Application filed July 14, 1899. Serial No. 723,765- (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern: ing small to receive the neck of the bottle, Be it known that I, ISABELLA M. BIRD, a the opening f permitting the out-passage of citizen of the United States, residing at Stanthe said neck, but the walls of said opening 55 ton, in the county of Hunterdon and State of preventing the out-passage of the body por- NewJersey, have invented certain new and tion of said bottle. v

This bottle, especially in Winter, remains a longer is adapted to encircle the body of the bottle time at a suitably-high temperature to be and is open at its opposite ends, the end f betaken into the stomach of the child.

It will be understood that the bottle-holder is of a length sufficient to project beyond the bottle and permit the shirr-strings to be drawn and the end of the holder to be closed around the bottom end of the bottle to retain said bottle in place.

The material from which the bottle-holder is made is hygienic in that when soiled it can be readily washed.

For winter use I prefer to line or pad the interior of the holder to more effectually prevent radiation of heatand maintain the milk at a temperature conducing to a quick digestion.

Having thus described the invention,what I claim as new is- 1. Theim proved nursing-bottle holder herein described, comprising a body 6, provided with an openingf, for the neck of the bottle to protrude, and said body entirely covering and inelosiug the remainder of the bottle, means for inserting and removing the bottle and means for attaching the bottle-inelosing body to a pillow or the like, substantially as set forth.

2. The herein described nursing bottle holder,having a body e, of soft non-conducting material adapted tocushion the sides of the bottle and retain its heat, said body having a permanent opening for the neck of the site end through which the bottle may be inserted, a draw-string arranged at said larger opening and adapted to close the body together below the bottom of the bottle, and a tonguej, which may be pinned to a pillow, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 10th day of July, 1895).

ISABELLA M. BIRD.
