'Letters Patent No. 76,994, 'dated April 21, 1868.
IMPROVED BOTTLE-STOPPER. y
'ro ALL WHOM 1r MAY coNeERN:
Be it known that we, SHELDON GARY and SPENCER C. CARY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Bott1eStopper; and' we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,rand exact description thereof', which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference-being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, in which- Figure 1 represents a side view, partly in section, of our improved bottle-stopper.
Figure 2 is anV inverted plan view of the same. i
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v
This invention relates toa new manner of strengthening and protecting cork bottle-Stoppers, and consists in the use of a cap, made of metal foil, fitted around and over the upper part of the cork. The cork is thereby not only made air-tight, so as to form an air-tight stopper for the bottle, but itis also made stronger, and not so liable to crumble The metal foil increases the diameter' of the stopper so little that itwill t easilyinto the mouth of a bottle, if it did iit without the cap.
A, in the drawing, represents a cork stopper, of suitable shape. B is a metal-foil cap, placed around and over the upper part of the cork, as shown. The upper end of the cap may also be covered by a sheet-metal plate, C, which projects beyond the sides of the stopper, so as to prevent the same from being forced too deep into the bottle. I
Theplate C is fastened to the cap B, either by clamping it, as at a, or by fitting with its turned-in edge tight against it, as at o in iig. 1. The inventionis applicableito jar and can-Stoppers as well as tovbottles.
We are aware that elastic caps have already been used en corks, but the same were only for the purpose of making the cork water or air-tight, and they did not strengthen the stopper, as is done by the metallic cap.
Moreover, they had to b e made thick to be of' service, and they were then too thick to allow the lower end of the cork to be of any use, or too long, to the injury of the contents of the bottle, while our metallic-foil cap is s o thin that it overcomes the aforesaid inconveniences.
The stopper must not iit so tight-ly in the neck of the bottle that thometallie foil can be rubbed oii'; therefore a shoulder is required to sustain the stopper. The vprojecting at plate, on the top of the stopper, forms a shoulder for this purpose. I v i Having described our invention, lwe claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent* As a new article of manufacture, a lbottle-stopper, provided with a cap, B, of metallic foil, and a at plate, C, which projects over the edges oi' the stopper, whereby said stopper is prevented from being forced too far into the neck of the bottle, as described.
SHELDON CARY, SPENCER C. CARY.
