On this day, Feb. 2nd, in 1892, William Painter, (pictured above) inspired by the increase in carbonated drinks, patented the bottle cap, then known as the "Crown cork" bottle cap in Baltimore, Maryland. And to remove his caps, he invented the bottle opener along with a machine for crowning bottles, a paper folding machine and a machine for detecting counterfeit currency. In all, Painter patented a total of 85 inventions and later in 1892 founded Crown Cork & Seal Company which became Crown Holdings, Inc. and today is a Fortune 500 company.
