Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. Apr. f3, 1915.
Application filed February 11, 1914:. Serial No. 817,972.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. RAN- AGAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Vineland, in the county of Cumberland and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is a description.
My invention relates to stoppers for glass jars and the like, of all sizes and of whatsoever material they may be made, and especially those used in connection with glass bottles or jars intended to contain fluids likely to afiect or corrode stoppers of vegetable materials such as cork or rubber, and which are best contained in receptacles closed with glass stoppers.
The objects of my invention are, first, to provide a glass disk stopper without gaskets or packing of any kind, which shall be water and air-tight; 2nd, to provide simple means for locking and unlocking the same upon the top of the jar or bottle; 3rd, to reduce the cost of the device.
Other objects will appear from the hereinafter description.
I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a glass jar having my improved fastening device applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the glass disk stopper; and Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the metal mounting of the glass stopper.
Similar letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
A indicates a jar of any suitable shape or dimensions, having a collar at its mouth; C a glass cover therefor, both the top of the jar and the adjacent side of the glass cover being ground upon a glass cutters flattening stone, or otherwise, an operation which may be conducted with a large number of disks or a large number of bottles in a holder or frame at one and the same time, and at slight cost.
18 is a spring hail, the hooked ends of which fit under the collar C of the bottle, pass through guides f on the edge of the metallic mounting F of the disk, and through a pair of bearings E riveted to the mounting, and through the bell crank E, making a fulcrum therefor.
11) is the disk portion of the metallic mounting of the cover G, having turneddown clips G at the edges thereof which engage a crease (Z in the edge of the cover C, thereby firmly clamping the metallic mounting D to the cover C.
His a turned-down stop on one side of the metal disk D which bears against the collar C, and thereby serves to adjust the cover 0 symmetrically to the mouth of the jar A. and to bring the bail B into a diametrical position over the mouth of the jar A; and the cover C and disk D may be readily removed by sliding them off, and may again be adjusted to the mouth of the jar A by sliding them on, until the stop H brings up against the collar C. In this last position, when the lever I of the bell crank E is turned down so as to bring the eccentric e to bear against the metallic disk D, the pres sure of the eccentric e and the bail B holds the glass cover C and its ground'surface against the ground surface of the mouth of the jar A, and firmly closes it air-tight and water-tight.
My preferred form of jar has a plain collar C at its mouth, and in other respects may be of any form, size, shape or dimensions, and my improved stopper is preferably a glass disk ground on one side, clamped by the above described metallic fastening parts, and locked and unlocked by them, the whole adjustable to such a ar or to a bottle, and effectually closes the same by bringing ground glass against ground glass, and glass alone in contact with the contents of the bottle.
The manufacturing of my stopper is automatic machine work, some of the parts being preferably stamped out of sheet metal, the disk mounting with its clip and stop and bearing for the spring bail being stamped and shaped in one piece and the bell crank E in another. The bail is shaped from wire in well-known ways which are obvious without further description.
Changes may be made in the shape and in the material of my bottle stopper without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Thus I realize all the foregoing objects with'a stopper of such attachments and construction as will permit the stopper and its attachments to be applied to other jars or bottles of the same design without any changes or new adaptations; and it will be seen that this may be done by the ordinary user, without any reconstructions at the factory. Thus, when a bottle is broken, its
stopper may be applied instantly to another bottle Without any change or adjustments whatsoever.
Having described my invention, what I claimas new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. In combinati'onwith lar at its mouth, a over the mouth of the jar, a metallic disk having clips clamping" the glass cover, a spring bail, the 'endslof which hook under the collar, bearings therefor on the metallic cover, and a bell crank and eccentric :upon said spring bail.
2. In combination with a jar having a collar-at its mouth, a cover adjustable over the mouth of the jaryadisk having clips clamping'the cover, a bail the ends of which hook over the collar, bearings therefor on the disk, and an eccentric upon the bail adapted to tighten and loosen the cover against the mouth of the jar.
3. In combination holding means,
a jar having a (:61-
with a jar having: baila fiat-disk vitreous cover adjustable over the mouth of the jar, and having bearings for the bail, a bail the ends of which hook the jar, and on'the bail an ec- G'opies of this-patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the glass cover' adjustable centric bearing against the cover and having a handle.
4. In combination with a jar having bailholding means, a ground glass fiat-disk cover adjustable over the ground glass mouth of the jar and having bearings for the bail, a bail the ends of which hook the jar, and
on the bail an eccentric bearing against the 1 have hereunto set city, county and State of this 7th day of January, 1914.
