\ i Application led February 8, 1908. Serial No. 414,892'.
` l To all whom it may concern:V
Be it known that I, J AMES II.,SM1TH, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Portland, county of Cumberland, State of Maine, have invented new and useful Im-` provements 1n Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is a specification. v
This invention has for its object to provide a bottle with a stopper which will open and close the bottle-automatically by tipping or righting the bottle. v Y
In the drawings herewith accompanying and making part of this application, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view-of a bottle with my improved device shown partly in elevation therein, the dotted lines showing the position of the stopper when the bottle is' tipped; Fig. 2 isa plan view ofthe blankr from which the detent is made; Fig.` 3 .is a transverse sectional view of Fig..1 taken'on lineX-X. H
Same letters of reference refer to like parts.- The stopper A is provided with an attenuated stem B. Mounted on said stem is a detent having flexible spring arms C and being provided with a hole D through which loosely passes the stem of the stopper. The arms or prongs C are bent so that when forced into the neck of a bottle E theypress laterally against the interior wall of the neck of the bottle and remain in frictionalengagement therewith. The stem is provided with shoulders F and G, oneabo-ve the detent and the other G below, shoulder G being'removableV to permit the stem to be inserted in the hole D 1n the detent.
To place my stopper in position the stopper and detent are assembled by first removing the shoulder G, inserting the stem of the stopper through the hole D in the detent and.
then replacing the shoulderG. i The stopper and detent are then inserted in the neck of the bottle, the shoulder F pushing the detent down until the stopper seats itself `as shownv in Fi 1. The arms C on the detent being fleXib e are bent as it passes into the neck of the bottle and thus hold `the detent stationary infrictional4 engagement with the neck of the bottle, while the stopper is free to move outwardly to the positionshown in dotted lines touncork the bottle, its outward movement being limited by the lower shoulder of the stem.
My invention is not to be restricted to the precise forms shown since the form of the detent and the means for limiting its movement may be varied provided only that the detent .I 'stemprovided with a shoulder intermediate its ends and a cap on its lower end, in combination with a detent mounted on said stem and provided with liexible upwardly extending arms adapted to have frictional engagement with the walls of the neck of a bottle, said detentbeing adapted to be forced into Jhe neck of the bottle by means'of said shoul- In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses this 5th day of February, 1908.
