I DAN RYLANDS of Hope Glass Works, Starfoot, Barnsley in the County of
York, Glass-Bottle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN INTERNALLY STOPPERED BOTTLES to be as follows
-
I form during the process of manufacture a bottle having a neck of a suitable
length, the bottom portion of this neck I press in or contract to such a degree that
whatever internal stopper may be used the said stopper cannot pass from said
neck into body of bottle.
At a suitable distance from the contracted portion of neck of bottle upwards
towards the mouth, I form (by means of my improved arrangements for the manu-
facturing of the same described in Specification N° 348 of 1885) an indent of a
suitable shape for preventing the internal stopper from falling into mouth of bottle
during the process of pouring out the contents thereof, or instead of one indent two
may be used to answer the same purpose In the mouth of my improved bottle
I form an internal female screw, such as described in my Specification N° 12453
of 1884, or portions of screw threads may be formed in mouth having vertical or
other slots cut or formed through them Or the female screw may be divided into
two vertical portions the first portion from the top of mouth downwards may be a
right or left hand thread then an annular space or chamber formed, and the second
portion a left or right hand thread, and the said threads may have vertical or
other slots cut or formed through them as described in my specification N° 15281
of 1884
Whichever kind of female screw may be used I form at bottom of such screw
a ledge or which I place an india-rubber ring or a ring of similar suitable material,
To work in these different internally formed mouths I make hollow cylindrical
screw mouthpieces (which may be made of glass, earthenware, or any other suitable
material) on the outsides of these mouthpieces I form male screw threads or
portions thereof, and in each case I make the hollow screw mouthpiece in form to
suit the particular form of mouth of bottle for which it is intended.

grasp by which means it may be screwed into mouth of bottle or unscrewed by
hand
After any one of the herein described bottles has been made and subsequently
annealed, I place in the neck of said bottle a round glass or other ball or an
internal stopper of any other shape I then place on ledge (which is formed at
bottom of female screw in bottle mouth) a ring of india-rubber or other suitable
elastic substance, after which I screw in by band the hollow cylindrical mouthpiece
until the bottom portion thereof touches and presses on india-rubber ring thus
preparing it for forming an airtight joint when the glass ball or other internal
stopper is forced against said ring
To open bottles thus stoppered it is only necessary to give the hollow screw
mouthpieces a portion of a turn with the hand which by means of their heads or
top parts can be easily performed
I would have it understood that although there are already patented several
ways of stoppering bottles internally by means of hollow screw mouthpieces the
forms of which are as herein described, they have not hitherto been described in
combination with a bottle having a-contracted neck and indent or indents formed
in a suitable place or places in such neck
My present invention therefore is in the application of hollow screw mouthpieces
to bottles having necks so contracted at the bottoms thereof as to prevent the
internal stoppers falling into bodies of bottles, and the formation above such
contracted portions of necks, of indents of suitable shapes for preventing the
internal stoppers falling into mouths of bottles during the process of pouring
out the contents
By refering to the accompanying drawings my invention will be more clearly
understood
Figa 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, are sectional elevations of bottle necks, having their
lower portions A, A, contracted or pressed in so as to prevent the internal stopper B,
from passing from necks C, into bodies D
Fig 7 is a sectional plan on line 2, 2, of fig 5
Fig 8 is a sectional plan on line 3, 3, of fig 6, and fig 9, 18 also a sectional plan
on line 4, 4, of fig 6
Figs 10, and 11, are partly sectional views of bottle necks.
The indents E, figs 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10, are for preventing the stoppers B, from
falling into mouths G, of bottles during the time the contents are being poured out
as shown at fig 10
The indents F, F, figs 2 and 11, are for the same purpose, as shown at fig 11
Refering to fig 1, the mouth G has a female screw H, formed therein at the
'bottom of which is a ledge I, on which is placed the india-rubber ring K, the hollow
mouthpiece L, has a male screw M, formed on outside thereof, which screws into
mouth G, the bottom 3 of mouthpiece G, presses against india-rubber ring I, thus
preparing it for forming an airtight joint when the stopper B, is forced against it
The hollow mouthpiece L, has a head N, so that it can be operated upon by hand
to either screw in or out of mouth G
Refering to fig 2, the threads of male screw M, are made less in thickness than
the threads of female screw H, formed in bottle mouth, thus causing spaces 0, 0,
to be left between such threads.
Refering to fig 3, an air space P, is formed on hollow mouthpiece L
Refering to fig 4, the mouth G has a right-hand female screw H formed therein
at top portion thereof, then an annular space or chamber Q is formed, below which
iš formed a left-hand female screw R, at the bottom of which is the ledge I, The
hollow cylindrical mouthpiece L is made as shown to suit this form of mouth G
Refering to fig 5 and 7, the mouth G, has portions of female screws S, and
vertical slots W, and the mouthpiece L, has portions of male screws U, and vertical
alota T.

