Stopper for Bottles.
I, CARL SIMON, Workmaster of Ottweiler in the Province of Rhineland and
Kingdom of Prussia do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The stopper represented in the drawing and to be described secures on the one
hand a safe closing of the bottle during transit or when stored away by means of
the cover and on the other hand the bottle is easily opened when in use.
Both these advantages are obtained by a wedge of a greater length than the
diameter of the cover being placed above the cover, the wedge hanging at the
one end in a bow while a loose bow touches the other end.
When the wedge is pushed towards the loose loop a strong pressure is exercised
on the cover lying beneath it which makes it impossible for the cover to open of
itself.
In the drawing A is the bottle head round which is laid the ring c carrying the
loops a and b. To the loop a which bears the cover d is attached the wedge e
which in order to prevent its falling out of the loop, has at the further end a kind
of head e, at the other end on the contreary a pin e..
The loop b serves to hold the wedge fast, and, as will be seen from Fig. 1 of the
drawing, is pushed over it for this purpose.
While, as was mentioned above, this stopper affords a sufficient security against
the bottle opening of itself when in transit or in the cellar, the stopper can be
loosened by a slight blow against the front end of the wedge.
Dated this 10th day of November 1896.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Stopper for Bottles.
I, CARL SIMON, Workmaster of Ottweiler in the Province of Rhineland and
Kingdom of Prussia 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:-
The stopper represented in the drawing filed with the Provisional Specification
and now to be described secures on the one hand a safe closing of the bottle
during transit or when stored away by means of the cover and on the other hand
the bottle is easily opened when in use.

page_text: Both these advantages are obtained by a wedge of a greater length than the
diameter of the cover being placed above the cover, the wedge hanging at the
one end in a bow while a loose bow touches the, other end.
When the wedge is pushed towards the loose loop, a strong pressure is exercised
on the cover lying beneath it, which makes it impossible for the cover, to open
of itself.
In the drawing A is the bottle head round which is laid the ring c carrying
the loops a and b.
To the loop a which bears the cover is attached the wedge e which in order
to prevent its falling out of the loop, has at the further end a kind of head e¹,
at the other end on the contrary a pin ea.
b
The loop serves to hold the wedge fast, and, as will be seen from Fig. 1 of the
drawing, is pushed over it for this purpose.
While, as was mentioned above, this stopper affords a sufficient security against
the bottle opening of itself when in transit or in the cellar, the stopper can be
loosened by a slight below against the front end of the wedge.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim, is: ...
Bottle-stopper, distinguished by a wedge (e) guided in a loose loop (a) and
pressed on the cover (d) by means of a loop pushed over the narrow end of the
wedge.
