I DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot, near Barnsley, in the County of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
་
My present invention relates to Bottles of the class for which Patent No. 3252
of 1882 was granted to Mr. Hiram Codd and myself, in which the use of a valve is
described having a circular disc or head rivetted on to the stem to which an India
rubber washer is attached. My present invention also relates to Letters Patent
No. 348 dated January 10th 1885, where I show a further mode or means of forming
indents in a bottle neck of any required shape and size.
According to my present invention I form the indents of such a shape that a valve
can be fitted in them. The top end of the stem of such valve is square instead of
being round, and the bottom end of it may be screwed so as to be securely fastened
in the said indent where a screw is also formed in such indent. The indent has a
small hole formed or drilled through by either of the plans shown in the two Patents
hereinbefore referred to, and at the bottom end of same is a piece of India rubber or
other suitable material forming an airtight joint. The square end of the stem passes
through a hole in the disc made of any suitable kind of metal, but instead of such
disc being round as in the Patent previously referred to it is of the shape shown in
the accompanying drawing, and the indent in the bottle neck is of a shape similar to
that shown in the said drawing.
After the squaro end of stem has been put through the square hole shown it is
rivetted so that it cannot be again withdrawn; or the end of the stem may be formed
with a slight swell, and the shape of the hole in the oblong disc is so made that the
disc will just pass over this swell, but after the disc has been put on; pressure is
brought laterally against the disc which squeezes it upon the narrower part of stem
and so the disc becomes securely attached to the stem.
I attach the drawings in order to make the Provisional Specification clearer, but I
do not bind myself to the exact details therein shown, it being probable that the same
may be altered without departing from the leading principle.

page_text: Referring to the Drawings, Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of Bottle neck and Fig. 2
a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of a modified form of
improved stem and disc, and Fig. is a front view of the same.
The valve P has a square stems on which the disc R is rivetted. The valve P fits
in an indent formed in the bottle neck N as shown with a hole h formed therethrough.
The disc R may be made in any shape to suit the indent r.
Referring to Figs. 3 and 4 the stems is made with a swell a which is preferrably
oblong as shown but may be square or any other suitable shape. The hole in the disc
is made oblong to suit the swell. The disc is placed on the stems and then turned
round, after which pressure is brought on the disc and stems and the swell & securely
holds the disc R to the stem s, or the stem s may be made separate and screwed into
the valve P.

I DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot near Barnsley, in the County of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the naturo 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 present invention relates to Bottles of the class for which Patent No. 3252 of
1882 was granted to Mr. Hiram Codd and myself in which the use of a valve is
described having a circular disc or head rivetted on to the stem to which an india-
rubber washer is attached. This invention also relates to Lotters Patent No. 348
dated Jany., 10th 1885, where I describe and illustrate a further means of forming
indents in a bottle neck of any required shape and size.
According to my present invention the indent in Bottle neck N figs. 1 and 2 in the
drawings left with the provisional specification is made of such a shape that a valve P
can be fitted therein. The portions of the valve P is preferably made square, but
may be of any other suitable shape; and the portion of valve P which fits into the
indent formed in bottle neck N may be screwed or threaded there being corre-
sponding threads in said indent; or the valve P may be secured in the indent in
any other suitable manner.
At the bottom of the indent is a small hole h which may be formed during
the manufacturing of the Bottle by either the method shown and described in the
Patent granted to Mr. Hiram Codd and myself of No. 3252 of 1882 or the method
shown and described in the patent granted to me No. 348 of 1885. Between the
valve P and the hole h is a piece of india-rubber or other suitable material for
forming an air-tight joint when the valve P is pressed tight thereto.
The parts of valve P passes through a hole formed in the disc R the said disc R
being composed of any suitable kind of metal but instead of the disc R being round
or circular as shown in my Patent No. 348 of 1885 it is preferably of the shape
shown at figs. 2 and 4 of the drawings left with the Provisional Specification.
+
After the Bottle has been manufactured with a suitable indent formed in the neck
having a hole through the bottom thereof, the said hole penetrating through the
neck into the bottle, a piece of rubber or other suitable material is placed thereon
thereby covering up the hole h; the valve P is then screwed or otherwise fastened
or secured therein after which the disc R is fitted on to the portion and rivetted
thereto as shown at figs. 1 and 2 ; or the disc R may have an oblong hole and the
parts of valve P may be oblong as shown at figs. 3 and 4. The oblong hole
formed in the disc R is placed on to the oblong parts of valve P and then turned
round after which suitable pressure is applied on to the swell formed at
end of parts, by which means the disc R is securely attached to the parts of
valve P.
Where preferred the parts of valve P may be made separate and screwed or
otherwise attached to the rest of the valve P as will be well understood,

page_text: When it is required to bermetically seal up the hole h the disc R is pressed in one
direction according to the screwing or tightening up of the valvo P; this compresses
the material thereby forming an air-tight joint.
The bottle may then be filled. To open a bottle fitted with the valve herein before
described the disc R is pressed in the reverse direction to that which screwed or
tightened up the valve ; this releases the material and the pressure from the
bottle escapes between the valve P and outside of indent, by which means the internal
stopper falls.
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 I claim is :
1. In internally stoppered bottles the adaptation of a valve P fitted with a disc R
and screwed or otherwire secured in an indent formed in bottle neck having a hole h
at bottom of such indent and penetrating the neck substantially as herein before
described and shown at figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the drawings left with the Provisional
Specification and for the purpose specified or any mere modification thereof.
Dated this 14th day of October 1887.
