PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Casing for Feeding Bottles.
We, DENNIS JOHN HILL of Norwich, Wholesale Provision Merchant, and
GEORGE HENRY RICHARD RIX of Acle both in the County of Norfolk, Grocer
and Draper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to an improved casing for feeding bottles, and our said
invention consists of a casing or covering for the protection of the bottle and
which covering shall at the same time act as a cosey for retaining the heat of
the milk or food contained by the said bottle.
દ
"
Feeding bottles as at present in use, are extremely liable to become broken by
being dropped or otherwise subjected to undue force, whilst the radiation of heat
from the bottle causes the contents of the same to become rapidly cold.
Our invention consists of a casing preferably made of plaited straw, cane, withes,
papier maché or other substance which is formed in two sections or halves, united
together in any position by a suitable hinge. The bottle is enclosed in the said
case which may be then closed and secured by a suitable fastening. The case may,
if desired, be made to close with a spring, and we do not confine ourselves to any
particular method of securing the same.
The said casing is provided with a lining of wadding, asbestos, wool or other
nonconducting material for the purpose of retaining the heat of the contents.

may be then closed and secured by a catch or other fastening. The case may, if
desired, be made to close with a spring and we do not confine ourselves to any
particular method of securing the same.
The body A of the case shown in the accompanying drawing, is formed of
plaited straw on a metal skeleton or foundation, the neck b being of metal. The
said case is hinged at the lower end at c and is adapted to be secured, when
closed, by means of a hook and stud d as shown.
