PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Receptacles for Ink, Varnish, and other Liquid Compounds.
We HORACE VIVIAN PICKSTONE of Broughton Bridge, Salford, in the County
of Lancaster, Oil Merchant and RICHARD YORKE, Junior, of 13 Great Clowes
Street Salford in the County of Lancaster, Student, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
1:
'
Our invention is an improvement in receptacles for containing ink varnish gums
'enamel and such like compounds.
The object, of the invention is to secure the contents from dust dirt and evapor-
ation and to provide a dipping well in which the liquid is always retained at a
certain level.
The apparatus consists of an open well situated at the side and communicating
through an aperture at its base with a greater or covered store reservoir, the well
may rise to a level or above the level of the top of the store reservoir and have its
opening there; or it may rise but a small distance and open towardes the side when
made thus and provided the sides of the receptacle are of sufficient thickness the
well may take the form of a simple aperture slanting towardes the reservoir bottom,
and also when the well thus opens at the side we sometimes construct a gutter from
the well encircling the outside of the reservoir.
The receptacle is constructed as one piece: the well mouths may be adapted to
¡receive corks or stoppers.
When the well opens to the side the receptacle may be easily filled by turning it
mouth upwards, when however the mouth or opening is near the top of the apparatus
the filling may be more easily effected by providing a small aperture through which
the air may escape and which may be afterwards sealed up.
The invention may be manufactured from tin earthenware glass or other suitable
materials and when cost is not of first importance may be moulded or constructed
in various artistic forms.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Receptacles for Ink, Varnish, and other Liquid Compounds.
We HORACE VIVIAN PICKSTONE of Broughton Bridge Salford in the County
of Lancaster, Oil Merchant and RICHARD YORKE, Junior, of 13 Great Clowes
Street Salford in the County of Lancaster, Student, 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 :-
Our invention is an improvement in receptacles for containing-ink-varnish-
gums-enamel-and such like compounds. The object of the invention is to secure
the contents from dust-dirt-and evaporation-and to provide a dipping well-in
which the liquid is always retained at a certain level. The apparatus consists of
an open well situated at the side of and communicating through an aperture at
its base with a greater or covered store reservoir. The well may rise to a level
or above the level of the top of the store reservoir-and have its opening there.
Or it may rise but a small distance and open towards the side. When made thus
(and provided the sides of the receptacle are of sufficient thickness) the "well"

may take the form of a simple aperture slanting towards the reservoir bottom and
also when the "well" thus opens at the side-we sometimes construct a gutter
from the "well" encircling the outside of the reservoir-the 'receptacle is
constructed as one piece. The "well" mouths may be adapted to receive corks or
stoppers.
When the well opens to the side the receptacle may be easily filled by turning
it mouth upwards. When however the mouth or opening is near the top of
the apparatus the filling may be more easily effected by providing a small
aperture through which the air may escape-and which may be afterwards
sealed up.

To further illustrate the manner in which this invention may be carried into
effect we have herewith appended drawings shewing the forms that we prefer to
adopt.

Fig. 1. is a part section and. part top view of
શ can" or receptacle, made from
sheet metal-and adapted to hold-paint-varnish &c. both while stored and while
being used. Fig. 2. is a plan view of the same.
("
ן
Fig. 3. is a section view of a receptacle-for containing ink and the like-made
from earthenware or other similar material and which shews the walls. of the
receptacle of sufficient thickness to conveniently accomodate the dipping well in
its simplest form therein.
Fig: 4. is a section view of a receptacle similarly formed externally-but with
the dipping well and aperture connecting it with the store reservoir extending all
round and with a mouth at one point opening outwards.towards the side, [..
A is the covered store reservoir to which access is only obtained through the
dipping well B. and the connecting aperture C. when made as shewn in Figure 4.
The dipping well-B. extends all the way round in the thickness of the wall and
the aperture (for convenience of construction) is also continuous and access is
provided to the dipping "well" at one point only, B 1. When it is desired to fill
the reservoir-the receptacle is held with the mouth or opening at the highest
possible point, and the liquid then is poured in at the opening-when it will
completely fill the reservoir. But when it is placed on its bottom the liquid is
prevented from coming out except as required by the atmosphere as is well under-
stood, and the liquid is preserved free from dust-dirt and atmospheric deterioration.
It has also the advantage of being drawn from the bottom of the reservoir-and
is therefore not thin.because of settling as is sometimes the case when the liquid is
used: from the top.
The invention may be manufactured from tin-or other sheet metal or from glass-
earthenware or other similar material-and where cost is not of first importance-
may be moulded or constructed in various artistic forms.
Having now described the form and nature of our invention we claim
1st. A receptacle for holding liquids &c. for storage or use-made substantially
as described consisting of a reservoir A. and a dipping well B. connected by
means of an aperture C. situated at or near the bottom of the main reservoir
where the supply is always drawn from the bottom.
2. A receptacle made substantially as described consisting of a reservoir A.
and a dipping well B. situated as shewn in the thickness of the wall of the
reservoir at or near the bottom of the same-the "well" being a simple opening
inclined upwards and outwards towards the side.
