Improvements in Sprinkler Bottles.
I HENRY BROOKS of 219 to 231 Shaftesbury Avenue London W.C. Bottle
Stopper Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:―
In forming the tops or lips of bottles of suitable thickness & level to affix
thereon a glass cover or stopper of any suitable configuration, with a hole through
the centre, & with or without a flange underneath to go against the inside of the
bottle necks. This stopper can he placed on or into the bottle neck & securely
fixed by means of a specially prepared cement which forms itself into part
& parcel of the glass & quite impervious to liquids. On the top of the stopper
is cast a screw thread for a metal cap which can be either loose or fixed. By
this invention the evaporation or leakage of perfumes or other liquids is rendered
impossible, as is the risk when a stopper is made wholly or partially of cork.
I claim to obtain the same result of non evaporation or leakage by using a ground
glass stopper with a hole through the centre & to fix into the necks of bottles which
have been ground in the ordinary way.
Dated this 10th day of October 1895.
HENRY BROOKS of 219 to 231 Shaftesbury Avenue W.C. Stopper Manu-
facturer 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 in dispensing with the portable metal & cork sprinkler
stoppers by making the bottle and stopper with the screw thread for a cap all in
one piece together with the holes which can be afterwards formed (by a peg button)
to any sizes required for sprinkling or pouring liquids, oils etc., this process
in Drawing narked No. 1.
A is the bottle, B the stopper, C the cap.
shown
accomplish the same result by grinding or melting the tops of the lips of
ordinary bottles & cementing or welding on to the same a piece of shaped glass
(with or without a flange, to fit inside the bottle neck) screw threaded with
holes through and ground underneath, this method is shown in Drawing marked
No. 2.
A is the bottle & lip B the sprinkler stopper C the cap.
I obtain the same result by a third process shown in Drawing No. 3 by forming
holes of any desired size through a ground glass stopper with screw thread attached
which may be either fixed on to the top of the neck of the bottle by using cement
so as to prevent the stopper falling out when in use or can be let into the necks of
bottles in the ordinary way.

& C is the cap.
By adopting these methods there can be no evaporation or leakage as is often the
case when stoppere made of metal or wholly or partly of cork are used.
Bottles made on my three principles enumerated can be filled by pressure or
funnels, or syringes.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is
The production of bottles or sprinklers with screw threads for fixing the caps
made all in one piece of glass as shown in Drawing No. 1 & also of bottles &
sprinkler stoppers made all of glass by processes described & shown in Drawings
No. 2 & No. 3.
