Improvements in Stoppering Bottles for Containing Milk and
the like.
I, ALFRED KEMPSON, of 26, Mark Lane, in the city of London, Merchant do heroby
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 invention is to provide simple means of stoppering bottles
for containing milk and the like which have to be quickly used consequently
necessitating frequent cleansing of the stopper.
For this purpose I provide the mouth of the bottle with an internal screw thread
into which can be screwed a screw stopper of wood, the joint between the shoulder
of the stopper and the mouth of the bottle being formed by means of a loose ring
or washer of a suitable cheap material such as paper, cardboard, paper pulp or
the like which ring or washer is renewed each time the bottle is filled.
In the accompanying drawing figure 1 represents a vertical section of the neck
of a bottle stoppered according to my invention; figure 2 is an elevation of the
stopper and figures 3 and 4 are a plan and section of the loose ring or washer which
I use in combination with the said stopper. Similar letters in all the figures
represent similar parts.
a, is the mouth of the bottle, b, is the internal screw thread of the same and c, is
the screw stopper of wood; d, is the ring or washer which I make of suitable cheap
material such as paper, cardboard, paper pulp or the like and which has an internal
diameter such as will allow of its being passed over the thread of the stopper the
ring or washer then fitting the stem of the stopper loosely; the stopper c,
screwed into the mouth a, of the bottle when the loose ring or washer d, will form
a joint between the shoulder e, of the stopper and the mouth a, of the bottle as shewn
in figure 1.
is then
The stoppers being made of hard wood will not shrink or swell and therefore
can be freely scalded whilst the cost of the rings or washers which can advantageously
be made of wood pulp is so small that they can be renewed each time the bottle
is filled.
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 :-
The combination with a screw stopper to be used for stoppering bottles containing
milk and the like of a loose ring or washer of suitable cheap material such as those
herein referred to.
