Q M W FRANK E. JOSELIN, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA.
BOTTLE-CLOSURE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 13, 1910.
Application filed March 31, 1909. Serial No. 487,079.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK EDWARD Jos ELIN, of the city of Toronto, in the countyof York and Province of Ontario, Canada,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Closures; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
It is customary in sealing containers for aerated waters, and the like in which it is necessary to securely and effectively seal the same, to apply the closure under mechanical pressure and pry it off by mechanical means. This method of applying and .removing the closures results in them injury, usually to such an extent as to prevent their re-use', and it is customary in such cases to throw the closures away after their first application, and this method of application necessitates a special chuck for each size and style of closure, and a press to :1 ply the closure and operate the chuck to bend the edge of the closure against the neck of the container.
My present invention relates to a bottle closure which can be manually applied and removed, and which may be used and reused indefinitely until either lost or worn out, and it relates particularly to bottle closures which may be applied and removed by the manipulation of the hands only, i. 0. without the use of mechanical means.
In carrying out my invention I employ a cap in which the skirt between its edge and the top of the cap is provided with an annular bead and dentated between the bead and the edge so that the dentations will have sufficient resilience to enable the closure to be readily fitted on and removed from the neck of the bottle without the application of mechanical means, or means other than the hands alone the dentations closely adhering to the neck with sufiieient pressure to prevent the accidental removal of the closure under normal conditions.
For an understanding of theinvention reference is to be had to the following de scription and to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1, is a perspective view, and Fig. 2, is a sectional view of a closure, showing it applied to the neck of a container. Fig. 3, is a perspective view, and Fig. 4, is a sectiona view of a modified form of the closure shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Like characters of reference refer to like parts throughout the specification and drawlugs.
The bottle closure consists of a cap comprising a top a, and a skirt 1) which may be of any shape, size or design. In the skirt b, between its edge and the top a is a concave convex bead c, and between the head 0 and the edge of the skirt are dentations d equispaced and of uniform size.
In applying the closures to a container, the cap is tilted into the position shown in dotted lines Fig. 2, and then gradually low? ered into the position shown 111 full lines in the same figures, the dentations adapting themselves closely to the neck of the container e. The concave-convex head a ermits the dentations to be sprung outwar when the cap is being fitted to the container and causes them to spring inward and embrace the neck of the container when the closure is fitted thereon.
Havin thus fully described my invention what I c aim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A bottle closure consisting of a cap comprising atop, a skirt and a concavo-convex bead between the edge of the skirt and the top with incisions in the skirt extending from the bead to the edge, forming resilient tongues which can s ring outward to pass over the bottle mout and then inwar to engage with the bottle neck when the closure is applied. Toronto, March 24th, 1909.
