Title: Improvements in Sheet Metal Stoppers for Bottles, Jars, Cans or other Receptacles.
Inventor: WEISSENTHANNER ALFRED LOUIS
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 29,507. Weissenthanner, A. L. Nov. 18, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Stoppers; capsules, bottle &c.-Relates to sheetmetal stoppers for bottles, jars, cans, &c. The stopper, Fig. 1, is provided with a depending flange 2, a portion 4 of which is bent inwardly, as shown. When the stopper is applied to a receptacle, as shown in Fig. 5, the portion 4 engages the mouth of the vessel, and, by yielding, causes the parts 7 of the flange 2 to be forced into close contact with the vessel. If desired, the flange may also be crimped under a locking-shoulder on the vessel. To facilitate the removal of the stopper, the flange is formed with recesses 8 and weakened by a number of circumferential cuts 3, adjacent to which are stiffening- ribs 6, and a tongue or lever 9 is provided by means of which the flange may be ruptured. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the flange is formed with a number of depending portions 15, above each of which is a cut 16. A stiffened tongue 17 is provided, by means of which the metal may be ruptured to release the stopper. The releasing- tongue may, however, be formed by a depending portion of the flange similar to, but larger than, the portions 15. This releasing-member may be stiffened by vertical ribs, and is preferably provided with a bead on its lower edge, to facilitate its manipulation. Figs. 13 and 14 show a form of stopper adapted for a vessel formed with an outwardly - extending surface 27. When the stopper is applied to the vessel, the portion 7 of the flange is forced outwards, causing the part 26, below the cut 3, to move inwards and engage under a bead on the mouth of the vessel.
