Improvements in Internal Stoppered Bottles for Holding Aerated
Liquids and the Like.
I JOHN WILLIAM DOBSON of Oaks Glass Works Barnsley in the County of
York Glass Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be
as follows:-
-
My Invention relates to the class of bottles which are closed by stoppers pressed
upwards from the interior of the bottle and has for its object to provide means
whereby in pouring out the contents of the bottle the stopper is prevented from
falling back into the mouth of the bottle in whatever position the bottle may be
held in pouring According to my Invention I arrange a number preferably four
of projections in the interior of the bottle so relatively arranged or situated with
respect to each other that between no two of them in any case is there a sufficient
space for the stopper to pass at the sides thereof. There may be a recessed part
at the portion beneath these projections for the stopper to drop into and there may
be the usual contraction below this again to prevent the stopper falling to the
bottom of the bottle.

Improvements in Internal Stoppered Bottles for Holding Aerated
Liquids and the like.
I JOHN WILLIAM DOBSON of Oaks Glass Works Barnsley in the County of
York Glass 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 :-
My Invention relates to the class of bottles which are closed by stoppers pressed
upwards from the interior of the bottle and has for its object to provide means

page_text: whereby in pouring out the contents of the bottle the stopper is prevented from
falling back into the mouth of the bottle in whatever position the bottle may be
held in pouring. According to my Invention I arrange a number of projections
(preferably four) in the interior of the hottle so relatively arranged or situated
with respect to each other that between no two of them in any case is there a
sufficient space for the stopper to pass at the sides thereof. There may be a
recessed part at the portion beneath these projections for the stopper to drop into
and there may be the usual contraction below this again to prevent the stopper
falling to the bottom of the bottle.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in elevation a bottle made
according to my Invention and Figure 2 is a transverse section on the line 1. 2
Figure 1. The bottle illustrated has four projections a¹ a² a³ a which extend into
the neck of the bottle and are so situated relatively to each other that the sideway
space between any two of them is not sufficient to allow the stopper to pass
between the projections so that in whatever position the bottle is held in pouring
out the liquid the stopper cannot accidentally return to obstruct the outlet of the
liquid. In the drawing the stopper is shewn as being a ball seating itself against
a washer in the mouth of the bottle to close the bottle and pressed inwards to
release the contents. The circle at 2 in dotted lines shews the stopper in the

space through which it passes in closing or opening the bottle.
that although I have shewn four projections yet that three or other larger number
may be used provided that the sideway space between them is not sufficient to
allow the stopper to pass in pouring out the contents but that the central opening
between them is sufficient to allow the stopper to pass in opening and closing the
bottle. The bottle formed as described admits of being readily cleaned with a
brush or other cleaner and allows of a passage of the air tube of any ordinary
filling machine without jamming or injury to the bottle or the tube.
I do not use or claim arrangements such as are expressed to be claimed under
Abraham Pullans Patent No. 4565 dated 25th September 1882.
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
1 claim is,
In internal stoppered bottles for holding aerated waters or the like three four or
more projections extending into the neck of the bottle in such manner as to
retain the stopper in position during pouring out the contents of the bottle in
whatever position the bottle may be held during pouring substantially as and for
the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
