NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

SPECEFIOATIN forming part of Letters Patent No. 742,592, dated October 2l?, 1903.

Application filed July 23, 1903. Serial No. 166,694, (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern: of any suitable material; but when itis made Be it known that I, HENRY A. CLINTON, a from glass the outer surface ofthe said casing citizen of the United States, and a resident of of the said auxiliary or supplemental stopper 55 Newark, in the county of Essex and State of may be ground and made to meet the ground 5 New Jersey, have invented a new and useful inner surface of the neck. The said casing Improvement in Non-Rellable Bottles, of is of such formationpthat it will tightly lit in which the following is a full, clear, and exact the neck of the bottle and lconform to the description. shape of the interior of theneck.v 6o

The purpose of the invention is to providev The casingof the auxiliary or supplemental lo a simple and economic form of device adapt# stopper D is open at the top and at the boted to be firmly secured in the neck of any or- Vtom and at the bottom is provided with an indinary bottle, which device is so constructed ner annularrlange 10, formingaseat foraballas to admit of liquid being freely poured out valve 11.

When the cork A represents the body of a bottle of ordior main stopper C is removed from the neck nary type; B, the neck, and-C the cork, which of the bottle and the bottle is inclined to a 9o is made to close the top or mouth portion of greater or a less extent, the upper ball-valve 4o the neck in the customary manner. 14 will drop outward, becoming unseated,

As soon is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The casing, conas the bottle is restored to its upright posiroo sisting of the said sections d and d, after the tion the two valves -11 and 14 immediately 5o sections have been connected is secured in seat themselves.- The arrangement of the the neck of the bottle by cement or other valves is such and the valves bear such relameans. The said casing maybe constructed tion to each other that it is impossible to force liquid into lthe bottle for the purpose of refilling the same, even when the bottle has been heated to form substantially a vacu um therein.

The improved auxiliary valved stopper is exceedingly simple, it is durable and effective, and it is economic and can be readily introduced and secured in the neck of any bottle.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. An auxiliary stopper for the neck of a bottle, comprising a casing adapted to be secured in the neck of a bottle and constructed of detachably-conuected sections, the upper section having an upper valve-seat and the lower section a lower valve-seat, the upper section being provided with a spider below the valve-seat therein, a ball-valve adapted to be normally seated on the lower valveseat, and an upper ball-valve on the upper valve-seat, a stem connected with the/upper ball-valve, adapted to extend down substantially in engagement with the lower ballvalve, passing through the said spider, and a head at the lower or inner end of thel said stem, for the purpose set forth.

2. An auxiliary stopper for the neck of a bottle, comprising a easing adapted to be secured in the neck of a bottle and constructed of detachably-conuected sections, the upper section having an upper valve-seat at about its middle portion and the lower section a valve-seat at its lower end, the upper section being provided with a spider at its lower end, a ball-valve adapted to be normally seated on the lower valve-seat and an upper ballvalve onvthe upper valve-seat, a stem connected with the upper ball-valve, adapted to extend down substantially in engagement with the lower ball-valve, passing through the said spider and a head at the lower or inner end of the said stem, the said lower section of the casing being provided with longitudinal ribs which keep the lowervalve spaced from the major portion of the section of the casing in which the said lower ball-valve has movement, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
