COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Mucilage Bottles or Receptacles.
I, WILLIAM PERCY TURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at
42 West 93rd Street, in the City, County, and State of New York, U.S.A.
Broker, 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 mucilage bottles, and the object thereof is to provide
an improved device of this class, the body portion of which may be of any desired
form, and which is provided with a neck having a removable neck attachment of
novel construction and operation, and through which the mucilage brush is adapted
to be passed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, said drawing being a central vertical section
of my improved mucilage bottle, and the neck attachment therefor.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a mucilage bottle or receptacle A, the
body portion of which may be of any desired form and composed of any desired
material, and said bottle is provided with a neck B, which is substantially of the
usual form; and I also provide a removable funnel-shaped attachment D, the
upper end of which is bell or funnel shaped in form, and the lower end of which
is provided with a depending tube d, which is slightly contracted inwardly and
downwardly and which projects into the body portion or reservoir of the bottle or
receptacle.
The neck attachment is provided at the lower end of the funnel shaped portion
thereof with an annular Hange or rim G, which is secured thereon or connected
therewith, in any desired manner, and said annular flange or rim G, is provided
with a depending rim g, which is adapted to enclose the upper end of the neck B,
and at a predetermined distance below the annular flange G, is another flange H,
which is also secured to, or formed on the tubular extension of the attachment and
between the flanges or rims G, and H, is placed a packing ring K, of cork or
similar material.
It will be understood that this attachment is adapted to accompany each bottle,
and that originally the neck B, may be closed by an ordinary plug or stopper, and
when it is desired to use the bottle of mucilage, the plug or stopper is removed and
my attachment placed therein. The brush is inserted through the funnel shaped
attachment and into the mucilage in the usual manner, and in drawing the same,
the surplus mucilage may be wiped therefrom on the lower end of the tubular
extension of the attachment, and said attachment may be removed and cleaned
whenever desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An attachment for the neck of mucilage bottles and similar receptacles,
consisting of a funnel shaped device having a tubular extension, a flange formed
thereon or secured thereto and provided with a depending rim which is adapted to
enclose the upper end of the neck of the bottle, and another flange secured thereto
or formed thereon, and a packing ring which is placed between said flange
substantially as shown and described.

page_text: 2. The combination with a mucilage bottle, or receptacle, having a neck of the
usual form, of a removable plug or attachment which is funnel shaped in form, and
provided with a tubular extension which is adapted to project into the bottle or
receptacle, said tubular extension being provided with two annular flanges or rims
which are secured thereto or formed thereon, and the upper one of which is
provided with a depending rim which is adapted to enclose the upper end of the
neck of the bottle, substantially as shown and described.
Dated this 12th day of June 1896.
