PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
"Improved Receptacle for use in connection with Travelling Bags,
Dressing Cases, and the like."
I HERBERT FRANKLAND SMITH, of 210, West Street, in the City of Sheffield,
Manufacturer. do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows―
This invention relates to an improved receptacle for articles and usually carried
in Dressing Cases, Dressing bags and Travelling bags.
It usually consists of a long bottle of glass with a removable cap to close the
open end and is used to hold a tooth brush and a nail brush, and such a bottle is
not only troublesome to clean out but the articles occasionally become jammed fast
and are difficult to release.
I propose to construct the body of glass or other material of a tubular form and
open at both ends,. and. I close both ends thereof with removable caps of metal
or other suitable material of any pattern, or method of fastening, such as by
screw, bayonet catch, hinge, or plain.
When the caps are removed or opened, a cloth can be passed completely through
the body to clean it, and any jamming or wedging of the articles is entirely
avoided.

Improved Receptacle for use in connection with Travelling Bags,

I, HERBERT FRANKLAND SMITII of 210 West Street, in the City of Sheffield,
Manufacture do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same has to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
My invention relates to an improvement in receptacles for small articles usually
carried in Dressing Cases, Travelling bags and the like.
These receptacles which are used to hold toilet requisites such as a tooth brush
and a nail brush, have hitherto been made in the form of a long bottle closed
permanently at one end and stoppered at the other with a removable cap, and
such a bottle is not only troublesome to clean out in the closed end, but the
articles often become jammed inside and are difficult to release.

page_text: My improvement is illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings, and in carry-
ing out my invention, I construct the body A, of glass, celluloid, silver or other
material of a tubular form, which is open at both ends.
Each end is prepared to receive a cap or other form of stopper, the one shown
being the most simple; in this case the glass body A, is reduced in diameter at A³
and made circular to receive a metal cap B, which fits tightly thereon, but I may
fix permanently upon the part A³, a metallic rim with a cap either hinged thereto,
or detachable as desired.
When such caps are removed or opened a cloth or leather can be passed_com-
pletely through the body so as to clean it perfectly, and any jamming or wedging
of the articles is entirely avoided.
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:
An improved receptacle for use in connection with Travelling Bags, Dressing
Cases, and the like, provided with a cap or other stopper at both ends, and having
a passage completely through it, substantially as hereinbefore described and set
forth.
Dated the 28th day of October 1897.
