MUCILAGE-BOTTLEB SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 598,474, dated February 1, 1898.

Serial No. 634,020. (No model.)

To (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILO E. DANIELS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the countyof Alameda and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mucilage-Bottles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of said invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it most nearly appertains to make, use, and practice the same.

This invention relates to improvements in bottles, and more particularly to that class of bottles for containing mucilage; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of an attachment whereby the mucilage is prevented from adhering to the neck of the bottle and forming a gummy deposit thereon.

In the drawing is shown a sectional view of a bottle supplied with an attachment constructed in accordance with this invention.

To facilitate the description with reference to the drawing, 1 will let the letter A represent the body of the bottle; B, a thin metal form or receptacle; 0, a compressible gasket, by means of which the said metallic form is adjusted to the various sizes of necks.

D is the'non-gumming material, and E is i the brush.

The objection above noted of the mucilage adhering to the mouth or neck of the bottle and the water being evaporated therefrom, allowing a deposit of gum to be formed on the neck, has proved seriously objectionable. It- .is with the purpose in view to prevent the formation of this gum that the substance D has been placed in the attachment or metal form B shown in drawing. This substance consists in the admixture of paraffin and a small percentage of tallow to produce a greasy surface, to which the mucilage will not adhere. Bypreventing the adhesion the subsequent mucilage and the deposit of partly-hardened gum about the neck of the bottle is prevented. It is for the purpose of disguising both the appearance and the odor of the paraffin and tallow that I have added any suitable coloring-matter and perfume while the paraffin and tallow are in a molten state.

The hollow forms B are constructed of any thin metal, preferably sheet tin, and are struck out by dies or spun to the form shown in section in the drawing. These forms B are suitably covered, being nickel-plated, japanned, or oxidized to give a neat and workmanlike appearance.

The compound above described is placed in the metal form B, so as to cover the entire interior surface between the upper flange B and the lower flange B the latter of which operates as a support for holding that part of the non-gumming compound which is within theneck of the bottle.

A suitable form to give the funnel-shaped interior, as shown in section in drawing, is placed in position within the metal form B, filling the lower aperture made by the flange B in the drawing by means of suitable forms or.

When in. position the molten compound above described is poured into the metal form molds. This stopper is adapted to fit within the opening in the attachment, as shown in the drawing, and may be used without fear of the adhesion to the neck of the bottle for the reason that the mucilage will not adhere to either the substanceof the said stopper or that of the attachment, which is of a similar compound.

By means of the use of suitable dyes in the composition and an admixture of perfumes or scents a very pleasant article is produced, which while answering all of the purposes, as hereinbefore set forth, such as preventing the adhering of the mucilage about the neck of the bottle, also serves to produce a pleasant odor in the room in which it is exposed.

Having thus described this invention, it is claimed-* 1. An attachment for a mucilage -bottle adapted to fit Within the neck of the same and fume intimately combined, substantially as having an interior surface composed of pardescribed. 1o affin, colored with suitable dyes and carrying In testimony whereof I have hereunto set a suitable scentor perfume, substantially as my hand this letth day of April, 1897.
