NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 15, 1906.
, Application filed January 17, 1906- Serial No. 296,.i86.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GRAFTON C. ALLEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Port Townsend, in the county of Jefferson and State of Washington, have invented a new and Improved Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to non-refillable bottles.
The object of the invention is to produce a bottle which cannot be fraudulently refilled.
The inventionconsists in the construction and combination of parts to be more fully I 5 described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.
. Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference 2 indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 represents a vertical section through the neck of a bottle constructed. ac-
' cording to my invention, the lower portion of the bottle being shown in elevation and 2 5 broken away. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through a plug which I place in the bottle-neck. This view is taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 3 3 of Fig.1.
Referring more particularly to the parts, 1
3 represents the bottle, which may be of any suitable form, provided with the usual neck 2. In this neck I place a plug 3, which is secured in position by glass-cement or similar means. In this way the plug is made to become sub- 3 5 stantially integral with the bottle-neck and cannot be removed without breaking the bottle. The lower portion of this plug is formed. with a chamber 4, which extends upwardly within the same, and in this chamber there is mounted a liquid-valve 5, which consists of a collapsed tube, preferably of resilient fabric. The walls of the upper portion of this tube cling together tightly under normal conditions, as indicated in Fig. 3. In this connection reference is had especially to Fig. 2, where it will be seen that the lower portions of the sides of the tube converge upwardly.
At its upper portion the chamber 4 is in communication, through an opening 6, with a duct 7, which duct is preferably inclined, as shown, leading upwardly to a point near the upper extremity of the plug, at which point it forms itself into a vertically disposed mouth 8.
5 5 In the outer wall of the plug there is formed a vertical groove or channel 9, which extends from the bottom of the plug to a point near the upper extremity thereof, at which point the groove communicates with a port or passage lO, which turns inwardly and opens upon the side wall of the mouth 8, as indicated most clearly in Figs. 1 and 2. In the lower extremity of this groove 9 an air-tube 11 is secured, and this tube extends downwardly into the interior of the bottle to a point below the neck thereof, as shown in Fig. 1. The lower extremity of this tube is expanded to form a head 12, which is of inverted-cup shape, as shown. To this headv attaches a cap 13, which cooperates with the head to constitute a ribbed seat for a ballvalve which seats perfectly. This cap 13 is formed with an opening 15, over which the ball 14 normally seats, as shown, and from which it falls readily when the bottle is inverted.
It should be understood that the lower edge of the head or cup 12 also constitutes a seat for the ball-valve, if the bottle should be inverted. It should also be understood that the plug 3 will not be secured in the neck of the bottle until after the same has been filled. The mouth 8 of the bottle is closed by a removable stopper or cork16. When the contents of the bottle is to be used, the stopper 16 is removed and the bottle is decanted like an ordinary bottle. The liquid then flows through the liquid-valve 5, separating the upper walls thereof, which tend to cling together. The liquid then finds its way from the upper part of the chamber 4:, through the opening 6, into the duct 7, whence it passes from the mouth 8 through the bottle. I11 order to preventv any checking of the flow of the liquid, as described, the air-tube 11 and air-groove 9 are provided, as described above.
In this connection it should be understood thata supply of air passes inwardly through the tube into the interior of the bottle, which permits the liquid within the bottle to flow out. I 00 If it is attempted to refill the bottle by pouring li uid into the duct 7, it is evident that the c lamber 4 may be filled with the liquid, but that none of this liquid can pass the liquid-valve 5. ble to fill the bottle by passing the liquid through the channel 9, as the valve 14 would prevent the liquid passing from the tube. Attention is called to the fact that the stopper 16 when in position closes the air-pasno It will also be impossisage 10, as well as the duct 7, and prevents collection of liquid in the neck above the valve, if the bottle is inverted in shipping.
In the manner described a very simple bottle is formed, from which the contents may be poured at will, but which cannot be refilled fraudulently. By reason of the inclined or offset position of the duct 7 it is impossible for an instrument to be applied to the upper portion of the liquid-valve 5 in order to open the same to allow a liquid to pass inwardly.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A bottle having a neck, a plug mounted in said neck and having a chamber in the lower portion thereof, and a collapsible tube mounted in said chamber, said plug having a laterally-disposed duct in the upper portion thereof and having an opening communicating with said chamber at the side, said duct having a mouth-opening at the extremity of said plug.
2. A bottle having a neck, a plug mounted in said neck and having a chamber in the lower portion thereof, a collapsible tube mounted in said chamber, said plug having a laterally-disposed duct in the upper portion thereof and having an opening communicating with said chamber at the side, said duct having a mouth-opening at the extremity of said plug, and means for admitting air to the interior of the bottle.
3. A bottle having a neck, a plug mounted in said neck and having a chamber formed in the lower portion thereof communicating with the interior of the bottle, a collapsible tube having its lower edge attached to said plug and having its walls above substantially touching each other to constitute a valve, said plug further having a duct laterally disposed and communicating with said chamber through the side thereof and having a mouth-opening at the end of said plug,
an air-tube in communication With said mouth and projecting into the interior of the bottle, and a valve carried by the inner extremity of said tube.
In testimony whereof I havesigned my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
