'Nrreo STATES PATENT BOTTLE-ST'OPPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 265,424, dated October 3, 1882,
Application filed February 4, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, SIDNEY B. KING, of the city of Buffalo, in thecounty of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has reference more particularly to that class of bottle-stoppers in which an eccentric lever attached to a wire bail is employed for holding the stopper down to its seat in the mouth of the bottle.
The object of this invention is to simplify the construction of this class of bottle-stoppers; and my invention consists of the particular construction of my improved bottle-stopper, which will be hereinafter fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lrepresents a perspective view of the neck of abottle provided with my improved stopper. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the wire bail. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the bottle-stopper. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 5 is a view of the bottle with the stopper removed.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in each of the figures.
A represents the stopper; B, the eccentric lever, to which it is attached; (1, the wire bail, to the upper cross-bar, c, of which the leverB is pivoted and D is the ring which encircles the neck of the bottle, and whereby the bail is attached to the bottle. The bail O and ringD are formed of a single piece of wire bent to One end of the wireof which the bail and ring are formed is bent into an eye, 0. The wire extends from this eye'around one halt the circumference of the neck of the bottle, is then turned upward, as shown at f, then horizontally where it forms the pivot c, then downwardly on the opposite side, as shown at g, to and through the eye a, thence around the other halt ot' the circumference of the neck of the bottle to the lower portion of the upright partf of the wire, around which the end of the wire is twisted, as shown at h. In this manner the bail and ring are formed of a single piece of wire, whereby a light, strong, and cheap fastening is produced. The eccentric lever B is pivoted to the horizontal portion 0 of the bail. It is preferably constructed of sheet metal and provided with a longitudinal slot, 1', in which plays the shank of a rivet, j, by which the stopperAis attached to the lever B. The latter is curved so that the distance of the slot 6 from the pivot c of structed of rubber it is constructed in one piece with the marginal flange 0, which bears against the end of the neck of the bottle, as shown. It the head lis constructed of cork, the marginal flange 0 is formed by-a separate disk of rubber placed between the head l and the disk in. The stopper A is attached to the lever B by means of the rivet j in such manner that the stopper plays loosely on the lever. Upon swinging the lever B down so as to close the stopper against the mouth of the bottle the slot of the lever slides over the shank of the rivet j and the eccentric form of the lever tightens the stopper upon its seat. Upon swinging the lever B upward the stopper is lifted from its seat, and can thenbe turned back out of the way. The ring I) is preferably titted loosely on the neck of the bottle, so that it drops down on the same when the stopper is released, whereby the stopper and the parts attached thereto are lowered below the mouth of the bottle, so that the latter is unobstructed when the contents of the bottle are poured out. Upon applying the stopper to the mouth of the bottle and tightening the lever B the ring D is drawn up against the shoulder or collar surrounding the mouth of the bottle.
I claim as my invention-- 1. The combination, with the bail O, of the lever B, pivoted thereto and constructed of sheet metal bent to recede gradually from the fulcrum of the lever, and provided with a longitudinal slot, 5, in its eccentric portion, and a stopper, A, provided with a vertical rivet, j, sliding in the slot z'ot the lever, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, with the disk at, having one or more pointed and barbed studs, n, of a stopper-head, I, secured to the disk at by said stud or studs, substantially as set forth.
Witnesses: SIDNEY B. KlNG.
