i JEREMIAH nnwmforonIcAGdiimmoIs.
- BOTTLE-CAP rnnfnnisrnnsnn Len-n SPR ADE Be it known that I, JEREMIAH ERWIN, a
citizen of .the United States, and a resident Cap Fluid Dispenser and Spreader ;and I do,
ofthe city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofv lllinois, have inventedcertain newand useful Improvements in a Bottlehereby declare that the following is a full, clear and exact description of the same, reference. being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals ofreference marked'thereon; which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates more particularly to a bottle cap fluid-dispenser and spreader in which the bottle cap is adapted to pro 7 vide'the spreading surface and in which the fluid is dispensed from the bottle through an aperture in the cap which is closed by spring controlled means.
In bottle caps of this type as heretofore constructed the springs controlling the closing of the aperture were quite complicated and of such construction that they were soon deteriorated by the action of the fluid in the bottle and failed to effectually close the aperture.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a bottle cap having an aperture therein which is closed by spring controlled means.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a cover for a fluid container having a spring controlled aperture therein and having a portion of the cover adapted to'be used for spreading the fluid.
It is an important object of this invention to provide an apertured cover for a container having means for closing the aperture, said means being operatedby a single wire leaf spring secured within the cover.
Other and'further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the drawings and specification. The invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.
On the drawings:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a bottle having a cap embodying the principles of this invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary rear elevation of a bottle having a cap embodying the principles of this invention. 7
Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Specification of Letters Batent. I Fatahy I this invention.
Fig. 6 is a sectionon line 6%,6 of 3.;
Fig. .7Vis'a detail showinga method of at taching the aperture closing ball to theleaf-1 pri g.
As shown on drawings i r vThe referencenumerall indicatesia con; tamer having an e ternal-flange Z at thetop thereof. {A cap. 3,; having an aperture 4 and a flat surfaced portion 5', is secured to the flange, 2 bya clamping ring 6,.and an air-Q. tight joint is assured by the use of a packing- 7 between the clamping ring 6 and the flange 2. The aperture a is closed-by means'of a ball 8, which is releasably held in position in the aperture by a wire leaf spring 9 which is secured inside the cap 3 and opposite the aperture by brazing or other suitable means. The leaf spring 9 consists of a straight spring wire bent upwardly to form a bight 10,. which serves to force the ball 8.
into the aperture 4. The side of the bight 10, which is opposite the aperture 4, is bent to conform to the casing 3, with which it is in contact. Internal projections 11 on the cap 3 serve to prevent the spring 9 from being displaced laterally. It will be seen from the above construction that the spring 9 and the ball 8 are secured only to the cap 3, a featurewhich makes possible the removal of the cap 3 without displacement of or injury to the spring or ball.
The operation is as follows:
downwardly the fluid contained there in will flow into the cap 3. [To dispense the fluid (as glue, mucilage etc.) from the bottle the ball 8 is pressed against the surface on which When the topof the bottle l is. tilted spring aperture. closing means embodyi it is desired to place the fluid. This pressure on the ball8 causes it to recede into the cap 3, thus opening the aperture 4 and permitting the fluid to'escape. The fiat surface 5 may then be used to spread the fluid evenly over the surface on which it is poured. As soon as the pressure is removed from the ball 8 the action of the leaf spring 9 forces the ballback into the aperture thus sealingthe bottle. Due to the shape and peculiar arrangement of the leaf spring 9, the fluid does not adhere to it and interfere with its action. I
I am aware that numerousdetails of concap closing said bottle,"a portion of said cap being flattened to provide a plane surface oblique to the axis ofsaid bottle and at one side thereof, an aperture in the curved surface of said cap, a valve for closing said aperture, aspring for holding said valve in closing position, said spring having a portion attached to the inner Wall of the cap, a portion attached to the valve and at an angle to the first named portion and a portion connecting the said two portions and forming acompound curve,all the portions ofisaidspring being in one plane, the flattened portion of said cap being on r p the side of'said aperture opposite the bottle.
2. In" combination, a bottle, a domeshaped cap closing said bottle, a portion of said cap being flattened to provide a plane surface oblique to the axis of said bottle and at one side thereof, an aperture in the curved'surface of said {cap, a valve for closing said aperture, a spring for holding said valvein closing position, said spring having a portion attached to the inner wall of the cap,'a portion-attached to the valve and at an angle to the first named portion and a portion connecting'the said two portions and forming a compound curve, all the portions of said spring being in one plane, the flattened portion of said cap being on the side of said aperture opposite the bottle, and indentations in the cap at each, side. of said spring to assist in securing the spring in place. V In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
