES HILLS HARTRIDGE of 2 Perren Street, Ryland Road, in the County
of Middlesex, Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 improvements in bottles and particularly to small bottles
such as are used for powders and the like, as for instance for tooth powder where a
small quantity only is required at a time. To enable this small quantity to be
taken and, in the case of tooth powders, to prevent the necessity of dipping the
brush into the contents, or in the other event losing a considerable quantity of same
in pouring it on to the brush, I form in the usual glass or other stopper or cork an
opening or passage preferably funnel shaped, which is closed by a small supplemental
stopper, cork, or plug.
To clearly explain the nature of my invention reference is made to the accom-
panying drawing which shows a bottle made in accordance with my invention, and
in which a represents a bottle closed by stopper having a passage therein in
which is inserted the supplemental stopper d of glass, earthenware, or the like.
1
The main stopper may be held in the bottle if desired by a cover, band, string,
wire, or the like, or by forming a tongue on same which will pass down a groove in
the neck, and engage with a shoulder on the bottle when turned on in other ways
which will hold said stopper when the supplemental stopper d only is required to
be used.
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 :-
A bottle having in the stonner or closing device thereof a supplemental opening

drawing.
Dated this 17th day of November 1891.
