COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bottle for Mucilage and the like.
I, HENRY MACK, of Ulm on the Danube, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany,
Manufacturer, 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 mucilage bottle, in which an inner projection for
striking any surplus of mucilage off the brush is formed by an outer groove
adapted to hold the brush when not in use, and in which, further, the opening for
taking the mucilage out of the bottle by means of the brush is arranged at an
incline, so that the brush when held by the stopper within that opening is in au
oblique position, and is directed to an edge of the bottle, the bottom of the latter
being sloping to that edge, so that the mucilage, glue or colour may be used up
to the last rest.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying drawing,
in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the different views, and in
which:
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the improved bottle and Fig. 2 is a vertical
longitudinal section.
In both views the brush is represented in its working position.
The upper portion a² of bottle a possesses two elevations a² a³ forming between
them a groove & for the reception of the brush c, when out of use. The brush is
constantly connected with the stopper d, the position of which in the opening of
the inclined front-wall a' is such a one that the shaft of the brush extends shortly
below the inner edge or bottom 6¹ of groove b.
If the brush is taken out of bottle a, the bristles which carry the mucilage, glue
or colour with them strike said edge b', so that every surplus of the adhesive or
colouring material is removed by that edge from the bristles.
A small groove as is provided in front of the inclined wall a², or of the opening
in that wall respectively, for the purpose of taking up any mucilage or the like,
that perhaps may flow down from said opening.
The
The bottom a of the bottle is sloping from the front to the rear, the inclination
of the front-wall at to the lowest portion of said bottom being such, that the brush
extends directly to said lowest part, as distinctly to be seen in Fig. 2.
mucilage, glue, colour or other stuff may, thus, be wholly used up, without
necessitating an alteration in the position of the bottle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An improved bottle for mucilage, liquid glue, liquid colour and the like,
having an inner projection adapted to strike a surplus of stuff off the brush,
substantially as described.
2. Au improved bottle for mucilage, liquid glue, liquid colour and the like,
having an inner projection formed by a groove adapted to hold the brush when
out of use, the inner edge of said projection being adapted to strike a surplus
of stuff off the brush, substantially as described.
3. An improved bottle for mucilage, liquid glue, liquid colour and the like,
having an inner hollow projection formed by two outer hollow projections, one of
the latter having the opening for the bottle, substantially as described.

having an inner hollow projection formed by two outer hollow projections, one of
the latter having the opening for the bottle in an inclined position, substantially as
described.
