E. PLUEHR.
BOTTLE CLOSURE.
APPLICATION FILED FEB. 19, 1906.
A Mme/v5 Y5 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EMILE FLUEHR, OF SPRAGUE, WASHINGTON, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOHN I. MELVILLE. OF SPRAGUE, WASHINGTON.
BOTTLE-CLOSURE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented 0a. 9, 1906.
10 all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EMILE FLUEHR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sprague, in the county of Lincoln and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Bottle-Closure, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to closures for bottles and like receptacles; and its object is to provide a gravity-operated device of this character which will automatically close the bottle when in its normal or upright position and which when the bottle is inverted will move from the mouth thereof to allow the contents to flow outward. The closure is therefore particularly adapted for use upon bar-bottles.
The invention consists of a clip adapted to embrace the neck of a bottle, and a ring or loop is supported by this clip above the mouth of the neck. Interposed between the neck and loop is a cap, which normally rests upon and closes the bottle-neck, and extending from said cap is a weight of peculiar contour, which is located within the loop and is adapted to accurately direct the cap into proper position upon the bottle-mouth.
The invention also consists of certain other novel features of construction and combination of parts, the preferred form of which will be hereinafter more fully described ,andpointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown the preferred form of my invention.
In said drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a bottle-neck and showing my improved closure in its normal position. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the neck partly inverted and the closure in open position. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the clip and the parts formed therewith, and Fig. 4 is a similar view of the cap.
Referring to the figures by numerals of reference, 1 is a substantially circular loop extending at an angle from parallel arms 2, which are twisted or otherwise secured together at their lower portions, as shown at 3, and terminate in oppositely-disposed similar bows 4, arranged substantially parallel with the loop 1. These bows constitute clips adapted to embrace a bottle-neck 5, so as to support the loop 1 above the mouth or open end of said neck.
A preferably metallic cap 6 is normally seated upon the end of the bottle-neck to close it, and a pointed centering-lug 7 extends downward from the center of the cap and projects into the neck 5. Arranged upon the top of the cap 6 is an inverted frusto-conical weight 8, which is loosely mounted at all times within the loop 1, the diameter of its upper end being preferably greater than that of the loop.
It will of course be understood that when the bottle is in its normal position the cap 6 will be seated by gravity upon and will close the open end thereof. When it is desired to remove any of the contents of the bottle, the same is partly inverted in the usual manner, and the weight 8 will promptly slide or drop through the loop 1 until the small end of said weight rests upon the loop, whereupon the cap will be held flat upon the loop and the contents of the bottle permitted to flow outward unhindered. When the bottle is .returned to its normal position, the weight will center the cap upon the mouth of the bottleneck, this operation being facilitated by the tapered depending lug 7.
The closure can be quickly attached to or detached from a bottleneck by means of the clips 4 and, as before stated, is particularly adapted for use upon bar-bottles.
What I claim is 1. In a closure for bottles and the like, the combination with a looped support, of a cap, and a centering weight extending from the cap and loosely mounted within the loop.
2. A closure for bottles and the like comprising a looped support, a cap, and a frustoconical weight extending from the cap into the loop.
3. A closure for bottles and the like, comprising a support having a loop, a cap, and a frusto-conical centering device rigidly mountiad upon the cap and extending through the f. A closure for bottles and the like, comprising a supporting device having a loop, a cap, a centering projection upon the inner face of the cap, and a frusto-conical weight pxtending from the cap and through the 5. A closure for bottles and the like, comprising a support having a loop, a cap, means upon the cap and within the loop for directing said cap into position upon the end of a bottle-neck.
6. A closure for bottles and the like, comprising a detachable support having a loop, a cap, a frusto-conical centering device and weight extending from the cap and loosely mounted within the loop, and. a projection upon the inner face of the cap.
7. The combination with a bottle, of a support detachably mounted upon the neck thereof and having a loop, a cap seated upon the neck, and a frusto-conical centering device extending from the cap and loosely mounted within the loop.
8. The combination with a bottle, of a support detachably mounted upon the neck thereof, a loop integral with the support and overlapping the end of the neck, a cap, an inverted frusto-conical centering device and weight extending from the cap and loosely mounted within the loop, and a projection neck, a cap normally seated upon the neck,
an inverted frusto-conical weight and centering device extending from the cap and loosely mounted within the loop, and a projection extending from the cap and normally projecting into the bottle-neck.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
EMILE FLUEHR.
