Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 10, 1914..

Application filed July 3, 1913. Serial No. 777,288.

To'all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES J. CHARvA'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements in StoppepExtractors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices for re moving the paper caps of milk bottles, and its object is to provide a simple and eflicient device of this kind, by which the cap can be easily removed, and replaced if desired. I

In the accompanying drawing forming a spective view of the device, and Fig. 2 is an edge view thereof. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the blank out of which the device is made.

As shown in the drawing the device comprises a fiat plate 5, slightly elongated, and having at its forward end a sharp prong 6 the operation of the device, the plate 5 is provided with a suitable handle 8. The prong-6 extends outward in a straight line" and it is formed integral with the plate 5. The prong 7 is also formed integral with the plate 5 by slitting the same-to form a pointed "tongue, and bending the tongue downward. from the plate. The last-mentioned prong projects sidewise from the In operation, the plate 5 is grasped by its handle 8 and the prong 6 is stuck into the cap to be removed. The rear end of the plate is then pressed downward with 2'. lat-' seat. It will'be noted that the edge of the plate 5, adjacent to the prong 7, forms a shoulder 9 from which shoulder said prong is downwardly ofi'set. ,Thus, when the prong 7 is stuck into the cap and the plate 5 is given a slight turn or twist, the cap is gripped between said prong and the shoulder 9, and when the. cap is removed from its seat, it will not drop off the device. If the cap is to be replaced, a slight twist backward will remove it from the device. The prongs 6 and 7, being sharp, readily enter the cap, and it is not necessary to bear down heavy on the cap, which is liable to push the cap into the bottle. if wet and soft.

ThB'ClGVlC'B is formed out of a sheet of handle, and the rear end of the plate having a laterally projecting, downwardly pointing prong. I

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
