E. GAY. DEVICE FOR SEALING BOTTLES.
Patented Oct. 15, 1895 FFICE.
NITED STATES ATENT ELIJAH GAY, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO MARTIN RILEY, OF SAME PLACE.
DEVICE FOR SEALING BOTTLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 547,781, dated October 15, 1895.
mm... filed my 16, 1896. Serial No. 556,130. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ELIJAH GAY, a resident of Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Sealing Bottles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to bottles and the like, and has for its object to provide a sealing device that will prevent any subtraction from or addition to the contents of bottles without the breaking of the seal, the latter being frangible, without injury to .the bottle, and not replaceable without special instrumentalities and skill; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of the neck and head of a bottle with the sealing device applied thereto.
I Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same.
Figs. 3 and 4: are side elevations of modifications of a detail.
5 denotes a cap or cover adapted to fit over the top of the bottle to inclose its mouth and a cork. It extends preferably down near to the shoulder 3. This cover is made of glass or equivalent frangible material and is rigidly connected to the bottle by glass bonds or connections 7. These are applied after the bottle is filled and corked by placing melted glass upon the lower edge of the cap and between it and the neck of the bottle. Drops of the molten glass, two, three, or more in number, thus applied, will effectually bind the cap on the bottle upon the hardening of the glass, which adheres to like material with considerable tenacity. The molten glass can be conveniently dropped or placed in the desired position, when the bottle, having been tightly corked, is held with the mouth down. Any desired number of drops or bonds may be employed, or, if desired, the glass connec tion may be made continuous about the neck of the bottle.
The particular exterior shape of the cap is not material, provided it so covers the mouth of the bottle as to prevent access thereto, and it is preferred that it shall not closely fit the head of the bottle. The construction being such that a close fit is not required, and as the mouth and interior of the cap'is or may be considerably larger than the bottle mouth, head, or neck, the same cap is thereby adapted for use with bottles having heads of different sizes. Further, the cap or cover is not defended from breaking, as it is to a' large extent in case it closely fits the'bottle.
In breaking my cap off, the line of fracture will usually extend to the soldered joint and separate the cap entirely from the bottle; but if not, the adherent fragments can easily be pried off by inserting a suitable metal point between the bottle and cap fragments. Small adherent remnants of the sealing-drops, if any exist, can be refused by a blow-pipe to seal another cap applied to the same bottle. It is proposed to make them of ovoid, spherical, and angular forms, and also to make them of various colors either to please the eye or to indicate the contents of the bottle, as maybe determined.
To get access to the contents of the bottle the cap or its bonds must be broken and removed, and the cork or stopper subsequently removed. The cap or its lower end is preferably made quite thin, So that it may be easily broken and to insure that the cap rather than the glass connections 7 shall be broken in removing the cap, though some of the ad injured, and, further, that the bottle remains corked or stoppered after the breaking of the cap, and that a new cap can be applied and the bottle reused, but not without suitable means for melting glass and for manipulating the molten glass to seal the cap, which means, such as a glass-melting flame, are not within the reach of the general public, as are the means of sealing with wax or plaster-of-paris.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In combination with a bottle or like receptacle a frangible cap covering the mouth and neck of the bottle and having its mouth attached to the bottle below its top by distinct and separate adherent portions of glass, an interior space being provided laterally being witnesses.
ELIJAII GAY.
