Description

STATES nTnNT OFFICE.
IVI PROVED SELF-ACTING DECANTER-STOPPER.
Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,124, dated May 29, 1866.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, LOUIS LOEFFLER, of East Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State ot' Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Self-ActingDecanter-Stopper; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, otl which- Figure l is a top view, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a Vertical section, of it.
My improvement has reference to those selt'- acting decanter-stoppers which contain a ballvalve that by its weight is closed down upon its seat when the decanter is upright, but which falls away from its seat when the decanter is turned down or inclined for the purpose of discharging mole or less ot'its fluid contents, the said seat being on the end of a tube to extend from a cork to iit into the mouth ot' the decanter.
My improvement has reference to the mode of keeping the ball in its proper relation with the tube. I am aware that arched wires crossed at right angles have for this purpose been extended from the mouth ofthe tube and over the ball. I am also aware that the ball has been placed wit-hin a conical mouth-piece or tube projecting beyond the valve-seat. My improvement differs from them, and therefore I lay no claim to them. Such improvement consists in a series of iin gers or long triangular projections, a a a, arranged, at equal distances apart, around and extending from the end ot' the tube A or seat b ot the valve B, such ngers, after the ball may have been put in place on its seat, being bent over it or toward a point directly over the vertical axis of the ball, the saine being as shown in the drawings. The upper ends of the fingers when so bent should he some distance from the ball when on its seat, and they should also be in the circumference of a circle of a diameter less than that ot the ball.
C is the part of the tube which is inserted in the cork, and D is the tlange orshoulder against which the cork abuts.
The advantage of my formation of the selfacting stopper is that it enables the stopper to be cast in one piece, with its tin gers straight, or about so, and requires little expense in iinishing the tube and applying the ball-valve to itA What I claim as my improvement is- The seli'-acting` ball-valve decanter-stopper as made with the series of lingers applied to the valve-seat tube, and so as to extend therefrom and about the ball when in place, 'substantially in the manner as hereinbet'ore specitied.
