SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,380, dated May 11, 1897. Application filed February 26, 1897. Serial No. 6251205. (No model.)

T0 all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH G. TEB- BUTT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

Myinvention relates to bottles having one or more quantum-measures connected with an end thereof and provided with passageways communicating between said measures and the chamber of the bottle, and having each a discharge-opening which is pendent and below the plane of said passage-ways when the liquid is to be drawn therefrom; and the objects of my invention are to provide, with abottle, quantum-measures, one or more, each of arbitrary capacity and below an intake communicating with the chamber of the bottle and having a stoppered pendent discharge; to provide a bottle with quantummeasures having each a pendent dischargeopening, one or more, in situation belowr the plane of the intake passage-Way when the bottle is in position for discharge; to provide a duplex chambered bottle with quantummeasures each connected with a different chamber thereof and provided with an intakepassage and a pendent discharge-opening adapted to be closed at will by a stopper, and, finally, to provide specific 'means by which my invention may be embodied in bottles. I attain these objects by means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section of a bottle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a view of the same from above. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a duplex chambered bottle embodying my invention. Fig. 4 is a view from above of the same, and Fig. 5 is a section taken at line l in Fig. 3.

The same letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In Figs. l and 2, A is the body of a bottle. A is the chamber thereof. ct is the neck, and d' is a cork or stopper closing the mouth of the latter. This bottle may be of any preferred form and be of glass or other suitable substance and with any preferred capacity for holding liquids.

B B are quantum-measures, shown to be of different sizes and having their walls h integral (or connected) with the walls of the neck c and their chambers connected each with the throat of said neck by an intake port or opening b. The quantum measuring-chambers B' of these measures are shown to be on a plane below dotted line fr, Fig. l, drawn horizontal at the lower side of said intakeport b' when the bottle is inposition shown. A discharge-opening B2 (shown to be pendent) is provided at the lower side of each said measure and closed by a suitable stopper b?, which is removable at will.

In Figs. 3 and 4 a duplex bottle is shown, in which bottle are embodied two separate chambers A A', each separated from the other by one or more division-walls a?. Figs. 8 and 4 also show the usual neck of the bottle to be dispensed with and liquid-lilling mouths C C, Fig. 4, to be provided and through which liquids may be introduced within the respective chambers A' A' of the bottle. Corks c c are shown closing said mouths. The quanta .B B in this duplex bottle are shown to have their respective intake ports or openings b communicating each with a different bottle-chamber A and having their respective measuring chambers B on a plane below the lower sides of their respective intakeopenings b when the bottle is in position to allow a discharge of liquid from said quantum-measures through their respective discharge-openings B2 when the Stoppers b2 are removed. If preferred, the filling-mouths C C may be omitted from this duplex bottle, and the filling of each chamber thereof may be made through the respective discharge-openings B2 when the bottle is in suitable position therefor. This duplex bottle when made of glass may be made in halves in suitable molds and have their flat sides brought together or near each other, when their edge margins d d will be fused together or cemented to each other or be otherwise secured together. If preferred, the quantum-measure ends of this bottle, Whether single or duplex, may be made flat to adapt said ends to serve as the bottom end of the bottle, from which it may stand upright. These quantum-measures may have made with their side walls subquantum Ineasure-lines, as e e', serving to mark measures of less quantity than the whole of a quan tummeasure B when the bottle stands upright by IOO so inclining the bottle that said lines e or e will be relatively horizontal and coincident with horizontal dotted line when the liquid above said lines e or e' may run back into the bottle and leave in the quantum-measure the submeasure designed to be taken from the bottle.

By my above-described improvements the necessity of using an instrument apart from the bottle is obviated, and varying quantities for adults, youths, and children may readily be taken from the same bottle and introduced into a drinkingglass or other vessel in a cleanly manner and without recourse to the use of spoons or graduating-glasses.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1sn

l. A bottle having a quantum-measure located Wholly below an intake communicating with the chamber of the bottle and having a discharge-opening which is on a plane below the said intake, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

v2. A bottle having a quantum-nieasure located below an intake communicating with the chamber of the bottle and having one or more submeasuremarks arranged on an inoline in relation to a horizontal line drawn at the lower side of said intake, and from the latter toward a discharge-openin g located below the plane of said intake substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. A bottle having one or more quantummeasures each of capacity different from that of the other, and provided each with an intake which communicates with the chamber of the bottle and is above a discharge-opening adapted to be opened or closed at will,

substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4. A bottle having a quantum-measure located below an intake communicating With the chamber of the bottle and provided with a dischargeopening which is at a plane below said intake when the quantum-measure contains only its selected measured quantity and :ready to be discharged, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. l

5. A bottle adapted to be inverted at will and having a quantum-measure connected with its body and provided with an intake communicating with the chamber of the bottle and having also a discharge-opening which Will be below the plane of the bottom ot' said intake when said quantu 11i-measure is at the upper end of the bottle substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

G. A bottle adapted to be inverted at will and having a quantum-measure connected with its body and provided with an intake communicating with the chamber of the bottle and having also a discharge opening adapted to be closed at wilhand located above the plane of the intake of the quantum-measure, when the latter is at the lower end of the bottle and before being inverted so as to be at the upper end substantially as and for the purposes set fortln 7. A duplex bottle having` separated chambers and a quantum-measure having its chamber communicating with a different chamber oi' the bottle, as and for the purposes set forth.
