NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 21, 1913.

Application filed December 31, 1912. Serial No. 739,518.

To all whom it may concern Be it known thatl, JOSEPH TnroLo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brook lyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful lmprovement in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a non-refillable bottle and the object of the invention is to prevent re-filling of a bottle by any ordinary means and thereby prevent use of a labeled bottle as a container for other liquid than that with which the bottle was originally filled.

The invention consists of the novel features of Constr-notion hereinafter described, pointed out in the claim and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation, parts being shown in the position occupied after the bottle has been first filled. Fig. 2 is an inverted view showing the position of the parts during discharge of the contents. Figs. 3 and 4l are similar sectional views illustrating' a slight modification.

In the drawings, 1 represents a bott-le, the mouth of which is adapted to be closed by a cork or other form of stopper 2. After the bottle has been filled the following described devices are inserted in the bottle neck, being permanently secured in position in any desired manner. These devices comprise a disk 3 provided with suitable perforations 4 and a depending centrally arranged sleeve 5 provided with a downwardly open and upwardly tapering socket 6. Arranged below the disk 3 is a second disk 7 preferably thicker than the disk 3 and provided with a valve seat 8 and a central passage-way 9. A disk valve 1() of less diameter than the disks 3 and 7 which fit snugly in the bottle, carries a cone 11 which engages the seat 8. The opposite side of the disk 10 carries a tapering stem 12, which works in the socket 6 of the sleeve 5. The disk 10 is adapted to move freely by gravity in the spa-ce between the sleeve 5 and the disk 7, but the distance between the said sleeve and the disk 7 is not sufficient to permit movement of the disk 10 to withdraw the cone 11 out of the plane of said disk 7 or to withdraw the stem 12 from the socket 6. When the bottle is in an upright position the cone 8 will act as a valve closing passage 9. The disk 3 acts as a guard for the disk 10 while the sleeve 5 serves as a guide for the stein 12. When the bottle is inverted for the purpose of discharging its contents as shown in Fig. 2 the disk 10 will rest upon the other end of the sleeve 5, and the liquid will pass through the passage 9 and around the cone 11 and out through the perforationstbut as soon as the bottle is moved back to an upright position the parts will be returned to normal position as shown in Fig. 1. In Figs. 3 and l., I have shown the same devices but have added a third disk 13 substantially similar to the disk 7, provided with a suitable valve seat 13 with which cooperates a valve cone 14. This cone carries a tapering stem 15 and in this form l provide al threaded socket in the inner end of the cone 11, and thread the extreme end portion of the stem 15 so that there will be a slight engagement of the stem 15 and the cone 11. It will of course be understood that said stem 15 projects into the opening 9 of the disk 7. 1While T have described this form as being a modification it will be obvious that it is in reality simply an addition, the parts 13, 111 and 15 being practically duplicates of the parts 7, 11 and 12, with a slightly modified construction.

What I claim is A device of the kind described comprising a perforated disk snugly fitting a bottle neck, an inwardly extending sleeve carried by said disk, a stem freely working in said sleeve, a valve disk carried by said stem having a cone portion, a second disk having a valve seat adapted to be engaged by said cone portion, a third disk also provided with a valve seat, a cone valve engaging said seat, and a tapering stem carried by the last mentioned valve and in permanent engagement with the inner end of the first mentioned valve.
