M. ALLAND RECEPTA'GLE CLOSURE Filed Jan. 30, 1926 Patented Sept. 21, 1925.
MAURICE ALLAND, OF ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY.
RECEPTACLE CLOSURE.
Application filed January 30, 1926. Serial No. 84,876.
The object of the invention is to provide improvements relating to closures forv such handled in retail quantities, and the socalled cap, or disc closure, that is used with little or no exception, the present invention has for an object the provision of a rela tively small button, readily formed of inexpensive material, which is normally inserted in one direction through a previously pro vided, preferably eccentric aperture in such a cap, and thereafter is positively prevented from being withdraw from said aperture, due to the closing of the sides of the aperture about a. restricted. portion of the button, without mutilating or at least weakening said cap or closure.
Another object, therefore, is to provide an integral button for this purpose, co1nprising a head upon one end, much larger than the diameter of the aperture provided for the button in a'bottle cap, the other end of said button being slightly smaller than the diameter of said aperture, and comprising a peripheral flange beneath which ones finger-nails can easily enter for gripping the same, the central portion of said button comprising two intermediate sections, that one nearer to the larger head having a diameter equal to that of the aperture in the cap, and terminating in the direction towards the nail-engaging head in an abrupt radial flange, larger than said first section and adapted to be quickly forced through said aperture, by momentarily stretching but not tearing the apertures side walls, and
the second of said intermediate sections thence tapering from said flange towards acter above referred to; Fig. 2 is a top'plan view of the same; Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical diametrical section of the closure and button operatively united; Fig. 4: is a side elevation of the button per se; and Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the same.
Referring to the drawings, the upper port1on 1 of a bottle is shown as comprising a cylindrical flange 2, terminating down wardly in a peripheral plane shoulder 8, surrounding the usual axial bore 4, through which the liquid contents are adapted to be inserted and removed from the bottle. It is the usual practise to bridge the top of such a bottle with a disc closure 5, commonly known as a cap, and there have been through the said disc closure and eccentric ally positioned with respect to the center of the same. The button or knob, shown in detail in Figs. 4 and 5, comprises upon its normally lower portion an enlarged head 7 adjacent to which head the said button comprises a relatively more slender cylindrical shank portion 8, terminating upwardly in an abrupt radially projecting flange 9. Continuing still upwardly, said button tapers at 10 in any desired configuration, until its surface abruptly meets a radially pro jecting circumferentially extending flange 11, which forms a manually engageable head of less diameter than that of the flange 9, and of the same or preferably less diameter than the cylindrical shank portion 8.
In the operation of this invention the disc closure or cap is provided with the aperture 6 above mentioned, and one of said buttons is either manually or automatically (by properly designed machinery) forced through said aperture with the head 11 pre ceding, said head passing through the aper ture partly or entirely out oftouch with its walls. When the flange 9 reaches the aperture and passes rapidly therethrough, the aperture sides are quickly deflected and thus sprung out of their normal plane relationship, and spring back into the position shown in Figs; 1 and 8, upon the passage therethrough.
of said flange. The aperture sides, which would be permanently stretched and perhaps mutilated by a slow passage of the flange 9 thereby, are in no Way afiected when the button is thus quickly inserted Furthermore, the Width of the shank 8 is slightly greater than the thickness of the cap closures 5, inorder that the latter When reaching the head 7 Will have passed freely beyond the flange't), and the material of the cap will be entirely released therefrom.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. The combination of a disc closure having an aperture, With a button normally extending through said aperture, said button havin a head it on one end 0 era'tive to a. r. i y 1 U prevent passage or the button througn LHE aperture in the opposite direction, a manually engagea'ble head upon the other end 01 said button, and an intermediately positioned flanged operative to prevent removal of the button from the aperture in the direction of said first-named head.
aperture, with a button having a shank portion positioned in said aperture, ahead upon one end 0t said shank portion larger than said aperture, the other end of said shank portion terminating in a peripheral flange: adapted to be passed quickly through said aperture, and operative to prevent removal through said aperture in the opposite d rection, and a manually engageable head otno greater diameter than said shank port-ion carried by the opposite end of said button.
In testimony whereof 1, hereto afiix my signature.
