Improvements in Stoppering Bottles.
We, THOMAS BARTLETT, and EDWIN WILLIAM BARTLETT, both of 27 Upper
George Street, Luton, in the County of Bedfordshire, Straw Hat Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in stoppering bottles, which consists of a
tapered hole through the neck of the bottle opposite the usual india rubber ring in
which we insert a suitable metallic plug with a button on the outside.
The object of the plug is to force the india rubber ring away from the neck of
the bottle by pressure on the button thereby allowing the gas to escape and the
ball stopper to fall downwards.
It will be understood that the shapes of the hole in the neck of the bottle and
the plug may be varied in section.
Dated this 97th day of October 1893.
