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 invention relates to improvements in Bottles for containing aerated or gaseous
liquids whereby the release of the contents is facilitated and in such manner that a
portion of the gaseous liquid may be obtained from the Bottle at will without loss
of gas from the remaining contents, which are kept in a gaseous condition for
future use.
I attain these objects by means of the bereinafter described arrangements,
drawings of which I annex in order that the principle of my invention may be better
understood.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of improved bottle and Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are sectional
elevations of modifications of same.
In Fig. 1 the Bottle B has a mouth M with an internal stopper S. At the bottom
of Bottle B is a screwed indent A through which is a hole h. A hollow plug P
having a square or other bead o is screwed into the said indent A, and by means of a
rubber washer w and a tin washer, the hole h can be opened or sealed by turning
either the plug P or Bottle B in one direction or the other. The plug P is prevente:
being entirely unscrewed or withdrawn from the Bottle B by means of the piece of
block tin or solder z. After the vessel B has been filled with aerated water or gaseou:
liquid it is placed on a counter or shelf which has a hole through it to suit the square
or other shaped head o of the plug P. When it is required to withdraw the liquid
from the Bottle B a glass or other receptacle is placed under the before-mentioned
shelf or counter, then the bottle B is turned or twisted, by which means the plug P is
unscrewed and the liquid escapes or flows through the hole and out of the hollow
plug P. The top portion of the hollow plug P has preferrably a cross-cut or groove g
of any suitable shape and size.
At Fig. 2 the Bottle B has no mouth and is filled with aerated or other gaseous
iquid through the hollow plug P. In this Bottle the rubber washer w and tin

page_text: washer are secured in any suitable way to the plug P so that when the plug is
unscrewed and the liquid is forced through the hollow plug P into the Bottle B, the
said washers and cannot pass over the hole h. When it is required to withdraw
any or all of the liquid from the Bottle B shown at Fig. 2 the plug P is unscrewed,
and the liquid flows through the hole and out of the hollow plug P.
At Fig. 3 the hollow plug P is screwed into an indent A formed in the lower part
of the side of the Bottle B, and is made in form shown. This Bottle B has a mouth M
and internal stopper S and is filled in the ordinary way. When it is required to
withdraw any or all of the contents of the Bottle B shown at Fig. 3 a glass is placed
under the plug P and the said plug is twisted or unscrewed, when the liquid flows
through the hole h and out of the hollow plug P.
At Fig. 4 the Bottle B has a mouth M and stopper S. The indent A is formed
near the mouth M and the plug Pis made in form shown. This Bottle B is also filled
in the ordinary manner, and its contents may be withdrawn by means of unscrewing
the plug P.
The plug P in each of my herein before described improved Bottles cannot be
entirely withdrawn or unscrewed from the indent A.
Where so preferred Figs. 1 and 3 may have a cap or capsule made of any suitable
material placed over the month M for the purpose of protecting the Stopper S from
the atmospheric or other external pressure.

Improvements in Bottles for Containing Aerated or Gaseous Liquids.
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 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 improvements in Bottles for containing aerated or gaseous
liquids whereby the release of the contents is facilitated, and in such manner that a
portion of the gaseous liquid may be obtained from the Bottle at will without loss
of gas from the remaining contents which are kept in a gaseous condition for
future use.
Bottles made according to my present invention are constructed in the manner
illustrated in the drawings left with my Provisional Specification, of which drawings
the following is a description.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved bottle, and Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are
sectional elevations of modified forms of my improved Bottle. The same letters
designate similar parts throughout the several sections.
Referring to Fig. 1, the Bottle B has a mouth M and an internal stopper S. At
the bottom of the Bottle B an indent A is formed having a suitable screw thread
made therein. Through the upper part of the indent A is a hole h which penetrates
the bottom of the bottle B. To screw into the indent A I form a hollow plug P.
made of glass, earthenware, or any other suitable material. The plug P has a male
thread formed on its exterior periphery which corresponds to the female thread
formed in the indent A. The plug P has a square or other shaped head o by which
it is screwed into the indent A.
Previous to the plug P being thus screwed into the indent A a rubber washer w
and a tin washer are placed in position shown in the indent A, and the rubber
washer is immediately under the hole h. The plug P is then screwed in a sufficient
distance, after which a piece of block tin or other similar substance z is fitted or
pressed into position shown; by this means the plug P cannot be unscrewed entirely
or taken out of the indent A, and is only permitted to be screwed backwards and
forwards to suit the opening and closing of the .hole h. The top portion of hollow
plug P is formed with a crosscut or groove g which is made of any suitable shape
and size. After the vessel or Bottle B has been filled through the mouth M (in
the manner usual to the filling of internally stoppered bottles) with aerated water or
other gaseous liquid, it is preferrably placed on a counter or shelf which has a
square or other hole formed through it to suit the head o of plug P, the said plug P
fitting into said hole. Then when it is required to withdraw any quantity of the
liquid which is in the Bottle B, a glass tumbler or other receptacle is placed under

