Receptacles for use in Carrying Milk or other Liquids.
I, DAN RYLANDS, of Shepcote, 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 has for its object the production of a glass vessel which can
be hermetically sealed and yet will allow or admit of the same being carried by
means of a handle and also for producing such vessels with a spout for more easily
pouring out the contents.
According to my present invention I manufacture by means of suitable machinery,
constructed on the system of pressing and blowing or other suitable system, a glass
vessel of any suitable size or shape which glass vessel has formed on the outside of
it a screw or other suitable form. On the top of this glass vessel is a raised rim
for receiving round it an india rubber ring this raised rim being above the screw
formed on the outside of the mouth. I then make a suitable glass cover to fit over
the top of the bottle and resting on the india rubber washer fitting round the raised
rim. I then take a screw cap made of tin or other suitable substance and attached
to this screw cap in any suitable position is a suitable swing handle. When this
cap is screwed or fastened on the top of the glass vessel the swing handle serves to
carry the glass vessel in the same way as the handle of a milk can serves to carry
It will be well understood that I do not limit myself to the screw arrangement
only for securing the handle and the lid in air-tight position but any other suitable
form may be adopted. In some cases it may be preferable to attach the swing
handle to the outside of the hollow glassware underneath a suitable rim formed
thereon. A further improvement which my present invention desires to obtain is
the manufacture of these glass vessels in such a way that the pouring out therefrom
is rendered more easy than out of the round form.
it.
To accomplish this I use in forming the mouth of the glass jar or similar vessel
a plunger which will form a spout on the one side of the mouth of the said hollow
glass ware. Another application of my Patent is by forming a screw on the inside
of the mouth and having a suitable screw form working therein with the handle
attached thereto.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Glass Jars or similar

I DAN RYLANDS of Shepcote 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 has forts object the production of a glass vessel which can be
hermetically sealed ai et will allow or admit of the same being carried by means
r producing such vessels with a spout for more easily
of a handle, and also
pouring out the contents.
According to my rent invention I manufacture by means of suitable machinery
constructed on the em of pressing and blowing or other suitable system a glass

page_text: vessel of any suitable size or shape, which glass vessel has formed on the outside of
it a screw or other suitable form. On the top of this glass vessel is a raised rim
for receiving round it an india rubber ring, this raised rim being above the screw
formed on the outside of the mouth. I then make a suitable glass cover to fit over
the top of the bottle and resting on the india rubber washer fitting round the
raised rim. I then take a screw cap made of tin or other suitable substance and
attached to this screw cap in any suitable position is a suitable swing handle.
When this cap is screwed or fastened on the top of the glass vessel the swing
handle serves to carry the glass vessel in the same way as the handle of a milk can
serves to carry it.
A further improvement in my present invention is the manufacture of these glass
vessels in such a way that the pouring out therefrom is rendered more easy than
out of the round form. To accomplish this I use in forming the mouth of the glass
jar or similar vessel a plunger which will form a spout on the one side of the mouth'
of the said hollow glass ware.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I attach drawings
of which the following is a description.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan view of
a bottle or jar made by the processes of pressing and blowing.
Figs. 4 and 5 are elevations and Fig. 6 a plan view of the plunger employed in
the manufacture of such jar or bottle.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 a is the bottle or jar, the mouth portion b of which
is formed with a screw thread externally; c is an annular rim formed on the upper
portion of the screw thread, d a washer of elastic material such as rubber, e a glass
cap or cover, a threaded annular rim of metal or other suitable material, g g rings
or loops secured to the annular threaded rim f by soldering or other convenient
manner; h the swing handle attached or yoked to the annular rim by the
rings 9 g. Fig. 3 shows at the spout formed for convenience of pouring out the
contents of the jar.
To protect the contents of a bottle or jar after the manner of my invention it is
simply necessary to place the glass cover on the upper surface of the rubber ring,
and cause the glass cap to apply pressure on the rubber ring by means of the
threaded annular rim engaging with the threaded mouth of the bottle or jar.
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 show the formation of a plunger of suitable figure to produce the
spout or lip formed in the interior of the mouth of the bottle, the projection j
forming the spout in the pressing process as will be well understood.
I would point out that I do not limit myself to the screw arrangement only for
securing the handle and the lid in airtight position, but any other suitable form
may be adopted. In some cases the swing handle may be attached to the outside
of the bottle or jar underneath a suitable rim formed thereon.
Another application of my Patent is by forming a screw on the inside of the
mouth and having a suitable screw form working therein with the handle attached
thereto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that at I
claim is :-
