Hutchinson Stopper, circa: 1879-1915

Invented by: William H. Hutchinson

To bottle, the stopper was put in the downward position, the contents were injected into the bottle with a nozzle.  This nozzle contained a hook that grabbed the top loop of the stopper and pulled it up to seal the bottle. When the stopper was raised, the pressure of the carbonated contents sealed the rubber gasket against the base of the neck.  The stopper was deemed unsanitary because dust and dirt could settle above the stopper and contaminate the drink.
