. new and useful Improvements in Sheet-- Metal Sto pers for Bottles, Jars, &c., of which the ollowing is a specification.
This invention relates to stoppers for bottles, jars, etc., and particularly to that class in which is employed a metallic sealingfcap,
the flange of which is adapted to be forced into lockin engagement with the neck of the receptac e.
The object of my invention is to provide a construction in which the lower portion of the locking flange of the cap is folded inwardly upon itself, flared outwardly, and corrugated, whereby when such portion is constricted radially, the free edge of the inner fold is caused to exert an effective gripping action on the receptacle, and yet by the applicationofa suitable opening tool to the lower folded edge of the flange, in the usual manner, the stopper can be readily and safely removed from the receptacle,-as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings-Figure 1 is a side ele -pe vation, partly in section, of a stopper embodying my. invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation thereof as applied to a bottle. Fig. 3 is a partial transverse section, as on. the line X of Fig. 2. .Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the stopper, showing one-half thereof constricted to effect the inward bulging of the ribs or corrugations on the inner fold of the flange.
My improved stopper isstamped out of a single piece of sheet metal to produce the top or crown 1 and the integral depending flange 2. The lowerportion of this flange is flared outwardly and downwardly, as at 3; its free end is turned inwardly and upwardly, as at 4; and the portion thus doubled is crimped or corrugated throughout,'as at 5. The depth of the flange is such that when the stopper is applied to the mouth" of a bottle or other receptacle .the lower folded and crimped ortion of .the flange extends belowthe-usua shoulder 6 on the neck of the receptacle so that when such portion of ,the flan is forcibly'constricted by radial pressure t ereon, the ribs or corrugations on the inner foldare transversely contracted and theirfree edges thus caused to spread or bulge inward and take under the shoulder, as illustrated in -'Fi g.2.
The sto per is provided with-the usual sealing dis 7, of corkor'other yielding material, which is forced downwardly u on and around the mouth of the receptacle uring the application of the stopper thereto.
The inwardly and-upwardly inclined portion of the flange due to the dis lacement of the corrugations thereof, afior s and in-165 sures a reliable locking of the stopper to the receptacle; The internal upward pressure upon the stopper by the gaseous contents of the receptacle causes Suchflnc'lined portion to exert a still more eflicient grippin action upon the neck of the receptacle, an yet by the application of the usual opening tool to the lower-reinforced edge of the flange, the removal of the stopper from the vessel' can readily and safely accomplished.
I claim-- v r 1. A metal stopper having an integral dending flange, the lower portion whereof is folded inwardly u on itself, flared downso wardly, and crimpe or corrugated, whereby when such portion is constricted, the ribs or corrugations on the innerfold are transversely contracted and their. free upper. edges thus caused to spread or bulge into- 5 locking engagement with the receptacle.
2. In combination with a receptacle having an annular locking shoulder, a sealing disk, and a metallic cap provided with a flange whereof its lower portion is folded inwardly and upwardly, and'the adjacent surfaces correspondingly corrugated, the free ends of the ribs or corrugations of the inner fold being in locking engagement'with the shoulder.

Signed-at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this eleventh day of May 1908.
