PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoppering Bottles and Jars.
I MICHAEL FORAN, Color-sergeant in 1st Battalion, The Royal Irish Rifles,
Millmount Barracks, Duleek Road, Drogheda, Ireland, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in stoppering bottles and jars so that the
stopper is securely held therein without any screw or wireing as at present.
I provide round the inside of the neck of bottle or jar a projecting ring and
above this ring I make a hole or slot in each side of the neck of bottle or jar, the
said holes coming exactly opposite each other. I provide the stopper (which may
be made of any suitable material) with a transverse hole. On the aforesaid
projecting ring I place an elastic washer of such thickness that when the stopper is
pressed down, the transverse hole in same shall come opposite the aforesaid holes
or slots in the neck of bottle or jar, so that a pin may be passed through the holes
in neck of bottle or jar, and through stopper in order to secure same.

Improvements in Stoppering Bottles and Jars.
I MICHAEL FORAN, Color-sergeant in 1st Battalion, The Royal Irish Rifles,
Millmount Barracks, Dulcek Road Drogheda Ireland, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in stoppering bottles and jars so that
the stopper is securely held therein without any screw or wireing as at present.
I provide round the inside of the neck of the bottle or jar a projecting ring and
above this ring I make a hole or slot in each side of the neck of the bottle or jar,
the said holes coming exactly opposite to each other. I provide the stopper (which
may be made of any suitable material) with a transverse hole. On the said
projecting ring I place an elastic washer of such thickness that when the stopper
is pressed down, the transverse hole in same shall come opposite to the aforesaid
holes in the neck of the bottle or jar so that a pin may be passed through the
holes in the neck of the bottle or jar and through the stopper in order to secure
same.

invention, the stopper k is put into the mouth of the jar and pressed down until the
hole comes opposite to the holes e e in the neck of the jar, the pin m is then
inserted through the holes e e and the hole i thus securing the stopper in the
bottle or jar as shewn in Fig. 2, the washer y making the stopper tight.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
