An Improved Form of Bottle or similar Vessel.
We, WILLIAM HENRY DEAN, of Old Hall Street Tin Plate Works, Burnley,
in the County of Lancaster, Tin Plate Worker, and RICHARD WILSON, of Ardwick
Street, Burnley aforesaid, Tin Plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to an improved form or shape of bottle or similar
vessel, and is designed to facilitate the emptying of the bottle without the usual
bubbling or gurgling of the liquid at the mouth. The bottle may be made of
metal, glass, earthenware or other material. In the usual forms, the bottles have
only been partially emptied when laid horizontally, and in the case of carboys and
other vessels containing acids, and other highly corrosive or deleterious liquids,
it is very important that the contents should be emptied with ease.
To accomplish the object of our invention, we form the body of the body cylin-
drical. Instead of forming the remaining portion of the bottle exactly conical
with two inclined planes sloping to a central mouth or vertex, we form the same
somewhat after the manner of a truncated cone, so that one side will slope con-
siderably, while the other side will be almost in a direct vertical plane with the
body of the vessel, but is nevertheless rounded to conform to the shape of the
cylindrical body.
From the foregoing description of our invention, it will be evident that the
mouth of the bottle is almost in a line with the body on one side, and the bottle
may therefore be much more easily emptied on this side than if it were made in
the usual form. Bottles made of metal, such as are used for holding paints, var-
nishes paraffin oil and the like may be provided with a handle on the elongated
conical side.

-
This invention has reference to an improved form or shape of bottle or similar

page_text: vessel, and is designed to facilitate the emptying of the bottle, without the usual
bubbling or gurgling of the liquid at the mouth. The bottle may be made of
metal, glass, earthenware or other material. In the usual form as is well known
the bottles have only been partially emptied when laid horizontally, and in the case
of carbuoys or other vessels containing acids, and other highly corrosive and dele-
terious liquids, it is very important that the contents should be emptied with ease.
To accomplish the object of our invention, we form the body of the bottle cylin-
drical. Instead of forming the remaining portion of the bottle exactly conical
with two inclined planes sloping to a central mouth or vertex, we form the same
somewhat after the manner of a truncated cone, so that one side will slope con-
siderably, while the other side will be almost in a direct vertical plane with the
body of the vessel but is nevertheless rounded to conform to the shape of the
cylindrical body.
From the foregoing description of our invention it will be evident that the
mouth of the bottle is almost in a line with the body on one side and the bottle
may therefore be much more easier emptied on this side than if it were made in
the usual form. Bottles made of metal such as are used for holding paints var-
nishes parrafin oil, and the like may be provided with a handle on the elongated
conical side.
We will now describe our invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is side elevation of vessel or bottle A B being the sloping side Figure 2
is front elevation of vessel or bottle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
