Summary
Hiram Codd (10 January 1838 – 18 February 1887) designed and patented bottles used to hold liquid under gas pressure. A marble-type round ball was pushed against a rubber washer in the neck making a perfect seal (on the left). The other bottle (on the right) has a pinched neck so the marble-type stopper will not stop the liquid from coming through the bottom of the neck when being poured.
