NoN-narrateur' nofrrtn.-

To all whom t may Centern:

Be it known that I, JOHN@ STEPHEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at .Alamed'a, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented lcertain new and useful Improvements in Non-*Refillable Bottles, of which the followingis 4a specitication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. l

This invention relates to non-refillable bottles and the principal object 'of the same is to producen device of -this character vide novel means forfacilitating the open-v ing of the bottle in order that z tion generally stated above it will be under? thereof are susceptible of changes in ldetails which consists of a comparatively small number of parts and which is efficient in operation. Y VAnother object of the invention is to prothecontents may be discharged therefrom.

In carrying out the objects ofthe invenstood of course that the essential features and structural arrangementen preferred and practical embodiments of theinvention being shown inthe accompanying drawings, Awherein:- y 'y v Figurel is a fragmentary vertical. sectional view of a bottle showing the iin-' provement applied to thel neckfthere'of. Fig. 2 is' a 'vertical sectional view of the cap used in connection with this invention. Fig. 3 is a plan -view of an auX- iliary stopper which is place-d within the neckof the bottle. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of a modification of 'this invention.

, `Referring to the accompanyingdrawings by numerals it will be seen that the-im'- provcd bottle comprises the neck 5 in which is placed' a stopper 6, which is provided When the stopper is in the position shown,

in Fig. 1 and the bottle is inverted the sides of the disk valve 8 will assume the position indicated by dotted lines, thus liquid to iow out of the'bottle., Positioned upon the outer portion of the neck is a cylindrical filling member 10 and positioned upon the member 10 is a cap 11 which is' spaced from the neck by means of said filling member, said cap being provided with speeiaeaeoaof Letters raient.

" Patented Aeg. 6,1912.-

aI centrally-located aperture 12 inA the topthereof.` The lower end of thecap 11 is providedx with av series of tapering toothed portions tlwhch. engage a groove '14 which extends l'around thefouter surface of the `neck ofltlhebnttle. It will be thus seen that when the portions 13,a-re bent upwardly, as

shown inFig. 1, to engagek the-groove 14 that cap 11 Vwill be firmly held-upon the upperneck of the'bottle andr will be prei vented frombeing removed therefrom.

' Direct-ly above the stopper 6 is an aux-v i iliary stopper l'which is provided with a central aperture 16, said aperture being re duced at its lower end thereby constituting a ledge 17.- A plunger 18 is adapted to work in 4the aperture 16 and is provided intermediate its ends with an enlarged collar 19, which is adapted to engagefthe ledge v17 when the stopper 6 is in an inoperative poi sition. The lowerend' of the. plunger 18 engages the yupper surfaceof the disk 8 to allow the free operation of by means ofsaid plunger 18. c The auxiliary stopper 15` is provided with side grooves 2() which merge at their upper the stopper 6 ends into transversely extending grooves 21 which communicate with the central aperture 16. This construction will permit the liquid to readily 'flow out' through said grooves 20 and 9.1 and outtlirough theaperture 12. f f

In a there is shown a modicat'onf of the invention, which is provided with t e stopper 6" such as the one used. in Fig. 1,

Said SOPPelbeing provided with the lungi-W'4 tudinally extending apertures 7 for allowing liquid'to ypass therethrough. Secured tothe upper end of the stopper' 6.is 'av disk valve 8 by means of a screw v9. A cylindrical filling member 10 surrounds the neck i of the bottle and over this is placed the. cap 11',l which is constructed the same as 1n Fig; 1 with the exception that the centrally A located aperture 12 in the top thereof has its sides beveled. An auxiliary stopper 15 is placed m'the neck of the bottle directly above the stopper `6"andlike theauxiliary stopper 15, shown 'in Fig.' 1, is provided with the side grooves 20 which. terminate in the transverse grooves 421 which are formed in the-top of said auxiliary stopper for allowing liquid to pass` .therethrough and out through the opening 12.

