To @32? whom it may eminem.'

Be it known that I, Fem'met Jess-,m1,

engineer, :L citizen of the Kingdom of Norwey, residing at St. Qleps Gete 24;, Chris tierna, NorWey,-heve mveuted e new eed` useful'm rovement m Capsules for Bottlesend the ilze; end l do hereby declare the Y' following to be e full, oleer, emi exeet deserlptl'on of the seme.

In the usuel bottle sealing or. Closing de vices, e capsule is placed over the bottle mouth end lts lower cerro ated edge portion is clemp'ed or crimped in eneeth the upoer mouth roll. However, in devices of tais kind, it isrleeessery to use e comparatively yielding `tightening meterfiel smell es cork, eeeutehoue, etc., m order teeiptem periect tightness. i nowvheve elgserver, theft 'the reason for this meonvenienee is to be sought m the feet, that, en account of the shape of the capsule eoi'russtioes oonteeting time mouth roll durilig ,L e demping ot` the eel? t e suie, only compressive strains arise in edge materiel, so that the letter, es seen es the elempiegtool is removed, has e tendency to yield somewhat beek, i. e., the length ot' the clamping or crimping edge 'of the eef@- suie tends te be extended. This extension must be teken up by the tightening or peek mg materiel, which therefore must De eemparetivelythiek.

in order to -renove tins, drawback, my

I' presentzinveiition hesiter its object te pro'- vide eeeeing capsule in which during the crimping, end later on (es long es the cap sule covers the bottle mouth), tensile strains are produced along the edge, portion, seid strains, therefore, holding seid lportion et all. times-in e state iet tension, so that the edge of the'eepsule lies no tendeney Wheteveivte be extended but, on 4the contrary, has s tercl--v eney to clamp the edge more 4 strongly -erouue- 'the bottle mouth. 'Ene tightening or peekngumeteriel may, therefore, be um elastic emol of less thickness than heretofore.

My inventien is illustrated in the eccompenying drejfrilig wilieln-- ,1

Having now ieserbed my iriventifsi *what I Gleim es new and desire te seeure by Letters Patent is z- 1 1. A. capsule for effecting sealing er elosng, ll. of bottles end the like, .having e eerrugeted erige' Whose eerrugetioes are et seek, etage m. center e5 that, upon contraction ponia beide-neck, the edge is provided Wish :i series of dovetailed projections for the purpose of producing, inthe edge ortion, strains tending to eoik tract the sei portion around they upper mouth roll of the bottle.

2. A device for sealing or' Closing bottles and the like, comprising e capsule the crimping edge of which has e plurality of projections the sides of which converge towards the center of the ce suie.

3. A device ior sealing or closing .bottles end the like, comprising a. capsule the crimp ing edge of which hes a, phireiizy of proeotions the sides of which converge towards the Center of the Capsule, the inner parte of the edge connecting the projections with euch g other being Curved invmrdiy towards the center ofthe capsule.
