NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Ju1y9, 1912.

Application filed May 4, 1912. Serial No. 695,119.

To all whom it may concern: 4

Be it known that I, Monms HORNSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description.

My invention relates to a non-refillable bottle, and an object of my invention is to provide a simple closure for the. bottle, which closure comprises relatively few parts so arranged and constructed that liquid may be readily poured from the bot tlc, but any attempt to refill the bottle, will cause a floating valve to seat itself, thereby sealing the bottle.

I attain the above-outlined object by constructing the neck of the bottle in two parts and by disposing a gasket at the connection between the parts, which gasket supports a float valve having a limited movement off the seat.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which simllar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, and in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view taken through the upper portion of the bottle and the neck thereof, showing the valve in closing position; Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the bottle in tilted position to unseat the valve; and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View through the neck of the bottle, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrow.

Described more in detail, I have shown a bottle A, the neck portion B of which is constructed of two parts, one part C being integral with the body of the bottle, and the other part D containing the valve features hereinafter described.

Resting on a shoulder 4:, adjacent the top of the part 0 of the neck, is a gasket 5 of rubber 'or other suitable material, having a central opening 6 therein. Adapted to rest upon the gasket 5 and in its closing position covering the opening 6, is a spherical floating valve 7 of a diameter equal to the horizontal diameter of the part D of the neck. Formed integral with the inside of the part D, is a ledge 8 having a central opening 9 therein, and fastened to said part D, above the ledge, is the upper plate 10 of a stop member 11, which stop member has I a reduced neck 12 positioned in the openmg 9, the lower end of which stop member 11 has a recessed pocket 13 therein adapted to receive the upper portion of the float 7 when unseated from the gasket 5. This recess 13 is positioned from the gasket 5, a distance slightly greater than the valve 7, so that said float will have but a limited movement off the gasket, as shown in Fig. 2.

Extending between thegasket 5 and the ledge 8, the inner wall of the part D of the neck has positioned therein a series of longitudinally-extending spaced-apart passageways 14, and, similarly, the plate 10 has a series of spaced-apart openings 15 in the pe riphery thereof adjacent the inner wall of the part D of the neck. If desired, the usual form of cork stopper 16 may be inserted in the outer end of the part D of the neck.

By the above-outlined construction, it will be seen that with the bottle in its normal upright position shown in Fig. 1, the float valve 7 closes the opening 6. preventing the introduction of fluid to the bottle A, but tilting the bottle into the position shown in Fig. 2 permits the contents of the bottle to flow through the opening 6 around the float valve 7, through the passageways 14, and through the tortuous passage formed by the openings 9 and 15. This arrangement of the stop member 11 and ledge 8 forms a tortuous passage preventing the introduction of any instrument into the neck of the bottle to raise the valve 7.

The parts-C and D of the neck are fastened together in any suitable manner, and, as shown, a ring'17 is brazed or welded to the outside of the parts G and D at the point where the same are joined.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A non-refillable bottle having a two-part neck port-ion, the body of the lower portion formed into a shoulder, a gasket resting on said shoulder, said gasket having a cen- 'trally-disposed opening therein, a spherical float valve having a diameter equal to the diameter of the neck and adapted to close said opening, a ledge disposed above said valve, and a stop member within said neck, said stop member having a reduced portion in the opening in said ledge to form therewith a tortuous passageway, the bottom of said stop member having a recess therein when 1n unseated position, the inner Wall of two subscribing witnesses. of said neck between said gasket and ledge MORRIS HORNSTEIN having. a series of spaced-apart passage- Ways therein to permit fluid to flow around Witnesses: said valve.

In testimony whereof I have signed my ,PHILIP'D. ROLLHAUS.
