effect, may be thoroughly understood, we will now describe it and them in detail,
referring in so doing to the accompanying drawings which are to be taken as part of
this Specification and read therewith.
Fig. I is a sectional elevation.
Fig. 2 is a plan corresponding therewith.
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation.
a is the jar or bottle, 6 is the special seat; and c, the improved closing disc resting-
thereon.
This disc may be of paper, cardboard, or other suitable material.
The upper surface of the disc is flush with the top d of the neck of the jar.
The final cover or label is not shown in the drawings, inasmuch as it is not, by
itself, a part of the present invention. Its nature or kind in respect both of type,
size and style, are left entirely to the judgment of the user.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven--
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we-
claim is :-
1. The combination in a jar, or bottle, of a seat within the neck and below the
top of the neck by a distance equal to the thickness of the disc next mentioned, and
a disc of paper or other suitable material of a size to fit within the neck and to lie-
upon the said seat flush with the top of the neck, as set forth.
