N.1. xF. BORNE ETAL BOTTLE STOPPER Filed Mair. 2, 1922 Patented Mai'. 13, 1923.
JOHN' F. BORNE .AND GEORGE A. GALLOWAY, 0F BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
BOTTLE STOPPAER.
Application filed March 2, 1922.
T0 all 'Lu/om t may concern.
Be it known that we, JOHN F. BORNE and GEORGE A. GALLowAY, citizens of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county ot Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful lmprovements in Bottle Stoppers, of which the following is a specification.
rIhis invention relates to a stopper for hermetically sealing bottles and similar containers, and more particularly stoppers of this type having an elastic plug which is expanded against the neck-wall of the bottle by compressing the plug longitudinally.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved stopper of this character having simple and reliable means for preventing its plug from slipping and turning in the neck of the container in expanding it.
ln the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the stopper in position in the neck of a bottle. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the washer interposed between the plug and the clamping nut. Figure 3 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Similar characters oit' reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
10 indicates the body or plug of the stopper which is constructed of rubber or similar elastic or expansible material, and which is of the proper size to it the neck of the bottle 11. Passing centrally and loosely through this plug is a. 4bolt 12 having a head 13 at its lower end, while its upper end is provided with a suitable cla1nping member, such as a wing nut 111. A washer 15 may be interposed between the head of said bolt and the bottom of the plug, and a washer or cap plate 16 is arranged between the top of said plug and the clamping nut, as shown in Fig. 1. After inserting the plug into the neck of the bottle, the nut is screwed down on the bolt 12 to f compress the plug and expand it against the wall of the neck to form a tight joint.
Means are provided for preventing the plug 10 from slipping or turning in the bottle-neck during the operation of tightening and expanding it, this slippage being liable to occur particularly if the neck or the plug be wet. The preferred means for holding Serial No. 540,522.
the plug against such movement consist ot one or more arms or finger pieces 17 depending from the edge of the washer 16 and overhanging the upper end of the bottleneck. As shown, these stop-arms are preierably arranged on diametrically-opposite sides of said upper washer. By grasping these arms with one hand while tightening the clamping nut 14 with the other, the part or washer 16 is firmly held against turning and owing to the frictio-nal contact between this washer and the plug, the latter is also effectually held against turning or slipping, thereby permitting the plug to be properly expanded within the neck of the bottle to hermetically seal the same. These holding arms also prevent turning of the plug in loosening tle nut, thus facilitating the release of the If desired, the underside of the washer 16 which contacts with ,the plug may be roughened or providedv with projections, as shown at 18 in Figs. 1 and 3. These proj ections embed themselves in the top of the plug and assist in preventing it from turn-` ing relatively to the washer and the bottle. In tightening the nut or clamping member 14, the bolt 12 slides upwardly inthe opening of the washer 16. To facilitate this operation and prevent binding or undue friction between the bolt and the edge of said opening, the latter is smooth and circular and the bolt is cylindrical, las shown, or at least that part oi' the bolt which passes through the opening is of that form.
We claim as our invention:
1. A bottle stopper, comprising an expa-nsible plug, a bolt extending through said plug and provided at its upper end with a clampino' member, the lower end of said bolt having ahead engaging the lower end of said plug, a cap-plate interposed between said clamping member and the upper end of said plug and having a linger-piece, and means carried by said cap-plate and interlockingwith said plug for holding the latter from rotation in the bottle-neck in tightening said clamping member.
2. A bottle-stopper, comprising an expansible plug, a bolt extending through said plug and provided at its upper end with a clamping member, the lower end of said bolt having a head engaging the lower end of said plug, a' cap-plate interposed between said clamping member and the upper end of said plug and provided with a lingerpieoe, said Cap-plate having a circular opening for the passage of said bolt and means interlocking With said plug for holding' the latter from rotation in the neck of the bottle in tightening said clamping member', the portion of said bolt which passes through l0 said opening being cylindrical.
