Improvements Applicable for the Tubes of Infants' Feeding Bottles
or for similar other Purposes.
I, ALBERT ROSLINGTON BUCKTON of Church Street Keighley in the County of
York, Woollen Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows, that is to say :-
It relates to improvements applicable for the tubes of infants' feeding-bottles
whereby the openings through said tubes may be closed or left open as may be
desired, by which means, after the contents of the bottles are finished, the detri-
mental effects to the users incident to the act of air-drawing etc. may be prevented.
This attain by inserting in a suitable position in the tube, preferably close
behind the ivory or bone shield which is mounted upon the teat, an appropriately
formed tap, or stop-cock, which may be opened or closed as may be desired.
This tap is made of any suitable material as glass, wood etc., and is formed by
having a small bead or projecting rim around each outer end of its barrel part
so that the india rubber tube of the feeding bottle may be made to pass over and
lay hold thereof and in this manner be suitably attached thereto.
Taps or stop cocks constructed in the above manner so that india rubber tubing
may be attached thereto, may be used for various other purposes such as for toy
baloons which are inflated or blown-up through a mouth piece to which the tap
may be applied by which means same may be made to retain their inflated position
as long as required.

I; ALBERT ROSLINGTON BUCKTON of Church Street, Keighley in the County of
York, Woollen Merchant, 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, that is to say :-
It relates to improvements applicable for the tubes of infants' feeding-bottles 5
whereby the openings through said tubes may be closed or left open as may be
desired, by which means, after the contents of these said bottles are finished or in
other words after the liquid has been withdrawn therefrom, the detrimental
effects to the users incident to the act of air-drawing etc. may be prevented.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention in order that same may be
more readily understood, I have hereunto appended a sheet of drawings illustrative
thereof to which, by figures and letters, reference is made in the following
description.
Figs. 1 and 2 are side and top views respectively of my improved appliance, while
fig. 3 is a perspective view thereof.
The object of my invention is attained by inserting in a suitable position in the
tube a, preferably close behind the ivory or bone shield which is mounted upon the
teat, an appropriately formed tap or stop-cock d, the moveable plug e in which
may be operated so as to close the opening through said tap das may be
desired.
This tap d is made of any suitable material such as glass, wood, vulcanite,
porcelain, etc. and is formed by having a small bead or projecting rim faround each
of its outer ends so that the india-rubber tube a may be made to pass over and lay
hold thereof and in this manner be suitably attached thereto as will be well
understood.
Although the application of the tap d is shewn only in connection with the tube
of a feeding bottle, yet it will readily be understood how same may be employed for
or blown up
similar other purposes such as for toy balloons which are inflated
through a mouth piece which may be displaced by this tap by which means same
may be made to retain their inflated position as long as required.
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
claim is :
A tap d having a plug e and flanges farranged and formed as herein specified
tube a and parts in combination substantially as and for the purpose se
forth.
