Improvements in or relating to Stoppering and Opening Bottles and
other Vessels.
CARLO ANGELO DAINESI of Milan in the Kingdom of Italy Mechanical
Engineer at present residing at Nos. 35 and 37 Warner Street Clerkenwell in the
County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
1. I produce the closing of bottles or other receivers (for example lemonade
soda-water) with a spherical ball, or a cylindric piece having both ends more or
less conic or of spherical form, or also flat or semi-flat form massive or not; when
the bottles are being filled and stopped the surface projecting of said stopper is
placed in such manner that with a finger pressure the stopper abandon the closed
position and falls inside of the receiver without the use of any tool.
2. produce the seat of the stopper with ring or rings of elastic or flexible
material or materials having circular section, or only round which produce the
contact and seat of the said stopper.
3. When required to fix the elastic ring or rings in the hollow or hollows I use
ordinary glue, plaster or cement.
4. To prevent in closure of bottles or other receivers to give away the elastic ring
or rings of which there are the seat of the stopper I produce the hollow or hollows
with circle form, but open about a third of its diameter to permit the entrance and
holding the ring.
5. To permit the internal stopper or stoppers from blocking at the mouth of the
bottles whilst pouring out the liquid I produce at the bottles or receivers (more or
less under the seat of the stopper) a circular step if the receiver has cylindrical
form and all round step when the receiver has another form, the said step or seat is
made in a maner that the stopper will not block the liquid unless the bottle or
receiver is vertically upside down.
6. For placing easy the ring or rings in the hollow or hollows of bottles or other
receivers I use a special tool, composed of a circular plate of the same diameter of
the inside of the neck or mouth of the receiver, this plate has a perpendicular
handle in the centre on which run a tube of same diameter as the plate.
7. To prevent any inconvenience in opening ordinary bottle or receiver of fragile
materials containing in addition compressed gas I use to unite at the ordinary tool
opener for the said kind of bottles a funnel or protection of sheet metal cobweb, or
metal mail or also of wood.
8. In detachable stopper for bottles or other receiver I use ring or rings of any
elastic material, of triangular shape, or quarter-circle in section, to hermetically.
close them I use glue or any other ordinary cement to all kinds of rings or packing
to attack them to the stopper and thus prevent theirs loss.
9. I use make detachable stoppers "of glass" massive or not.
10. In making screw-stopper I do two or more thread.
11. At the head of any kind of stoppers I make the corners more
round.

I CARLO ANGELO DAINESI of Milan in the Kingdom of Italy, Artisan at
present residing at Nos. 35 and 37 Warner Street, Clerkenwell in the County of
Middlesex, 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 :-
The object of this my invention is for facilitating the mode of stoppering and
opening bottles or other vessels and also some new manner of manufacturing
them.
I produce the closing of bottles or other receivers containing in addition of
compressed gas, with a spherical ball or a cylindric piece having both end more or
less conic or of spherical form, or also flat or semi-flat, massive or not, of glass or
any other suitable material.
At the neck of the bottles, in the mouth (inside) I produce the seat of the ring-
packing in such manner that, when the bottles are being filled and stopped, have a
projecting surface of said stopper and with a finger pressure the stopper abandons
the closed position and falls inside of the receiver without use of any tools, and is
also avoided the danger of any inconvenience especially with bottles of fragile
materials.
To prevent in closures of bottles or other vessels to give away the elastic ring
or rings-packing of which, here are the seat of the stopper, I do the hollow or
hollows with swallow-tail form (inside) or with arch form, but open about a third
of its circular, to permit the entrance and holding ring or rings. I do also when
required rings (of india rubber) cut out from tubes made of about th of his
thickness (inside) soft and the 4th outside of harder sort of indiarubber, then when
are vulcanised in this manner I obtain rings in such mode when they are forced in
his bottle seat, with difficulty they give way.
To prevent the internal stopper or stoppers from blocking at the mouth of the
bottles or other vessels, with (more or less under the seat of the stopper) a circular
step, if the bottle or vessels has cylindric form, or a all round on other shape; the
said step or seat is made in a manner that the stopper will not block the liquid
unless the bottle or vessels are vertically upside down. I do at any kind of
detachable stopper for bottles or other vessels, with the point of the seat for the
elastic hoop-packing of said stopper with an all round cornice or frame with the
shape of a quarter-circle in section (regular or irregular) in such manner that
reclothed with a hoop, cut out from an india rubber or other suitable material
"tube;" so form a fine and effective packing. I do in closures of bottles or other
vessels, when wanted, by screw-stopper with two or more threads, obtaining with
this method, of opens the screw-stopper by only a half turn, and have the mouth of
the bottles or vessels stronger. I produce also when required, at any kind of
screw-stopper, with the head flat-arched end in both sides for to embrace easy with
hand fingers, in closing or opening said screw-stopper. I produce said my new or
improved screw-stopper, or any other suitable articles, (for stoppering bottles or
vessels) of glass or other materials, when they are in plastic condition, by a special
continuous revolving or alternate combination roller-stamp, having dies in one piece
with same spur gear, or fixed on.
