PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoppering Bottles.
I, JAMES SHAW, of 50, Ackers Lane, Stalybridge, in the County of Lancaster,
Washing and Wringing Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in stoppering bottles and has for its
object to provide means which will permit a ready bottling, either of beer, spirits,
mineral or aerated waters or other fluid and facilitate the drawing off of the
same wholly or in small quantities without entirely removing the stopper from
the bottle.
To this end my improvements consist in employing the stopper in the bottle
neck transversely, in such a manner that on pushing the same into the neck it
closes the bottle and on drawing it out partially, opens the same.
The said stopper is fitted into a hole of corresponding size formed in the bottle
neck, the free end of the stopper being received by a corresponding recess formed
internally in the bottle neck opposite to the said hole.
The said stopper form of glass or any other suitable material covered with
cork, rubber, or any other suitable material which will afford a tight joint.
In lieu of forming the stopper with a cover as described it may consist of glass
or other suitable material only and the respective hole in the bottle neck may be
lined with the material described which would otherwise form the cover for the
stopper.
Dated this 16th day of April 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoppering Bottles.
I, JAMES SHAW, of 50, Ackers Lane, Stalybridge, in the County of Lancaster,
Washing and Wringing Machine Maker, 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:—
This invention relates to improvements in stoppering bottles and has for its
object to provide means which will permit a ready bottling either of beer, spirits,
mineral or aerated waters or other fluid and facilitate the drawing off of the
same wholly or in small quantities without entirely removing the stopper from
the bottle.
To this end my improvements consist in employing the stopper in the bottle neck
transversely, in such a manner that on pushing the same into the neck it closes the
bottle and on drawing it out wholly or partially opens the same.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a bottle stoppered in accordance with my invention, the
neck thereof and stopper being shown in cross section,
Fig. 2 is a similar view, but with neck and stopper shown in longitudinal section.
Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 4 a longitudinal section of bottle neck and stopper, in view and partly with-
drawn, showing a modification of my invention.

page_text: In carrying out my improvements, the stopper a is fitted into a hole of corre
sponding size formed in the bottle neck c, the free end of the stopper a being
received by a corresponding recess formed internally in the bottle neck e opposite
to the hole b.
The stopper a form of glass or any other suitable material covered with cork d.
rubber, or any other suitable material which will afford a tight joint.
In lieu of forming the stopper a with a cover d as described, an ordinary cork
or a stopper of glass or other suitable material may be used and in the latter case
the hole and recess, in the bottle neck e, may have a lining d' of cork, rubber,
or the like, as shown in Fig. 4.
In order to prevent the stopper a from being entirely withdrawn or getting
lost, I may provide the same with a link which embraces the neck of the bottle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I wish it to be understood
that do not confine myself to the exact shape or form of stopper and bottle
neck, as the same may be varied without departing from the nature of my inven
tion, but what I do claim is
In stoppering bottles."
The necke formed with a hole band recess b', adapted to receive transversely
the stopper a, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
