BOTTLE-CLOSURE.
Specification of Iietters Eatent.
Patented net. 5, rain.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ABEL H. Bnnsnovn, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and ALFRED WETZIG, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, and residents of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Closures, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to bottle closures, and the object of this improvement is to provide a simple and effective means for closing bottles, and is especially adapted for use in closing milk bottles.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed. a
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which,
Figure 1 is a plan view of a bottle closure embodying our invention, Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same, Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 33 in Fig. l, and Fig. 4 is a view, inperspective, of one of the bottle neck engaging arms.
The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the accompanying drawing comprises a cap 5 having a downwardly projecting lateral flange 6 and a handle 7, the latter being provided with a constricted portion 8 eXtended through the central part of said cap 5. On the inner side of the cap 5 is a disk spring 9 secured on the constricted portion 8 by means of a riveted end 10. Under the handle portion '7 on the constricted portion 8 thereof and on top of cap 5 is a spring member 11 secured firmly at one of its ends with its other end upwardly curved forming a lock. Under the lock end of the member 11 is removably held a sharp pointed instrument 12 adapted for use in opening the milk bottle or the cork from other bottles.
In the top sides of flange 6 are a plurality of perforations in which are mounted bottle neck engaging arms 13. Each of said arms is provided wlth a head 14 which is disposed in cap 5 between the under side thereof and disk spring 9. The shoulders on head 14 prevent the arms 13 from passing out of the perforations in flange 6 and the sharp bend just outside of flange 6 prevents the arms from moving into cap 5, as will be readily understood. The tension on the spring 9 normally maintains the heads 1% against the under side of cap 5 and when the device is applied to a bottle said spring normally maintains the lower end portions of arms 13 resilient against the bottle to lock the device in position.
Secured in the lower side of the cap on gaging the lower edge of flange 6 is a disk 15 provided to prevent the bottle from interfering with the action of spring 9. The disk 15 is provided with a flange 16 which is pressed into flange 6 with suflicient force to frictionally lock it in position. Flange 6 is preferably of a comparatively soft material and the flange 16 of a harder material so that any rough portions on the edges of flange 16 will lock themselves in flange 6 upon disk 15 being fitted into the cap.
While we have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying our invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. We, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail ourselves of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A bottle closure comprising a cap; bottle engaging arms extending laterally from said cap; heads on said arms; and a disk spring secured to the central part of said cap and having its edge portion resting against said heads, substantially as described.
2. A bottle closure comprising a cap having lateral perforations near its upper side; a bottle neck engaging arm extending through each perforation into said cap; a head on each of said arms on the inner side of said cap and adapted to prevent removal of said arm from said perforation; and a disk spring secured in said cap against the under side of said heads, substantially as described.
3. A bottle closure comprising a cap having lateral perforations near its upper side; a bottle neck engaging arm extending through each perforation into said cap; a
head on each of said arms on the inner side names to this specification in the presence of of said cap and adapted to prevent removal tWo subscrlblng Witnesses. r
of said arm from said erforation' a disk spring secured in said cag against tiie under i i side of said heads; and a disk spaced below said disk spring in said cap, substantially as Witnesses:
described. JOSHUA R. H. Form,
In testimony whereof We have signed our HELEN S. LILLIs.
