JAR-GLOSURE.
SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 663,314, dated December 4, 1900. Application i'lled Ocetober 1l, l900. Serial No. 32,730. CNO DlOdel-J To all wwit if; nea/y concern:
Beit known that I, FRANK MEKEMsoN WEIR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Monmouth, iu the county of Warren and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Jar-Closure, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in closures for jars, bottles, or the like; and the object is to provide a closure of very simple construction that may be quickly and easily attached to a vessel and as readily detached therefrom.
I will describe a jar-closure embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.
Reference is to be lhad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is a perspective View of a jar or vessel, showing a closure embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof. Fig. 3 is a section of the closure removed from the jar, and Fig. 4L is a plan view.
Referring to the drawings, l designatesa jar or vessel, here shown as having a tapered neck 2, upon which the cover or clusure 3 is placed. 'Fo make a tight joint between the closure and the'jar, I employ a gasket et, of rubber or the like, which is attached to the closure or cover and engages with the edge of the neck. A bail is connected to and adapted to swing on the jar or vessel. As here shown, the bail 5 consists of a rigid strip of metal having its ends turned inward and engaging in recesses formed in the neck portion of the vessel. Longitudinally-curved springyielding plates 6 and 7 are attached to the cover or closure. These spring-plates are shown as crossed, and their ends are extended into curved recesses S, formed in the top of the cover or closure. These recesses 8 are of suiiicient length and size to permit of the free movement of the ends of the springplates when the said spring-plates are pressed downward by the bail 5, as indicated in Fig. 2, and when the said plates are relieved of pressure of the bail, as indicated in Fig. 3.
The cover or closure may be made of any suitable material-such,for instance,as metal or stoneware. When made of stoneware and because ofthe curved shape of the recesses 8, there will be no danger of chipping off edges of the closure, as the pressure is exerted both downward and outward, and, further, by extending the ends of the curved plates into these curved recesses the plates cannot become accidentally detached and lost when disengaged from the bail.
While I have shown two springs 6 and 7, it is obvious that one of them may be omitted and a perfect seal will be attained by engaging the bail with the single spring-plate.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A jar or vessel, a cover or closure therefor having longitudinally-curved recesses in its upper surface, a curved spring-plate having its ends movably engaging in said recesses, and a bail mounted to swing on the vessel and adapted to engage the said spring-plate, substantially as specified.
2. A jar or vessel, a closure therefor having downwardly and outwardly curved recesses in its upper surface, longitudinallycurved spring-plates having their ends movably engaging in said recesses, said springplates being crossed, and a bail having swinging connection with the vessel and adapted to exert downward pressure on said springplates when engaging therewith, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
FRANK MEKEMSON WEIR.
