PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Olips and Olip Suspenders for Feeding Bottles and
other Articles.
'
I, CHARLES PROVIs, of St. Peters Square, Emsworth, Hampshire, Ironmonger
and Electrician, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A double spring clip of any suitable material made in two pieces, so clamped
or riveted together that the tail part will swivel on the body; the large end (or
body) grips the neck of the feeding bottle and the small end is utilized to grip
the shield of the teat when the bottle of food is stood down and also to hook the
bottle of food to the cradle or cot or to attach it to the perambulator or mail
cart. The tail part is a combined spring and hook so shaped as to be easily
attached to or detached from any bar or upright, without using the thumbnail,
but will not readily become detached of itself, and its swivelling action enables
it to be used for a variety of purposes such as hanging a watch or clock to the
bedrail, attaching a basket to cycle handles or frame, and the like.

Improvements in Clips and Clip Suspenders for Feeding Bottles and
other Articles.
I, CHARLES PROVIS, of St. Peters Square, Emsworth, in the County of Hamp-
shire, Ironmonger and Electrician, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
A double spring clip of any suitable material made in two pieces so clamped
or riveted that the tail part will swivel on the body, the large end (or
body) grips the neck of the feeding bottle and the small end is utilized to grip
the shield of the teat when the bottle of food is stood down and also to hook the
bottle of food to the cradle or cot or to attach it to the perambulator or mail
cart. The tail part is a combined spring and hook so shaped as to be easily
attached to or detached from any bar or upright, without using the thumbnail
but will not readily become detached of itself and its swivelling action enables
it to be used for a variety of purposes such as hanging a watch or clock to the
bedrail attaching a basket to a cycle handle and the like. My clip may be of
any size suited to the various requirements it may fulfil.

page_text: In the accompanying drawings which illustrate this invention:
Figure 1 is a top view of my clip: Figure 2 shows the clip embracing the
neck of a feeding bottle and supporting the tube and teat: Figure 3 is a per-
spective view of the clip supporting a price ticket on a bicycle.
Throughout the figures similar parts are marked by like letters of reference.
Referring to the drawings: C represents the body of the clip 8 R the rivet
and DD the tail part. The jaw D is bent into the form of a hook and the
other jaw D is bent round to bear upon the hook as shown in Fig. 1.
As shown in Figure 2 the body portion of the clip is clasped about the neck
of the nursing bottle and the guard piece below the rubber slipped between
the clamping jaws whereby it is securely held out of the way and in position for
immediate use. It frequently occurs that in feeding infants at night the bottle
becomes misplaced and its contents spilled. To avoid this the bottle may be.
conveniently attached by means of the hook to some portion of the crib.
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 hereinbefore described double clip attachment with hook: the body part
adapted to grasp any object within its scope and the tail part to grip or support
by its hook or loop any other object as may be desired the jaws of the tail part
being fastened to the body part in such a manner as to be moveable in relation
thereto substantially as described.
