UNITED STATES PATENT QFFTCE.
HENRY V. PICK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO BERNARD NOONAN, OF NEW YORK,
BOTTLE-CLOSURE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY V. Pick, a subject of the EmperorofAustria-Hungary, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Bottle-Closure, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to a new and improved form of bottle closure, and is especially adapted for use with the form of bottles having a long neck as a handle portion.
An object of my invention is to provide a closure adapted to snugly fit about the mouth of a bottle, so as to prevent the entrance of dirt, dust or any foreign material to the liquid in the bottle.
A further object of my invention is to construct a bottle closure which normally closes the bottle but which is automatically opened as the bottle is grasped by the neck, to pour the contents from the mouth thereof.
A still further object of my invention is to construct the closure in two parts, so arranged that practically the entire mouth of the bottle is open while pouring.
lVith the above and other objects in view, as will more fully hereinafter appear, the present invention consists in certain novel details of construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of my invention in tilted position to show the closure open; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my improved closure attached to the neck of a water bottle; Fig. 3 is a rear view of the same; Fig. 4 is a plan view looking down upon my closure; and Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken in the plane indicated by the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
As shown in the drawings, I have disclosed a water bottle A having an elongated neck 13 and an open mouth 0. Positioned Specification of Letters Patent.
upon the edge of the opening C is a rim 1 Patented Dec. 2, 1913.
Renewed September 23, 1913. Serial No. 791,404.
having a series of vertical open-ended slots 2, to afford a spring tension, whereby the device is rcmovably aflixed to the bottle, and this rim further has a horizontally-projecting flat portion 8, to form with the rim, an angularly'disposed member, to snugly fit on the mouth of the bottle. As it is impossible to manufacture glass bottles with necks all of the same diameter, the slots 2 in the rim permit the snug fitting of the closure to bottles having mouths of approximately the same size. Disposed upon the flat portion 3 is a circular cover 1, split diametrically to form semi-circular portions 5, 5. In a line with the edge (3 formed by the meeting of the two halves or portions 5, 5, is a projecting lip 7 on each end, having a semi-circular aperture 8 on the edge of each half, both of which apertures form a recess to fit about a pin 9 to limit the inward movement of the two halves 5, 5. On the opposite end of this diamctrical out are oppositely-disposed L shaped lugs 1.0, the angular portion of each of which is pivoted at 11 to a bracket 12 extending outwardly from the upper edge of the rim 1. It will be seen by this arrange ment, that the halves are permitted to swing in opposite directions from each other, whereby to permit an uninterrupted flow of liquid from the bottle A out through the mouth C.
In order to prevent the filtration of dust or dirt between the edges 6, these edges are beveled in opposite directions, as shown at 13 in Fig. 5, and in order to prevent the eutrance of dust about the outer edges of the cap or closure 4:, this cap has a downwardlybent flange 14 extending circumferentially about the outer edges of the closure 4, to fit against the outside of the rim 1.
In order to keep the closure snugly in contact with the top flat surface 8, there is positioned on the side of the rim 1 and ben'eath the bracket 12, a projecting bracket 15, to which is fulcrumed a relatively broad flat lever 16 having a long arm extending some distance down along the side of the neck of the bottle, and having its upper end inturnod to form lugs 17 passing through recesses 18 formed between one leg of the lug 10 and the circular curved edge of the closure 41, which lugs 17 extend inward a short distance, as shown in Fig. 1, to press down upon the upper surface of the closure.
Intel-posed between the long arm of the lever 16 and the neck of the bottle, is a flat spring 9, having one end rigidly aflixed to the lever 16, and the free end thereof in spring-pressed engagement with the neck of the bottle. It will be noted by this arrangement that the short end of the lever 16 will always be in spring-pressed engagement with each half of the cover at a short distance offset from its pivoted point 11, thereby, through this lever arrangement, keeping the two halves of the cover in contact to close the mouth of the bottle.
In order to limit the outward movement of the parts of the cover, there is depending from each half thereof, a lug 20, which will come in contact with the inside of the mouth of the bottle, thereby preventing the springpressed lever from disengaging itself with the closure.
Many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof.
It is intended that all matters contained herein, in the above description, or shown in the accompanying drawings, shall be interpreted, as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claims is merely intended to cover all the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention, which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween, and that materials, sizes and relativities of parts are non-essential, except as called for in the claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. In a bottle closure, a rim adapted to fit the neck of a bottle, a two-part circular cover, the parts of which are slidable in opposite directions on said rim, an L-shaped lug projecting from each of said parts, and a spring-pressed lever fulcrumed to said rim, having one end extending parallel to and along the neck of the bottle and having the other end inturned to form lugs to press on the top of said parts through recesses in the L-shaped lugs, whereby the closure is pressed lnt-o firm engagement with the rim,
to afford a dust-tight connection between said members.
2. In a bottle closure, a rim adapted to fit on the mouth of a bottle, a closure piv oted to the top of said rim, a lever fulcrumed to said rim and bearing on top of said closure, whereby said closure is kept tightly in contact with said rim, and resilient means pressing said lever in contact with said closure.
3. In a bottle closure, a pivoted cover, an L-shaped lug extending from said cover adjacent the pivot, and a lever within and bearing on the outer leg of said lug acting as a lever to swing said cover on its pivot.
4. In a bottle closure, a pivoted cover, an L-shaped lug extending from said cover adjacent the pivot, a lever bearing on the outer leg of said lug to swing said cover on its pivot, and a spring on said lever to press said lever out of engagement with said lug and to press the top of said lever on the top of said cover to hold the same in closed position.
5. In a bottle closure, a rim, a cover pivoted to the top of said rim, a bracket extending from said rim, a lever fulcrumed to said bracket and engaging said cover to the inside of its pivotal point, and a spring having one end aflixed to said lever, the other end pressing against the bottle forcing said lever into engagement with said cover to hold the cover in position closing the mouth of the bottle.
6. In a bottle closure, a rim adapted to fiton the mouth of a bottle, a closure pivoted to the top of said rim, a lever fulcrumed intermediate its length to said rim, one end of said lever having inturned lugs thereon overlapping and bearing on the top of said closure, and a spring attached to the lever on the side of the fulcrum opposite to the side having the inturned lugs and adapted to bear on the bottle to press said lugs downward on said closure to maintain the same tight-1y in contact with said rim.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
