PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method in the Design and Manufacture of
Necks and Stoppers of Bottles or Containers.
I, EDWIN EARNSHAW of No. 8 South Street Finsbury in the County of
Middlesex Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to make the necks and stoppers of bottles or con-
tainers made of glass, earthenware or other materials so as to allow of the escape of
the contents of such bottles or containers without the necessity of removing the
stoppers.
I make the necks of bottles or containers perforated with one or more holes and
I make the stoppers for same hollowed out and perforated so that the hole or holes
shall correspond with the hole or holes in the neck, I also make the stoppers solid
with one or more flutings downwards to the bottom of the stoppers corresponding
with and starting from the top of the hole or holes in the necks so that by simply
turning the stopper the contents of the bottle or container can be allowed to escape
at will.
I make the necks of bottles or containers with a part or parts of the circumference
of the upper part of the neck wanting and I make the stoppers for same hollowed
out and the sides cut away in the lower part in such a manner as to correspond with
the part or parts wanting in the neck of the bottle I also make the stoppers solid
with one or more flutings downwards to the bottom of the stoppers corresponding
with the part or parts wanting in the neck and starting from a point sufficiently
below the top of the neck to effectually close the bottle or container or allow of the
escape of the contents at will.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method in the Design and Manufacture of
Necks and Stoppers of Bottles or Containers.
I, EDWIN EARNSHAW of No. 8 South Street Finsbury E.C. Patentee 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 :—
The object of this invention is to make the necks and stoppers of bottles or con-
tainers made of glass earthenware or other materials so as to allow of the escape of
the contents of such bottles or containers without the necessity of removing the
stoppers.
I make by blowing, moulding pressing grinding or otherwise the necks of bottles
or containers perforated with one or more holes and I make by blowing moulding
pressing grinding or otherwise the stoppers for same hollowed out and perforated so
that the hole or holes shall correspond with the hole or holes in the neck. I also
make by moulding pressing grinding or otherwise the stoppers solid with one or
more flutings downwards to the bottom of the stoppers corresponding with and
starting from the top of the hole or holes in the neck so that by simply turning the
stopper the contents of the bottle or container can be allowed to escape at will.
I make by blowing moulding pressing grinding or otherwise the necks of bottles
or containers with a part or parts of the circumference of the upper part of the neck
wanting and I make by blowing moulding pressing grinding or otherwise the
stoppers for same hollowed out and the sides cut away in the lower part in such a
manner as to correspond with the part or parts wanting in the neck of the bottle or

page_text: container I also make by moulding pressing grinding or otherwise the stoppers solid
with one or more flutings downwards to the bottom of the stoppers corresponding
with the part or parts wanting in the neck and starting from a point sufficiently
below the top of the neck to effectually close the bottle or container or allow of the
escape of the contents at will.
The accompanying illustration is intended only to shew one of many plans of
carrying out the invention.
Figure 1 is a neck of a bottle perforated.
Figure 1 is a stopper for same hollowed out and perforated.
Figure 1B is another form of stopper for same solid with flutings.
Figure 2 is the neck of a bottle with apertures or openings.
Figure 24 is a stopper for same with parts wanting or cut away.
Figure 2B is a stopper also for same solid with flutings.
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
1. A method or arrangement in the design and manufacture of necks and stoppers
of bottles or containers so as to allow the contents of such bottles or containers to
be removed or escape at will without the necessity of removing away the stoppers.
2. The adaptation of such method or arrangement by grinding and perforating or
otherwise altering necks and stoppers of bottles or containers as commonly made so
as to allow the contents of such bottles or containers to be removed or escape at
will without the necessity of removing away the stoppers.
Dated this Fifteenth day of October 1890.
