BOTTLE-STOPPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,928, dated December 11, 1883.
' Application filed August 17, 1883. (No model.)
T0 @ZZ whom it. may concern,.-
Be it known that I, Aivros F. PARKHURsT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kewanee, in the county of Henry and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and'useful Improvements in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, making part of this specication.
`My invention relates to that class of bottlepers,77 wherein the valve or stopper proper closes upward, and is operated by a bail or handle projecting up in the neck of the bottle.
rIhe novelty consists in the combination,y with the neck of a bottle having a slightlycontracted throat at or near its middle lengthwise, of aninternal stopper-plug having a looped wire bail rigidly fastened by one end to the plug or valve, and having the other end free, whereby the bail becomes a spring to hold the plug or valve in either its closed or` open position, as will be herewith set forth and specifically claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical central section of the upper part or neck of a bottle provided with my improved stopper, showing the valve open. corresponding view, showing the valve closed. Figs. 3 and 4 are modifications in the springbail.
A represents the neck of a bottle whose throat is slightly contracted at or near the point of the dottedline a. rIhe valve or plug B, I prefer to make of the two integral or separate disks b, with an intermediate projecting rubber disk, as is common in this class of Stoppers.
Extending .up from the valve B, and rigidly secured thereto by one end, is the spring-bail ,0, which may be of either of the forms shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. This bail is formed of wireso bent and doubled back in the neck of the bottle that its upper end forms a graspingloop-for drawing the f stopper up to its seat, while its free end serves as a spring, which,
Fig. -2 is aactingagainst the throat of the neck, in connection with that part of the outward bend of the bail just above its point of connection and opposite said free end, serves to hold the valve in either its open or closed position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The spring is sufciently yielding to pass throughv the contracted part of the `throat of the neck, while the upper bend forming the grasping-loop is` sufficiently large to prevent the stopper falling entirely into the bottle.
In Figs. l and 2 I have shown the bail bent in substantially the form of a figure 8; but the forms shown in Figs. 3 and 4 serve the same purpose,'and I consider them as equivalents.
The advantage of having a stopper which can be held either open or closed, as above, is that it can be used with still liquids as well as gaseous or aeratedliquids, and when the bottle is tilted to pour out the contents there is no liability of the stopper accidentally rer seating itself.
I do not limit myself to the shape of the bail,
nor to a bottle with a contracted portion in its throat or neck, for a spring-bail properly fitted intoa straight neck would serve to suspend the stopper adjustably by the frictional contact caused by the spring in the bail. I do, however, limit myself here to a bail attached rigidly to the stopper by one end only and l with the other end free.
- Having thus fully described my invention, I claim- Y rEhe combination, with the neck of a bottle,
of an internal stopper provided with a laterally-yielding spring-bail formed of a continuous piece of wire, rigidly secured by one end to the stopper and located in and so arranged as to act inconjunction with the neck of the bottle to hold the stopper suspended in either an open or closed position, substantially as described.
