Bottle stopper

Abstract

The bottle-stopper has a cap which is adapted to be seated on the upper rim of a bottle and a body portion which extends downwardly from the cap and which is adapted to be received in the neck of the bottle. A cord is attached to the cap and is formed into a loop. The cord is adapted to encircle the neck of the bottle. A disc is slidable on the cord and by sliding the disc the effective length of the loop can be adjusted in order to tighten the loop around the neck

1 . A stopper for a bottle having an upper rim and a neck which extends downwardly therefrom, said stopper comprising: a cap adapted to be seated on the upper rim; a body portion which extends downwardly from said cap and which is adapted to be received in said neck; and attachment means for attaching said cap to said bottle.  
   
   
       2 . The stopper of  claim 1  wherein said attachment means includes a loop which is adapted to encircle said neck; and tightening means for decreasing the effective length of said loop for tightening said loop around said neck.  
   
   
       3 . The stopper of  claim 1  wherein said attachment means includes a cord which is attached to said cap and which is formed into a loop which is adapted to encircle said neck; and tightening means for decreasing the effective length of said loop for tightening said loop around said neck  
   
   
       4 . The stopper of  claim 2  further including a label which is connected to said attachment means.  
   
   
       5 . The stopper of  claim 3  further including a label which is slidably connected to said cord.  
   
   
       6 . The stopper of  claim 3  wherein said tightening means is a label which is slidably connected to said cord and which, when slid toward the bottle, decreases the effective length of said loop.  
   
   
       7 . A stopper for a bottle having an upper circular rim and a cylindrical neck which extends downwardly therefrom, said stopper comprising: a cap having an outwardly extending ear; a body portion which is adapted to sealing engage an inside wall of said neck, said body portion being frusto-conical in shape commencing at said cap and tapering downward; and a cord formed into a loop which is connected to said ear and which removably attaches said cap to said bottle  
   
   
       8 . The stopper of  claim 7  wherein said loop is adapted to encircle said neck, said stopper further including tightening means for decreasing the effective length of said loop for tightening said loop around said neck.  
   
   
       9 . The stopper of  claim 8  wherein said tightening means is a label which is slidably connected to said cord and which, when slid toward the bottle, decreases the effective length of said loop
