BOTTLE-CAP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 19, 1905.
Application filed April 14, 1905. Serial No. 255,548.
nary cork or other closure to the neck of the vessel may not be removed without breaking the securing means.
With these and other objects in view, which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which corresponding parts are denoted by like designating characters, is illustrated the preferred form of embodiment of the invention capable of carrying the same into practical operation, it being understood that the invention is not necessarily limited thereto, as various changes in the shape, proportion, and general assemblage of the parts may be resorted to without departing from theprinciple of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
In the drawings thus employed, Figure lis a sectional view of the neck portion of a bottle with the improved fastening means applied. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the neck portion of the bottle with the securing means detached. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the frangible cap detached. Fig. 4 is a detached perspective view of the resilient locking member.
The improved device may be applied to any of the various forms of bottles, jars, jugs, and similar vessels having relatively contracted discharge-orifices, the contents of which it is required to protect, but for the purpose of illustration is shown applied to the neck portion 10 of an ordinary bottle, and in the improved device this neck portion is provided with oppositely-disposed transverse recesses 11 12 in the outer surface and with an encircling flange or band 13, spaced ashort distance below the recesses.
The securing means comprises a substantially U-shaped resilient member 14,0f metal of suitable quality and strength for hearing over the neck of the vessel, and with the terminals 15 16 extending inwardly for yieldably engaging the recesses. Fitting over the vessel-neck is a cap 17, of frangible material, such as glass, and provided with an inwardly-extending flange 18 at the lower open end for closely engaging the outer face of the vessel-neck and bearing above the flange or band 13. The recesses 11 12 being spaced from the band 13,it is obvious that when the cap 17 is forced down over the vessel-neck the flange 18 of the cap will compress the leg portions of the resilient member 14 and pass beneath the inturned terminals 15 16 of the same, which will expand by the reactionary force within the cap and form an effectual lock to prevent the removal of the cap. The usual cork-closure (represented at 19) is first inserted into the vessel-neck, and then when the members 14 and 17 are disposed in position thereon access to the cork is impossible without breaking the frangible cap 17. Thus the contents of the vessel are protected and tampering therewith prevented.
The device is simple in construction, can be inexpensively manufactured and applied, and will operate effectually for the purposes described.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In a vessel-closure of the class described, the combination with a vessel having recesses in the outer surface, of a resilient member having inwardly extending terminals for yieldably engaging said recesses, and a cap member of frangible material closely fitting said vessel-neck and provided with an inwardly-extending flange for compressing said resilient member and passing beneath the same.
2. In a vessel-closure of the classdescribed, the combination with a vessel having recesses in the outer surface, of a substantially U- shaped resilient member for bearing over the neck of the vessel and having inwardly-extending terminals for yieldably engaging the recesses therein, and a cap member of frangible material provided with an inwardly-extending flange for closely engaging the neck of the vessel and compressing said resilient member and passing beneath the same.
said resilient member and bearing above said I encircling flange.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
