I DAN RYLANDS of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot, near Barnsley in the County of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows :-
This invention relates to Internally Stoppered Bottles, having a valve in their
necks and my present invention is in the improved construction of such valves, and
is intended for shaping such valves in such way as to admit of a freer passage for
the
gas from the Bottle.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 2. a front elevation of a Bottle neck with
improved valve therein.
Fig. 3. is a front view of improved valve and Fig. 4. is a front view of indent in
Bottle neck.
Fig. 5. is a section of modified form of improved valvo, and Fig. 6. is also a
section of modified form of improved valve.
The valve V. Figs. 1, 2, and 3, has a square or other shaped hole h, and on its
periphery suitable threads t, are formed which have any suitable number of horizontal
slots s, as shewn at Fig. 3. The threaded part t of the valve V, screws into the
indent H, which may also have horizontal slots u, but it is preferred not to have
slots u, when slots s are used or vice versâ not to have slots s, when slots u, are used.
In the hole h, a suitable stem m, is fitted to one end of which the disc D, is
secured by means of the washer or nut w. The vulcanized ball B, fits into the
valve V as shown and is securely held therein.
The valve V. may be made of glass, earthenware or any other suitable substance.
Referring to Fig. 4. the valve V is preferrably made of glass; a hole h, is formed
through it in which the stem m, fits. The pin P. passes vertically through the
valve V, and its ends form the thread which screws into the threads of the indent H.
The india rubber B, secured to the valve V, as shown.
Referring to Figs. 5. & 6 the valve threads t, of the valve V, are cast on the
stem m, and are formed of block tin or any similar substance. The stem m, has
suitable collars c and c¹ and the portion of the stem whereon the threads t, are
cast is made either square, octagonal, pentagonal or any other shape to prevent
its turning round in the substance forming the threads t.
Dated this 19th day of January 1887.

page_text: Improvements in Internally Stoppered Bottles.
I, DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot, near Barnsley, in the County
of York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer 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:-
My present Invention relates to internally stoppered Bottles which are fitted with
a valve in their necks, and my improvements consist in forming the said valve so
as to admit of a freer passage for the egress of the gas or pressure from the
Bottle, to attain which I construct the valves in the manner herein described and
illustrated by the drawings left with my provisional specification, of which drawings
the following is a description.
Fig. 1 is a sectional clevation, and Fig. 2 a front elevation of a Bottle neck fitted
with one form of my improved valve. Fig. 3 is a front view of said improved
valve, and Fig. 4 a front view of the indent in the Bottle neck wherein the said
valve works. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section of a modified form of my improved valve
and Fig. 6 is also a longitudinal section of another modified form of my improved
valve. Similar letters designate similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the valve V is made with a square or other
shaped hole and has formed on its periphery suitable threads t, which have any
suitable number of horizontal slots s as shown at Fig. 3. The threaded portion t
of the valve V screws into the indent H, which indent H may where preferred have
also horizontal slots u; but it is preferrable not to have slots u when slots s are
formed, or vice versa not to have slots s when slots u are formed.
In the hole a suitable stem m is fitted, to one end of which the disc D is secured
by means of a washer or nut w which may be either screwed onto the end of
stem m, or the end of stem m may be rivetted over said washer w. The vulcanised
ball B is fitted into the valve V as shown.
The fitting up of my improved valve, and the working thereof is as follows:-
The stem mis first fitted through the valve V, then the rubber or vulcanised ball B
is fitted therein, after which the valve V is screwed into the indent H a suitable
distance until the ball B hermetically seals up the hole formed through the neck at
the bottom of the indent H. After this is done the disc D is placed on the protruding
portion of the stem m, and then the washer weither screwed or rivetted thereon.
The flat space around the indent H is arranged as shown at Figs. 1, 2 and 4 so that
the disc D can only be turned round 180 degrees, but where preferred the flat part
may be made to extend round the indent H more or less than 180 degrees as may be
desired, but never whole of the way round; by this means the pressing round of the
disc D cannot entirely remove the valve V from the indent H.
After a Bottle constructed in the manner herein described has been filled with
aerated water or other gaseous liquid, to open the same the disc D is pressed either
to the right or left according to the form of threads t, by means of which the valve V

page_text: is screwed partially out of indent H and the ball B uncovers the hole formed through
bottle neck; this causes the gas or pressure to escape out of said hole along the
slots uors and to the atmosphere, and when sufficient gas has thus escaped the
weight of the atmosphere presses the internal stopper down into the Bottle, and
the contents thereof may then be poured out in the usual manner. Before filling the
Bottle again it is necessary to press back the disc D so screwing up the valve Vand
hermetically sealing up the hole formed at bottom of indent H.
The valve V may be composed of glass, earthenware, or any other suitable
substance.
Referring to Fig. 5, the valve V is preferrably made of glass, and a hole h is
formed through it, in which the stem m fits. The pin P passes vertically through
the valve V and its ends form the male thread which screws in the female threads
formed in the indent H. The india rubber or other washer B is secured to the valve
as shown.
Referring to Fig. 6 the valve threads are cast on the stem m, and may be composed
of block tin or other suitable substance. The stem m has suitable collars c and c
and the portion of stem m whereon the threads are cast is preferrably either
square, hexagonal, or other suitable shape to prevent the threads t turning thereon.
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. In combination with internally stoppered Bottles, the application of a valve V
having a stem m, disc D and rubber B, the valve V being screwed into an indent H
substantially as described and shown at Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the drawings left with
the Provisional Specification, and for the purpose specified.
2. The application to internally stoppered bottles of a valve V having a stem m
rubber washer B, thread P, and disc D, the valve V being screwed into an indent. H
substantially as described and illustrated at Fig. 5 in the drawings accompanying
my Provisional Specification, or any mere modification thereof.
3. In internally stoppered bottles the use of a valve V having a stem m and rubber
washer B together with a disc D, the valve V being screwed into an indent H
formed in the neck of the bottle, the whole arranged substantially as described and
for the purpose specified and as shown at Fig. 6 of the drawings left with the
Provisional Specification.
