Definitions
- the invention can obviously be made of a material such as knife steel so that the remover could be used for removing those sheet metal closures which are frequently removably applied to receptacles, and are removed by forcing them off the receptacle.
- One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a practical, efiicient and simple remover for bottle-closures, this preferably being done by making all parts thereof from one piece of sheet metal.
- Another object is to provide a special construction for the remover which lends itself more readily to the use for which the re mover is particularly adapted, as in remow ing paper bottle-closures.

From the cross section, Fig. 3, it will be seen that the barbs 12 are laterally bent rela tively to the longitudinally axis thereof, or may be said to beti'visted relatively to the plane of the piercing-member.

vices which are in use to some extent for the purpose of removing the paper closing disks which seal the mouths of milk bottles or the like, by means of a piercing member for the disk. although the invention can obviously be made of a material such as knife steel so that the remover could be used for removing those sheet metal closures which are frequently removably applied to receptacles, and are removed by forcing them off the receptacle. One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a practical, efiicient and simple remover for bottle-closures, this preferably being done by making all parts thereof from one piece of sheet metal. Another object is to provide a special construction for the remover which lends itself more readily to the use for which the re mover is particularly adapted, as in remow ing paper bottle-closures.
These being among the objects of the present invention, the same consists of certain features of construction and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described, and then claimed with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating one embodiment of the invention, in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the device;
2 a plan;
Fig. 3 is a section on line ITIIII, Fig. 1, transversely of the piercing-member;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the device;
and
Fig. 5 is a sectional view, showing how the device is applied to a paper closure in order to remove it from the bottle.
The drawings show but one of the number of forms in which the present invention may be embodied, but the structure, shown in the form now preferred by me, consists of a sheetmetal body-portion 10. which is preferably in the form of a circular disk having a diameter approximating that of the diameter of the mouths of th customary milk or cream'bottles.
The body-portion 10 is provided with a piercing-member 11, which has a head with two barbs 12, 12. so that said head is shaped like the head of an arrow, said head being connected with the body-portion 10 by a neck 13. ihe piercing-member is preferably formed by striking it up from the ma terial of the body-portion 16 so that a hole 1 is formed in the body-portion of substantially the same shape as the piercing-member. and the said member is then bent away from the plane of the body-portion 10. From the cross section, Fig. 3, it will be seen that the barbs 12 are laterally bent rela tively to the longitudinally axis thereof, or may be said to beti'visted relatively to the plane of the piercing-member.
A suitable handle 15 is provided for ma nipulating the bottle-closure remover, and preferably such handle is of lJ-shape, approximately and it is formed preferably by striking it up out of the material of the body-portion 10, so as to leave a U-shaped hole 16 corresponding substantially with the shape of the ll shaped handle.
In the preferred construction shown it will be seen that the piercing-member is formed by removing it from one-half of the bodyportion 10, while the handle 15 is formed by removing it from the other half. As the U-shaped handle is struck up from within the disk-shaped body-portion in such proportions relative thereto as to leave parts of the body-portion, the original size and shape of the disk is maintained. Such construction will dispose the piercing-member 11 and the handle 15 in the same plane vertically, or transversely of the body-member, the piercing-member being connected with the body member along the bending line at 17, while the handle is connected therewith along the bending line at 18. The arrangement shown is such that the arms of the handle span the neck 13 of the piercing-member, the legs of the handle being widely separated edgewise from the piercing member so as to leave considerable stock of the disk 10 around the piercing member to give it sufficient supportand other obvious advantages.
When the device is made of sufficiently heavy sheet metal although the metal is not necessarily so heavy that the device itself would not be light'a very simple, practical, efficient and ornate device for the purpose intended is provided.
From Fig. 5 it will be seen how the device is used for removing paper disks from milk or like bottles. It is only necessary to center when the disk is lifted from the bottle the barbs 12 Will bear upwardly on solid, and not perforated, parts of the disk. The lateral bending of the barbs tends to more surely remove the disk from the bottle if the disk be soft. As preferably the body-portion 10 corresponds substantially in size to v the size of paper disk to be removed, a more perfect recloslng oi the bottle is assured, as the said. body will press substantially upon the whole area of the paper disk. The device is preferably made of sheet metal With the parts stamped or struck up, the whole device being nickel-plated or enameled, or suitably finished, in order to make it attractive, and it is of course obvious that if it were made of blade or knife steel so as to adapt it for removing removable sheet metal tops it would be probably a more durable. and expensive article.
It is obvious that the invention is tible to modification without departing from the scope of the claim.
Vi hat I claim as new is:
A remover for bottle-closures, comprising a sl1eet-metal disk-shaped body-portion, an
arrow headed closure piercing member struck up in one direction from one-hall ol the body-portion, and a U-shaped handle struck up in opposite direction from within the said body portion out 01" the other hall. of said body-portion, the balance of the stock of the body-portion remaining in disk-form, the legs of said handle being spaced edgewise away from said piercing member and a substantial portion of the disk-shaped bodyportion directly adjoining the piercing niemher, so that the handle distantly straddles and isv in one plane with said piercing member.
