FRANK R. MAGAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
STOPPER FOR BOTTLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 730,939, dated June 16, 1903.
Application filed March 5, 1903.
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK R. MAGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoppers for Bottles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in stoppers for bottles; and the object of my in-. vention is to provide a new and improved stopperfor bottles so constructed as to render it practically impossible to refill the bottlein an economical manner.
In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a bottle provided with my improved stopper, the bottle being closed. Fig. 2 is a similar View showing the stopper pressed inward so as to permit the liquid to How from the bottle, the bottle being inclined and showing the manner in which the liquid flows from it. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the frame on the bottle-head.
The bottle A is of the conventional construction, such as is generally'and commonly used for liquors, and this bottle has a conventional neck A with a head A The stopper 13 for closing the bottle is made preferably of cork, and through this stopper a red 0 passes longitudinally and is held securely in the stopper B by plates or washers D, secured to the rod at opposite ends of the stopper, which plates rest firmly on the ends of the stopper and are preferably made of enameled metal or may be made of glass orporce; lain. The rod 0 projects some distance from the upper end of the stopper, and to its upper end is secured an inverted cup E, made of metal, enameled metal, glass, porcelain, or other suitable material, which cup is fastened on the upper end of the rod 0 by a rivet or pin F, passing through the upper closed end of the cup and through said rod. 'This cup is provided at its open end with a groove E, forming a lip or spout. A ringer band G surrounds the neck A directly beneath the head A, and from said ring a U shaped frame H extends upward and over the head of the bottle, and the top cross-piece of this frame is provided with an opening J, through Serial No. 146,263- (No model.)
which the rod 0 can pass freelyand be guided therein. The rod 0 is provided a short distance above the stopper with a transverse hole K, adapted to receive a locking-pin L for a purpose that will be set forth hereinafter. The ring J may have its ends riveted together, or they may be fastened by means of a sealed wire M.
After the bottle has been filled with liquor say up to the dotted lines a, a of Fig. 1the stopper B is inserted. Then the frame GH is slipped down on the bottle-head in such a manner that the rod 0 passes through the hole J, and the frame encircles the head. The open ends of the ring J are united either by riveting or by means of a sealed Wire, so that thisframe GH is securely held on the bottlehead and cannot be removed except by force or by destroying the seal, thus showing at once that the bottle has been tampered with or an attempt has been made to tamper with it. Then the cup E is placed on the upper end of the rod 0 and secured firmly in place by means of the rivet or pin F. A lockingpin L is passed through the hole K directly above the cross-bar H, so as to prevent accidentally forcing the stopper B inward and down into the neck. The bottle is' now ready for shipment, transportation, and storage. When the contents of the bottle are to be removed, the pin L is first withdrawn and then the cup or bell E is forced downward into the position shown in Fig. 2. The contents of the bottle can now pass along the sides of the stopper to' and through the head. of the bottle and strike the interior or the cup E, the bottle being so held that the lip E is at the bottom, and then the liquid will flow from this lip into a tumbler or glass, as indicated in Fig.2. If the attendant wishes to close the bottle after having poured out some of the contents, all that is necessary is to pull the stopper upward again by means of the cup E and rod vents the passage of the liquid into the bot tle; but when the cork is pressed inward sufficiently to permit the liquid to flow out of the bottle or to flow from the head back into the bottle the cup E is so close to the head that it is practically impossible to introduce any liquor into the bottle.
Of course I am well aware that if this bottle would be immersed in a large quantity of liquor some of the liquor could pass into the bottle when the stopper is in the position shownin Fig. 2; but this would be a totally impractical way of refilling the bottle, as the labels would be washed off and disfigured, there would he a great waste of liquor, and the attempt would be expensive and very slow.
My stopper can be used on any liqu0r-bottie and without requiring any elaborate changes in the construction or make-up of the bottle. 4
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a stopper for bottles, the combination with a stopper fitting in the bottle-neck, of a rod firmly secured to said stopper and extending in the direction of the length of the stopper, and an inverted cup on the upper end of said rod, substantially as set forth.
2. In a stopper for bottles, the combination with a frame fitting on a bottle-neck, and
having a cross-bar, of a rod guided in said cross-bar, a stopper secured on the lower end of said rod and an inverted cup secured on the upper end of said rod, substantially as set forth.
3. In a stopper for bottles, the combination with a frame fitting on a bottle-neck and having a cross-piece, of a rod mounted to slide and guided in said cross-piece, of a stopper secured on the lower end of the rod, an inverted cup secured on the upper end of the rod and alocking-pin passed through the rod above the said cross-bar, substantially asset forth.
4. In a stopper for bottles, the combination with a frame fitting on a bottleneck, and having a cross-piece, of a rod mounted to slide and guided in said cross-piece, of astopper secured on one end of said rod below said frame, a washer-plate at each end of said stopper, and an inverted cup on the opposite end of the stopper above said frame, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 27th day of January, 1903.
