Improvements in Handles to Jugs, Bottles, and other like Vessels
for Holding Liquors.
* I, SIDNEY WITTMANN, of 47 Great Marlborough Street, W., in the County of
London, " Merchant," do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved mode of constructing a handle in the body
or neck of a jug, bottle, or any other like vessel for holding liquors; and not to
project beyond the circumference of the said body or neck. of the vessel.
7. f
The object of my invention is to form a handle in the belly or narrow neck, or in
any other position, of a jug, bottle or the like, to obviate the necessity of fixing; a
projecting handle to the same, as is now in common use; and to prevent the possi-
bility of the handle being broken off, thereby making the jug or the like useless.
My invention consists of an irregular shaped tube constructed in the belly, or at
any other position in the outer circumference, and passing through the said belly to
form the handle of a jug, for the purpose of inserting the hand or fingers, to obtain a
sufficient grip to support the vessel; this said handle being solid or in itself tubular
permits the liquid to flow inside the handle when the jug is charged with the same.
The advantages of my invention are that the handle does not project beyond the
circumference of the belly or neck of the jug, bottle, or any other like vessel, and is
not so liable to be broken off as the ordinary handle now in common use.
My invention may be constructed of metal, glass, china-ware, porcelain, earthenware,
or of any other material.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Handles to Jugs, Bottles, and other like Vessels
for Holding Liquors.
I, SIDNEY WITTMANN, of 47 Great Marlborough Street, in the County of
London, "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:―
My invention relates to an improved mode of constructing a handle in the body or
neck of a jug, bottle, or any other like vessel for holding liquors, and not to project
beyond the circumference of the said body or neck of the vessel.
The object of my invention is to form a handle in the belly or narrow neck, or in
any other position of a jug, bottle, or the like, to obviate the necessity of fixing a
projecting handle to the same as is now in common use, and to prevent the possibility
of the handle being broken off, thereby making the jug or the like useless.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and figures
marked thereon.
Figure 1, represents a section of the jug C with the tubular handle B and the
opening A to insert the fingers or the hand.
Figure 2, is the side elevation of figure 1.
Figure 3, denotes the back elevation of figure 2 giving a full view of the opening or
division A and the handle B.
Figure 4, represents a section of the jug on line a, b, of figure 1,

page_text: Figure 5, is an elevation of an oil container for a lamp with the collar D fixed at
the top to receive the burner.
Figure 6, denotes an elevation of the side view of the handle and a part of the
container and collar.
Figure 7, represents a section of the handle on line c, d, of figure 5.
My invention consists of an irregular shaped tube B, constructed in the belly C, or
at any other position in the outer circumference, and passing through the said belly to
form the handle B of a jug, for the purpose of inserting the hand or fingers in the
opening A, to obtain a sufficient grip to support the vessel; this said handle B being
solid or in itself tubular as in figure 4, permits the liquid to flow inside the handle
when the jug is charged with the same.
The advantages of my invention are that the handle does not project beyond the
circumference of the belly or neck of the jug, bottle, or any other like vessel, and is
not so liable to be broken off as the ordinary handle now in common use.
My invention can be adapted to any and every description of vessel, constructed of
metal, glass, chinaware, Porcelain, earthenware, or of any other suitable material.
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 I
claim is :-
First The combination of the handle B with the opening or division A for inserting
the fingers, constructed in the body or neck of a jug, bottle, oil container, or any other
like vessel for holding liquors, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawings.
:
Secondly The handle or openings to be of any shape, and constructed to any
description of vessel, manufactured in metal, glass, chinaware, Porcelain, earthenware,
or any other suitable material, substantially as herein described.
