UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
LE\VIS II. BROOME, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY.
BOTTLE-STOPPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 626,885, dated June 13, 1899.
Application filed November 28, 1898. Serial No. 697,57dr (No model.)
T0 all whom, it nul/y concern:
Be it known that I, LEWIS H. BECOME, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of [Iudson and State of New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in Bottle-Stoppers, ot' which the following is a specification.
Bottle-Stoppers have heretofore been made with a bail-wire and lever for pressing the bottle-stopper into the mouthof the bottle, and upon the lower side of the stopper a plug of rubber has been provided to make a tight joint, and in some instances a thin plate of aluminium or other metal has been employed upon the inner end of -the rubber stopper to lessen the area of contact between the rubber and the liquid in the bottle. The metal stopper has been provided with a loop, through which the bail-wire passes freely, and hence such loop will allow the stopper to slide upon the bail-wire when disconnected from the botile, and there is nothing to hold the stopper in position upon the bail-wire, so that when the bail is returned over the mouth of the bottle the stopper will be in the correct position. In my present improvement I avail of the elasticity of the rubber of the stopper to hold the stopper in position upon the bailwire, so that it is not liable to slip along on the bail-wire, but will constantly retain its position upon such bail-wire when the bottle is open.
In carrying out this invention a rubber of substantially ordinary character is made use of, and a plate of aluminium or other suitable metal serves to protect the liquid contents of the bottle from contact with the rubber, and this plate also receives through it a Wire connection for the bail-wire, that terminates in an eye, loop, or hook, and there is a cap or plate intervening between the bail-wire and the rubber, the parts being constructed in such a manner that the rubber has to be compressed in order to introduce the bail-wire through the eye, loop, or hook, and hence there is a constant friction exerted between the eye, loop, or hook on one side of the bailwire and the plate that intervenes between the bail-wire and the rubber stopper. In this manner the friction is sufficient to hold the stopper in its correct position upon the bailwire, and the metal plate of aluminium or similar material that intel-venes between the rubber and the contents of the bottle is held in position by the Wire that passes up and terminates as an eye, loop, or hook.
In the drawings, Figure l is a vertical section illustrating the bail-wire, stopper, and
intervening plate. Fig. 2 is a section at right angles to Fig. l of the stopper, illustrating a different-shaped plate. lFig. 3 shows the rubber in the condition of its manufacture as expanded and slightly thicker than it is shown in either Figs. 1 or 2, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the ornamental sheet of celluloid.
The bail A is connected by any suitable lever to the neck-band around the bottle, and these parts do not form any portion of the present invention. The rubber stopper B is adapted to tightly iill the neck of the bottle, and the protecting-plate C is circular and of a size slightly smaller than the mouth or interior of the neck of the bottle, so as to protect the contents of the bottle as much as possible from contact with the rubber of the stopper, and .the wire D passes through the rubber and through the protecting-plate C, and has a head 2 at one end below the plate C and a hook, eye, or loop 3 at the upper end of such wire, through which the bail-wire A passes, and E represents a stopper-plate having a mortise through it for the eye, hook, or loop 3 to pass freely through, and the length of the wire D is such that the stopper-plate E has to be pressed firmly upon the rubber C to compress the same sufficiently for the wire bail A to be passed throughithe loop 3, and the expansion of the rubber after compression applies a friction by the loop 3 and the stopper-plateE upon the bail to prevent the stopper slippin g freely endwise upon the bail, and thereby the stopper is held upon the bail in the proper position for-closing theneck of the bottle when the bail is thrown up into position.
In Fig. 2 the stopper-plate E is represented with a head 4, there being a transverse opening through the stopper for the passage freely of the bail-wire A. This stopper-plate and head may .be integral and of any suitable material, such as metal or porcelain, as the present invention is available with a stopper and head, substantially such as shown in my Patent, No.615,606, dated December 6, 1898, there IOO being a layer of rubber or other elastic material between the cork and the stopper head or cap, so that the elasticity of the rubber can be availed of in holding the stopper head or 'cap from sliding endwise upon the bail-Wire.
It is advantageous to pierce the rubber stopper for the passage of the Wire D in order that the rubber mayclose tightly around such wire, and thus prevent the possibility of leakage at this point, and the head may be formed upon the Wire either before or after being passed through the rubber stopper and through the protecting-plate.
I claim as my inventionl. The combination with the bail-wire and the rubber stopper, of a stopper-plate resting upon the rubber, a protecting-plate at the inner end of the rubber stopper and a Wire passing through the protecting-plate and' having an eye or loop at the upper end through which l the bail-Wire passes, the length of such wire being such that the rubber is compressed in putting the parts together so that there is a I constant friction upon the bail-wire to hold the stopper in position upon suoli bail-Wire when the stopper is removed from the bottlemouth, substantially as specified.
2. The combination with the stopper and the bail, of a stopper-plate between the bail- Wire and the stopper and elastic material in the stopper and a Wire connected at one end with the stopper and having an eye, or loop at the other end through which the bail-Wire passes, the elastic material of the stopper be= ing Compressed sufficiently for applying a friction to the bail-Wire and holding the stopper in position upon the bail-Wire, substan tiaily as set forth.
3. The combination with the hollow rubber stopper and a bail-Wire and a plate or cap resting upon the rubber stopper, of a connection passing up from the rubber stopper and extending over the bail-wire, so that the rubber is slightly compressed, and a friction applied to the bail-Wire to hold the stopper in position on said bail-Wire, substantially as set forth.
