I HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of the Firm of Herbert Haddan and Co., of 18
Buckingham Street, Strand, W.C. London, Consulting Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, a communication to me from abroad by Louis
Bouneu, Glass Founder, of 24 Boulevard du Nord, Brussels, in the Kingdom of
Belgium, to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the manufacture of hermetic non-oxydizable
closing devices or capsules for the necks of bottles, jars, and receptacles of any
shape, dimensions and kind, and of any suitable material.
The improved capsule made be made of any suitable metal varnished or nickelled,
gilded or enamelled and provided inside with a cork or stopper serving to close the
orifice of the neck of the receptacle. In order to render the closing device airtight
a band of caoutchouc is placed outside on a ring, or otherwise arranged on the
neck of the receptacle, and upon which ring the capsule exerts pressure when
turned.
The capsule is cylindrical and fitted with a ring or band having raised portions
and formed with an inclined plane or surface, and to engage with studs or
mouldings made in one piece or otherwise and formed in or on the neck of the
receptacle. The ring is inserted in the capsule and secured therein by means of
metallic strips or other convenient fastening.

HERBERT JOHN HADDAN of the Firm of Herbert Haddan & Co., of 18
Buckingham Street, Strand, W.C. London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, a communication to me from abroad by Louis Bouneu,
Glass Founder, of 24 Boulevard du Nord, Brussels in the Kingdom of Belgium,
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object the manufacture of hermetic non-oxidizàble
closing devices or capsules for the necks of bottles, jars, and receptacles of any
shape, dimensions and kind, and of any suitable material.
The improved capsule may be made of any suitable metal varnished or nickeled,
gilded or enamelled, and provided inside with a cork or stopper serving to close
the orifice of the neck of the receptacle. In order to render the closing device
air-tight, a band of caoutchouc is placed outside on a ring, or otherwise arranged
on the neck of the receptacle, and upon which ring the capsule exerts pressure
when turned.
The capsule is cylindrical and fitted with a ring or band having raised portions
and formed with an inclined plane or surface, and to engage with studs or
mouldings made in one piece or otherwise and formed in or on the neck of the

page_text: receptacle. The ring is inserted in the capsule and secured therein by means of
metallic strips or other convenient fastening.
In the drawing
Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of a bottle neck D through the swellings or
rims, A representing the cork stopping, B the inclined plane of the ring of the
capsule and C the cylindrical wall of the capsule.
Fig. 2 illustrates in part the inclined plane in the capsule.
Fig. 3 is an exterior view of the capsule and
Figs. 4, 5, and 6 represent plan and elevation views of a receptacle provided with
studs instead of rims.
Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate the method of constructing the ring inserted into the
capsule, which is first cut out from a metal sheet, and then the part a is stamped
on. The ring is then brought into a die which raises the portions b; this done the
ring is inserted into the capsule which when seen from beneath takes the form
shown in Fig. 8.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
Improvements in closing and capsuling bottles, jars, and other receptacles
consisting of the suitably constructed capsule having inclined planes capable of
engaging sometimes by means of interposed rubber with rims, studs or other
equivalents made on the neck of the receptacle all substantially as illustrated and
-described.
