Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JULES JEANNOTAT, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN B-OTTLE-FASTENINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 13,266, (lated July 17, 1855.
of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Stopper for Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and
exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specilication, in which- Figure 1 is an external view of a bottle with my improved stopper applied to it. Fig. 2 is a vertical section ofthe same, the plane of section being through the center.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two gures.
The nature of my invention consists in attachingalever to the center of a circular plate, said plate being connected by rods or links to semicircular flanges, which encompass the neck of the bottle just below the bulb. To the circular plate to which the lever is attached there is also attached a circular plate having a cushion formed of india-rubber or other suitable elastic material secured to its under side, and which cushion is pressed down upon or over the mouth of the bottle and released therefrom by operating the lever before mentioned, as will be presently described.
To enable others skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
A represents a bottle having the usual bulb, B, at the upper end of the neck C.
D represents a circular metallic plate, having a lever, E, secured in a slot or opening in its center, lthe lever working on a pin, a, the ends of which are secured in ledges b b on the upper surface of the plate. The lower end of the lever E projects a short distance below the under surface of the plate.
F F represent the semicircular flanges, the ends of which are connected by links or rods c c, the upper ends of which are attached'to the edge of' the plate D, at opposite sides, as shown in Fig. 2. The semioircular flanges F encompass the neck G of the bottle just below the bulb B.
G represents a circular plate, the under surface of which is concave and has secured Within it a cushion, H, formed of india-rubber or othersuitable elastic material. (See Fig. 2.) The upper edge of the plate G has two vertical projections, d d, attached to it at opposite points on its edge, and these projections have each a slot, e, in them, in which pins f f, which are attached to the plate D, are fitted, as shown clearly in Fig. 2. The slots e e allow the plate G a certain degree ot' play or movement up and down.
The platesD G, lever E, and flangesF may be made of malleable cast-iron. The cushion H is pressed iirmlydown upon or over the mouth of the bottle by shoving the lever E in a verti cal position. The lower end of the leverbears upon the upper surface of' the plate G, and the bearing of the plate D is formed by the flanges F F, which are connected to the plate D by the rods or links c, said flanges bearing against the lower edge of the bulb B. The cushion H is removed from the mouth of the bottle by shoving the lever E in a horizontal position and then throwing the two plates over at one side of the bulb by the hand, as
indicated in red, Fig. l, leaving t-he mouth o en.
p'Ihe above invention is extremely simple and effective, and its application will be useful for bottles containing summer drinks, and in all cases where bottles are returned, as the Stoppers addto the value of the bottles, and thereby insure to a certain extent their sate keeping. The first cost will somewhat exceed the ordinary corks, but the expense of wiring is'obviated and my improvement is a permanent xture and far cheaper in the end.
The stoppcrs are attached to and detached from the bottles by merely moving the flanges upward on the rods or links c, so that sufficient space is obtained between the flanges to allow the bulbs to be drawn through.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
Forcing or pressing a cushion, I-I, of indiarubber or other suitable material, over or upon the mouth of the bottle A by means of a lever, E, inserted in a plate, D, which plate D has flanges F F attached to it by rods or links c, the plate D also having attached to it a plate, G, to which the cushion II is secured, the above parts being arranged and applied to the bottle as herein shown, for the purpose set forth.
JULES JEANNOTAT.
