T. E. GREENWOOD. PERFUME HOLDER AND TESTER.
Patented July 7, 1891.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS E. GREENVOOD, OF W'AUWATOSA, WVISCO NSIN.
PERFUME HOLDER AND TESTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 455,321, dated July '7, 1891.
Application filed January 22, 1891- Serial No. 378,635- (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS E.- GREEN- WOOD, of \Vauwatosa, in the county of Milwaukeeand State of Visconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Perfume Holders and Testers, of which the following isa description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.
In placing upon the market and selling perfumes such as are compounded with essential oil and are kept and preserved in air-tight bottles or receptacles it is usually necessary to offer a sample of the perfume to the customer-or would-be purchaser of the perfume, or in some manner to allow him to test its fragrance, while at the same time it is objectionable to expose the supply of perfume to the air, as by repeated exposures it is liable to lose its fragrance, by reason of the volatile nature of the essential oil in which the fragrance is held.
My invention consists of a perfume-bottle and a bottle-stopper to be used in the bottle containing the supply of perfume, which bottie-stopper is made hollow to hold a small amount of the perfume, and is also provided with its stopper and a simple device constructed therewith for enabling the would-be purchaser to test the quality of the perfume.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perfume-bottle provided with my recently-invented perfume holder and tester as a stopper thereto. Fig.
. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the bottle-stopper with its stopper and tester therein forming my newly-invented device.
The bottle A is constructed of glass and-is such as is in common use. The truncated cone-shaped stopper 13 has its surface ground and fitted to the neck of the bottle A, so as to be air-tight therein. The stopper is hollow and is formed with a head 0, having a central aperture in its top, in which is inserted the ground-glass stopper D. This stopper B,
presence of two witnesses.
with itsl1eadO,beinghollo\v and provid ed with the air-tightstopperD, forms a small receptacle or chamber E, adapted to hold a smallsupply of perfumeryof the same quality as that contained in the bottle A. The stopperD is provided with an elongated end or stem forming atester F, of such length, preferably, as to reach nearly to the bottom of the chamber E. This stem tester F enters the perfume in the chamber E, and when the stopper D is withdrawn from the larger stopper B the tester has thereon a small quantity of the perfume contained in the chamber E, by which the would-be purchaser is able to conveniently and satisfactorily test the fragrance and quality of the perfume containedin the chamber E, and also in the bottle A, by catching in the usual method the aroma that is given off from the perfume adhering to the side of the tester.
That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination, With a bottle, of a stop- .per formed to fit in and close the mouth of the bottle, the stopper itself being provided with a chamber adapted to receive and hold a small sample of the material containedin the bottle, which stopper is also provided with a central aperture at the top opening into its chamber, a smaller stopper adapted to fit into and close the aperture in thetop of thelarger stopper, and a tester consisting of an extension of the smaller stopper constructed integral therewith and arranged to project into the chamber of the larger stopper and to be removed therefrom with the smaller. stopper, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix mysigna'ture in THOMAS E. GREENlVOOD.
