PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Regulator, applicable to Children's Feeding Bottles.
We, ROBERT GEORGE LAWS, Accountant, and CHARLES LOTINGA, Traveller,
both of Kincraig Street, Roath, Cardiff, in the County of Glamorgan, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to an Improved Regulator applicable to Childrens
Feeding Bottles, which has for its object when attached to the india rubber
tube to regulate or cut off the supply of food between the bottle and the teat or
nipple.
We construct a cylinder of any suitable material with a check at each end and
a plate in the centre with a hole. At one end of the cylinder we fix a nipple piece
by a screw to the cylinder, the said nipple having a passage through so that the
food may travel up. At the top of the cylinder we cement a nipple piece into
the cylinder after bottom piece has been secured by a screw. The bottom piece
turns on the screw so as to close or partially close the passage in the plate in the
cylinder to regulate the flow of material.
It will be understood that the shapes materials and proportions of the parts
with such modifications as found necessary may be varied in many ways within the
Scope of our invention.

statement:-
Our invention relates to an Improved Regulator applicable to Childrens
Feeding Bottles which has for its object when attached to the india rubber
tube to regulate or cut off the supply of food between the bottle and the teat or
nipple.
And in order that our invention may be thoroughly understood, we now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is an elevation of the regulator complete, the dotted lines indicate the
india rubber teat and part of the tube.
Fig. 2, is a section of the mouth piece on which teat is fixed.
Fig. 3, is a section of the cylinder.

page_text: We construct a cylinder c of any suitable material with a check at each end
and a plate a in the centre with a hole b At one end of the cylinder c we fix a
nipple piece d with a stop j by a screw e to the cylinder c, the said nipple having
a passage through so that the food may travel up. At the bottom of the
cylinder c we cement a nipple piece 9 into the cylinder after top piece has been
secured by a screw. The top piece turns on the screw so as to close or partially
close the passage b in the plate a in the cylinder to regulate the flow of material.
In Fig. 7, we construct the top or mouth piece d with a small groove h, the said
groove being of such a length so as to allow a quarter turn or thereabouts. On
the side of the cylinder and bottom piece gl we insert a set pin i which projects
into the groove to hold the top or mouth piece d and the cylinder together. The
cylinder and bottom is formed in one piece.
The regulator may be made in glass, china, earthenware, wood, vulcanite, metal
or any other material.
It will be understood that the shapes materials and proportions of the parts with
such modifications as found necessary may be varied in many ways within the scope
of our invention.
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 :-
1. In a regulator for childrens feeding bottles, the combination of the mouth
piece d cylinder c plate a with opening 6 screw e and bottom piece g, substantially
as herein described and according to Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, of the accompanying
drawing.
2. In a regulator for childrens feeding bottles, the combination of the top or
mouth piece d groove h set pin with the bottom piece and cylinder g',
