IMPROVEMENTS IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED LIQUIDS
Year: 1884

page_text: I HIRAM CODD of N° 41 Gracechurch Street in the City of London Bottle
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED LIQUIDS" to be as follows:-
According to this Invention I construct a bottle for containing aerated liquids
with a rim projecting inwards all around its mouth. Around the inner circum-
ference of this rim I mould a 'screw thread into which I screw a tubular thimble:
The tube screwed into the rim is of such a length that it projects downwards
beyond it and in this way an annular groove or space is formed between the
projecting end of the tubular thimble and the interior of the neck of the bottle.
Into this annular space or groove I insert an elastic packing ring of vulcanized
india rubber or vulcanized india rubber and cork or other elastic packing ring for a
disc of metal contained within the bottle to fit against. This disc might be
inserted into the bottle either before moulding the head of the bottle or before
screwing the screw ring or thimble into it.

When the bottle is inverted and filled with aerated liquid the pressure of gas
within the bottle will hold the disc against the elastic ring and so form an
air tight joint.

Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED LIQUIDS" and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :--

ference of this rim I mould a screw thread into which I screw a tubular thimble.

screwing the screw ring or thimble into it.
When the bottle is inverted and filled with aerated liquid the pressure of gas
within the bottle will hold the disc against the elastic ring and so form an
air tight joint.
In order that my said invention may be most fully understood and readily
carried into effect I will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the upper part of a bottle for aerated liquids
made in accordance with my invention. Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
a a is the body of the bottle, it is of glass and a thread is formed in the neck,
b is a thimble of pewter or like metal screwed or inserted into the thread of the
neck and projecting at its lower end into the interior of the bottle so as to provide
a recess in which the packing ring c may be securely lodged; d is a disc or
internal stopper which when the bottle is full is held by the pressure of the gas in
close contact with the packing ring.
The disc may be of metal or other suitable hard material as glass; it is best to
insert it into the bottle before the neck of the same is finished but by slightly
modifying the form of the thimble it is obvious that the mouth of the bottle may
be left large enough to admit it before the thimble is fixed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
T

A bottle for containing aerated liquid having a metallic thimble 6 fixed into its
mouth and projecting inwards so as to provide a cavity in which a packing c is
securely lodged; such packing ring forming a seating for an internal disc or
stopper & substantially as described.
