I One of the objects of my inventionis to 1 provide a bottle closure particularly designed for milk bottles and adapted to be frictione ally positioned thereon, said closure having 1 a pouring spout and a weight controlled lid adapted to be opened whenthe bottle is tilted.

A further object of my invention tolpro *vide a bottle closure having a gasket adapted to be frietionallypositionedion the bottle so as to produce an air tight closure and further provided with a normally closed flanged lid having one or more Weights whereby said lid may be opened to different degrees upon 20 the tilting of thebottle.

Depending from the flange 8 area series of tongues 10, 11 suitably spaced and adapted *toride over the bottle bead and lock the closure in position onthe neck of the bottle.

The plate 7 is usually of light metal with the result'that the tongues 10, 11 snap over the bottle" bead thus frictionally locking the closure. y

Having shown and described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A bottle closure comprising a plate having an annular flange anda plurality of depend ing tongues frictionally engaging the mouth of a bottle, a pouring spout formed with said plate, the front wall of said spout being higher than the rear wall thereof, a flanged lid normally closing said spout, said lid having a rear extension bent backwardly on itself forming a pivotal connection for a pintle, spaced ears on each, side of said pivotal connection, a pintle or rod passing through said ears, said rod being bent downwardly and in-.

wardly toward the neck of said bottle and Weights carried at the ends of said pintle or rod.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
