SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters ratentrro. 699,271, dated Angus@ i c, 189s.

Application filed January 13, 1,897. Renewed January"31,\1898`. Serial No. 668,6"1-3.A (No model.)

To all whom it may con/:erro:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN H. GoEBEL, a

citizen of the United States, residingin the' of -a bottle with means whereby the same can` not be refilled, said means embodying valves which remain closed under ordinary circumstances, so as to prevent the introduction of fluid into the bottle, but which open when the contents are to be removed.

Figures l, 3, and 4 represent vertical sections of portions of a bottle with my invention applied thereto, the same being in different positions. Fig. 2 represents a top View thereof. A

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts in the several figures. f

Referring to the drawings, A designates portions of the body of' a bottle, and B the neck thereof. Within the neck are the'separated diaphragms C and D, which are firmly secured to or formed with the sleeve E, the` latter being closely encircled by said neck and having at one end a flange E', which occupies a recess B in the neck, thus preventing movement or displacement of the sleeve and consequently of the diaphragms C D,

it being noted that the upper diaphragm C is located below the level of said flange, thereby reducing the height thereof and enabling the bottle to be more readily emptied when inverted, owing to the short ports in said reduced diaphragm. The opposite inner faces of said diaphragms are recessed, forming the seats H and J ofthe ball F and valve G, it being noticed that the ball F, as a preferred construction, is larger than the valve G, and the seats are correspondingly proportioned, and the space between the diaphragms forms the valve-chamber.

In the diaphragm C are the ports K, which extend in the present instance longitudinally of the neck of the bottle, and in the diaphragm D is the port K', it being noticed that the ports K form communication between the valve-chamber and the exterior of the bottle,

`andfthe port K forms communication between said chamber and th'e 'interior of the bottle. 1 f 1 3 On the side or breast of the bottle is the nozzle L, which is primarily adapted for the fill- 'ingy of the bottle, said nozzle being afterward closed by the cap M, which forms an integral portion of the same. Y

When it is'desired to remove the contents of the bottle,`the same is overturned,as shown in Fig. 4. In this case the valve G uncovers ,in Fig. 3, the b'all F will drop from its seat and rest on the side of its seat, it being heavier than the Yvalve G, whereby the latter will be held against its seat, closing the port K', preventing fiuid frompassing therethrough. o

When the bottle is `in upright position, the weight of theball `F is superimposed on the valve G, preventing the latter from being raised by a wire introduced through the ports K, andthe shaking ofthe bottle will keep said valve and ball in contact, owing to the tendn ency of the upper ball to roll on the lower one.A

The sleeve and diaphragm will be preferably formed of opaque or dark material, so as to conceal the position and movements of the valves from without, it being noticed that said sleeve and diaphragms, with the valves, are placed in position in the neck of the bottle prior tothe filling of the latter through the open nozzle L, s0 that said sleeve is a fixture and cannot be Withdrawn through the mouth of the bottle or driven into the body thereof, owing to the horizontal groove or recess B and shoulder'B2, on which the lupper and lower ends of the sleeve E are seated .and which lock the sleeve in the neck.

As the valve G is lighter than the ball F, it may float, and so close on its seat when the bottle is overturned, as shown in dotted lines IOO in Fig. 4, should attempts be made to fill the bottle from below; but in any case it will be moved upwardly by the pressure of the introduced Huid and pressed against said Seat.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- I l. A non-refillable-bottle, having a neck lprovided with a recess in its upper portion,

with a shoulder in its lower portion and a recess in its upper portion, in combination with a sleeve in said neck, diaphragms secured to said sleeve forming a valve-chamber, Said diaphragms having ports therein, a flange on the upper portion of the sleeve, a valve controlling the port in the lower diaphragm, a weight normally bearing on said valve, the lower end of said sleeve being seated in said shoulder and a nozzle projecting from the side of said bottle, said nozzle being primarily adapted for the filling thereof and also adapted to be closed by a cap forming an integral portion of jthe same.

CHRISTIAN H. GOEBEL.
