Complete Accepted, 9th Sept., 1887,
I, DAN RYLANDS, of Hope Glass Works, Stairfoot, near Barnsley in the county of
York, Glass Bottle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows :-
My present invention relates to such internally stoppered bottles as are fitted with a
hollow cap which screws into or upon the mouth of the bottle, and which are also closed
by means of a ball stopper.
I form such bottle having a groove for receiving an India rubber washer, inside of
the bottle mouth and above such groove I form a screw thread in the bottle mouth.
Into this screw thread I fit a cap formed with a suitable screw. At the bottom of this
screw cap or hollow tube I form two small projections.
This cap is formed with a recess round its head, and around the outside of the neck
of the bottle I attach two lugs or arms by means of wire or by other suitable means,
and these lugs or arms have hooked ends; and the cap is so formed that while these
hooked ends fit in the groove on the top of the cap, the cap can be turned round
freely either way and yet cannot be removed from the bottle.
These hooked lugs or arms are made somewhat similar to those described in Letters
Patent No. 2117 granted to me on the 24th May, 1880.
The two small projections on the inside of the screw cap assist in the opening of the
bottle, whilst the arms attached to the neck of the bottle and which work in the
groove on the top of the cap prevent the cap from being lost from the bottle, and these
two advantages are of great importance as will be well understood.
Dated this 12th day of November 1886.

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 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 internally stoppered bottles fitted with hollow caps which
either screw into or upon the mouth of bottle; and the objects of the invention are-
first to construct the hollow cap so that when it is sufficiently screwed into or upon
the mouth the internal stopper is forced from its seating, and the bottle is thereby..
opened; and second, to prevent the hollow cap being entirely unscrewed from the
mouth.
'I attain these objects in the manner hereafter described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of bottle mouth with
hollow cap attached; Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same taken at right angles to
Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an elevation of hollow cap; and Fig. 4 is a plan of same. Fig. 5 is
a sectional elevation of bottle mouth with improved hollow cap screwed on outside.
thereof.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the bottle mouth m has a groove g which receives
an India rubber ring or washer w. Above the groove 7 is a screw thread t; the
cap C is fitted or screwed into the mouth m and is made with a suitable screw t¹ for so
doing. At the bottom of the screwed portion of the cap C two or more small
projections p are formed. The cap C has a recess r formed on the top portion or
head d, and on the outside of the neck or mouth of bottle is, attached one or more lugs
or arms L by means of wire e, or the said lugs L may be secured to the mouth min
any other suitable way. The top portions 9 of the lugs L are formed in a hooked
shape and fit in a groove or recess; by this means the cap C can be turned or
screwed freely in either direction, but is prevented being entirely removed from the
bottle mouth m, as will be clearly understood by referring to Figs. 1 and 5.
Referring to Fig. 5, the mouth m has a. screw thread t formed on outside thereof,
and the cap C is threaded on the inside, so that it will screw on said mouth. The
hooked lugs L are made in form somewhat similar to those described in Letters Patent
No. 2117 granted to me on the 24th of May 1880.
When it is required to open the Bottle the cup C is screwed down either into
(Fig. 1) or onto (Fig. 5) mouth m of bottle, This causes the projections p p to press
the stopper K away from the "senting w; the stopper K thus falls, and the bottle is
then opened.

page_text: Before filling the bottle again the cap C is unscrewed, but it cannot be entirely
unscrewed or taken from the mouth m by reason of the hooked lugs L in connection
with the recess r.
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 :-
1. In connection with internally stoppered Bottles the adaptation of a screw cap C
to either screw within or upon the mouth m, such cap C being provided with any
suitable number of projections p for pressing on the internal stopper K and having a
recess or groove wherein fit the hooked ends g of lugs L which are suitably
attached, fixed or fitted to the bottle neck or mouth substantially as described and
illustrated and for the purpose specified.
