UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,

IMPROVED AIR-TIGHT CORK.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,742, dated December 1, 1863.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that L'Jotnv S. DAVISON, of Cranberry, in the county of Middlesex, in the Stateof New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Rendering Corks Airlight; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying draw-" ings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification, in which.
Figure 1 is a view of an ordinarily-formed cork-stopper with my invent-ion applied to its center. Fig. 2 is aview. of a jar-cork formed in two sections with my invention applied to the lower one.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
This invention relates to an improvement in cork-stoppers of all descriptions. Theobject of the invention is to produce a cork that will be impervious to the air. This object is attained by the application of a layer of gutta. percha or other suitable material to the cork, which will preventthe air from passing through its pores.
To enable those skilled in the artto fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
Figure 1 represents acork which is composed of two sections. A is the upper section, and B the lower'one. On one of these sections a layer of gutta-percha or other suitable substance is placed, as shown at O in Fig. 2, and while warm the other section is applied to it,
thus cementing them firmly together, the guttabe formed in two'or more pieces, and a layer' of guttapercha or other propersubstance put between each piece; orit canbe applied tothe top or bottom of the cork instead of dividing it. Thislayer of gutta-percha is of greater circumference than the cork itself, as shown at d in the two figures, so, that when the cork is pressed intoa jar-or bottle this edge will fit close round the neck, and thus render it air-tight there also.
Stoppers of cork of all shapes and descriptions can be made in this way bothfor vials, cans, and jars. It will be found very handy and convenient when applied to fruit-preser vmission of air) to stoppers of cork, so as to render them impervious to the air in the different ways herein described,.or by other means substantially the same, the whole being arranged substantially as and' for the purposes set forth.
