IMPRQVBMBT IN STOPPERS FOR JARS AND BOTTLES.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same I, HENRY \V.'KETCHAM, ofthe city, county, and
being shown in section.
Figure 2 shows the ring in plan vieu.k
Figure 3 represents the stopper as applied in seal.- inga jar or bottle, the latter with the packing-ring shown in section.
The. stopper A is p1 eferably constructed of glass, but any other suitable material may be used.
The conical portion a and the flange b b are of smaller diameter than the neck of the bottle in which they are to be used, and the ring c is ot' suchv size as to clasp the conical body with suicient force to retain its position on the stopper when not inserted in the jar, and of such thickness that its external diameter is considerably greater than that of the mouth ofthe jar, so that, when inserted, it is so compressed as to flatten and extend it so as tocover the whole or a greater' part of the conical parta, and also compress it closely intd the angle between said partand the abrupt shoulder of the an ge b.
pering, being largest at the mouth.. rlhis form facilitates the insertion ot'my improved stopper, but is not essential, as it lits equally tight if the neck is not ta- Y pering, after sutlicient force has been used to drive it The action of pushing, the stopper in first compresses the ring against the shoulder b, when its elasticity causes it to extend downward in the narrowing interstice, until an equilibrium exists between the two extremities, which correspond in form and action to a wedge, the lower being the point and the upper the head, driven in and held by the flange or shoulder b.
1t is withdrawn with comparative ease, on account of the cylindrical form ofthe packing-ring, which rolls 'as the stopper comes out, and may, it the resistance is great, 'be disconnected from it, the `parts in such ease being separately removed, and the ring again placed on the stopper for subsequent use.
The stopper is capable of repeated service, the use not being injurious to it in any manner, and it is designed to be manufactured and sold separately from the jars, of assorted sizes adapted to the usual range of diiierent-sized bottles, its construction being such as 'to insure a suitable t of the same stopper with considerable variation in the sizeof the neck of the bottles.
I'claim as my invention- An improved bottle-stopper, formed of the conicalshouldered stopper or plug A and cylindrical packingging c, constructed and operating substantially as set orth. v
Inwitncss whereof I have hereunto signed myrname in the prescnceof two subscribing witnesses.
