Complete Specification Left, 16th Oct., 1895-Accepted, 16th Nov., 1895
I, TOM KILNER, of the Firm of Kilner Brothers, Thornhill Lees, in the County
of York, Glass Bottle Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to an improved form of bottle neck, in which I make two
or more indents or grooves in the top rim or flange of a bottle. A capsule made
with wings is employed which after passing down the indents or notches is turned
partially around or twisted in such a way as to bind the wings or projections under
the flange of the bottle neck for the purpose of stoppering the bottle and making
it airtight.
In order to ensure the capsule fitting tightly under the notched flange the wings
on the capsule may be bevilled so that on being turned partially, round they are
made to bind tightly under the flange of the bottle. Instead of indenting the top
flange of the bottle in the manner described, the top flange may be made oblong,
square or other angular shape where the flange overhangs more at one part than
another, a capsule having wings as before described being used to stopper the
bottle.
Dated this 16th day of January 1895.

I, TOM KILNER, of the Firm of Kilner Brothers, Thornhill Lees, in the County
of York, Glass Bottle Manufacturers, 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 an improved form of bottle neck in which I make two
or more indents or grooves in the top rim or flange of the bottle. A capsule made
with wings is employed which after passing down the indents or notches is turned
partially around or twisted in such a way as to bind the wings or projections under
the flange of the bottle neck for the purpose of stoppering the bottle and making
it airtight.
Such being the nature and object of my invention I will now proceed to describe
the same more fully and for this purpose make reference to the accompanying
sheet of drawings wherein :-
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a bottle neck shewing my improvements therein, and
Fig. 2 is plan view of same.
A represents the top rim or flange of the bottle and B the indents or grooves
down which the wings or projections on the capsule are passed previous to being
turned or twisted under the flange or rim A. Instead of indenting the top flange

page_text: or rim A of the bottle in the manner described and shewn, the said rim or flange A
may be made oblong, square or other angular shape so that the rim or flauge
overhangs more at one part than another, as illustrated in plan view Fig. 3 where
the projecting rim or flange A is shewn oval, the wings of the capsule being in this
case introduced under the contracted part of the rim and then twisted around in
either direction to lock themselves under the elongated part of the rim. By the
means herein described the bottle is made perfectly airtight and the contents kept
much safer than by using an ordinary cork.
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
claim is :-
:―
Firstly. The manufacture of a bottle neck having two or more grooves such
as B formed in the overhanging top rim or flange A of the bottle in the manner
and for purposes substantially as shewn and described with reference to Figs. 1
and 2.
Secondly. The manufacture of a bottle neck having an oval or angular flange
or rim for purposes described and as illustrated in Fig. 3.