page_text: Refering to figs 6, 8, and 9, the mouth G, has formed in top portion thereof
portions of right-hand female screws H, and vertical slots W, and an annular space
or chamber Q, below which is formed the portions of left-hand female screws R, and
vertical slots Y
The hollow stopper L, is made with portions of right-hand male screws M, and
vertical slots T, also left-hand portions of male screws Z, and vertical slota X, to
suit this form of mouth as will be well understood.
Refering to fig 10, the bottle is shown in position it is held during the time of
pouring out its contents, when the indent E, prevents the stopper B falling into
mouth G

I, DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot, Barnsley in the county of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN INTERNALLY STOPPERED BOTTLES FOR SECURING THE MORE
EASY OPENING AND EMPTYING OF SUCH BOTTLES and in what manner the same
18 to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement
-
I form during the process of manufacture a bottle having a neck of a suitable
length, the bottom portion of this neck I press in or contract to such a degree
that whatever internal stopper may be used the said stopper cannot pass from said
neck into body of bottle At a suitable distance from the contracted portion of
neck of bottle upwards towards the mouth I form (by means of my improved
arrangements for the manufacturing of the same described in Specification No 348
of 1885) an indent of a suitable shape for preventing the internal stopper falling
into mouth of bottle during the process of pouring out the contents thereof, or
instead of one indent two or more may be used to answer the same purpose
In the mouth of my improved bottle I form an internal female screw, such as
described in my Specification No 12453 of 1884, or portions of screw threads may
be formed in mouth having vertical or other slots cut or formed through them, or
the female screw may be divided in two vertical portions, the first portion from the
top of mouth downwards may be a right or left hand thread, then an annular spice
or chamber formed, and the second portion a left or right hand thread, and the
said threads may have vertical or other slots cut or formed through them
Whichever kind of female screw may be used, I form at bottom of such screw a
ledge on which I place an india rubber ring or a ring of similar suitabe material
To work in these different internally formed mouths I make hollow cylindrical
screw mouthpieces (which may be made of glass, earthenware, or any other suitable
material), on the outsides of these mouthpieces I form male screw threads or
portions thereof, and in each case I make the hollow screw mouthpiece in form to
suit the particular form of mouth of bottle for which it is intended Each hollow
cylindrical mouthpiece has a head or top part for the hand to grasp by which
means it may be screwed into mouth of bottle or unscrewed by hand. After any
one of the herein-described bottles has been made and subsequently annealed,
I place in the neck of said bottle a round glass or other ball, or an internal stopper
of any other shape I then place on ledge (which is formed at bottom of female
screw in bottle mouth) a ring of india-rubber or other suitable elastic substance
after which I screw in by hand the hollow cylindrical mouthpiece until the bottom
portion thereof touches and presses on india rubber ring thus preparing it for
forming an airtight joint when the glass ball or other internal stopper is forced
against said ring

page_text: Referring to Fig 7, the neck C of bottle is shown in position it is held during
the time the contents thereof are being poured out, in which position the indent F
prevents the stopper B falling into mouth G
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 18'.
