Application filed February 14, 1906. Serial No. 300,954.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL O. KINDIG, a citizen of the United States, residin at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, vented a new and useful Closure for Bottles, Jars, &c., of which the following is a specification;

This invention relates to improvements in closures for bottles, jars, &c.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and efficient closure which may readily be secured upon the bottle, jar, &c., to seal the same, aiid whichcan be easily removed when it is desired to unseal the vessel to which it is secured.

The invention consists of the new and novel construction and arrangement of the parts jections 5 equi istant are as hereinafter more fully set forth in the following specification, and pointed out in the claims. I

In the accompanying drawings, Fi e 1 is a to plan view of the ottle-neck. ig. 2 is a si e elevation of a bottle, showing my invention a plied thereto. Fig. 3 is a plan view of t e sealing-disk before having the projections bent downward] Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the sealing-disk, showing the projections bent downwardly.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this; specification and in which similar reference-numerals designate like parts throughout the several views, 1 designates the bottle-neck, which is provided with three lugs 2 at its upper end arranged eguidistant around the periphery of the neck 0 the bottle. These lugs 2 have their outer surfaces inclined outwardly from the upper ens, forming a locking shoulder 3 at the lower on The metal ca 4 is stamped with three rod the perip ery thereof. These pro'ections 5 are bent down at right angles to t e cap and are provided with apertures 6, through which the In s 2 of the bottle-neck roject when the cap is asked on the bottle. he lower end of each of the projections 5 is bent outwardly, so that the nger or tool may be inserted back of the said PIOJBCtlOIl when it is desired to remove the cap. Between the upper edge of the bottle .1 and the ca 4 is a sealing-disk 7, of cork or other suitab 0 material.

The cap is secured to the bottle by placing the same in position with the projections 5 ave in- 7 over the lugs 2 and forcing the cap down which causes the projections 5 to'he forcev outwardly until the ass the lower edge of the projections 2, w en the said projections wills ring over the lu s 2 and take under the shou ders 3 and lock t e cap securely in position.

' The cap is removed by forcing the lower end of one of the Iprojections 5 outwardly until it passes the ug 2, when the cap can he lifted from the vessel to which it is secured.

While I have shown three lugs 2 on the bottle and'three projections on the cap 4, it is obvious any number may be employed on tions extending downwardly at right angles thereto and each having an a erture therein and adapted to take over the u s on the hottle-neck and look the ca on t e bottle the lower end of each of sai projections being bent outwardly.

2. The combination with a bottle having a plurality of lugs arranged around the periphery of its neck, and havin their outer faces inclined outwardl from t e to of the bottle-neck forming ooking-shoul ers at their lower ends; of a cap having a plurality of projections extending downwar ly at right angles thereto and each having an a erture therein and adapted to take over the ugs on the bottle-neck and lbck the cap on the bottie, the lower end of each of said pro'ections being bent outwardl and a sealing; isk between the bottle an cap. V

3. The combination with a bottle havin a pieralityof ln s arranged around the perip V ing bent outwardly and a sealing-disk between the bottle and cap.

4. The combination with a bottle having/a plurality of lugs arranged equidistant around the outer edge of the neck, the outer surfaces of said lugs being inclined outwardly from the up er edge of the neck, forming a lockingshouldgr at their lower ends, of a cap having a plurality of projections extending downwardly at right angles thereto and each having an aperture therein and adapted to take over the said hi. gs on tl 1e bottle-neck and lock the cap to the bottle, the lower end of each to of said projections being bent outwardly from the body of the bottle.
