NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 13, 1914.

Application filed February 7, 1913. Serial No. 746,766.

To all whom it may cmwern Be it known that I, PHIL11 E. WARREN, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident' of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New.

York, have invented a new and Improved Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to what are known with a transverse guard disk 15, which may be formed integral with the neck, or other-,

as non-refillable bottles.

The object of my invention is to provide improved closure devices that will permit the liquid contents of the bottle to be de-' canted, if desired, but which will makethe refilling either impossible, or so difficult as to make the refilling unprofitable.

The invention will be particularly explained in the specific description hereinafter to be given.

Reference is to be had to the acompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional elevation of the upper portion of a bottle embodying my invention, the section being taken on the line 11 of Fig. 3; Fig. 2 is a similar section showing the bottle tilted, the section being taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3; Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4: is a cross section on the line 44: of Fig. 1.

In constructing a practical embodiment of my invention in accordance with the illustrated example, the bottle 10 may be of any approved design, and on said bottle I produce an inner neck 11 and employ a separately-formed outer neck 12, the latter being preferably cylindrical, while the inner neck 11 flares outwardly in funnel form. The said inner neck rises from an inwardly-extending contracted portion 11 at the base of the neck, and which joins said neck to the body 10, from which shoulder the neck 11 gradually flares in an outward direction. The neck 11 receives a valve 14, which may be buoyant and tapers toward the inner end, and is adapted to command the neck by seating in the inner contracted portion thereof, as indicated in Fig. 1. I

The outer neck 12 is designed to be secured to the bottle below the shoulder 13, for which purpose there is formed between the shoulder 13 and the body 10 of the bottle,

12 of the outer neck.

a cylindrical neck 10 which preferably is threaded to receive the threaded lower end In practice, before placing the outerneck 12 in position, the opposed surfaces of portions 10*, 12*, are given a coatingof cement, which upon setting, will permanently secure the outer neck in position.

The neck .12 is provided in the interior wise permanently secured therein. Preferably the disk 15 is 'moldedintegrally with the neck, being joined thereto by a series of radial connecting members 16, between which are produced arcuate openings 17 at the perimeter of the disk, and between the same and the interior surface of the neck 12, said openings 17 affording an outlet for the outflow of the liquid contents of the bottle.

Depending from the under side of the disk 15 is an annular flange or skirt 18, which constitutes a ba'flie to prevent tampering with the valve 1 1. The flange 18 is concentric with the neck 11 outside of the upper end thereof, and overlaps said outer end and is spaced therefrom, the arrangement being such that when the bottle is tilted, say to the position shown in Fig. 2, the liquid may flow outwardly through the neck 11 against the under side of the disk 15, and then around the flange 18 to and through the openings 17. The under side of the disk 15 is spaced from the top of the neck 11 only a sufficient distance to permit of the passage of the liquid, and the said disk is a sufiicient distance below the top of the outer neck 12 to receive an ordinary cork 19, or equivalent stopper.

By the described arrangement of the inner and outernecks, with the valve, the guard disk 15, and the annular baffle flange 18, the liquid is free to flow outward, but the refilling of the bottle will be attended by such difiiculties as to make success a tedious operation, if not impossible.

It will be observed that the outwardly flaring inner neck and the outer neck define a chamber flaring downwardly, the reverse of the flare of the inner neck, said chamber extending from the base of the inner neck to the guard disk. The depending flange 18 extending into the flaring chamber will cause a wire or the like inserted through the outlet openings to be deflected past the top of the inner neck, so that a wire in whatever quantity that may be passed into the neck, will be prevented from finding an entrance between the inner neck and the depending flange, the flare of the inner neck and chamber tending to direct the wire outwardly toward the outer neck, and in any event away from the inner neck.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A bottle, having an inner neck formed integral with the bottle and united at its base thereto by a shoulder, said neck having a contracted inner end and flaring outwardly in funnel shape, from its base to its inner end a valve in said neck, an outer separately formed neck united at its inner end to the bottle adjacent to the base of the inner neck and extending outward beyond the inner neck, the inner and outer necks forming an annular chamber flaring toward the bottom reversely to the flare of the inner neck and extending from the base of the inner neck to the guard disk; a transverse guard disk fixedly supported on the outer neck, there being outlet openings around said disk, and a depending annular bafiie flange on the inner side of the disk concentric with the inner neck, inward from the outlet openings the said baffle flange overlapping the upper end of the inner neck and spaced therefrom, the formation presenting an indirect passage from the inner neck around the annular baflie flange to the outlet openings.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

PHILIP EDWARD WARREN.
