STOPPERING DEVICE FOR BOTTLES OR THE LIKE.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, THOMAS HEFFERNAN and HENRY CHARLES BRAUN, subjects of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at London, England, have invented Improvements in Stoppering Devices for Bottles or the Like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the stoppering of bottles, cans and like vessels by means of devices which either prevent refilling or render it extremely difiicult to enable this to be performed.
The object of the invention is to provide improved devices of this kind which without being complicated in construction are more effectual in use than those hitherto proposed, to which end the invention consists of certain novel arrangements and combinations of parts all as hereinafter more specifically described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a central Vertical section of a stopper applied to an oil can, the parts being in position ready to permit the contents to be poured out. Figs. 2 and 3 are similar views of two modifications, certain parts being in elevation.
Referring first to Fig. 1, a is the nozzle or inlet of the can, externally screw threaded at b, c a metal stopper body internally screw threaded atd and e a soft metal capsule which can be spun or otherwise deformed to embrace the stopper body 0 and enter a groove 7 in the nozzle a. The said body 0 is also formed with a spider 9 serving as a hearing or guide for the limited axial passage therethrough of a movable air inlet tube It and has the extremity within the can arranged at an angle to the part that passes through the spider so that it extends to a point within the can where air can be admitted above, the level of the liquid while the latter is being poured from the can. i is a seat in the nozzle or inlet a and j a fiat disk valve adapted to slide freely along the tube It within the limits imposed by a ring or collar k and the said seat 2' after the stoppering device has been applied to the can, and within the limits imposed by the ring or collar is and another ring or collar m upon the tube h before the body 0 is secured to the nozzle or inlet a. The ring or collar is also serves to limit upward movement of the tube It under the action of a spring a which may be Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed October 7, 1908.
Patented Feb. 8, 1910.
Serial No. 456,651.
' employed to engage the underside of a plate 0 and hold it and the tube It in the position shown while pouring out the contents. The tube h, which passes through the plate 0 is protected by a small cap or cover p having small air inlet holes 9 to admit air to the tube. 7' is a washer interposed between the nozzle or inlet a and stopper body 0 to form a tight joint and s is a screen or disk of wire gauze for use when the can is to receive inflammable oils and so prevent the possibility of flame passing into the can and causing an explosion. t is an externally screw threaded extension upon the stopper body 0 upon which may be screwed a cap or cover u having a washer a and serving to make an airtight and fume-tight joint.
In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the body 0 of the stopper is fashioned of thin sheet metal as is also the cap or cover u, the latter however in this case confining the plate 0 so that it cannot be removed therefrom. The perforated plate p of the previous example for admitting air to the tube It is in this modification incorporated in the top of the cap or cover a. The retention of the body 0 upon the can is effected by inserting the same into a socket v the edge '0 of which is crimped and spun, pressed over or clamped tightly to the said body 0.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the
lower extremity of the body 0 iS SCTQW threaded to enable it to be screwed into a correspondingly threaded socket to having a flange m which together with a flange g on the body 0 serve to receive a retaining capsule a similar to that described with reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings.
