IMPROVEMENTS IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED OR OTHER GASEOUS FLUIDS
Year: 1885

page_text: I DAN RYLANDS of Hope Glass Works Stairfoot near Barnsley, in the county of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED OR OTHER GASEOUS FLUIDS
to be as follows:-
.
I form around and on outside of bottle neck, and at a suitable distance from
mouth, two annular rings or collars, and in any position within the space or
portion of neck enclosed by the aforesaid collars I form a hole, of any desired
shape or size, which is punched or drilled through side of bottle neck. To work
around portion of bottle neck enclosed by the two annular rings or collars, I make
a hoop which may be composed of brass, iron, or, any other suitable material; on
the inside periphery of this hoop, I cement or attach by any other suitable means,
a piece of india-rubber, or a piece of any serviceable elastic substance. This piece
of india-rubber I make in such a form, that when the hoop with the said piece of
india-rubber attached to its inside periphery is placed around the portion of neck
enclosed by the two collars, in a certain position it will hermetically close the hole
formed in bottle neck, and by giving the hoop a portion of a turn in one direction
or the other, the portion of india-rubber which covered said hole, will become clear,
of it.
The portion of bottle neck which is enclosed by the two annular rings or collars,
may be of an oval or elliptical form, in which case the hoop I place around said
enclosed portion of neck of bottle also partakes of an oval or elliptical form, to suit
said portion of neck, I attach to the inside periphery of this oval hoop a belt of
india-rubber, or other suitable substance, it will be clearly understood that by
giving the hoop a turn or part of a turn in one direction or the other, the extreem.
points of the transverse internal diameter, of the india-rubber belt, will press
against the extreem points of the conguate external. diameter of the elliptically..
formed enclosed portion of bottle neck, and so cause portions of india-rubber belt
which are situated at the said extreem points to press tight against bottle neck, it
is at one or other of these points that I form a hole in bottle neck, and it will be
well understood that when the hoop has been turned to position, hereinbefore,
mentioned, the said hole will become hermetically closed.

page_text: By my hereinbefore described improvements any internally stoppered bottle may
be opened, without the aid of an opener, and does not require the ball, or internal
stopper to be pressed down.
To open my internally stoppered bottle having aerated or other gaseous fluids in
it, it is only necessary to turn the hoop in one direction or the other, when the
rubber or belt will get clear of hole forined in bottle neck, and the pressure will
escape through said hole and out of bottle thus causing the internal stopper to fall
by gravitation into bottle, when the contents may be poured out.
Improvements in Bottles for Containing Aerated or other
Gaseous Fluids, whereby the Opening of the same is
Facilitated.
I DAN RYLANDS of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot near Barnsley in the County
of York Glass Bottle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED OR OTHER GASEOUS
FLUIDS WHEREBY THE OPENING OF THE SAME IS FACILITATED and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-

I form around and on the outside of a Bottle neck, and at a suitable distance
from the mouth thereof, two annular rings ar collars, and in any position within
the space or portion of neck enclosed by the aforesaid collars, I form a hole of any
desired shape or size, which hole pierces through the side of bottle neck-To work
around portion of bottle neck enclosed by the two annular rings or collars, I make
a hoop which may be composed of wood, brass, iron, or any other suitable material;
on the inside periphery of this hoop I cement or attach by any other suitable
means, a piece of india-rubber, or a piece of any serviceable elastic substance-
This piece of india-rubber I make in such a form, that when the hoop with the said
piece of india-rubber attached to its inside periphery, is placed around the portion
of neck enclosed by the two collars in a certain position it will hermetically close
the hole formed in Bottle neck, and by giving the hoop a portion of a turn either
in one direction or the other, the portion of india-rubber which covered said hole
will become clear of it.
The portion of Bottle neck which is enclosed by the two annular rings or collars,
may be of an oval or elliptical form, in which case the hoop I place around said
enclosed portion of neck of bottle, also partakes of an oval or elliptical form to suit
said portion of neck-I attach to the inside periphery of this oval hoop, a belt of

