PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Feeding Bottles.
I, HERMANN DITTMANN of 42 Magdeburger-strasse, Erfurt, Germany, Master
Tin Plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as.
follows :-
According to this invention which has reference to improvements in feeding
bottles for infants, milk bottles having neither external nor internal screw-threads
upon the necks thereof are employed, an ordinary cork which is traversed by a
tubular centre piece provided with an external screw thread being used for closing
the same. To the lower end of this centre piece is attached the suction tube,
and to the upper end of the said centre piece is attached the mouth piece.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a feeding bottle according to this invention
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same; and
.
Fig. 3 is a detail view of the cork stopper partially bored by the centre piece.
a is the bottle which has a smooth neck; and b is the cork stopper into which
the externally screw threaded centre piece c is introduced.
To facilitate the perforation of the cork by the tubular centre piece, the lower
end of the latter may be tapered and be provided on its lower edge with cutting
teeth d. A shoulder e near the upper end of the centre piece c prevents the latter
from being passed beyond a certain distance through the cork. A glass suction
tube g is attached to the lower end of the centre piece by means of an internally
screw threaded sleeve f, and an ordinary mouth piece a is screwed onto the screw
threaded portion of the centre piece c above the shoulder e.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Feeding Bottles.
I, HERMANN DITTMANN of 42 Magdeburger-strasse, Erfurt, Germany, Master
Tin Plate Worker, 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 :-
This invention has reference to improvements in feeding bottles, and according
thereto a feeding bottle having a plain, unscrewed neck provided with an ordinary
cork having a tubular centre piece provided with an external thread screw. To
the lower end of this centre piece is attached the suction tube, and to its upper
end is attached the mouth piece, or the tube leading thereto.
In the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a feeding bottle according to this invention;
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same; and
Fig. 3 is a detail view of the cork stopper partially bored by the centre piece.
a is the bottle which has a plain neck; and b is the cork stopper into which the
externally screw threaded centre piece c is introduced.
To facilitate the perforation of the cork by the tubular centre piece, the lower
end of the latter may be tapered and be provided on its lower edge with cutting
teeth d. A shoulder e near the upper end of the centre piece c prevents the latter
from being passed too far through the cork. A glass suction tube g is attached

page_text: to the lower end of the centre piece by suitable means such as an internally screw
threaded sleeve f, and an ordinary mouth piece is screwed on to the screw
threaded portion of the centre piece c above the shoulder e.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A feeding bottle having a plain neck fitted with a cork stopper 6 into which is
screwed the perforated centre piece c the latter being connected at one end by the
sleeve with the suction tube g, and at the other end with the mouth piece h, and
being provided or not with the shoulder e and the tapered end with teeth d substan-
tially as described and shown.
