To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, DANLEL T. RoBnvsoN, of Y. Boston, county of Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Bottle-Stopper Fastening; and I do hereby declare the following to be' afull, clear, and exact description thereof,` reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a vertical'section, of a bottle provided with my invention. Fig. 3 is another side elevation, and Fig.- 4 a top view, of it. Figs. 5, 6, and 7 are details of the invention.

In the drawings, A denotes the, body of a bottle, and a its neck, formed with a shoulder, b, in the usual manner. Thestopper is shown at B as composed of a cylinder,` .of wood or other suitable material, with its lower part of a conical or tapering form, to iit the mouth` or p interior of the neck of the bottle, and having a4 rubber washer, h, applied toits conical part,

as shown in the drawings, which, as the stop-` per is forced into the, neck of the bottle,by its elastic properties secures a perfectly tight joint therewith. A top view of this washer previous to being applied to the stopp'eris shownin Fig. 7 of the drawings. i

The stopper is grooved transversely with two grooves, o d, crossing eachother at right angles, the groove c being for the reception of a cammed lever, C, for forcing the `stopper into its place, and the groove d being to re-4 ceive the wire c, which retains the stopper in connection with the bottle, and which further serves as `a fulcrum for' .the cammed lever. This wire e passes through the groove d, :and itsends are bent down on opposite sides of the neck-of the bottle, and are secured thereto by another wire, f, encircling the neck below itsshoulderb, and passing through eyes formed in the extreme ends of the wire,-the whole being as shown in the drawings. M

We will suppose` the stopper to be in its place within the neck of `the bottle. r Byraispurpose as described PATENT OFF ing the arm or handle of `he amined C the said leverwill allow the stopper to e ,t1 of the mouth of the bott tion shown in Fig.; 3 Whenit is des` r lle placing the thumblnp will first be turned` the bott1e,.and the `leve be forced down upon i per, and the latter,` b place withinythe neck the bottle, the y rubber" a great degreeto: acco The under surface be indented or; rougi of the drawingsyto op its seat, or with a piece, in, theobject of the indent-a vent any slipping lof. thei Instead ofthe camm platedthe employinen piece of metal, having i for the reception of th i t shown in Fig. `6 of The bottle-Stopp described is'averys of closing the mouth ically sealing it. v I claim L r y l. `The improved bo r composed ofthe slotte cammed lever 1C, or i wire e, the whole fb 'ng bined together` in specified. f y
