MICHAEL J MOIIUGII, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY.
BOTTLE-STOPPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,971, dated December 30, 1890..
Application filed May 14, 1890- Serial No. 351,826. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, MICHAEL J. MOHUGH, of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improved bottle-stop per seeking to provide a sectional bottle-stopper, the sections of which maybe easily fitted together and will be self-securing when fitted together, which stopper may be conveniently inserted in bottles, and will be efficient in use.
The invention consists in certain features of construction, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure l is a sectional view showing the stopper in place in a bottle. Fig. 2 is a detail side view of the body part. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the stopper, and Fig. 4: is a detail side view of the packing.
The bottle-stopper as shown is formed of the main portion or body-section A and the packing-section E, both such parts A and E being constructed as hereinafter described.
The body A is of suitable material, preferably wood, and tapers slightly toward its lower end. At its said lower end the bodyA is provided centrally with a socket or opening B, at the upper end of which is provided a shoulder C. By preference the opening above the shoulder O is extended at D to the upper end of the body A, forming in the top of such body a socket to receive the springtongues forming the expansible corking-tip of the apparatus, which forces the cork into the bottle; but it will be understood that I do not desire to be limited to this socket D, as it may be omitted when a different construction of corking apparatus is employed.
The packing-section E is preferably of rubber or analogous material, and consists of the disk F and the central stem G, the disk F being of slightly-greater diameter than the lower end of the body A, so that it will project beyond the edges of said end, and the stem G being slightly larger than the opening B, andlonger than said opening, so that it will project in use above shoulder C, and expand above said shoulder, as shown.
In applying the section E to the body A the stem G is forced up in opening B until its upper end projects beyond and expands above and over the shoulder O, as shown at g, Fig. 3, the disk F resting flat against the lower end of the body A, as shown in said Fig. 3. By the expansion of the stem G at g above shoulder O the packing-section will be held firmly to the body part A, so that it will not pull out when the stopper is removed from the bottle, and yet so that it can be forcibly withdrawn therefrom when so desired.
When the sections A E are connected, as shown in Fig. 3, and the stopper is forced into the neck of abottle, the projecting edges of the disk F will be criinped up around and against the lower end of the cork and will form a complete closure, as desired.
It will be seen that the construction of socket or opening B,with its upper end shouldered or enlarged, is of the essence of thisinvention, and it will be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the specific construction shown, as the opening B, instead of being enlarged at its upper end by the shouldered formation shown, might be enlarged by flaring it slightly outward toward its upper end to form the portion in which the stem might expand. Obviously, however, the shouldered formation is preferred, as by it the body A has a firmer stronger grasp upon the stem of sect-ion E.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- The improved bottle-stopper herein described, consisting of the body part or main section having in its lower end a socket or opening B, and provided at the upper end of said socket with an enlarged opening or socket, and the packing-section having a disk F and stem G, the stem Gbeing of even diameter throughout and of greater diameter than the socket B, whereby when the stem is forced in said socket B it will expand in the enlarged opening above the said socket, substantially as set forth.
The above specification of my invention signed by me in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
MICHAEL J. MOIIUGII.
