NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE AND STOPPER.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL BIEDERMAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Kittanning, in'the county of Armstrong and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Relillable Bottles and Stoppers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the ac companying drawing.

This invention relates to non-refillable bottles, and has for its object to provide a bottle of such class, in a manner as herein after set forth, with means to prevent of the refilling of a bottle after the contents thereof has been wholly or partly removed.

Furthe'r objects of the invention are to provide a non-reiillable bottle which is simple in its construct-ion and arrangement, strong, durable, efficient in its use, so set up as not to interfere with the discharge of the contents thereof when occasion so requires, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodimentof the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views-Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a non-reiillable bottle in accordance with this invention, the body portion of the bottle being broken away, and the neck of the bottle being in an upright position. Fig. 2 is a view similar t0 Fig. 1, wit-h the neck of the bottle inverted. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the combined deflector and valve cage. Fig. l is a top plan view of the combined deflector and valve cage. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a combined cage support and valve seat, and

Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the combined Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 28, 1911.

Patented Nov. 19,1912.

Serial No. 646,365.

Engaging with and secured to the threads 4: by any suitable material, as at 5, is a combined peripherally threaded support and valve seat having a member of the member 7 a discharge opening 8 is provided having a lower flaring end as at 9. The uppervend of the member 7 is reduced as at 10 and is adapted to receive a flanged disk 11 which fornns the base of a combined valve cage and deflector.

The vdisk 11 is formed with a centrally disposed opening 12 for the reception of a valve 13, which when positioned in the opening 12 rests upon a seat 14 formed centrally of t-he top of a member 7. The opening 12 is of greater diameter than the upper end of the opening S, and as the valve 13 is of a diameter slightly less than the opening 12, it is obvious that when the valve is within the opening the Lipper end of the discharge opening 8 will be closed, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.

The combined valve cage and deflector further includes a vertically disposed cylindrical member 15 which is integral with the upper face of the disk 11 and surrounds the opening 12. The lower end of the member 15 is formed with a series of outlet openings 16, and said member', at a point between the opening 16 and its upper end has laterally extending annular deflector 17.

Formed integral with the upper member 15 is a cup-shaped stopper 18 formed with a series of upwardly and inwardly inclined discharge ports 19. The stopper 1S is peripherally grooved and is secured to the threads 3 by any suit-able material, as at 20.

The deflector 17 prevents the entrance of a tool when an attempt is made to hold the valve from off its seat 14 when one is desirous of refilling the bottle. The inclined openings 19 further aid in deflecting the instrument away from the valve.

The stopper 18, when the bottle is inverted, constitutes a means for arresting the movement of the valve 13, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

The valve 13 is of such diameter that it will readily move from its seat when the bottle is tilted or inverted so that the contents of the bottle can be discharged, the contents passing through the opening or discharge S, openings 16, into the space between the member 15 and the inner face of the neck, around the deflector and through the outlets 19 in the stopper 18.

7. Centrally The stopper 18 is positioned within the neck the required distance, so that a cork can be secured in position at the mouth end of a bottle.

lVhat I claim is:

A non-relillable bottle comprising the combination with a bottle neck, of a support connected to said neck at the inner portion thereof and provided with a centrally 'dis posed opening constituting a discharge passage, a disk seated upon the top of said support and having an opening registering with and of greater diameter than the outlet end of said passage, that portion of said support exposed through the opening in the disk constituting a lvalve seat, a flat disk-shaped valve capable of engaging said seat to close said passage and of the same thickness as the thickness of said disk, a vertically disposed cylindrical member integral at one end with 44face integral with the upper end of said member and provided with a series of outlets, said valve when the bottle is inverted capable of engaging the lower face of said stopper.

In testimonywhereof I aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