page_text: he hereinbefore described shelf or counter, and the bottle B is turned in the direction
which gives an unscrewing movement to the plug P; this releases the rubber w from
the hole and the gaseous liquid flows or is forced through the said hole along
the groovey and down out of the hollow plug P, and falls into the glass or other
receptacle. When a necessary quantity has been thus withdrawn the bottle B is
turned in a direction which screws up the stopper or plug P and causes the tin
washer to press the washer w tight up over the hole thus hermetically sealing
said hole h. By this means the remaining contents within the Bottle retain their fair
share of the gas wherewith they were charged, and the said remaining contents or
any portion thereof may be subsequently withdrawn at will in the manner before
described.
Referring to Fig. 2. the bottle B is formed without a mouth M, and is filled with
aerated or other gaseous liquid through the hollow plug P. When my improved
Bottles are constructed in this manner the rubber washer w and tin washer 2 are
secured or fastened to the top of hollow plug P either by means of suitable cement
or in any other suitable way so that when the plug is partially unscrewed and the
liquid is forced through the hollow plug into the Bottle the washers w and cannot
pass over the hole or close up the same, so that when filling the Bottle with gaseous
liquid the said liquid passes up the hollow plug P through the cross cut or groove g
and through the hole into the Bottle B. When it is required to withdraw any
or all of the liquid contained in the Bottle B the plug P is unscrewed either in
the manner described in reference to Fig. 1 or in any other way. When the plug P
is thus partially unscrewed the washer we comes clear of the hole h and the liquid
flows out of said hole through the groove g and down the hollow of plug P.
Referring to Fig. the hollow plug P' is screwed into an indent A formed in the
lower part of the side of the Bottle B and is made in form shown. This Bottle has a
mouth M and internal stopper S. In this case it is not necessary to secure the tin
and rubber washers and wo to the top of plug P, as the Bottle is filled in the
ordinary way through the mouth M. The arrangement of hollow plug Pand
indent A is therefore similar to that herein before described and illustrated at Fig. 1,
except the head o is preferrably made in form shown and the hollow portion is bent
down and passes through the head o so that the contents are conducted therefrom
straight down into the receptacle placed thereunder. When it is required to
withdraw any or all of the contents in the Bottle B (Fig. 3), a glass or other
receptacle is placed under the plug P and the head o is turned to partially unscrew
the plug P from indent A. This releases the rubber washer which covers the
hole h, and the gaseous liquid flows through said hole along the groove and out of
hollow portion of plug P into the glass or other receptacle. After the needed
quantity of contents has passed out of hollow plug into the said receptacle, the stopper
is turned in the reverse direction; this causes the said stopper or plug P to be again
screwed into the indent A by which means the rubber washer we is pressed over the
hole and hermetically seals the same.
Referring to Fig. 4, the Bottle B has a mouth M and stopper S. The indent A is
formed near the mouth M at a suitable inclination as shown, and the plug P is made
with a head o in the form shown to facilitate the partial unscrewing and screwing
of plug P. In all other features the stopper P and indent A are precisely similar to
those shown at Figs. 1 and 3. This Bottle (Fig. 4) is also filled through the
mouth M in the ordinary manner, and all or any portion of its contents may be
withdrawn at will by partially unscrewing or screwing the plug P.
The plug P in connection with my hereinbefore described improved Bottles
cannot be entirely withdrawn or screwed entirely out of the indent A because
the piece of block tin or other substance = fitted in manner described prevents
the same.
Where so preferred the Bottles having mouths M at their tops as shown at
Figs. 1 and may have a suitable cap or capsule placed over each mouth for the
purpose of protecting the said stopper S froin atmospheric or other external pressure,
and dust.

page_text: 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 for containing aerated or other gaseous liquids
the adaption of an indent A and hole h formed in the bottom or side of bottle, and
fitted with a plug P and washers and a substantially as herein described and
illustrated at Figs. 1, 3 and 4 of the drawings left with the Provisional Specification
and for the purpose specified.
2. In bottles for containing aerated or gaseous liquids the adaptation of a plug P
fitted into an indent A which has a hole formed through into the bottle, the said
plug being fitted with a tin washer and rubber washer w for sealing or hermeti-
cally closing said hole h, substantially as described and for the purpose specified
and shown at Fig. 2 of the drawings left with the Provisional Specification.
