Complete Specification Accepted, 16th Mar., 1889
I FREDERICK FOSTER of Niagara Works Eagle Wharf Road Hoxton in the
County of Middlesex Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to externally stoppered bottles or jars for containing still
or aërated liquids or other articles requiring an air tight stopper.
The accompanying drawings represent the neck of a bottle with its stopper, Fig. 1
being a sectional elevation and Fig. 2 an elevation at right angles to Fig. 1. In
both the figures the same reference letter indicates the same part.
A is a bale permanently attached to the bottle neck being hinged in indentations
formed at opposite sides outside the neck of the bottle. B is a vertical annular
groove preferably undercut so as to hold securely a ring of india rubber or other
elastic material upon which the stopper or cover Crests.
The stopper or cover C is formed with a raised portion against which the bale A
bears so as to put a pressure upon the stopper or cover and so make an
air-tight joint in contact with the elastic material contained in the annular groove B.
The seating for the stopper being fixed in the bottle neck, the stopper or cover C
may be produced at such a small cost as to make its loss of no consequence if it
bears an advertisement upon it. It need not therefore be attached to the bale.
disc of parchment or parchment paper or such like material may be interposed
between the top of the bottle and the stopper or cover C to separate the contents of
the bottle or jar from contact with the stopper or cover C when the same is made of
any material which by contact would in any way affect the contents of the bottle
or jar.

I FREDERICK FOSTER of Niagara Works Eagle Wharf Road Hoxton in the
County of Middlesex Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to internally stoppered bottles or jars suitable for containing
still or aërated liquids or other articles requiring an air tight stopper.
The accompanying drawings represent the neck of a bottle fitted with its stopper
Fig. is a view of the bottle neck with its cover or stopper closed and secured in
position. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the cover or stopper released and removed.
In both the figures the same reference letter indicates the same part.
A is a bale permanently attached to the bottle neck being hinged in indentations at
opposite sides outside the neck of the bottle. B is a vertical annular groove pre-
ferably undercut so as to hold securely a ring of india rubber or other elastic
material upon which the stopper or cover C rests."
The stopper or cover C is formed with a raised portion against which the bale A
bears so as to put a pressure upon the stopper or cover C and so make an air tight
joint in contact with the elastic material contained in the annular groove B.
The seating for the stopper being fixed in the bottle neck the stopper or cover C
may be produced at such a small cost as to make its loss of no consequence if it
bears an advertisement upon it. Therefore it need not be attached to the bale.
A disc of parchment or parchment paper or such like material may be interposed
between the top of the bottle and the stopper or cover C to separate the contents of
the bottle or jar from contact with the stopper or cover when the same is made of
any material which by contact would in any way affect the contents of the bottle
or jar.
In some cases a sufficiently air tight joint may be

I claim is
1. In externally stoppered bottles the combination of the elastic seating con-
tained in a vertical annular groove formed in the bottle neck with a detached
stopper or cover, and a bale by which the stopper or cover may be secured in
contact with the seating substantially as described and illustrated in the accom
panying drawings.

3. In externally stoppered bottles the combination of a bottle with annular
