CHARLES B. HIBBARD, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 756,636, dated April 5, 1904.
Application filed June 25, 1903. Serial No- 163,102. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES B. HIBBARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in non-refillable bottles; and the invention consists in a peculiar-shaped stopper used in connection withthe neck of a bottle, said stopper carrying the valve and valve-seat, and suitable means whereby the liquid in the bottle can flow upwardly, but cannot be replaced.
The invention further consists in the arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The objects of my invention are, first, to furnish a cheap and effective closure for a bottle which will allow the liquid in the bottle to be poured out, but which will prevent the refilling of the bottle; second, in the arrangement of a bottle-stopper which can readily and quickly be applied to the neck of a bottle and which cannot be removed therefrom without breaking the neck'of the bottle; third, other objects hereinafter described. These objects I accomplish by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a vertical sectional view of a bottle-neck containing my improved stopper secured therein, the various parts of the stopper being shown by dotted lines in said Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows an inside elevation of one of the semicylindrical parts of the stopper detached, the same being provided with suitable means for engagement with the other cylindrical half, Fig. 2 showing the depressions. Fig. 3 shows the cylindrical half of the stopper adapted to engage with the part shown in Fig. 2, in Fig. 3 there being shown the projections which engage with the depressions in Fig. 2. Fig. 4: shows a sectional view of the cylindrical stopper on line as y of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 showsa side elevation of what I call the protector or follower, the same being shown detached. Fig. 6 shows a like view of the protector turned one-quarter around. Fig. 7 shows a detached view of the valve. Fig. 8 shows a detached view of the valve-seat, said valveseat being adapted to fit into the grooves P of the cylindrical portions and to be carried thereby. Fig? 9 shows a bottom plan view of the protector or follower. Fig. 10 shows a ball which is used, preferably, in connection with the follower and valve. Fig. 11 shows a plan View of the valve. Fig. 12 shows a plan view of the Valve-seat.
Similar letters refer to similar parts through the several views.
A represents the neck of the bottle, constructed in a suitable manner for receiving the bottle-stopper and for retaining the same securely in position, as hereinafter described.
B represents the cylindrical stopper, which is composed of two semicylinders adapted to be placed together so as to form a cylinder and be secured in the neck of the bottle and also so as to support the valve and valve connections in such a manner as to allow the liquid in the bottle to be poured out, but absolutely to prevent the refilling of the bottle.
' When the two parts of the cylinder are placed together, retaining the valve in position, as hereinafter described, it is pressed into the bottle and a packingG is used, which engages with the cylinder and with the bottle in such a manner that the cylindrical stopper cannot be removed without breaking the bottle.
. This packing C may be of any suitable material; but I prefer to use rubber or like elastic material, so as to make an air-tight connection between the cylinder and the bottle-neck. These two cylindrical portions are made, preferably, of glass and are provided with suitable means for engaging with each other, as hereinafter described.
D represents the conical portion of what I term the protector or follower, the main protector being shown by W.
E is a ball which engages both with the follower and with the valve 3 said ball resting loosely within the follower above the valve and serves to assist in closing the valve and also as a guide to the follower. This ball, however,
may be dispensed with in certain cases; but I prefer to use it in the manner shown.
F is a shoulder or flange on the valve-seat Z.
.G G are wings upon the valve 1 the valve 3 being preferably constructed of thin sheet metal, such as aluminium .or other metal which is not liable to corrode and which will be light, and therefore easily removed.
H represents the air-passages, which passages are composed of crooked grooves along the outer side of the surface of the protector W. The protector W is also provided with wings I I, extending one from either side, as shown in Fig. 5. These wings serve as a protection against the reopening of the bottle for the purpose of refilling, as they extend into the chambers of the stopper and as they will prevent a wire or other device from being in serted, so as to interfere with the valve. The follower W is hollowed out at its interior, as shown most clearly in Fig. 9, and two lateral passages or openings X communicate with such hollowed-out portion of the follower, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. By means of the hollowedoutinterior of the follower W and the lateral passages X the liquid contained in the bottle is permitted readily to pass the follower W in its exit from the bottle.
' The semicylinders B are provided with cutaway portions, (shown by J,) leaving a space for the upper end of the protector W and also furnishing an opening for the upper end of the air-passages H of the said protector.
K and L are depressions or grooves in one of the semicylindrical portions, and Q and R are ribs or projections which engage with the depressions K and L when the two parts are put together.
N and N are openings or depressions (shown in Fig. 2) of the semicylindrical part, and S and T are projections which engage with the depressions N and N when said parts are put together.
Each of the cylindrical portions is provided with a chamber or cut-away portion, as shown by 0. These depressions are deep enough to allow the fluid in the bottle to pass readily upward when the valve is raised, as hereinafter described. Each semicylindrical portion is provided with a groove P, so that when the two cylindrical portions are placed together there is formed a continuous annular groove for the reception of the flange of the valveseat.
The cylindrical stopper is provided with the groove U, which extends entirely around the same and which is adapted to receive the packing C, as hereinbefore described.
V (shown in Fig. 4:) illustrates the form of the bottom of the depressions O. v
W is the valve-protector hereinabove referred to, and 3 is the valve, constructed, preferably, of aluminium and adapted to fit the valve-seat Z, as hereinafter described. The valve is provided with two projections or buckets, which serve the purpose of guiding the valve to its seat and also are adapted to re ceive a small quantity of liquid in order to retain the valve in position in its seat.
The operation of my invention is as follows: When the bottle is inverted or partially inverted, the liquid will press upwardly against the valve y, will lift the same from its seat, pass around the said valve into the chamber 0, from thence into the chamber J, and out through the opening M. In the meantime the air will press in and through the opening M into the air-vents H down below the follower and pass around the valve, thereby replacing in the bottle the space left by the liquid which has been poured from the bottle. As soon as the bottle is emptied or as soon as it is raised or turned back intonormal position the valve will reach its seat and make an air-tight closure between the said protector and the inside of the bottle. If the bottle is empty and any attempt is made to fill the bottle, the pressure of air will immediately drive the valve 3/ to its seat and render it impossible to refill the bottle with liquid.
I prefer to make all the parts of the stopper, including the protector, ball, and valveseat, of glass, although other material may be used. The valve itself I prefer to make of aluminium and the packing of rubber or similar material.
Having thus described my invention, what I. claim to have invented, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a non-refillable bottle, the combination of a valve-seat, a valve adapted to fit said seat, said valve having a plurality of wings, and a follower above said valve, said follower having a plurality of wings adapted to cover and protect the wings of said valve.
2. In combination with the neck of a bottle,
a valve-seat, a valve adapted to fit said seat,
a valve-seat, a valve adapted to fit said seat,-
said valve having wings, a follower above said valve, said follower having wings adapted to cover and protect the wings of said valve, and a ball located between said valve and said follower.
4. In combination with the neck of a bottle,
said shell, a valve composed of a thin plate provided with wings, one on either side, a follower placed above the valve, suitable fluidpassages, and crooked air-passages, substantially as described.
6. In combination with the neck of a bottle, a stopper composed of two semicylindrical parts, a groove at the lower end thereof for the reception of the valve-seat, a valve-seat secured in said groove, avalve provided with extending wings or buckets, said valve engaging with the valve-seat, a follower placed above the valve, fluid-passages between the follower and the outer shell of the stopper, crooked air-passages on the outer surface of the said follower and extending and protecting wings on the said follower.
7. In combination with the neck of a bottle, a stopper having chambers therein, a valveseat in said stopper, avalve adapted to fitsaid seat, said valve having wings, and a follower
