MILK-BOTTLE-STOPPER REMOVER.
removed from milk bottles or the like without splashing or spilling the milk.
A further object is to provide a device of this character which is engageable over the bottle so that a stopper which has been re moved therefrom will be held to have the drippings therefrom fall into the bottle mouth.
Other objects and advantages of the 1nvention will appear in the following description.
The invention consists in the implement hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a vertical section of the upper portion of a milk bottle, the paper stopper therefor, and showing in side elevation my improved device applied to the stopper for removing the same.
Fig. 2 is a similar view with the stopper impaled on the device with the latter engaged upon the bottle. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the device.
As illustrated in the drawings, a device embodying my invention is constructed of a single piece of wire which is formed to provide a central portion of substantially an S-shape comprising two bends or loops 5 and 6 and from which prong and shank elements 7 and 8 extend in opposite directions.
The shank element 8 is straight, or nearly so, from the bend 5 to a bend 9 and thence terminates in a laterally disposed arm 10,
Fig. 3, which is arranged at right angles to the shank part 8 and is advantageously provided with a sharpened extremity 11. The prong 7 is curved as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, having a general direction parallel to the shank part 8 and is flattened and tapered to a sharp point 12.
With the exception of the arm-10 the axes of the aforesaid parts of the device are losated in the same vertical. plane.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 11,
1921. Serial No. 468,789.
The bend or loop 5 is sufficiently open to provide therein a recess 13 adapted to en gage over the bottle as shown in Fig. 2. The other bend or loop 6 is desirably closed, or nearlyso, in order to present the prong 7 substantlally in a transverse plane extending through the center of the loop 5 and parallel to the shank part 8.
For removing a paper disk or stopper 14 Patented A11 9, 1921.
from the mouth recess 15 of a bottle 16, the r 7 device is grasped by its shank and loop portions in the hand of the operator who thereupon pushes the prong into the stopper substantially as represented in Fig. 1. With the prong thus penetrating the stopper, the operator pushes downwardly upon the shank as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1 until the device encounters the bottle at 17 which latter serves as a fulcrum forthe device and the stopper is pried out of the bot-' tle in the continued downward travel of the shank. I I
After the stopper has been thus removed from the bottle the milk may be poured therefrom as required; the device is hooked upon the bottle as representeed in Fig. 2 to retain the stopper above the bottle mouth whereby any milk or cream dripping from the stopper will. enter the bottle.
The function of the arm 10 is to serve in the hand of the operator as a support to maintain the device in a substantially vertical plane. The arm 10, it may be mentioned, also provides an instrumentality for v puncturing a condensed milk can as will be understood from Fig. 3, wherein such a can is indicated by dotted lines.
What I claim, is, 1
1. A device of the character described comprising a piece of wire formed to provide a pointed prong at one end, a shank at the other end and with two reverse bends at about its midlength, one of'said bends affording a recess which is engageable with y the mouth of a bottle to maintain'the device in a substantially vertical position with the I form, said wire extending from such bent portion to provide at one side thereof a prong and at the other side a shank which terminates in an arm disposed in rectangw lar relation to the plane of the bent portion gage the mouth of a bottle to maintain the of the device, one of the loops of said bent device in a substantially vertical position. 10 portion affording a recess longitudinally of Signed at Seattle, Washington, this 6th the device and between the other loop and day of May, 1921.
