who invented screw on bottle tops?

Answer 1

Alfred Louis Bernardin, Sr., who founded the Bernardin Bottle Cap Company in Evansville, Indiana (1881), started the first manufacture of metal closures in not only the U.S., but in the world.

Since Mr. Bernardin, a wine importer experienced trouble with corks blowing out in ocean shipments, he devised a metal clamp to fit over the cork and down around the neck of the bottle with a metal strap that tightened the clamp and prevented the cork from blowing out. Later, Mr. Bernardin invented many other types of metal closures for glass containers that are still popular and in current usage. He invented the beer cap, or crown cap, for beer and soft drink bottles.

He later manufactured METAL SCREW CAPS and still later experimented with applying colored lacquers and enamels to these caps before they were fabricated from sheet form. Others of his inventions were the first double shell cap, first cap to be used on catsup bottles, and many types of machines for the manufacturing and applying of these closures.
