June 11, 2015 By Jay Brooks

patent-logo
Today in 1907, US Patent 856400 A was issued, an invention of King C. Gillette, for his “Bottle-Seal.” And yes, that’s the same King Gillette who invented the safety razor. There’s no Abstract, although in the description it states that his “invention relates to bottle seals, especially to that class of devices used to close bottles, or vessels containing beer, mineral water, and the like where a cheap seal is desired; and the object of this invention is to provide a seal that will be cheap to manufacture and efficient in use.”

It is the object of the present invention to provide a seal so constructed that rubber can be used instead of cork, and at the same time provide means. to prevent the contents of the bottle coming in contact with the rubber; a further object being to provide a device wherein but a very small sealing ring is required and at the same time provide means to hold this ring in place in the cap while being transported from the factory to the consumer, and while applying the stopper to a bottle.
