I, EUGÈNE CAURETTE, of Pierrefonds-les-Bains (Département de l'Oise) in the
Republic of France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of screw
capsules for stoppering jars, bottles and like vessels.
The said improvements consist chiefly in the method of securing a disc of cork
or other similar substance in the bottom of the capsule and of providing
a projecting surface all round the capsule whereby it can be gripped with
greater facility between the fingers for screwing it on to, or unscrewing it from,
the neck of a jar, bottle or the like. Another improvement consists in the
combination with the screw portion of the capsule, which is furnished or not
with a disc of cork or other suitable material, of a smooth ring enclosing the
said screw part so as to conceal it and at the same time protect it from damage.
In carrying out the invention I may form the capsule in three parts, that is
to say, a circular bottom, a screw ring and a cork disc. The edge of the bottom
is first turned over to form a cylindrical portion the lower edge of which is then
bent under inwardly so as to provide an inturned flange; the upper edge of
the ring is bent outwards and upwards to form a flange which engages with
the inturned flange of the bottom. The cork disc is held between the bottom
and the ring flange, and as the latter is held by the inturned edge of the bottom,
the disc, when once placed in position, cannot become detached.
The lateral face of the bottom is milled to give the necessary hold to the
fingers when it is desired to screw the capsule upon, or to unscrew it from, a
bottle neck.
The capsule can also be made in four parts, that is to say, á circular bottom,
a screw-threaded ring, a cork disc and a plain ring. The upper edge of this
latter ring is bent outwards and is inserted between the flanges of the bottom
and of the ring formed as herein before described.
The cork disc can be replaced by a washer of india-rubber or any other
material suitable for forming a good joint or it can be dispensed with; the
bottom may be plain or decorated in any suitable manner, such as by designs,
advertisements, firm names etc. which can also, if desired, be applied to the
plain ring or envelope.

page_text: I, EUGÈNE CAURETTE, of Pierrefonds-les-Bains (Département de l'Oise) in the
Republic of France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of screw
capsules for stoppering jars, bottles and like vessels.
The said improvements consist chiefly in the method of securing a disc of cork
or other similar substance in the bottom or head of the capsule and of providing
a projecting surface all round the capsule whereby it can be gripped with
greater facility between the fingers for screwing it on to, or unscrewing it from,
the neck of a jar, bottle or the like. Another improvement consists in the
combination with the screw portion of the capsule, which is furnished or not
with a disc of cork or other suitable material, of a plain ring enclosing the
said screw part so as to conceal it and at the same time protect it from damage.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a view half in section and half in elevation of a capsule embody-
ing the first of the said improvements and,
Figure 2 is a similar view of a capsule embodying the second improvement.
In carrying out the invention I may form the capsule in three parts as shewn
in Figure 1, that is to say, a circular bottom or head a, a screw ring b and a
cork disc c. The edge of the head a is first turned over to form a cylindrical
portion 1, 2, the lower edge of which is then bent under inwardly so as to pro-
vide an inturned flange 2, 3; the upper edge of the ring b is bent outwards
and upwards to form a flange which engages with the inturned flange 1, 23,
of the head a. The cork disc c is held between the head a and the flange of
the ring b and as the latter is held by the inturned edge 2, 3 of the head a the
disc, when once placed in position, cannot become detached.
The lateral face 1, 2 of the head a is milled to give the necessary hold to
the fingers when it is desired to screw the capsule upon, or to unscrew it from,
a bottle neck and to assist the union of the head a and ring b.
The capsule can also as illustrated in Figure 2, be made in four parts, that is
to say, a circular head a, a screw-threaded ring b, a cork disc c and a plain
ring d. The upper edge of this latter ring is bent outwards and is inserted
between the flanges of the head a and of the ring b formed as herein before
described.
The cork disc can be replaced by a washer of india-rubber or any other
material suitable for forming a good joint or it can be dispensed with; the
head a may be plain or decorated or marked in any suitable manner, such as
with designs, advertisements, firm names etc. which can also, if desired, be
applied to the plain ring.
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 screw capsule for stoppering jars, bottles and like vessels made in two
or more parts connected by their flanged edges in the manner described with
the object of facilitating the manufacture and assisting in securing the cork,
rubber or like discs with which the head of the capsule may be furnished, sub-
stantially as set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture a screw capsule made according to

page_text: Claim 1 comprising a head a, a screw ring 6 and a disc c of cork, india rubber
or the like, the said different parts being connected together by flanging and
milling the edges thereof as herein before described and illustrated in Figure 1
of the accompanying drawing.
3. As a
new article of manufacture a screw capsule made according to
Claim 1 comprising a head a, a screw ring b, a plain ring d and a disc c of
cork, india rubber or the like, the said different parts being united together by
flanging and milling the edges thereof as hereinbefore described and illustrated
in Figure 2 of the accompanying drawing.
