tube, or closing any portion thereof, which would set up the
irregularly pulsing flow that characterized the prior attempts
in this direction. Instead, I use a small vent, whereby the
air is caused to pass into the air passage or tube in relatively
fine bubbles, which pass readily and with great speed (in case
of a thin liquid) up through such liquid as may accidentally
have trickled into the air-tube, so that a uniform and steady
outflow of liquid is assured. . . . At the inner end of the
air-tube I provide a liquid-baffle in the form of a bend or spout,
directed towards that side of the bottle which has the outflow
passage, the end of the spout being preferably in line with the
outflow passage, so that if the latter were extended within the
bottle it would meet the end of said spout. The bend is
preferably reflex or backward along the air-tube, and pre-
ferably the spout stands at an acute angle to said air-tube.
