A New or Improved Mould for Casting Stoppers for Bottles and
the like.
I, JAMES HICKLING 18 Ancliff Street, Stepney London Retired Naval
Brigade's Man do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved mould for casting stoppers for
bottles and the like, and consists in so constructing and arranging the mould that
the screw of the stopper is cast without a seam and the same is carried out as
follows:-
The mould is formed of two parts, the part which forms the screw thread on
the stopper being undivided & the part which forms the remaining portion of
the stopper being divided or formed in two parts in order to facilitate the
removal of the stopper when cast. It will be seen that in as much as the scrow
thread upon the stopper is formed in the undivided part of the mould it will be
seamless
