Year: 1876

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Samuel Neville, of Gateshead, in the County of Durham,
Glass Manufacturer, for the Invention of "A NEW MANUFACTURE OF FRAMES
FOR CRUETS, LIQUEUR, PICKLE, AND OTHER BOTTLES."
Sealed the 30th June 1876, and dated the 12th January 1876.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Samuel Neville at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 12th January 1876.
SAMUEL NEVILLE, of Gateshead, in the County of Durham, Glass Manufacturer.
"A NEW MANUFACTURE OF FRAMES FOR CRUETS, LIQUEUR, PICKLE, AND OTHER
BOTTLES."
The object of my Invention is to manufacture frames for cruets or for liqueur,
pickle, or other bottles, which shall be cheap, easy to keep clean, and not liablo
to tarnish from exposure to damp or from liquids being spilled upon them, as is the
case with frames made of plated or other metal.
My Invention consists in making such frames entirely of glass. I proceed as
follows I construct a mould, the interior of which is of the exact form or con-
figuration of the frame to be made. This mould is composed of as many pieces as its
form may require. I bring these pieces together, with the exception of the top
piece (or the bottom piece, as thought best), which forms the stamp. I next fill
the mould with liquid glass or glass in a molten state, and then bring down the
top piece or stamp upon it, when the glass will be forced into every part of the
mould so as to form the cruet or other frame. The mould is then opened, and the
glass frame removed therefrom. This frame is afterwards annealed, and otherwise
treated as may be thought best.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed by
the said Samuel Neville in the Great Seal Patent Office, on the 30th June
1876.

page_text: The object of my Invention is to manufacture frames for cruets or for liqueur,
pickle, or other, bottles, which shall be cheap, casy to keep clean, and not liable to
tarnish from exposure to damp or from liquids being spilled upon them, as is the
case with frames made of plated or other metal.
My Invention consists in making such frames entirely of glass. I proceed as
follows: I construct a mould, the interior of which is of the exact form or con-
figuration of the frame to be inade. This mould is composed of as many pieces as
its form may require. I bring these pieces together, with the exception of the top
piece (or the bottom piece, as thought best), which forms the stamp. I next fill the
mould with liquid glass or glass in a molten state, and then bring down the top
piece or stamp upon it, when the glass will be forced into every part of the mould
so as to form the cruet or other frame. The mould is then opened, and the glass
frame removed therefrom. This frame is afterwards annealed and otherwise treated
as may be thought best.
In the accompanying Drawings I represent by way of example a mould suitable
for producing a three-hole frame entirely of glass in accordance with my
Invention.
Figure 1 is a sectional plan, and Figure 2 a sectional elevation of the mould;
Figures 3, 4, and 5 are respectively a front elevation, a plan, and a side view of the
same on a smaller scale; Figure 1ª is a sectional plan of the handle of the glass
frame.
The loose body or upper portion a of the mould is constructed with three bosses
or projections f, f, f, so placed as to form three holes or recesses in the glass frame
to receive three cruets or other bottles. The plug, stamp, or top piece b is of the
necessary three lobed form to correspond with the part a, and it is provided with
lugs c to prevent it descending beyond a given point, so that the three recesses or
holes in the glass frame may receive the required bottom thickness. is the catch,
and the fastening pin, which with the remaining portions of the mould being of
the ordinary construction require no explanation. The parts marked h, h, h, shew
the general design of the glass frame. The mould being filled with liquid glass the
plug bis brought down upon it, and secured by the catch, so that the glass is forced
into every part h, h, of the mould, and forms the frame.
And having now described the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim, manufacturing frames for cruets
and for liqueur, pickle, and other bottles entirely of glass, substantially as hercin-
before described and represented in the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Neville, have hereunto set my hand and
seal, this Thirtieth day of June, One thousand cight hundred and seventy-
six.
