'OILER-TIIP FOR BOTTLES OR CANS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 537,111, dated April 9, 1 895.

Application filed January 10, 18 95 To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES CARROLL HEN- DERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Jamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented certain new aud useful Improvements in Oiler-Tips for Bottles or Cans; and I do declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of my invention is to provide bottles, cans and similar vessels having a small neck or opening, with a cheap stopper, that may be readily converted into an oiler tip or used for similar purposes where small quantities of fluids are desired to be discharged.

The improvement consists of a stopper made of rubber, or part rubber and part of metal or other material, having an elastic or pressible bulb above the top of the bottle, and provided with a large air chamber within the bulb, also a closed tip that may be cut 0E when it is desired to convert the stopper into an oiler tip, all of which will be fully understood by this specification and the accompanying drawings, in'whicl1 Figure 1 shows a common glass bottle with stopper, embodying my invention in cross section. Fig. 2 shows stopper in two parts. Fig. 3 shows stopper fitted over mouth of bottle. Fig. 4 shows stopper with plug in bottom to prevent the contents entering stopper when in transit. Fig. 5 shows stopper as used for oiler tip. p

In the drawings, A represents a'glass bottle; B, the opening made in common form (but may be a can or other vessel having a suitable opening to receive stopper). This bottle is provided with my improved stopper or oiler. tip, shown in Fig. 1 in cross section. Thisstopperis preferably made of rubber, but may be part of metal or other substance Serial No. 534,440. (No model.)

if desired, it it has a pressible bulb or air chamber within.

0 is the oiler tip.

D is the part that enters the bottle as shown and should be of suitable size to fill the orifice closely so as not to be easily displaced.

E is the bulb.

I is the air chamber within.

F is the cone.

G is the apex which is made to close the top of the oiler tip when used as a stopper and which is cut off to convert the stopper into an oiler tip as shown at g, Fig. 5.

In Fig. 3, the lower part of the stopper is made to go over the mouth of the bottle, the lower part 0' being made heavier to clasp under the rim of the bottle asshown.

When in transit it is sometimes desirable that the oil or other contents of the bottle should not come into the bulb, and this is prevented by the plug a, which may have a fiat head to cover the whole bottom of the stopper.

This stopper is found very useful medicine dropper.

Having described my invention, what I consider as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is p As a new article of manufacture, a stopper made substantially as shown, of an integral piece having a pressible bulb above the bottle or can, a tip at its outer end adapted to be out off to convert said stopper into. an oiler tip or medicine dropper substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I now subscribe my name in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES O. HENDERSON.