An operating member 22 is tixedly secured to the auxiliary stopper 15 by means v vsaid stopper gage with the of a nut 23 which is't-hreaded upon the lower en d ot said operating member, said nut being countersunk within said auxiliary stopper for allowing the ame to be iush with the inner surface thereot, thusfpievent ing the same from couiingr in Contact with the disk valve 8. The operating ineiuber is provided with an upper conical shape top 24k which has its sides divergiiig from the top of said operating member.

It will be seen that when the bottle is in a closed position the auxiliary stopper.\vill be in engagement with the disk of the inain stopper thereby tirn'ily holding said disk uponthe upper surface of said main stopper. ll'hen it is desired to empty the bottle ot' the ordents, the auxiliary stopper is pushed member and the downward movement ot will be limited by means of the divergring sides of, the conica-l shaped upper end ot the operating' inenyiber which will enbeveled sides of the opening' 12'; As soon as the stopper t3 is pushed to a position as shown in Fig. 4, the auxiliary .stopper is drawn upwardly into engagement with the under sui-tacel ot the casingr 1l l i l l by means of the,operating thereby allowing' 'tree movement of the disk y valve 8 for allowingl the discharge of liquid trom the neck of.-the bottle.

In Fig. 1 the two Stoppers are in engagement with each other when the bottle is closed and in ordei to allow of the 'tree passage of liquid through the openings 7,' 20, 21 and 12 the plunger is forced ilowiiwardly and the downward movement is limited by the collar L9 abutting against the projection 17 in the apertures 1G of the auxiliary stopper, It will thus be seen that the disk valve S will have a tree movement and that the liquid will be allowed to freely pass through said openings.

I'Vhat I claim isl. In a device ot the character described the combination with a bottle provided with a neck, ot" a stopper positioned therein and provided with a plurality ot longitudinally extending apertures, a disk valve secured to said stopper and normally closing;V said apertures, an auxiliary stopper positioned above the tirst n'ieiitioiud stopper and provided with side and -transversely extendinggrooves, means engaging saidauxiliary stopper for forcing said tirst ii'ieiitioiied stopper downwardly, and means carried by said auxiliary stopper for limiting the movement of the last-mentioned means.

v2. In a device of the class described the combination with a bottlel provided with a neck, of a stopper 'positioned therein and provided with a plurality of longfitudinaliv-v extending; apertures, a disk valve means se- 3. I'n a device of the class described the combination with a bottle provided witlia neck, a casing; positioned upon the upper end thereol', ot a primary stopper positioned within the neck ot the bottle and provided with a plurality o't` longitudinally-extendinngrooves. valve. means adapted to normally close the upper end ot said apertures, an auxiliary stopper positi'oiied in the upper end ot said neck and provided with a plurality ot Agrooves or channel portions for allowing the tlow otl liquid therethrough and out through the neck ot the.bottle, and a plunger member carried by said auxiliary stopper and engaging said primary stopper tor moving4 said primary'stopper to an operative position.

4. ln device ot the class described thev i-oiiihiiiation with a bottle provided with a neck.y otlv a easing positioned thereon and provided with :i central a'ierture, a primary stopper provided with channel portions, valve. means adapted to normally close said channel portions for preventing,` the tiow of liquid therethrough an auxiliary stopper provided with a plurality ot channels, saidv provided with a ,central auxiliary stopper aperture in alinement with the aperture in said easing, the lower end ot said aperture in said auxiiiary stopper provided with a ledge. portion, a plunger member working iii said aprrture in said stopper and adapted to normally close the aperture iii Said easing, said plunger member provided with a plunger er collar portion formed intermediate its ends and adapted to prevent the displacement ot said plunger member from said aperture in said a uxiliarj;` stopper, and said plunger adapted' to engage saidprimary stopper for moving the saine to an operative position.

Iii testimony whereof I hereunto allix my signature in presence ot two witnesses.
