  • J fMy'olijects mainly areto guard against injury to the bottles by sudden or violent movement of the stoppers; to provide durable stoppers, and such as are not affected by and do not affect the contents of the bottles; to faciliiate the emptyingof the bottles, and to adapt the stoppers to the bottles in such manner that they may readily and quickly be caused to close them.
  • My invention consists, first, in a 'novel method of adapting stoppers to bottles of the class which are tightly closed by the outward. V moyement of the stoppers up to their open ends or months, which consists in providing: a
  • V a bottle having an in render it ippossible for ternal elastic packing at its mouth, and an in ternal gravitating stopperwhich is practically incompressible, and does not perceptibly wear or change its shape, whereby the necessity of changing the stoppers after long use is avoided contents-of the bottle, and rovidedtmith anobstruction at the lowerp rt of its neck to prevent the stoppers dropping into the body of the bottle when forced inward from without, whereby the bottle may freely be emptied by.
  • my improvements 1' provide bottles for containing aerated or efterveseing liquids with internal gravitating' stoppers, so that a bottle may be tilled without impediment from the stopper, and when filled is tightly closed by the stopper held by the pressure Within the bottle against yielding packing or ring ofela-stic material placed around the interior of the month of the bottle.
  • the mouth above this elastic ring or stop per-seat is provided with an internal projection or shoulder, or is thickened or bulged inwardly, so as to narrow the outlet or reduce the month to a diameter smaller than that of the stopper, and the stopper itself is, practically'consi'dered, rigid or incompressible.
  • the 'opper hereinafter spmiiticall y reli'erred ltdoos not appreciably wear or change shape.
  • a gravitating stopper when made round and of a material which preserves is shape and seat truly against the packing at the mouth of the bottle when the bottle is inverted or inclined mouth downward,-and, when so seated,
  • the bottle having: becn supplied with the liquid, the internal pressure prevents displacement of the stopper or leakage by movement or jarring ol' the bottle.
  • a stopper moves more readily and duickly to its scat than a stem or plug; stepper or a com yn-essiblc stop per, and may advantageously be used whetlua' it be confined in its movement wholly within the neck oi the bottle or allowed to move from the month to the bottom.
  • I would here I'Ollltll'k. that I am aware that gravitatling stoppin's were invented prior to my invention; but all such stoppers, so far as my knowledge extends, were of yielding or com-- prcssib'le 1n. terial, more or less liable to wear and get out oi shape. I prefer to confine the movements of the stopper to the neck of the bottle, or limit its movement to a spacc or chamber between the mouth and body of the bottle.
  • the stopper partly enters or rests in one or the other of those holding cavities or recesses, so as to be held at or near the base of the neck' while the bottle is being emptied. W hen the bottle .is opened by pressing back the stopper, the stopper is arrested by an obstruction at the lower part of the neck, and its passage into the body of the bottle is prevented. This obstruction is provided by eoi'itracting the lower part ofthe neck or inletto thebod yoi'the bottle.
  • the particular bottle I prefer to employ is formed, as will hereinafter be set forth, with a 'ballstopper placed in it duringits formation, and secured so as to have its movements confined to the neck of the bottle or between the mouth and body.
  • Figure 1 is a side View of the bottle; ,Fig'. 2, a longitudinal central. section of the neck and head of the bottle, showingthe stopper seated in the mouth in full lines, and resting at the base of the neck in dotted lines.
  • Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 3 3 of l ig. 1; Fig. 4, a similar sec tion on the line otl ig'. vl,and Fig. 5 aview of a tool suitable for forming the month and head of the bottle.
  • a is the gravitating stopper or glass ball; I), the ring of vulcanized indiarubber, cork, or other elastic material, placed in a groove, 0, around the interior ofthe mouth (Z d, the contraction at the lower part of the neck, and c c the reccssestor the ball to be in while the contents of the bottle are being poured out.
  • the drawing shows the bod-yet thcbotile to be shapcd like an ordinary soda-water bottle; but t may be of any form desired.
  • a tool shown at l ig. 5 is employed.
  • This tool is similar to the ordinary tongs heretolbre used for molding the heads of glass bottles in so far as regards-the parts required for shaping the head; but, in addition to each arm or limb of thetongscarrying at its ends half-molds Two such cavities or recesses are formed for shaping the interior of the head, as heretofore, they also.carry pieces f f for shaping its interior, These'parts are drawn together when the tongs are opened, so that they can readily enter the neck of a bottle and move 3 apart when the tongs are closed, and they then come into position for shaping the interior of the head, as shown in the drawing; The projections you the pieces f form a groove around the interior of the head, while at the same time the top of the head above where the -groove is formed is c ntracted so as to bring it to a less internal-diameter than the lower part of the head
  • the bottle is formed in the following manner: A bubble of glass is first blown, and is roughly reduced to the desired form by rolling and pressing it upon a stone. The roughlysha per bubble is then inclosed in a mold of the form desired, and the bottle is blown therein in the ordinary manner. When the bottle has been removed from the mold a glass marble, previously heated, is dropped into the bottle through the neck. The ring or head is then formed at the top of the neck in the ordinary manner by means of the tool above described.
  • the stopper By turning or partially rotating the bottle about its longitudinala-xis the stopper may be caused to enter or leave the recess by inanipnlatin g the bottle, as will readily be understood.
  • the her Inbefore described method 0 providing the bottlehaving the open end or mouth with a loose tumbling internal stopper adapted to move outward and up to theunouth to tightly close it, which consists in limiting the movement of the stopper (in moving away from and up to the mouth) to the neck of the bottle inside orbelow its mouth or point of discharge, the contents of such bottles, when emptying them, being caused to flow past the stoppers on the way to the mouths of the bottles, which are left wholly unobstructed.
