I HORACE WALTER DOVER of No. 22 Amwell Street Clerkenwell in the County
of Middlesex, Model Maker do hereby declare the nature of the said invention to be
as follows:
This Invention relates to a new and improved mode of constructing an
Instrument for opening internally stoppered bottles. The Opener I propose to
manufacture is one that hitherto I have made of wood with a metal tube to carry
off the rush of gas and liquid occasioned by the opening of the bottle, the tube
being inserted in the side of the opener and bent downwards, so as to carry the
first rush into the glass which is placed by the side of the bottle. I describe
merely to show the kind of Opener I propose to manufacture.
this
The method I adopt is to stamp or press up the parts out of sheet metal or
"blanks" and fit, solder, or otherwise fix them together. By this mode of con-
struction I obtain a lighter, stronger and more durable Opener than if made by
casting or turning.

I HORACE WALTER DOVER of 22 Amwell Street Clerkenwell in the County
of Middlesex Model Maker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MODE OF CONSTRUCTING OPENERS FOR INTERNALLY
STOPPERED BOTTLES 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 a new and improved mode of constructing an
Instrument for opening internally stoppered bottles The opener I propose to
manufacture is one that hitherto I have made of wood with a metal tube to carry
off the rush of gas & liquid occasioned by the opening of the bottle the tube being
inserted in. the side of the opener and bent downwards so as to carry the first rush
into the glass which is placed. by the side of the bottle.
I describe this merely to show the kind of opener I propose to manufacture
The method I adopt is to stamp or press up the parts out of sheet metal or blanks
and fit solder or otherwise fix them together. By this mode of construction
I obtain a lighter stronger and more durable opener than if made by casting or
turning.
In the drawings hereunto annexed I have shewn the opener as above described.
Figure 1 shews a section of the opener complete, Figure 2 elevation Figure 3
plan. Figures 45 6 and 7 shews the parts in section before they are put together
Figure 8 shews the rubber tube which fits on opener at point F figure 1, The
object of this rubber tube is to make a tight joint round the top of the bottle
when the opener is pressed down. By this mode of construction I have a space A
figure 1 between the inner and outer casings which however I prevent being filled
with liquid by bringing the tube C through the space A and connecting same at D
and E thus producing a direct outlet for the gas and liquid occasioned by the
forcing of the stopper and which is thus directed into the glass.
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
An instrument for opening internally stoppered bottles stamped or pressed up
out of sheet metal or blanks as herein substantially described.
