Be it known that I, JOSEPH -V. HULL, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of the city of New York, county of Kings,

5 borough of Brooklyn, Stateof New York,

have invented certain new -and useful -Imp fOvements' in- Receptacle Closures, Case 1%) of which the following is arspecificawith a cap adapted to be locked in place on the jar or receptacle which cap is very much a.

- more economical than those heretofore in use on jars of thischaracter. By my invention I also provide'atongue whereby the cap may be. readilyiremoved from the receptacle without'the use of any implement.

Figure 1 shows my cap in place on a glass tumbler; F ig z"? 'sho'w s *a, cr'oss-section-of the same; and vFig. 3 is an-enlarged illustrasealed. w p I ,In the drawings in which like letters refer ,to like parts A represents-a glasstumbler or receptacle in which, as shown',- the receptacle 'is of a tapering form that is'its outer surface gradually increases in diameter until the top-of the receptacle is ameter than the base, provided at its top with any shoulder except such as is formed .by the gradual increase in diameter of the receptacle. i

is a cap which is made to conform to the form of the top of the receptacle, and

is corrugated so as toform grooves or beads 40 G which. extend entirely around the cap near its edge. The cap B a downwardly extending flange C, and depending from the downwardly extending flange C is a skirt D, a tr' -ter, Icgonnected with the flange C by a bead is a tongue extending from the lower edge of the beading surface E and not connected with the skirt D except through the I medium of the heading E.