page_text: maia-rubber or other suitable substance-It will, be clearly understood that by
giving the hoop a turn or part of a turn either in one direction or the other, the
extreme points of the transverse internal diameter of the india-rubber belt, will
press against the extreme points of the conjugate external diameter of the
elliptically formed enclosed portion of bottle neck, and so cause portions of india-
rubber belt which are situated at said extreme points, to press tight against bottle
neck, it is at one or other of these points that I form a hole in bottle neck; and it
will be well understood that when the hoop has been turned to position herein before
mentioned the said hole will become hermetically closed.
By my herein before described improvements, any internally stoppered bottle may
be opened, without the aid of an opener, and does not require the ball, or internal
stopper to be pressed down.
To open my internally stoppered Bottle having Aërated or other gaseous fluids
in it, it is only necessary to turn the hoop either in one direction or the other;
when the rubber or belt will get clear of hole formed in bottle neck, and the
pressure will escape through said hole and out of bottle, thus causing the internal
stopper to fall by gravitation into the bottle or neck, when the contents thereof
may be poured out.
In order to more clearly describe and make my invention fully understood
I hereunto attach drawings the following being a description of the same.
Fig. 1. is an elevation of improved bottle, fig. 2. a section taken on line b, b, of
fig. 1. when the hole in neck is hermetically closed, and fig. 3. a section taken on
line b, b, of fig. 1. when hole in neck is open or uncovered. Fig. 4. is a section on
line b, b, of fig. 1. when a modified form of valve rubber is used and shows, the
hole in neck covered or closed, and fig. 5. is a section showing the same open.
Fig. 6. is an elevation of modified form of improved bottle; fig. 7. is a section
taken on line m, m, of fig. 6. when valve is closed and fig. 8 a similar section when
valve is open.
Figs. 9 and 10. are sections taken on line, m, m, of fig. 6. when a hoop and
rubber similar to that of figs. 4 and 5 are adapted to an elliptically formed neck.
Referring to figs. 1. 2. 3. 4 and 5-The neck c of bottle a. has two rings or
collars d, d, the hole e, pierces the bottle neck and is situated in the portion of
neck c. enclosed by the collars d, d. The hoop f which may be composed of wood,
brass, iron or any suitable material, has a piece of india-rubber g, or other
serviceable substance attached, it may be cemented or attached in any suitable
fashion to the inside periphery of the said hoop f-The india-rubber g, may be
made in form shown at figs. 2 and 3 or in form shown at figs. 4 and 5.
When the
hoopf is in position shown at figs. 2 and 4 the india-rubber or other serviceable
substance g. hermetically seals or closes the hole e; and when the hoop f is moved
or turned to position shown at figs. 3 and 5 the rubber g, becomes clear of said
hole e.
Referring to figs. 6. 7. 8. 9 and 10. The portion of bottle neck c. which is
enclosed by the two collars d, d, is of an oval or elliptical form; the hoop ƒ figs. 7
and 8 is also of the same form and has a belt g, made of suitable elastic substance,
attached to its inside periphery-Fig. 7. shows the extreme points of the transverse
internal diameter of the belt g. pressing against the extreme points of the conjugate
external diameter of the elliptically formed enclosed portion c. of bottle neck; the
hole may he formed in neck at either of these points so that when the hoop is in
position shown at fig. 7 a portion of india-rubber belt g, hermetically closes the
hole e, but when the hoop f is turned to position shown at fig. 8 the belt g. becomes
clear of said hole e.
The hoopf and rubber g, shown at figs. 9 and 10 instead of being made elliptical
and so corresponding with the neck c. are made similar to the hoop f and rubber g,
n figs. 4 and 5. and are adapted to the said elliptically formed neck c. as shown.
By means of the hereinbefore described improvements any internally stoppered
bottle may be opened without the aid of an opener, and does not require the ball,
or internal stopper k, figs, 1, and 6, to be pressed down.

page_text: :
When it is required to open the herein described internally stoppered improved
bottle when said bottle has aerated or other gaseous fluids therein, it is only
necessary to turn the hoop f either in one direction or the other; this causes the
rubber g. to become clear of hole e, when the pressure will escape therefrom, and so
cause the internal stopper k to fall away from the mouth of bottle by means of
gravitation, and then the contents of said bottle may be poured out in the ordinary
manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
་
The combination with an internally stoppered Bottle for containing Aerated or
other gaseous liquids of a hoop having India-rubber or other suitable substance
attached thereto; the said hoop with India-rubber or other suitablo substance
attached working around the Bottle neck, and over a hole formed therein sub-
stantially as shown and described with reference to figures 1. to 10. of the
accompanying drawings or any mere modifications thereof."
