UNITED STATES IIJORIAN V. LINDSEY, OI WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA.
BOTTLE CA1.
Application filed January The invention relates to improvements in a bottle cap particularly adapted for use on milk, cream or other such like bottles and an object of the invention is to provide a simply constructed, inexpensive and durable cap which can be readily attached to the bottle or removed therefrom and WhlCh 15 provided with a gate which can be opened and closed as occasion demands to permit of the curing of the liquid or of the sealing of t e bottle to prevent dirt, flies and such like foreign matter from entering the bottle through the neck.
With the above objects in view the invention consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter more particularly described, reference being had to the accompanying drawing in which: I
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the bottle cap applied on the neck of the bottle and in the closed position.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the deviceapplied on the bottle.
Fig. 3 is an inverted perspective view of the cap.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
The body 1 of the cap is in the form of a metallic plate having a diameter slightly larger than the open end of the bottle neck 2.
Milk and cream bottles usually have their upper ends out-flared to provide a more or less semi-circular external rim 3 and they are also provided with an internal ledge 4, the ledge being utilized as a seat for the customary circular cardboard cap (not shown). The diameter of the plate 1 is such that extends somewhat beyond the ledge so that it effectively covers the bottle neck opening.
The plate 1 is supplied with a plurality of outstanding fingers 5 which when the cap is applied to the bottle are bent downwardly around the rim 3 to hold the cap in place. Obviously by spreading these fingers outwardly one can readily remove the cap.
The body of the plate 1 has a substantially V-shaped or segmental portion thereof cut away to provide an outlet opening 6. A gate 7 is pivotally attached by a centrally posi' 14, 1925. Serial No. 2,359.
tioned rivet 8 to the plate and this gate is f of such a shape that when closed as shown in the drawings, it will close the opening 3. The gate underlies the plate and is. fitted with an upstanding finger piece 9 which when the gate is closed, is adapted to enter the notch 10 cut in the plate.
When it is desired to pour milk from a bottle equipped with this cap, it is only necessary to open the gate by swinging the finger piece until it engages the opposite side of the opening 8 remote from the notch 10.
When the gate is closed, the edge thereof carrying the finger piece underlies the adjacent edge of the plate.
In the drawing I have shown a slight air space between the cap and the end 01 the bottle, such being equal to the thickness of the gate. This will eiiectively keep flies, dust and so forth out of the bottle and will allow air to circulate. If it is desired, however, to tightly close the bottle it is only necessary to make the radius of the gate approximately equal to the radius of the ledge 4. The gate will then operate in the ledge and the plate will seat tightly against the end of the bottle.
' What I claim as my invention is The combination with the neck of a bottle, the upper end of the neck being provided with an outstanding rim, of a circular metallic cap normally overlying on the open end of the bottle neck and having a segmental portion thereof cut away to provide a pouring opening and provided. further with a plurality of integrally formed downturnedmarginal resilient fingers adapted to close against the outer face of the rim and detachably hold the cap and agate underlying the cap and pivotally attached centrally to the cap and adapted to close the pouring opening and space the cap from the upper end of the neck to provide an air passage and provided further with an upstanding finger piece adapted in the closed position of the gate to enter a notch provided in the cap.
Signed at Winnipeg, this 20th day of November, 1924.
