Device for Facilitating and Controlling the Pouring of Liquids
from Bottles and like Vessels.
I, JULIUS MAGGI, of Kempthal, Switzerland, Manager, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a device for facilitating the pouring of liquids from
bottles and like vessels without loss of liquid, whilst enabling the outflow of the
liquid to be conveniently interrupted at any instant.
A device for this purpose is illustrated in vertical section in the accompanying
drawing as applied to a bottle. It consists of a tube b adapted to be secured in or
on the bottle (in the example shown it is secured in the mouth of the bottle by
means of a tubular stopper a) and of a tubular piece c which branches off laterally
from the tube b.
The tube b is, by preference, tapered from the branch c towards its outlet end in
the form of a nozzle and also curved or bent to such an extent as to allow of its
imparting a downward direction to the liquid flowing out of the bottle, when
the bottle itself is held horizontally or approximately so, during the pouring
operation.
The tubular piece c is so arranged as to be upwardly directed during pouring and
by preference opens into the wide portion of the tube 6 as in the example shown.
The piece c serves solely for the passage into the bottle of the air necessary to
enable the desired amount of liquid to flow out through the mouth of the tube b.
When it is desired to stop the outflow of the liquid, the mouth of the tubular
piece e is simply stopped by the finger, thereby preventing air from entering the
bottle and consequently arresting the outflow of the liquid through the mouth of
the tube b.
Since the amount of liquid flowing out of the bottle can be accurately regulated,
loss of liquid through pouring out more than is required can to a very large extent
be prevented.
Device for Facilitating and Controlling the Pouring of Liquids

I, JULIUS MAGGI, of Kempthal, Switzerland, Manager, 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 a device for facilitating the pouring of liquids from
bottles and like vessels without loss of liquid, whilst enabling the outflow of the

page_text: liquid to be conveniently interrupted at any instant. A device for this purpose is
illustrated in vertical section in the drawing filed with my Provisional Specification
as applied to a bottle. It consists of a tube b adapted to be secured in or on the
bottle (in the example shown it is secured in the mouth of the bottle by means of a
tubular stopper a) and of a tubular piece c which branches off laterally from the
tube b.
The tube b is tapered from the branch c towards its outlet end in the form of a
nozzle and also curved or bent to such an extent as to allow of its imparting a
downward direction to the liquid flowing out of the bottle, when the bottle itself is
held horizontally or approximately so, during the pouring operation.
The tubular piece c is so arranged as to be upwardly directed during pouring and
opens into a wider portion of the tube b as shown. The piece c serves solely for
the passage into the bottle of the air necessary to enable the desired amount of
liquid to flow out through the narrow mouth of the tube b.
When it is desired to stop the outflow of the liquid, the mouth of the tubular
piece c is simply stopped by the finger, thereby preventing air from entering the
bottle and consequently arresting the outflow of the liquid through the narrow
mouth of the tube b.
Since the amount of liquid flowing out of the bottle can be accurately regulated,
loss of liquid through pouring out more than is required, can to a very large extent,
be prevented.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A device for facilitating and controlling the pouring of liquids from bottles
and like vessels, consisting of a tube adapted to be secured in the mouth of a bottle
or like vessel and having a tapered discharging end to form a nozzle, and a branch
tube for admitting air to the bottle or like vessel to which the said device is applied,
substantially as herein described.
2. An outlet tube for bottles and like vessels, having its upper or outer end
tapered to form a nozzle, and provided with a branch tube for inlet of air at the
beginning of the tapered portion of the tube, substantially as described and
shown.
