AN IMPROVEMENT IN BOTTLES AND JARS FOR PREVENTING SEDIMENT RISING OR MIXING WITH CLEAR LIQUOR
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JOHN CHARLES PICKIN of Cromwell near Newark in the County of Notting-
lam Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "AN
IMPROVEMENT IN BOTTLES AND JARS FOR PREVENTING SEDIMENT RISING OR
MIXING WITH CLEAR LIQUOR " to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved construction of bottles or jars for containing
liquids, whereby any sediment or deposit contained therein is more or less
prevented from rising when the liquid is poured out therefrom. For this purpose,
I construct the bottle or jar with an internal pocket or recess on one side of the
bottom thereof, or with the one side bulged inwards a short distance above the
bottom, so as to form a pocket or recess below such bulged part, while the opposite
side of the bottle is made to slope towards the pocket.
By this means all the sediment will be caused to accumulate in the said lateral
pocket or recess, and on tilting the bottle or jar over so that the pocket is situated
at the underside, the sediment will be effectually retained therein and thus be
prevented from rising in the clear liquid while this is being poured off.

Nottingham, Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for " AN

to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My invention relates to an improved construction of bottles or jars for containing
liquids, whereby any sediment or deposit contained therein is more or less

I construct the bottle or jar with an internal pocket or recess on one side of the

By this means all the sediment will be caused to accumulate in the said lateral
pocket or recess and on tilting the bottle or jar so that the pocket is situated
at the underside, the sediment will be effectually retained therein and thus be
prevented from rising in the clear liquid while it is being poured off.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings shews a bottle constructed according to my
invention, fig. 2 shews a cross section on line X X and fig. 3 shews a longitudinal
section.
The bottle is formed with an inward bulge at A, so as to constitute a pocket B
below, in which the sediment will be retained on tilting the bottle as shewn
at fig 3. The opposite side of the bottle is sloped somewhat at. C so as to direct
the sediment as much as possible towards the pocket...
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
i.
Constructing bottles and jars with an internal pocket or recess on one side of
the bottom thereof and with the opposite side sloped towards the pocket sub-
stantially as and' for the purpose herein set forth.
Dated this fifteenth day of December 1884.
