PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Bottles Containing Sauces,
Relishes, and other Liquids.
WILLIAM GILL HALL 15 Avenue Road Lower Clapton London N.E.
Accountant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object the prevention of any of the contents of bottles
for sauces and the like running down the outside of the bottle after use and soiling
the bottle labels; the table cloth on which the bottle is placed; and the hands of
the person using the bottle a second time.
I construct for the purpose of my invention a ring of porous paper, linen, india
rubber, fine wire, or other like material or materials. This ring I attach to the
upper part of the bottle neck which has the effect of collecting and absorbing all
overflow waste and thus preventing the liquid from running down the neck of the
bottle each time the bottle is used.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Bottles Containing Sauces,
Relishes, and other Liquids.
I, WILLIAM GILL HALL Accountant 15 Avenue Road Lower Clapton London
N.É. 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 :-
My invention consists of a ring composed of unsized paper or other absorbent
material which I attach to the necks of bottles containing sauce or other similar
liquids in any convenient position so as to arrest and absorb any overflow drops
which usually run down the sides of the bottle and stains or soils the labels and also
the table upon which the bottle is placed after use. I make the said rings by
first taking a rod of metal or wood of same thickness as the neck of the bottle to
which the rings are intended to be fixed. Next roll separate layers of unsized
paper or other absorbent material upon the rod sticking each layer together until
required thickness is obtained, then withdraw said rod, leaving a tube of absorbent
material, which I cut into lengths of about one quarter of an inch in breadth.
attach the rings upon the necks of the bottles by means of cutting or slitting the
rings through one side and then springing them upon the bottle necks; afterwards
fastening the cut ends again together in any convenient manner.
Fig. 1 in drawing represents section of bottle neck with absorbent ring A A
attached in the manner before described.
I
Fig. 2 represents upper surface or ground plan of the absorbent ring before
being cut or slit as before mentioned.
Fig. 3 represents the same as Figure 2 cut or slit ready for springing into position
upon the bottle neck.
The rings as before described may also be made or formed by means of stamping
with a circular die out of any absorbent material of required thickness.
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 :-
1. A device consisting of a ring of absorbent material for attaching to the necks
[Price 8d.]

page_text: of bottles containing sauces, relishes, and the like, for the purpose of arresting and
absorbing any overflow drops running down the neck of the bottle after use.
2. A device for protecting from sauce stains and smears the labels of bottles
containing sauces, relishes, and the like."
3. A device for protecting tables and table cloths from sauce stains, and also
preventing the hands of the person taking up the bottle being soiled by its
contents.
