ments inBot-tle-Caps, of which the following is a specification.
' This invention relates to bottle caps and has as its object to provide a cap which, while it will effectually seal the bottle to which it is applied may be readily removed without the use of an opener.
The cap embodying the present invention is of the crown type and is formed of two sections, means being provided for normally and rigidly connecting the sections and this means being adapted to be removed by hand when it is desired to remove the cap.
For a full understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cap embodying the present invention, applied to a bottle. Fig. 2 is a similar view but illustrating the connecting strip for the two sections of the cap partly removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the cap applied. Fig. 4 is a similar view through the cap taken in a plane at right angles to the plane of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is ,a view partly in top plan and partly in horizontal section Corresponding and like parts arereferred to in the following description and indi-- cated in all the views of the accompanying drawing by the same reference characters.
The cap embodying the present invention somewhat resembles the ordinary crown cap in that it consists of a crown having a depending crimped rim and the said cap is formed in two sections each of which consists of a substantially semi-circular crown portion 1 and a substantially semi-annular depending rim 2 which is crimped as at 3 at the time of application of the cap to a bottle. The meeting edges of the crown portions 1 of the sections of the cap are in- .dicated by the numeral 4 and when these sections are properly assembled their said edges contact as clearly shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing.
The sections of the cap are held assembled by means of a strip 5 which may be of tin orany other suitable metahand this strip is soldered to the meeting edge portions of the lower edge of the rim 2 of the cap, at
one point, vertically upon the outer side of the said rim and transversely across the crown portions of the sections and downwardly upon the rim at a diametrically opposite point. This latter end of the strip extends below the lower edge of the rim as indicated at 6. The strip 5 is of course applied to the sections comprising the cap before the cap is placed in the capping machine. The portions of the strip 5 which lie 7 the said sections. The strip 5 extends from I against the rims 2 of the cap sections are formed with crimps 7 which engage with the crimps at the ends of the said rim portions 2, each of the said portions of the strip being preferably formed with two or more i of the said crimps so that when the strip is applied to the cap the crimps 7 will overlie or engage against a corresponding number of crimps 3 at the ends of the rim portions 2.
As illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawing,
the end-edges of the rim portions 2 are preferably so located that when the sections of the cap are assembled these meeting edges are located between two of the crimps 3. As stated, each of the portions-7 of the strip 5 is formed with two or more crimps and these crimps engage over or embrace those crimps between which the meeting edges of the rim portions of the sections of the cap occur. Thus, when the cap is applied, the engagement of the crimps in the strip 5 with the crimps of the rim portions 2 will serve to hold the sections of the cap securely against separation.
It will, of course, be understood that the solder employed in securing the strip in place is the means primarily employed for uniting the sections, but that the crimps in the said strip so firmly lock the ends of the rim portions 2 together as to prevent buckling of the cap as a whole.
l/Vhen it is desired to remove the cap the finger-piece 6 is grasped and the strip 5 is ripped up, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, whereupon the tendency of the cap to expand will result in a separation of the meeting edges of the sections thereof, also as shown in the said figure. When the sections have been separated to about the extent shown in Fig. 2, the cap may be readily removed from the mouth of'the bottle, and if the strip is entirely pulled from the sections they are separated completely, as will be understood.
