IMPROVEMENTS IN STOPPERING BOTTLES
Year: 1885

page_text: We, FREDERICK AUGUSTUS BIRD, of 100, Moor Street, Birmingham, Ale and
Porter Merchant, and JOSEPH BEVERLEY FENBY, of Sutton Coldfield, in the County
of Warwick, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN STOPPERING BOTTLES, to be as follows:-
Our present Invention relates to improvements in stoppers for bottles having
necks formed on tools such as are described and illustrated in our specification
No. 2269, A.D. 1885.
We form our improved stopper with a stem which is a copy of the tool used
for forming the interior of the bottle neck; the grooves in the said stopper stem
being of the same shape as those in the tool used for forming the interior of the
bottle neck.
The stopper stem is thus, as nearly as may be, a perfect fit to the bottle neck.
The accompanying drawing shews a stopper of our improved form, suitable
for a bottle neck made on the tool described and illustrated in our specification
No. 2269 A.D. 1885.
The half sections of stoppers shew other shapes of grooves which may be adopted
in place of the square section of groove shewn in the stopper.
The present improved form of stopper is suitable for use with our first improved
bottle neck described and illustrated in our specification No. 5043, A.D. 1884.
The stopper shewn has two grooves, forming part of a double threaded screw,
but three or more grooves may be used for stoppers for wide necked bottles.

County of Warwick, Ale and Porter Merchant, and JOSEPH BEVERLEY FENBY,
of Sutton Coldfield, in the said County, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN STOPPERING BOTTLES and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
Our present Invention relates to improvements in stoppers for bottles, or other
vessels, having necks formed on tools such as are described and illustrated in our
specification No. 2269 A.D. 1885. We form our improved stopper with a stem
which is a copy of the tool used for forming the interior of the bottle neck; the
grooves in the said stopper stem being of the same shape as those in the tool used
for forming the interior of the bottle neck. The stopper stem is thus, as nearly as
may be, a perfect fit to the bottle neck. The accompanying drawing shews a
stopper of our improved form, suitable for a bottle made on the tool described and
illustrated in our specification. No 2269 A.D. 1885.
In the drawing accompanying the Provisional Specification are shewn other
forms of threads which may be used in place of a square thread. The present
improved form of stopper is suitable for use with our first improved bottle neck
described and illustrated in our specification No. 5048 A.D. 1884. The stopper
shewn herewith has two grooves, forming part of a double-threaded screw, but
three or more grooves may be used for stoppers for wide necked bottles.
Having 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 :-
The improved form or forms of stoppers described and illustrated. .
