To cir/ZZ h/0m, t may cm1/cern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD C. LEACH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norwalk, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Bottle-Stopper, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a stopper which is particularly adapted to be applied to the neck of a bottle containing a beverage or condiment, but it is useful for closing the mouth of a bottle containing any liquid.
f The object of the invention is to provide a l simple, cheap and cleanly stopper which may be readily applied to or removed from the neck of any common bottle, and which can be easily manipulated for opening and tightly closing a bottle mouth of any ordinary size.
The embodiment of the invention which is illustrated has a spring band which is adapted to clasp the neck of a bottle, a globular stopper which is adapted to close the mouth of the bottle, and spiral springs connecting the band and the stopper in suoli manner as to hold the latter tightly to the mouth ot the bottle.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shows the neck of a bottle with the mouth closed by one` of these Stoppers. Fig. 2 shows a plan view oi the same. Fig. 3 shows a side view with the stopper rolled away from the mouth.
The band l is preferably made ot' a piece of spring wire formed into a circle which is smaller in diameter than the neck of the bottle to be clasped. The overlapping ends of the wire are bent to form eyes 2 which may be grasped by the fingers for opening the band when it is applied to or removed from the bottle. Rubber tubing 3 is preferably placed on the wire to protect it from the corrosive action of the salts and acids of any substance which may be placed in the bottle and to form a cushion which will insure a iirm and close grip on the neck ot' the bottle.
The stopper 4 which is shown as globular may be formed of rubber, wood, metal or glass as desired. Extending through the center of the stopper is a bail 5. A spiral spring 6 connects each end of the bail to the band. These springs have the requisite stiffness to draw the stopper tightly to a seat upon the mouth of the bottle.
The stopper is easily applied by opening the band and springing it about the neck ol the bottle below the head or in a groove between the neck and the head. The tension of the wire and the ilexiliility ofthe rubber which covers the wire causes the band to tightly grip the neck and hold in place. The stopper is readily located in the mouth oit the bottle by rolling it over the edge, the globular form providing sul licient body to lze easily grasped by the fingers or pushed by the thumb and insure a tight seating of the stopper on the mouth.
An opening 7 may be made diametrically through the stopper and the stopper may be rotated on the hail so that the opening will come in line with the mouth allowing liquid to be turned out oi the bottle tl'irough this opening. The stopper is easily rotated so that the opening is away from the mouth, then nothing can llc poured out.
This stopper can be made ornamental and can bc quickly applied to the neck ol any bottle of ordinary dimension and the stopper will tightly close a mouth oi:l any common size. It can be easily removed if solid, or rotated iit perforated, to allow liquid to he poured out of the bottle and then quickly adjusted so as to close the mouth. Vhen the bottle is turned away from the mouth it is held up by the springs so as not to interfere with the i low of liquid. This stopper is particularly desirable i'or use in connection with bottles which have had their perinanent seals broken and. it is desired to close the bottles in such manner that they can be opened at intervals and yet kept closed su'lliciently tight to prevent deterioration ol` the contained liquid.
The invention claimed is:
A bottle stopper consisting of a band -lormed of spring wire and rubber tubing, a globular stopper, a bail extending through the center of the stopper, and spiral springs connecting the ends o'i the bail and the band, substantially as spccilied.
