Improvements in or pertaining, to the Closing of Bottles and Jars.
I WILLIAM BENTLEY of 8 & 10 Bath Street City Road Clerkenwell in the county
of Middlesex Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide for and fit with and to bottles and jars of
all appropriate descriptions certain appliances and devices which while they can be
caused duly and properly to close the mouths of the same can also be arranged
to allow of the discharge of the contents of such bottles and jars by sprinkling or as
spray or in suchlike desirable manner whether such contents are solid in the form
of powder or are granulated as dust and the like or are liquid such for example as
scent or are gaseous or otherwise.
To carry out this object I form or fit in any convenient manner on and round the
neck or upper part of the bottle or jar near the mouth thereof two male screw threads
of any desired pitch which may be either right-handed or left-handed as desired.
One of these male screw threads that is to say that one that is nearest to the mouth
of the bottle or jar is made of a certain appropriate diameter while the other of these
male screw threads that is to say that one that is farthest from the mouth of the
bottle or jar is made of a certain greater appropriate diameter whereby a certain
shoulder will be created on and round the neck or upper part of the bottle or
jar between these two male screw threads.
I also make a suitable cap of metal or wood or other appropriate material in
the walls of which cap is made a complementary female screw thread which can
be engaged on and over the male screw thread of the smaller diameter nearest
the mouth of the bottle or jar and through the top of this cap are made a
desired number of small or other holes or perforations or are fitted a desired
number of jets or nozzles or other, similar devices.
I also make another suitable cap of metal or wood or other appropriate material
and of sufficient dimensions to allow the same to be passed over the aforesaid cap
in the walls of which larger cap is likewise made a complementary female screw
thread which can be engaged on and over the male screw thread of the larger
diameter farthest from the mouth of the bottle or jar and the top of this cap is
solid.
Therefore the smaller cap can be screwed down on the mouth of the bottle or jar
and the larger cap being passed thereover can likewise be screwed down thereupon
when the bottle or jar is duly and properly closed. The larger cap can then be
unscrewed and removed off the inner and smaller cap when the contents of such
bottle or jar can be discharged therefrom through the perforations or other devices
in the top of this smaller cap as is desired.
Both caps can be made of such strength and can be provided with such ordinary
appliances as will enable them to perform their required functions having regard
more especially to the proposed contents of the bottle or jar and whether such
contents are solid or dry or liquid or gaseous or otherwise.
Although two caps will generally be sufficient for my purpose obviously I can

page_text: when desired correspondingly provide more than two caps of which all the inner ones
may or may not allow the discharge of the contents of the bottle or jar in the same or
in different quantities and proportions and styles.

I WILLIAM BENTLEY of 8 & 10 Bath Street City Road Clerkenwell in the county
of Middlesex 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 :-
The object of this my invention is to provide for and to fit with and to bottles and
jars of all appropriate descriptions certain appliances and devices which while they can
be caused duly and properly to close the mouths of the same can also be arranged to
allow of the discharge of the contents of such bottles and jars by sprinkling or as
spray or in suchlike desirable and finely divided manner and condition whether such
contents are solid in the form of powder or are granulated as dust and the like or
are liquid such for example as scent or are gaseous or otherwise.
In order the more clearly to explain this my invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed I refer to the accompanying drawing wherein I have shewn
a very common style and form of bottle as constructed for and provided with my
invention and Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of part of this bottle when covered
and closed and Figure 2 is an elevation of the same when unclosed and uncovered.
On and round the neck or upper part A of the bottle B near the mouth thereof
are formed or fitted in any convenient and usual or other manner two male screw
threads D and E of any desired pitch and sectionally of any desired style and shape
which threads may be either right-handed or left-handed as may be preferred in each
case. One of these male screw threads D and E that is to say that thread D that is
the nearer to the mouth of the bottle B is made of a certain appropriate diameter
while the other of these male screw threads D and E that is to say that thread E
that is the farther from the mouth of the bottle B is made of a certain greater
appropriate diameter whereby a certain shoulder will be created on and round the
neck or upper part A of the bottle B between these two male screw threads D
and E.
A suitable cap F is made of metal or wood or other appropriate material and of a
proper corresponding size and shape in the walls of which cap F is made a comple-
mentary female screw thread which can be engaged on and over the male screw
thread D of the smaller diameter nearer the mouth of the bottle B and through the
top of this cap F are made a desired number of small or other holes or perforations H
or when it may be preferred so to do are fitted a desired number of jets or nozzles or
other similar appliances provided with any ordinary and suitable devices.
Another suitable cap K is also made of metal or wood or other appropriate
material and of a proper corresponding size and shape but this cap K is of such
sufficient dimensions as to be capable of being passed quite freely over the cap F
without in any wise engaging the same in the walls of which cap K is likewise made
a complementary female screw thread which can be engaged on and over the male
screw thread E of the larger diameter farther from the mouth of the bottle B and the
top of this cap K is solid.
Therefore the smaller cap F can be screwed down on the mouth of the bottle B

page_text: when the same has been duly filled with the desired contents and the larger cap K
being passed over such cap F can likewise be screwed down on the mouth of the
bottle B when such bottle B is properly and tightly covered and closed. The cap K
can then when desired be unscrewed and removed off the cap F when the contents
of the bottle B cau be discharged therefrom in the desired and arranged for manner
through the holes or perforations H or other appliances in or of the top of this cap F
as is desired.
It is sufficiently obvious but still I would emphasize the fact that instead of making
the two caps F and K simply and solely of sheet metal as is indicated in the drawing
both these caps F and K may be made of any suitable and convenient material and
in all cases can be made of such strength and can be provided with such ordinary
and appropriate appliances as for example washers and the like and can be fitted
and formed in such customary or other manner as will enable them to properly and
efficiently perform their required functions having regard more especially to the
proposed contents of the particular bottle B and whether such contents are solid or
dry or liquid or gaseous or otherwise.
Although I consider that as a general rule two caps so formed and fitted and
arranged as is hereinbefore described will be sufficient for my purpose yet when I
may deem it expedient or desirable so to do I can similarly provide more than two
male screw threads of differing diameters on and round the neck of the bottle and
therefor correspondingly provide more than two caps to be screwed thereon or to be
passed thereover of which caps all the inner ones may or may not as may be preferred
in each case allow the discharge of the contents of the bottle in the same or in
different quantities and proportions and styles which could be effected by making
the holes or perforations or other appliances in or of the tops of these inner caps
of the same or of differing styles and sizes and areas.
In the same manner this my invention would be applied to other kinds of bottles
and to jars of all descriptions and no further explanation is or can be needed.
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:
The arrangement and combination of parts and appliances constituting my
improvements in or pertaining to the closing of bottles and jars substantially as
herein before described and shewn in the accompanying drawing.
