    What I claim is:1. The combination of a bottle cap comprising a top and a depending annular flange, a rod having a knob at one end thereof, means for securing the rod to the cap comprising a resilient compressible plug within the cap, and means for securing the plug to the cap, said plug having a central bore extending upward from the bottom of the piug and terminating at a point spaced below the top surface of the plug, into which bore the knob carrying end of the rod extends, said _ My invention relates to a cap or closure deEeS tF Present day, It Is emtomary to provide bo t t£ 1 T PerS made of rubber or other material which stoppers enter the neck of the bottle and have attached thereto a rod which projects 1ύ taexZmn- iPi ° the cont ents of the bottle? as, lor example, iodine or other liquid. _ Al }. object of rny invention is to provide a practical construction permitting such a rod or mplement to be used in combination with a ;screw threaded cap or closure device which comprises a skirt or flange portion threX1 on ^ otherwise secured to the exterior surface of the neck portion of the container. , her°ein e after b3eCtS ° f lnVenti ° n wU1 a ® ear In the accompanying drawing: 1 iS a sectional elevation of a bottle, partly tached iTtr a ^ d Cap With an im Plement attached m accordance with the present invenblUil. ' Lil a ?^ at . ipn , al view ’ showing a con„ Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the can and a portion of the container shown in Fig 2 Fig 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing a further modification. mowing i a ^f^i?„ g „?5 ticularly .. to Fig - a bottle provided with a cap or closure device 6. rhelcap includes a circular top or cover portion 7 and an . integral depending flange or skirt 8, the interior surface of which is formed with screw threads to engage corresponding threads 9 formed on the exterior surface of the bottle neck. + 4* 1 jmplement 10, such as a glass rod, is attached to the cap 6 by means of a connecting device 11 in the form of a plug or stopper, which may be. made of rubber or other material. Phis stopper is provided with a central bore 12 extending upwardly from the bottom thereof and terminating a short distance below the upper surface 12 of the stopper. The rod 10 extends upwardly within the bore 12 and may be fractionally held in position therein. An enlargement or knob 14 formed on the upper end of the lod assists in holding the rod in position. The upper portion of the stopper 11 comprises an annular flange 15 which fits into a correspondingly shaped annular recess 16 formed in the cap above the threaded portion thereof, tainer with a modified form 1)7 cap portion of the container shown in Fie 2 30 Wo- z „ ..,— . „ a further modification. .

    2 1,049,002 rod having a tight fit in said bore, whereby the rod is securely attached to the plug, the resiliency of the plug being sufficient to permit said knob to move through said bore in assembling ;the parts. 2. The combination of a bottle cap comprising a top and a depending annular flange, a rod having a knob at one end thereof, means for securing the rod to the cap comprising a resilient com10 pressible plug within the cap, and means for securing the plug within the cap comprising an annular flange portion formed integral with the plug at the upper end thereof, the cap being formed with an annular recess in which said 15 flange portion seats and by which the plug is secured to the cap, said plug having a central bore extending upward from the bottom of the plug and terminating at a point spaced below the top surface of the plug, into which bore the knob 20 carrying end of the rod extends, said rod having a tight fit in said bore, whereby the rod is securely attached to the plug, the resiliency of the plug being sufficient to permit said knob to move through said bore in assembling the parts. 25
  3. 3
    The combination of a bottle having an exteriorly screw threaded neck, a cap comprising a top portion and a depending flange portion formed with screw threads to engage the threads on the bottle neck, a rod having a knob at one 30 end thereof, and means for sealing the bottle and securing said rod to the cap comprising a resilient compressible plug secured within the cap, the body portion of said plug being shaped to conform to the interior of the bottle neck substantial35 ly throughout the length of the plug and to be thereby held under compression when the cap is screwed onto the bottle neck, said plug having a central bore extending upwardly from the bottom of the plug and terminating at a point spaced 40 below the top surface of the plug, into which bore the knob carrying end of the rod extends, said rod having a tight fit in said bore and being thereby secured to the plug, the resiliency of the plug being sufficient to permit said knob to move 45 through said bore in assembling the parts.
  4. 4
    The combination of a bottle having an ex teriorly screw threaded neck, a cap comprising a top portion and a depending flange portion formed with screw threads to engage the threads on the bottle neck, a rod having a knob at one end thereof, and means for sealing the bottle 80 and securing said rod to the cap comprising a resilient compressible plug having an integral annular flange portion at the upper end thereof arranged to seat on the upper end surface of the bottle neck, said flange being held under 85 compression when the cap is in position on the bottle, thereby providing a seal between the cap and bottle neck, said cap formed with an annular recess between the top of the cap and the threaded portion of the flange, in which recess 90 the peripheral marginal portion of said plug flange is seated and by which the plug is secured to the cap, said plug having a central bore extending upwardly from the bottom of the plug and terminating at a point spaced below the top 95 surface of the plug, into which bore the knob carrying end of the rod extends, said rod having a tight fit in said bore and being thereby secured to the plug.
  5. 5
    The combination of a bottle having an ex- 100 teriorly screw threaded neck, a cap comprising a top portion and a depending flange portion formed with screw threads to engage the threads on the bottle neck,’means for sealing the bottle comprising a resilient compressible plug having 105 an integral annular flange portion at the upper end thereof arranged to seat on the upper end surface of the bottle neck, said flange being held under compression when the cap is in position on the bottle, thereby providing a seal between 11J the cap and bottle neck, said cap formed with an annular recess between the top of the cap and the threaded portion of the flange, in which recess the peripheral marginal portion of said plug flange is seated and by which the plug is secured 115 to the cap, and a rod having a knob at one end thereof, said knob being embedded within said plug and spaced below the top surface of the plug with the rod extending downward from the plug into the bottle.
