Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OEFIoE.
EDWARD c'LARK, OF NEWARK, NEW JERsEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN BOTTLE-STOPPERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 153,746, dated August 4, 1874; application filed July 11, 1874.
To all whom at may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD CLARK, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Bottle-Stopper, of which the following is a specification:
This invention consists of a stopper for still liquors, made of a spherical or approximately spherical ball, of cast metal, having a wire spring passing transversely through the upper portion, and a packing-disk, of elastic material, with a hole in the middle, stretched over the lower portion, into an annular groove a little above the bottom, which is pressed down airtight into the nozzle by the spring being jointed at one end to a wire fastened to the neck of the bottle, and at the other end sprung under a hook ofsaid Wire, the wire having twisted projections on opposite sides of the neck, extending upward suitably for so connecting the spring. The ball is made of soft metal, or composition of metals, and is cast on the spring.
The contrivance makes a very cheap stopper, for one having permanent connection to the bottle, for continual use.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the stopper, and a bottle to which it is attached. Fig.
2 is a side elevation of the ball; and Fig. 3 is a plan of the elastic washer.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the metal ball; B, the wire spring; 0, the elastic washer, and D the wire fastened around the neck of the bottle for holding the spring, which is jointed or hinged to it at E and hooks to it at F, said wire being so adjusted that the spring has to be pressed down smartly to hook onto it. The hook may be formed either on the spring B or wire D. b is the groove in the ball for receiving the elastic washer, which is applied by stretching the hole 01 over the head 0. It is curved in the upper wall, as'shown at a, to
conform to the shape which the washer assumes when pressed down into the nozzle.
Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The ball A, elastic washer O, springB, and fastening-wire D, combined with a bottle, in the manner described, to form a stopper.
EDWARD CLARK.
