I, WILLIAM LORD BALLIN HINDE, of Metropolitan Works, Bromsgrove Street,
in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to attachments for stoppers of hair-wash, and like bottles
and vessels the object being to produce a distributing cap, provided with a brush,
sponge or other suitable material, that shall be capable of attachment to the
ordinary stopper secured within the neck of the bottle for the purpose of distribut-
ing or applying the hair-wash or other liquid contained therein.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my brush or sponge attach-
ment in the form of a cap having a central receptacle for fitting to the projecting
portion or sprinkling cap of the ordinary bottle stopper; the exterior of the cap
I make of a suitable form for manipulating by hand, while the extreme end I
provide with a brush, sponge, or other absorbent material on to which the liquid
from within the bottle may pass through a hole or holes within the ordinary
stopper and through ports or channels formed within the cap.
I make the stem or handle portion of the brush to fit tightly on to the pro-
jecting head of the ordinary stopper by means of a hole which may be conically
bored within the cap, or when desired I may place a rubber, cork or other like
ring or band within the central portion of the cap, for making a close contact
with the projecting head of the ordinary stopper bottle. Instead of making a
clipping attachment or a plain surface attachment of the cap to the bottle head
I sometimes screw the brush or distributing cap to the projecting portion of the
stopper.
I modify the form of the brush attachment together with the nature of the
interior surface of the holder to suit the form of a stopper or cork, head or
projection employed or in use upon the bottle or vessel to which my improved
independent brush attachment or liquid distributor is to be applied. The exterior
form of my cap I also modify to suit the shape or finish of the bottle or vessel;
or to produce a convenient manipulating handle for the brush.

page_text: invention 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 attachments for stoppers of hair-wash, and like bottles
and vessels the object being to produce a distributing cap, provided with a brush
sponge or other suitable material that shall be capable of attachment to the
ordinary stoppers secured within the neck of the bottle for the purpose of distribut-
ing or applying the hair wash or other liquid contained therein,
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my brush or sponge attach-
ment in the form of a cap A having a central receptacle for fitting to the pro-
jecting portion or sprinkling cap B of the ordinary bottle stopper D; the exterior
of the cap I make of a suitable form for manipulating by hand, while the extreme
end I provide with a brush C, sponge, or other absorbent material on to which
the liquid from within the bottle may pass through a hole or holes & within the
ordinary stopper D) and through ports or channels b formed within the cap.
I make the stem or handle portion of the brush to fit tightly on to the pro-
jecting head B of the ordinary stopper by means of a hole a which may be
conically bored within the cap, or when desired I may place a rubber, cork or
other like ring or band within the central portion of the cap, for making a
close contact with the projecting head of the ordinary stopper of the bottle.
Instead of making a clipping attachment or a plain surface attachment of the
cap to the bottle head I sometimes screw the brush or distributing cap to the
projecting portion of the stopper.
When it is desired to distribute the liquid direct from the bottle instead of
upon the fibres of the brush or upon the sponge or the like I remove the cap A
and allow the liquid to flow through the apertures or uncovered openings b formed
within the metal portion B of the stopper cork plug D.
I modify the form of the brush attachment together with the nature of the
interior surface of the holder to suit the form of stopper or cork, head or pro-
jection employed or in use upon the bottle or vessel to which my improved inde-
pendent brush attachment or liquid distributor is to be applied. The exterior
form of my cap I also modify to suit the shape or finish of the bottle or vessel;
or to produce a convenient manipulating handle for the brush.
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 is:
1. The combination of a bottle stopper with a liquid distributor substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and as illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings.
2. In a bottle stopper the arrangement of a detachable brush or the like
absorber for use as a distributor of the liquid which passes from the bottle or
vessel through the stopper.
