SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Perfume-holder.
I HERMAN TAPPAN of 140 Nassau Street City of New York County and State of
New York United States of America 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 the invention is to provide a new and improved perfume holder which
is simple and durable in construction, prevents breaking of the glass bottle or flask
and leakage of the perfumery and is highly ornamental in appearance.
The invention consists of a base supporting a glass bottle or flask a collar fitted on
the neck of the said bottle or flask and connected by rods with the said base.
The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the
same as will be hereinafter fully described and then pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this
Specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all
the figures.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improvement
Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same, and
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same.
The improved perfume holder A is provided with a base B preferably made of
metal cast in suitable shape and provided with a top opening C into which extends
the bottom D of a bottle or flask E having the usual neck F formed with a thread on
the outside.
A collar G is fitted over the neck and is adapted to rest with its bottom on the
upper part of the bottle or flask proper E as is plainly shown in Figs. 1 and 2 so
that the upper end of the base is about in line with the said collar as is plainly shown
in Fig. 1 the bottle or flask being made spherical so as to give an ornamental
appearance to the holder as shown.
The collar G is connected by curved rods H with the base B in order to hold the
collar the flask or bottle, and base together at the same time forming a guard for
the glass bottle or flask. In order to conveniently fasten each rod H to the base B
and the collar G the ends of each rod are provided with hooks H' and H³ respec-
tively adapted to be sprung into suitable openings in the collar G and the base B as
is plainly shown in Fig. 2.
On the exterior thread of the neck F is adapted to screw a cap I fitted to pass at
its lower end on to the top of the collar G so as to additionally lock the latter in
place. A packing ring J is placed on the inside of the cap I and is adapted to pass
onto the top of the cork or stopper K placed in the neck F. The cap I with its
parking J prevents a leakage, at the same time forming an ornamental head for the
perfume holder. A bal L is secured on the collar G for conveniently supporting the
holder and carrying the same about.
It will be seen that when the bottle or flask E is filled and the cork K and cap I
are in position, the perfumery is not likely to leak and the flask is not liable to be
broken on account of being securely protected by the rods H which serve the double

page_text: purpose of holding the several parts together as well as forming a cage for the glass
bottle or flask.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. A perfume holder comprising a base a glass bottle or flask supported on said
base, a collar fitted onto the neck of said bottle or flask and rods connecting the said
base with the said collar to hold the several parts together substantially as shown and
described.
2. A perfume holder comprising a base, a bottle supported on the said base and
provided with a threaded neck a collar held on the said neck, bent rods connecting
the said collar with the said base and a cap screwing on the said threaded neck against
the said collar substantially as shown and described.
3. A perfume holder comprising a base, a bottle supported on the said base, and
provided with a threaded neck, a collar held on the said neck, bent rods connecting
the said collar with the said base, a cap screwing on the said threaded neck against
the said collar, and a bail held on the said collar for conveniently holding the holder
substantially as shown and described.
4. A perfume holder comprising a base, a bottle supported on the said base and
provided with a threaded neck, a collar held on the said neck, bent rods connecting
the said collar with the said base, a cap screwing on the said threaded neck against
the said collar and a packing ring held in the said cap and adapted to pass over the
cork in the neck of the bottle substantially as shown and described.
