page_text: We, JOHN. CREASY, of 22, Chapel Court, High Street, Borough, Mechanical
Engineer, and HENRY JECKS DIXON, of 17, Alexandra Road, Commercial Clerk,
both in the County of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved manufacture of bottles adapted to be
closed by screw. stoppers made of glass, porcelain or like material.
In carrying out our invention instead of forming the interior of the bottle neck
with a screw thread we provide the interior of the neck with a number of project-
ing studs formed of hard wood or other material, against which the glass of the
stopper will not grind. These studs are introduced into holes or recesses formed
in the bottle neck and are arranged around the interior of the neck in a line to
correspond with the pitch of the screw thread on the stopper so that they practi-
cally form parts of a screw thread.
With a bottle of this construction we are enabled to make use of a stopper formed
of glass, porcelain or like hard material as the use of wood for the projections or
studs does not cause the glass or porcelain stopper to grind when the stopper is
being screwed into and out of the bottles as would be the case if the studs were
glass. The joint between the bottle and stopper is made as usual by a washer of
india-rubber or other elastic material on the stopper.
Dated the 13th dorz of October 1907
We, JOHN CREASY, of 22, Chapel Court, High Street, Borough, Mechanical
Engineer, and HENRY JECKS DIXON, late of 17, Alexandra Road, but now of No. 6,
Rosemont Mansions, Lithos Road, Commercial Clerk, both in the County of London,
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 follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to an improved manufacture of bottles adapted to be
closed by screw stoppers made of glass, porcelain or like material.
In the accompanying drawin

page_text: Figure a plan; and,
Figure 3 a vertical section of a bottle neck provided with our improvements:
Figure 4 is a vertical section of the bottle neck shewing a screw stopper applied
thereto.
In carrying out our invention, instead of forming the interior of the bottle neck
with a screw thread, we provide the interior of the neck a with one or more pro-
jecting studs formed of hard wood or other material, against which the glass of
the stopper will not grind. These studs are introduced, as shewn in the drawing,
into holes or recesses formed in the bottle neck and are arranged around the
interior of the neck in a line to correspond with the angle of the screw thread on
the stopper e so that they practically form parts of a screw thread.
With a bottle of this construction we are enabled to make use of a stopper formed
of glass, porcelain or like hard material as the use of wood for the projections or
studs does not cause the glass or porcelain stopper c to grind when the stopper
is being screwed into and out of the bottles as would be the case if the studs were
of glass. The joint between the bottle and stopper is made as usual by a washer
of india-rubber or other elastic material on the stopper.
In the drawing we have shewn the bottle neck as being provided with three
studs b, but it will be obvious that this number may be varied according to the
thread on the stopper.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
A bottle adapted to be closed by a screw stopper, having the interior of the neck
thereof provided with studs or projections of suitable material, the said studs being
arranged in a line to correspond with the angle of the screw thread on the stopper,
substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
