SEALING MEANS FOR VESSELS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 16, 1906.
To all whom, it may concern/.-
Be it known that I, JOHN AUGUSTUS HICKS, a cit zen of the United States, residing at Summit, Union county, New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sealing Means for Vessels, of which the following is a specification.
My discovery and invention relates to means for sealing vessels; and it consists in certain elements and combination of elements fully specified and claimed hereinafter.
I have discovered that in forcibly rubbing tinned iron over roughened glass the tin adheres to the glass. I have utilized this in sealing vessels. I
In order that those skilled in the art to which my invention appertains may understand and practice the same, I will proceed to describe it, referring to the accompanying drawings, formingpart thereof, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of a glass bottleneck provided with a circumferential bead near its. top, the extreme outer edge of said bead having been treated to remove the natural glaze and a sealing-cap located above the bottle ready to be forced on the bottle and over the said treated portion, shown in section. Fig. 2 shows the same with the said treated portion filled with metal on its surface, onehalf showing the sealing-cap in section in contact with said treated portion after the sealing-cap has been forced over it, leaving the surface metal from the cap in the treated portion in the act of forcibly sliding over it.
A is the body of the bottle.
B is the neck. I
C is the outer edge of a bead surrounding the neck B near its top, showing the roughened portion filled with metal.
D is the top surface of the nose of the bottle.
E is the top surface of a sealing-cap.
F is the outer edge of the bead, showing the glaze removed from the glass surface.
G is the flange of the cap, pendent from the top surface E.
The flange G of the cap E is of somewhat smaller internal diameter than the outer edge of the bead upon the neck at F and G,
so that in forcing the -cap upon the bottle over the said ed e of the bead the flange will be strained, an in passing over. the roughened part F the metal from the inner surface of said flange G will be scraped off and remain in the rou hness, and as the surface F is very narrow t e said metal is sufficient to practically fill the roughness, which is made very fine, and thus produce a surface which is smooth and which aids materially in causing a packing more or less perfect between the metal cap and the bottleneck bead, especially as the metal flange of the cap after passing this edge F returns again to its normal condition, thus gripping the under part of edge F, and in vessels containing pressure the pressure increases the grip and the tightness.
I usually employ for the metal of my cap tinned iron, and the tin from the cap fills the rough portion; but other metal may be used.
Having now fully described my invention and the manner in which I have embodied it, what I claim as new and as my discovery and invention consequent upon such discovery, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a means for sealing vessels the combination substantially as hereinbefore specified, consisting of a bottle neck and mouth, a bead surrounding the exterior of said neck near its top, presenting. a narrow roughened edge on its exterior surface; a metallic sealing-cap having an upper surface, and a pendent flange of smaller internal diameter than the exterior diameter of the said roughened edge, whereby when the said cap is forced over the said roughened edge the said flange is stretched in passing over it and the metal of the said flange is scraped from the inner surface of said flange into the said roughened edge and after passing the said roughened edge the flange returns practically to its original diameter and grips beneath the said bead, thereby causing a sealing between the said bead and the flange of the said cap as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 22d day of May, 1905.
JOHN AUGUSTUS HICKS.
