We DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot, near Barnsley, in the County
of York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer, and HENRY FRANCIS BOUGHTON, of Stairfoot
aforesaid, Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
The objects of our present invention are to construct internally stoppered Bottles
with mouths having loose screw parts so that said parts cannot be removed or entirely
unscrewed from the bottles, and to arrange the grooves which receive the vulcanised
or other washers so that the said washers are securely and firmly held therein by
means of the loose parts of the mouths.
To attain these objects the bottles are constructed in the manner hereafter described
and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
Fig. 1. is a sectional elevation of neck of our improved bottle, and Fig. 2. a plan of
loose portion of mouth for the same turned over.
Fig. 3. is a sectional elevation of a modification of our improvements, and Fig. 4.
is a front elevation of the same.
Figs. 5, 6 and 7. are different views also of a modification of our invention,
Fig. 5, being a sectional elevation of mouth of bottle, Fig. 6. a plan of loose part
of the same, and Fig. 7. a plan of top portion of bottle the loose part of mouth being
removed.
The same letters designate similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to Figs. 1. and 2, the mouth of Bottle has a loose portion U which
screws on to portion M made in one with the bottle. A ledge or annular recess / is
formed on the portion M, and a ledge or annular recess is also formed in the loose
part U. These two ledges and when brought together form a V shape groove
which receives the vulcanised or other washer r.
The portion U has a recess or groove g which receives the end of the pin or rivets,
the said rivet or pin s, being secured to a lug or projection p. formed on the bottle
neck.
Referring to Figs. 3 and 4, the pin s, is screwed or otherwise fastened into the neck
of bottle; and the recess g on loose portion U is made in form shown at figure 4.

page_text: In Figs. 5. 6 and 7, the pin s is secured in a gap q. which is formed in the pro-
jection p; the said pin s, is held in the position it is required to be fixed in and then
lead or other substance is poured round it, which when set securely attaches the
pins to the projection p. The loose portion U of mouth has a recess g. made in form
shown at Fig. 6.
The threads t, Figs. 1. 3, and 5, may be of any suitable shape and pitch and may
have where preferred suitable verticle or other slots which may be formed through
either or both the male and female threads.
The pin s. is fixed in position after the loose portion U has been screwed on to the
portion of mouth M so that the said portion M can only be screwed and unscrewed as
far as the pin s. and recess g. will permit.
By means of our hereinbefore described improvements, the loose parts U of mouths
cannot be entirely unscrewed or removed from the portions M, and the vulcanised or
other washers can be firmly and securely held in the grooves by means of the parts M
and U forming V grooves so that during the unscrewing of the portions U the said
washers cannot be forced out of said grooves.

Improvements in Internally Stoppered Bottles.
We DAN RYLANDS of Hope Glass Works Stairfoot near Barnsley in the County
of York Glass Bottle Manufacturer, and HENRY FRANCIS BOUGHTON of Stairfoot,
aforesaid, mechanical engineer 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 objects of this invention are to construct Internally stoppered bottles which have
mouths with loose screw parts so that the said parts cannot be removed or entirely
unscrewed from the bottles, and to arrange the grooves which receive the vulcanised
or other washers so that the said washers are securely and firmly held therein by
means of the loose screw parts of the mouths of bottles.
We attain these objects by constructing the bottle in the manner herein described
and illustrated in the drawings left with our provisional specification of which the
following is a description. Figure I is a sectional elevation of the neck of our
improved bottle and figure 2 a plan of loose screw portion of the mouth turned
over.
Figure 3, is a sectional elevation of a modification of our improvements, and
figure 4, is a front elevation of the same.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 are different views also of a modification of our invention,
Figure 5, being a sectional elevation of bottle mouth, Figure 6 a plan of loose part
of the same and Figure 7. a plan of top portion of bottle having the loose part of
mouth removed.
The same letters designate similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to figures 1 and 2. the mouth of the bottle has a loose portion U which
screws onto the portion M made in one with the bottle. A ledge or annular recess
is formed on the portion M. and a ledge or annular recess is also formed in the
loose part U. The two ledges and one coming at the top the other at the bottom,
when brought together from a V shape groove within the mouth of the bottle, and
the said groove receives the vulcanised or other washer r.
The loose screw portion U of mouth of bottle has a recess or groove g which is
made in length to suit the necessary amount of turn required to be given to the said
loose portion U. A pin S is fixed or secured to the lug P which is formed on the
bottle, and the upper end of said pin S projects into the recess G.
In fitting up the bottle shown at figure 1 and 2 the internal stopper is first placed
into the bottle then the vulcanised ring R is placed on the ledge L, the loose part U
of mouth is then screwed onto portion M after which the pin S is fitted or fixed to
the lng P in manner shown. When it is required to fill the bottle the loose part U
of mouth is screwed tight down, and the bottle may be filled in the ordinary way of
filling internally stoppered bottles with aerated water. To open the bottle so filled
the loose screw part U of mouth is unscrewed the distance the pin S and groove or
recess G will permit, this loosens the vulcanised seating R from the internal stopper

bottle again it is necessary to screw down the loose part U.
Before filling the
Referring to figures 3 and 4 the pin S is screwed or otherwise fastened into the
necks of bottle, and the recess G formed on loose portion U is made as shown at
figure 4. In figures 5, 6, and 7, the pin S is secured in a gap q which is formed in
the projection P; the said pin S is held in the position it is required to be fixed and
then lead or other substance is run around it, which when set securely attaches the
pin S to the projection P.
=
In this case we prefer making the recess (+ formed in loose part U of mouth of the
shape shown at figure 6.
The threads T figures 1, 3 and 5 may be made in any suitable shape and pitch and
may where preferred have suitable vertical or other slots which may be formed through
either or both the male and female threads as will be well understood. The pins S
are fixed in position after the loose parts U have been screwed onto the portion M of
mouths, so that by means of the fixed pins S and part annular grooves or recesses G
the loose screw portions U can only be screwed and unscrewed as far as the said
grooves G will permit.
By means of our hereinbefore described improvements the looso parts U of the
months of bottles cannot be entirely unscrewed or removed from the portions M of the
bottle mouths, and the vulcanised or other washers R can be firmly and securely hold
in the grooves formed by the ledges L and L' so that during the screwing and
unscrewing of the portions U the washers R cannot be forced out of said grooves.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
1. In internally stoppered bottles having loose scrow portions U the adaptation of a
lug P, pin S and recess or groove G together with ledges L and L' for forming a
V groove for the vulcanised or other washer R substantially as described and for the
purpose specified and illustrated at figures 1 and 2 of the drawings accompanying the
provisional specification.
2. In internally stoppered bottles having loose screw parts U the adaptation of a
pin S and recess G substantially as described and shown at figures 3 and 4 of the
drawings left with the provisional specification and for the purpose specified.
3. In internally stoppered bottles having loose screw parts U the adaptation of a
pin S fitted to a lug P working in connection with a recess G substantially as described
and for the purpose specified and shown at figures 5. 6. and 7 of the drawings accom-
panying the provisional specification or any mere modification thereof.
