STEPHEN S. NEWTON, OF B IN GHAMTON NEW YORK.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,023, dated July 10, 1877; application filed April 26 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STEPHEN S. NEwToN, of Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Oorks for Bottles, of which the following is a specification The object of my invention is to construct a stopper which shall be especially adapted for use in bottles containing liquid blacking, mucilage, or other similar material, which is apt to stick thecork to the neck of the bottle.

Figure 1 is-a perspective view of the upper part of a bottle having my stopper applied thereto. Fig. 2 isa vertical section. Fig. 3 is a detached view of the cork portion of the stopper, and Figs. 4 and 5 are plan views of the metal clamping-plate.

A is the bottle, which may be of any usual or approved construction.

B B is the wooden portion, B being a plug which enters the neckof the bottle, the part B having a projecting flange, made, by pref.- erence, wide enough to extend to the full external diameter of the neck. l

O is a cylinder or ring of cork or other elastic material fitting closely the plug B and the neck of the bottle.

D is a stem or shank, arran ged centrally within the wooden part- B B.

This stem may or it may extend entirely through and be riveted at the upper end of part B, or it may be made wedgeshaped at its upper end and driven into a hole through the wooden part from the upper end, and the hole above it plugged up, as shown, or other means may be adopted for securing it firmly in the plug.

E is a clamping-plate provided with pro- .inder and the shank D agai jecting points or spurs c, Fig. 4, or and a hole, a, to receive shank D.

After the shank D and elastic ring 0 have been applied to the part B B the clampingplate is forced into the position shown in Fig. 2, the spur .9 being turned up at right angles to the body of the plate and entering the part 0. The plate is now soldered fast to the shank.

It will be readily seen that this combination of parts renders the breakage of the cork 0 almost impossible with ordinary handling.

When the plate shown in Fig. 5 is used the spur e may be driven into the plug B, thus locking the cylinder 0 to the plug, and materially strengthening or supporting the cylnst torsional strain ted around in the e c, Fig. 5,

when the stopper is twis bottle.

For some purposes it wil to use a shank which exten in g-plate.

I do not wish to be limited particular material for the p I not be-necessary ds below the clampto the useof any arts B B. C, but

regard wood and rubber the best for ordinary stoppers.

What I claim is- The combination of th plate E, rin set forth. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

e shank D, clampingg (J, and plug B, substantially as STEPHEN S. NEWTON.
