Be it known that I, MAX HARTOG, a citizen with which the said upper member is proof the United States of America, and a resivided. The upper member is tted to the 55 dent of Paterson, in the county of Passaic flange or plate c of the member a and has 5 and State of New Jersey, have invented ceralso a dependent fiange Z, surrounding said tain new and useful Improvements in Bottleplate and extending for some distance below Stoppers, of which the following is a specifiit. The outer surface of the dependent liange cation, reference being had to the accompa- Zmay be suitably knurled, so that it may read- 6c nying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The slot egress of liquid from the bottle by a relative is axially concentric with the member b, and 65 movement of certain parts of the stopper, but the length of the slot,`a s shown in Figs. 3 and I5 without the removal of any part thereof. is such as to permit a limited axial move- I will now proceed to describe a bottlement of the upper member with respect to stopper embodying my invention and will the lower. When the upper member is in pothen point out the novel features in claims. ysition with respect to the lower member, as 7o.

In the drawings, Figure l shows a central shown in Fig.l of the drawings, the respective zo vertical section through a bottle-stopper emdischarge and air ports and passages will be bodying my invention and through a portion in register. When, however,the upper memof a bottle in connection therewith. Fig. 2 ber is moved axially with respect to the lower y is a side elevation .of the bottle-stopper remember the distance permitted by the screw 75 moved from the bottle. Fig. 3 is a top view n and slot fm, the said ports and passages will 25 of the same.
