mouth of any vessel by means of a screw which works in a band or clamp, which
goes across the disc & down each side of the neck of the vessel, being fixed to the
neck of the vessel by means of a hook in the band or a wire or band round the
neck of vessel to which the other band is attached or hooked the screw withdraws

CHARLES IRVINE CONYINGHAM BAILEY Stoneware Pottery Fulham Middlesex
and ALFRED BASDEN Traveller and Clerk 55 High St Fulham Middsex do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The accompanying drawing represents the stopper attached to a common beer
bottle A represents a double cranked arm or clamp turning upon a wire axle

page_text: marked B which also attaches the complete stopper to the neck of the bottle or jar
or the cranked arms may be hooked to the wire or band round the neck of the
vessel C is the screw working through the cranked arms or clamp as shown for
the purpose of raising or lowering the caseing or disc marked D, which contains
either cork rubber or any other suitable substance by which means sufficient pres-
sure can be brought on to the neck of the bottle marked E, to resist the necessary
pressure from within the vessel, it will be seen that when the caseing or disc
is raised by means of the screw marked C through the cranked arm or clamp
marked A, sufficiently high the whole of A, C, & D, will turn over on the axle
marked B on to the neck of the bottle or jar to allow the contents to be poured
or taken out or the vessel refilled.
It will be seen from the drawing that the wire axle marked B which also
attaches the stopper to the bottle is made or formed by means of bending the
wire then twisting same to form the axles' and after passing through the hole
provided in the cranked arms or clamp marked A, it is then opened at the ends
to prevent it slipping off, or to form an eye to which the cranked arms or clamp
may be hooked.
Haveing now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1 The stopper is to afford increased facility and economy in the corking or
covering of bottles jars and other similar vessels requiring to be kept perfectly
air tight & which can be readily attached to, or removed from, bottles jars and
other similar vessels of any size or description.
2nd By means of the screw marked C the stopper or disc can be easily raised or
lowered on to the neck of the vessel with sufficient pressure to render the vessel
perfectly air tight and being securely fastened to the vessel it cannot possibly be
lost and is easily opened or closed by the thumb and finger on the milled edge of
the disc or caseing marked D.
3rd It can be made of any kind of metals also the disc and screw may be made
of earthenware or glass and ground into the neck of bottle or of vulcanite or similar
materials.
