Specification 0': Letters Patent.
Patented March 17, 1908.
Application filed January 23, 1907. Serial No. 363,711.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EUGENE D. CnELLis, a citizen of the United-States, residing at Portland, in the county of Cumberland and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inv Caps for Bottles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to closures for vessels, and particularly to a closure for vessels which require frequent opening, but the contents of which it is desired to keep securely and tightly sealed.
One end particularly sought has been to secure such a closure, applicable, easily and quickly to bottles of a stock pattern and yet sufficiently secure thereon to afford completeness of seal.
Inthe drawings which form a part of the specification of the case, Figure 1, 1s a view of my closure applicd to a bottle. Fig. 2, a sectional view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, a view of the closure removed. Fig. 4, a'modiiica tion of the losure. Fig. 5, a sectional view of-a further modification applied to a bottle. Fig. 6, a view of this form of closure removed. Fig. 7, shows three forms of packing disks which may be used therewith. Fig. 8, is a modified form for use with liquids, etc., and, Fig. 9, is a side view thereof. 7
1 represents an ordinary stock bottle having a reduced portion 2 below the mouth thereof forming a shoulder 3 about said mouth. 4
' 7 is a cap which may be a plain plate, as shown in Fig. 4, or a plate having a [hinge or rim, as shown in the remaining figures in which 8 indicates the rim or flange portion.
15 are depending clamping arms formed on the cap 7 or on the flange 8 thereof and providedwith inwardly turned portions 16 adapted to engage the shoulder 3. There may be one arm 15 as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, or a plurality of such arms, as shown in the remaining figures of the drawings. The arms 15 may iuthermore support additional .c'lam ing means as 13, herein shown, but
not 0 aimed, or said arms may terminate in free ends, as shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 9. The arms 15 may be grouped together at one point on the circumference of the cap, us shown in Fig. 5 or they may be spuccd ovcr n se1ni-circumfcrencc ol the smno.
18 is a cover pivoted at 1.) to-thc cup 7 and the arm or arms 15.
" ing or openings of the cap.
having a transverse swing thereon to, uncover or cover the cap.
14 is a spring locking lip on the cover 125 adapted to engage the shou der 3 of the bottle.
The cap '7 may be provided with any sort of openings or perforations and is shown with a central opening 4. 1n case the closure is to be used for pellets, tablets etc. a packing disk or simple washer may serve, as indicated by 4, Fig. 7. 4' in this same figure shows the form used with the cap to provide a dusting cap for powder and the like, while- 4 shows a form particularly adapted to tooth powder and similar material.
Referring to the liquid closure shown in Figs. 8 and 9 it is to be noted that the cap 7 is cutaway at 5 from the opening 4 to the edge of the cap exposing the packing disk or washer 4. for a space representing the path of that portion of the cover 15 which covers the opening 4. In this way the cover lb is brought into direct contact with the packing which rises to the edge of the thin metal of the cap under the ordinary pressure of application to the bottle. By this means :1 complete seal is secured and maintained in spite of continued wear and use.
21 and 22 are stops on tho covcr and cap respectively.
The operation of the device is as follows: To apply the closure the cover 1S is swung open and the mouth of thy vcsscl slippcd undci' the cap until one side thereof is s1 oppcd l-. Thccovcr is thcn swung back into placc until caught hy the slops 21 and 22 which center the dcpcnding spring locking lip 14 opposite to thc chnnping incinbcrs 15 of the cap. As thcsc mcmhcrs 1-) are arranged symmetrically with rcspcct to. the pivot 19 of thecovcr. the said covcr will be evenly closed over thc opening 4 and the lip 14 will be clamped undcr thc shoulder of the bottle directly opposite to the chnnping member of the cap so that thccntirc structurc will be locked s \'n1l'-lch'icnll about the ncck of thc vessel.
To gain access to the contcnts ol" the vesscl it is only necessary to swing the cover, wholly or partially, oil from ovcr the openif it be desired to rcmovc the entire closure the ca may be sprung oil of the vessel by simple lateral prcssurc (a slight upward push being given opposite the clamping members to clear the flan e if such be used).
%viously various materials, paekings and modifications of parts may be used without departing from the spirit of my invention.
What I therefore claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A closure for containing vessels, comprising a cap, a cover pivoted thereto for lateral movement, and a locking lip on said cover adapted to engage, in the closed position thereof, the said. containing vessel.
2. A closure for containing vessels, com' prising a cap having on one side thereof F clamping means, a cover pivoted to said cap forlateral movement, and a locking lip on said cover adapted to engage, in the closed position thereof, the said containing vessel;
3. A closure for containing vessels having a reduced portion below the mouth thereof, comprising a cap, having on one side thereof means :torv engaging such reduced portion, a cover pivoted to said cap and laterally movable thereon, and a locking'lip on said cover to. engage said reduced portion when the cover is closed.
4. A closure for. containing vessels com pr sing a cap having a delivery openlng .therein, a cover mounted on said cap for lateral movement thereon, said opening in the cap being extended to the outside edge in the line of movement of said cover. A f
5. In combination with a containing vessel having a reduced portion below its mouth, a cover, means for providing for a relative, lateral movement between said cover and bottle, and a locking-lip on said cover adapt-.-
ed' to engage, in its closed position, the said reduced portion i 6. A closure for containing vessels comprising a cap having, on one side thereof clamping means, a cover pivoted thereto for lateral movement, a looking-lip on said cover adapted to engage, in the closed position thereof, the said containin vessel and astop for holding said lip in sueli position opposite other 'neniber to prevent the'lateral movement of said ca 3 on the mouth of the vessd.
9. A closure or a containing vessel having a shoulderaboutits mouth comprising a cap, a cover pivoted ,thereto to laterallv swing thereon, means on said pov'er to eng age said shoulder, and means oh the cap to prevent the lateral movement thereof or the mouth of the vessel.
10. A closure for oontainirg vessels, comprising a cap, having an op inmg, a laterally opening cover on sai cap to cover said open.- ing, and a locking lip on said cover to engage the vessel. v
11. A closure for 2, containing vessel having a shoulder about its mouth comprising a cap having a delivery opening therein, a laterally movable cover on said 'cap, a shoulder engaging locking lip on said cover, and a shoulder engaging finger on said cap on the side opposite to the locking lip when "in its closed position.
12. A closure for a containing vessel comprising a cap having an opening, a'laterally opemn ing an a spring locking lip on'the cover to engage the vessel.
cover on said cap for latera gpmove nent thereon, means for-inter-engaging the eap and cover, and a resilient locking lip on the cover to engage the vessel.
14. A closure for a containing vessel comrisin a cap having adelivery opening, a atera ly swinging cover pivoted to the cap, an interengaging projection and recess on cover on sald cap to close said 'openi 13. Aelosure for a containing vesselcome prising a cap having a delivery opening, a
said cap and cover and a resilient locking lip on said coveradapted to engage the vessel.
15., In a closure for as containing vessel having a shoulder about its mouth, a laterally movable cover and a locking lip having afr'esilient engaging end ada ted to have yielding bearing beneath the s containin vessel; I
'16.' A cosurefona containing vessel comprising a caphaving a delivery opening therein, a laterally swinging cover p voted to said cap, an interengaging projectlon and oulder of the recess on said cap and cover and .means'forv Y holding said cap and cover in yielding engagement with the vessel at the time of closing.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature 7 in presence of two witnesses.
