Improvements in Bottles for Mineral and Aërated Waters.
WILLIAM HAMMOND of the London Road, Southend-on-sea, in the County of Essex
Mineral Water Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A Bulb Bottle, with internal globe glass stopper. has three indents in neck and is
a three way pour out. (Name of same The Triangle pour out bottle.) The indents
in neck are constructed for strength, also for holding stopper back in whatever position
the bottle may be held while the contents are being emptied, likewise when being
brushed on revolving brush, as the brush can be passed in and out the bottle without
coming in contact with stopper, thus diminishing the amount of danger when taking
off revolving brush. Can be filled by all internal stopper Filling Machines.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bottles for Mineral and Aërated Waters.
1, WILLIAM HAMMOND of the London Road, Southend on Sea, in the county of
Essex Mineral water manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved construction of bottle, of the kind generally
known as "internal stoppered," in which the pressure of the confined gas presses a
globular stopper against an india rubber or other ring within the neck, thus forming a
gas tight stopper. With such bottles as hitherto made and used, there has been a
great disadvantage in the fact that the globular stopper could not be retained in the
lower part of the neck while pouring, and also, when said bottle was placed upon a
revolving brush for cleansing purposes, the globular stopper aforesaid coming in con-
tact with said brush when placing or removing the bottle was an element of danger.
My invention is designed with a view to obviate these disadvantages, and enable the
contents of the bottle to be poured out at any angle, and at any part of the month
thereof without being checked by the stopper, and also to diminish the danger when
cleansing with a revolving brush in the manner hereinbefore referred to.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation
of a bottle made in accordance with my invention, and Figure 2 is a cross section of
the same upon the line A B. Figure 1. Similar letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts in both views.
The globular stopper c rests upon the slot which is indented or pressed out of the
substance of the bottle in the process of making. I form three indents a a¹ a" at
equidistant points round the neck of the bottle, thus making three corresponding pro-
jections upon the inside of the neck, as shewn by the cross section Figure 2. The
stopper c is retained by these at any angle that the bottle may assume while pouring
or cleaning, and said stopper can only pass said projections a a¹ a¹¹ centrally, that is
when the bottle is inverted and held in a perfectly vertical position.
I wish it to be understood that I do not claim the use of a globular stopper c nor
the general conformation of the neck of a bottle, shewn by the slot b or the like, as I
am aware that these have been made and used prior to my invention as herein
described and set forth.

page_text: 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
In an internally stoppered bottle for mineral and aërated waters, the employment of
three projections a a¹ a Figure 2, formed out of the substance of said bottle substan-
tially as and for the purposes herein described with reference to the drawings.
