COME DELE DI MOTIVATION.
An Improved Bottle Stopper.
I, OTTO SAXINGER, of Lajos-Mizse, County of Pest, Kingdom of Hungary,
Apothecary, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to a bottle-stopper and consists of a bottle-
stopper which is adapted to be used also as a siphon, by means of which the
liquid contained in the bottle and being under a certain pressure, is forced out
automatically.
In the accompanying drawing
;
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved stopper,
i
Fig. 2 a vertical section in longitudinal direction on the line X-X of Fig. 3,
Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 2,
and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of a modification.
Fig. 5 is a vertical section in longitudinal direction on the line Y-Y of Fig. 4,
Fig. 6a longitudinal section of another modification.
a is a bottle stopper, consisting of any suitable but durable material, which
is adapted to close the neck of the bottle, and e is a rubber-packing.
The said bottle-stopper a is provided with a passage d, Fig. 2, in which a
small rode is moveably arranged. The rubber ring f serves as a tight packing
for the said rode and serves as a substitute for a spring in that the rubber ring
is pressed together, as soon as a pressure is imparted to it by means of the knob
or button g, and returns when the pressure is terminated and the rod moved to
its original position again.
The passage d is closed at its under end by means of the rubber plate 2.
According to the pressure in the bottle this rubber plate is more or less pressed
against the opening of the said passage. The rubber plate is fixed to the bottle-
stopper by means of small pins, or in a similar manner. is an outlet. If
the button is pressed down the rubber plate is moved downwards by means
of the rod e thus freeing the lower end of the passage and the liquid, being
under a certain pressure, immediately enters the said passage and leaves the
bottle though the opening h.
The glass tube & is at its upper end provided with a rubber ring / fitting tightly
in the bottle neck.
The bow m serves for fastening the bottle-stopper to the neck of the bottle.
The modification shown in Fig. 4 differs from the bottle-stopper just described
in that the same is provided with a small outlet passage ¹. The fastening of
the stopper takes place in the usual manner.
The modification shown in Fig. 6 differs from the stopper shown in Figs. 1
to 5 in that the rubber ring f is substituted by a spring, which is adapted to
bring the rod e, being pressed down by the button into its original position,
as soon as the desired quantity of liquid is drawn off from the bottle.
In this modification the passage is closed by the valve o, which by means
of the spring r, fitted to the rod e, is pressed against the under end of the passage.

page_text: Of course the rubber ring f need not necessarily be dispensed with as it may
be used as an additional means for providing an airtight closure of the said
passage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
(1) A bottle-stopper which may be used as a siphon consisting of the bottle-
stoppera with a passage d, in which a small rod eis moveably arranged, such
rode being tightly fitted in the passage d' by means of a rubber ring f and
adapted to operate a rubber plate i, closing the under end of the passage d so
that on pressing the rode downwards the rubber plate i is removed from the
passage d, thus allowing the liquid to enter the passage and to leave the bottle
through the outlet h substantially as described.
(2) In bottle-stoppers as above claimed providing a glass tube k, which is
tightly fitted to the bottle neck by means of a rubber ring 1 substantially as
described.
(3) The modification in bottle-stoppers herein claimed consisting of the valve o
for closing the under end of the passage d and a spring r fitted to the rod e for
returning the same to its original position, as soon as sufficient liquid has left
the bottle substantially as described.
