BOTTLE-CAP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 734,561, dated July 28, 1903.
Application filed December 17,1902. Serial No. 135,575. (No model.)
To 00 whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HERBERT D. J ONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Caps 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 appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to thefigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention. relates particularly to a well-known form of bottle-cap having a corrugated flange crimped over a bead at the mouth of the bottle, and comprises an improvement thereon the object of which is to adapt the cap for continued use as a removable closure after its first removal from the bottle.
As is well known, when an existing cap is caught at the edge by a tool and pried'off it is bent out of shape, so that it cannot be used again as a temporary stopper. My invention enables such a cap to be used again by the construction hereinafter desoribed,and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the cap. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same applied to a bottle-neck, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing the cap in use as a temporary stopper.
My invention consists in providing a bottlecap having a crimped and depending flange 6 with a ring of inwardly-projecting tongues 7, formed by cutting and striking in said tongues from the upper part of the flange above the crimped lower portion. The
tongues so formed have a certain amount of spring, due to the elasticity of the metal and the way in which they are bent in. The cap has the usual cork lining, as indicated'at 8,
to form an air and liquid tight joint. The cap so formed is preferably applied to a bottle-neck having two exterior beads, as indicated at 6 and 7. When the bottle is originally capped, the corrugated flange 6 is crimped over the lower bead 6 and the tongues yield outwardly to pass over the upper bead 7 When the bottle is first uncapped, the flange 6 is bent up or out, as indicated in Fig. 3, by a tool commonly employed for that purpose. This does not affeet or distort the spring-tongues 7, which will yield to the pressure and allow the cap to'slip off and afterward resume their normal position. The cap may then be used again as a temporary stopper bypressing the cap, as by hand, upon the mouth of the bottle with sufficient force to expand the springtongues 7 over the bead 7 when they will contract and hold the cap on the bottle. The tongues are formed by cutting around the bottom and sides thereof, leaving the point of attachment at the top, whereby the tongues being free adjacent the flange 6 willnot be afiected by the crimping or bending of the flange in the attachment or removal in the first instance of the cap.
What I claim as new is 1. A bottle-cap having a depending attaching-flange,with a row of spring-tongues struck in from the bodyof the flange above the lower edge thereof.
2. A bottle-cap having a corrugated attaching-flange adapted to be crimped around a bottle-neck, with a row of downwardly and inwardly hanging spring-tonguesstruokfrom the body of the flange.
In testimony whereof I affix my'signature in presence of two Witnesses.
