Specification of Letters rat eat.
Patented Sept. 1, 1914.
Application filed September so, 1912. Serial No. 723,017.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the Uni ed States, residing at \Vaterbury, in the county of New Haven 5 and State of Connecticut, have invented a caps and more particularly to certain im-' new and useful Improvement in Bottle- Caps, of which the following is a specification.
" This invention relates generally to bottle provements upon the bottle cap patented to me December 10, 1907, No. 873,646.
The object of the present invention is to improve theeonstruction of cap and lever covered by the patent referred to, said improvements consisting in arranging a bearing sleeve fixed in its position and avoiding the tendency to roll, and the improvement consists also in so constructing the lever that at the completion of its locking operation it will snap into position with the handle against the side of the bottle and the head of the lever beneath the ends of the contracting ring, the curved portion of the lever head bearing against the bearin sleeve scribed, and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings forming a. part of this specification: Figure 1 is a side view of a bottle cap embodying my improvements, said cap being applied to a bottle and locked thereon. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view showing a portion of the cap and illustrating; the manner of stiffening and fixing the position of the bearing sleeve. Fig. 3 is a face view of the cap. the bearing sleeve being shown in section. Fig. 4 is an end view of the fastening lever, and. 5 is a face view taken" from the rear. Fig. 6 is a rcar view showing the crimp" in rear part of ring. i
In making my improved bottle ap I make the cap portion A, and slotted portion A, substantially the same as heretofore. The bearing sleeve I3, however, which is arranged at the front of the slotted portion is constructed with flattened ends upon the upper side thereof, the flattening operation being accomplished by the proper shaping of the dies for shaping the bearing sleeve B. The clamping ring D, is of the usual construction and is provided with the usual hooked end D which are enga ed by the curved and converging sides of t e head of the lever E, and it willbe noted that the inner or central member E is curved inwardly or reaiwardly a certain distance as shown in Fig. 4, the purpose of said inward or rearward curve being to throw this member beneath the hooked members D, as most clearly shown in Fig. 1, and by reference to Fig. 5 it will be noted that the converging sides are spread slightly as shown at E so that when the lever is thrown down to its locked position as shown in r ig. 1, the ends of the clamping ring can have a slight outward or expanding movement simultaneous with the snapping of the member E, therebeneath thus locking the lever and holding the same firmly against the bearing sleeve B. A quick and easy opening or unfastening of the cap however is not interfered with. I-Ieretofore there was a sl'mht tendency of the bearing sleeve to roll upwardly incidental to the rapid opening and closing of the lever, and this rolling up of the bearing sleeve tended to take it away from the lever and thereby allow the lever to lay obliquely instead of a vertical position but by stifi'ening the ends of the bearing sleeve by flattening the same this tendency to roll is completely avoided, consequently the position of the bearing sleeve with relation to the curved head of the lever is fixed and the vertical position of the lever is thereby maintained. It will thus be seen that I provide an im proved construction of bottle cap which will accomplish the objects hereinbefore referred to.
In Fig. 6 I have shown the ring I) with a central crimp I) at the rear thereof which holds the ring against shifting or lateral movement and thereby holds the hooked ends of said ring directly beneath the center of the bearing sleeve when the lever is locked, and thus always holds the lever in proper position against the bearing sleeve.
What I claim is 1. A bottle cap comprising a slotted apron,
hearing sleevv, contracting ring and lever, sleeve, the inner end of said lever head he the ends of the bearing sleeve being flattened in; curved t0 engage the under side of said 10 prevent rolling, said ring having i1 crimp. hooked ends when said lever is turneddown.
