Be it known that I, PHILIPBHARTMANN, a; citizen of the United States of America,

residing in New York, in the boron h of- Manhattan, county and State of New ork,

have invented certain new and useful Im-- provements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved non-refillable bottle by which the refilling of the bottle with spurious liquid is effectively prevented; while the liquid can be discharged in a steady and uniform man-i ner; and for this purpose the invention consists of a non-refillable bottle which is provided in its neck-portion with an inwardly-projectin shoulder, acylindrical valve-containing'body seated thereon, said valve-containing body being provided witha lower seat. and an upper seat, a cupshaped valve for the lower seat, and. an'

inverted cup-shaped valve for the upper seat-said valves being guided on central stems in the valve-containing body', as will be fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out'in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 improved non-refillable bottle, Fig. 2- is a similar section, showing the bottle in inclined position for pouring out the contents,

the valves beingin open position for persection on line3, 3, 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawing.

Referring to the drawing, it represents a bottle and b the cylindrical neck of the saine.

In the neck of the bottle a is arranged an inward1y projecting shoulder onwhich is seated a cylindrical valve-containing body d,

which corresponds in size with the interior of the neck and which is cement-ed into the same after the bottle hasbeen fillediwith the medicinal or alcoholic liquid forcwhich it is intended. The valve-containing body a? is preferably made of glass, but can. also be made of aluminum, hard rubber or other suitable material. The cylindricalbody d rests by its lower end on the shoulder Z7 and. is provided with two inwardly-proqecting annular seats d 0Z of which the ower seat d serves forsupporting a cupshaped 'valve 1;, while the upper seatd Specification o1 Letters-Patent.

serves'for su portinga secondvalve f of inverted cup-s ape. The' valves e, f are like:

-means of stems e 7,- of which the former is made integral with a concave perforated diaphragm 6 which is connected bymelting, soldering or otherwise with the inner edge of the upper annular seat, while the second or upper stem f is formed integral Patented Nov. 12, 1912.

with a crossbar at the upper end of the,

Svalve-containing body'd and extended into a central cavity 1 of the valve f, as shown clearly in Fig. 1. When the bottle is in upright-position, the valves 6, f rest on their I seats a (Z and-prevent thereby the ingress of any' liquid or the introduction of any instrument or toolby which the valves may be held in open position'for refilling thebottle; while when the contents of the bottle are to be poured and the bottle is tilted,the valves are supported on theirstems e3, f

leaving a sufficlent space around the same for permitting the free exit of the liquid in the bottle through the perforated diaphragm e and around the valves 0' and f.

As soon as the bottle is replaced inupright position, the valves seat themselves instantly in a reliable manner on their seats without being in contact with their respec-;

tive stems.

By means of the non-refillable, attachment, the bottle cannot be refilled as the I valves v cannot be tampered with, the upper inverted cup-shaped valve forming a guard for the lower cup-shaped valve; while by the simplicity of the construction the nonrefillable attachment can be supplied for bottles .at a comparativelylow price, so as to be capable of introduction for various .purposes in the trade.

I claim: 1 v 4 1-. A non-refillable bottle provided with an inwardly-projecting shoulder in its neck,

body inserted. into the neck and seated on edgeof the upper seat, a diametrical bar at the'up'per end of the valve-containing body,

hollow portion seated on the upper seat, a

ing central stems extending respectively from the center of the diaphragm and diametrical bar into the cavities of the valves. In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my-invention, I have signed my name in 15 presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
