Abstract
Embodiments of the invention as disclosed herein relate to a small, portable and scalable bottle capper. The capper has an essentially domed structure. The upper part of the domed structure is adapted to cooperate with a manually-controlled or manually operated device such as a drill. The lower part of the domed structure is adapted to cooperate with a cap to be applied to a bottle or jar. In operation, the caps to be applied to bottles or jars are arranged on a surface with their upper edges in an upper position. The capper, in accordance with the various embodiments of the invention, is lowered onto a cap. The outer edges of the cap engage with the inner edges of the lower part of the domed structure in a friction fit relationship.

A bottle capper device for capping a bottle or a jar, said capper comprising:
- an essentially cylindrical structure, said structure having:
- an upper portion having an upper domed surface;
- a shaft member, extending vertically from said domed surface;
- a lower portion contiguous with said upper portion, said lower portion having defined within it an interior cavity having an interior diameter, an upper surface and an internal vertical edge;
- a cylindrical vent channel, extending from an outer surface of said upper domed surface into said interior cavity;
- and
- a plurality of vertical splines in spaced apart relationship around said internal vertical edge,
- wherein said interior diameter of said interior cavity corresponds to an external diameter of a cap and said plurality of vertical splines on said internal vertical edge of said lower portion of said capper corresponds to a plurality of vertical splines of an outer edge of said cap.
(canceled)
A kit for capping one or more bottles or jars, said kit comprising:
- two or more capper devices, for torquing two or more differently dimensions caps, each capper device comprising:
- an essentially cylindrical structure, said structure having:
- an upper portion having an upper domed surface;
- a shaft member, extending vertically from said domed surface;
- a lower portion contiguous with said upper portion, said lower portion having defined within it an interior cavity having an interior diameter, an upper surface and an internal vertical edge;
- a cylindrical vent channel, extending from an outer surface of said upper domed surface into said interior cavity;
- and
- a plurality of vertical splines in spaced apart relationship around said internal vertical edge,
- wherein one of said capper devices has a first interior diameter that corresponds to an external diameter of a cap, and at least one other of said capper devices has an interior diameter that is greater or lesser than the first internal diameter.
