IMPROVEMENT IN STOPPING BOTTLES.
Specification forming part oi' Letters., Patent No. dldl, dated September 59, 1863.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANTON WIEGAND, of the city of Philadelphia, in the State ol' Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Mode of Stopping Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ol the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figures l and 2 are perspective views of a bottle having the improvement applied there to, Fig. l representing the bottle closed and Fig. 2 the same opened; and Fig. 3, a plan view of the under side of the stopping-cap, like letters indicating the same parts when in the dit'- ferent figures.
My invention has for its objects economy of expense and increase of facility in closing and opening bottles used for mineral water, cider,
porter, ale, and other gaseous beverages, and it consists, substantially as hereinafter described and specified, in providing the mouth ends of such bottles with a device consisting of a thumb-screw and an elastic cap or stopper, made adjustable in a swinging bow,which is pivoted to a collar adapted to be readily applied andpermancutl y secured around the neck of the bottle.
In the drawings, A is a common porter-bot tlc; B, the thumb-screw; C, the cap or stopper; D, the swinging bow, and E the collar.
The collar E is a metallic band, made in two separable parts, secured together closely around the neck of the bottle by means of ears c e thereon and small screwbolts c" (It passing through the ears, as seen in Figs. l and 2.
The swinging bow D consists of a piece of metal bent so as to have two parallel portions, d d', extending from a middle portion, di, the extreme end ot' each of the portions d d being formed into an eye or loop, d d, and the middle portion, di, thickened or provided with a boss, d", through which the metallic thumbscrew B is fitted to work in a line parallel with the portions d! d of the bow D. The eye or loop ends of the bowD are attached to the collar E by means of small screw-bolts c: c, so that the latter shall serve as iixed pivots for the swinging frame or bow D.
The cap or stopper C is a circular plate or disk of metal, made concave on its underside,
and provided with guides or perforated ears c c', through which the portions el d of the bow-D pass loosely. The concave side of the cap is filled by a ilat disk or ring of india-rubber, c, or other elastic waterproof material, and the same permanently fastened therein by means of a ilatheaded rivet, c", in its center or otherwise.
Operation: The two screwbolts c c in the collar E being withdrawn, the two scmicircu lar portions ofthe latter are then sprung around the neck of the bottle, and again secured together by means ot' tl'ic same screw-bolts c c', as represented in Fig. 2. 1 rPhe bottle being now iilled with the beverage which it is desired to confine under pressure, the bow D, having its screw Il and cap C attached thereto as described, is brought up into a position parallel with thc neck of the bottle, thc cap C placed concentrically upon the mouth of the latter, and the thumb-screw B rotated down upon it sufliciently to ca'use an ellfective indentation of the elastic or under side ot' the cap G by the moutlrcdg'e of the bottle, and thus securely eonifine the contents of the lat ter under the usual pressure to which such iluids are subject, as seen in Fig. l. 0n opening the bottle afterward, the cap C should be held down by the operator7 s thumb and iin ger, while the screw B is being rotated upward for the purpose. rPlien it, together with the screw and bow, can with facility be turned quickly to one side, as represented in Fig. 2, and the contents of the bottle poured out.
Bottles of porter, ale, refill each bottle about twice per week#using a new cork each time-and thus consume over one hundred eorks per year for each bottle, which, at the present price of corks-forty cents per grossis over twenty-seven cents per year, setting aside the loss of bottles broken in driving the corks, whereas the described improved device for the purpose can be made and applied for ten or twelve cents each, and they will last, with reasonable care, for several years, and consequently will prove to be quite economical in comparison with the usual bark corks heretofore used for the purpose, and will also entirely obviate the loss heretofore incurred from the frequent breaking of the bottles in driving the corks.
I do not desire to claim, broadly, the use of a serew and eap for stopping bottles, as the same have been used for stopping preserve- Jars.
I am also aware that in the patent of Jules Jennottat a lever, cushion, plates, rods, and ilanges have been Combined and applied to bottles for the same purpose. Therefore do not desire to claim anything iu the said patent; but,
Having thus fully described my improved mode of stopping bottles and pointed out its utility, what I Claim as new therein of my inetree
