SANITARY BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 14, 1914.

Application filed December 23, 1913. Serial No. 808,349.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, PAUL G. FUEGMANN and FRIEDRICH HERMAN HUMMEL, citizens of the United States, residing at WVest New York, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Bottles; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to new and useful improvements in bottles and resides in the provision of a bottle which is provided with a novel form of valved discharge opening that is arranged in the bottom of the bottle wherein the contents of the bottle may be readily drained therefrom and contamination by contact of the fingers is eliminated owing to the disposal of the discharge opening described.

An important object of the invention is to provide a sanitary bottle of the character described which is provided with an enlarged concaved bottom centrally of which is arranged a valved discharge opening that is controlled by means arranged at the top or mouth of the bottle whereby the discharge opening may be opened and will automatically close, said concaved bottom serving to space the discharge opening from a table or other support so that it is free from contamination.

Another important object of our invention is to provide a sanitary bottle of the character described which is capable of being filled either through the discharge opening at the bottom thereof or at the top, said top being closed by a cap, said discharge opening being automatically closed by a valve means which is operable from the closed top of the bottle.

This invention further aims to improve bottles of the character described s0 as to render them more simple, reliable and efficient in operation, cheap to manufacture and more commercially desirable.

The above and additional objects are accomplished by such means as are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, described in the following specification and then more particularly pointed out in the claims which are appended hereto and form a part of this application.

WVith reference to the drawings, wherein we have illustrated the preferred embodiment of our invention as it is reduced to practice, and throughout the several views of which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts, the figure represents a vertical section taken through the bottle of our improved construction showing the valve discharge opening in the lower end thereof in closed position and the clo sure at the neck of the bottle in closed position.

Referring to the drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate corresponding parts, the numeral 1 designates a bottle being preferably formed of glass and which is provided with a concaved bottom wall 2 that in being concaved is spaced from the support on which the bottle is to be placed. Formed integral with the bottom wall centrally thereof is an inwardly extending cylindrical tube 3 provided with an opening 4 upon one side adjacent its lower end and which communicates with the concaved space in the bottom of the bottle. Mounted for sliding movement within the tube 3 is a cylindrical tubular member 5 provided with an opening 6 adjacent its lower end. This tubular member 5 extends upwardly through the bottle and is provided upon its upper extended end with a knob or handle 7. The tubular member 5 is adapted to be inserted centrally through a flanged cap 8 that is internally screw threaded and adapted to be carried uponthe screw threaded reduced neck portion 9 of the bottle 1 so as to form a closure for the bottle.

A helical spring 10 is mounted upon the tubular member 5 and is interposed between the outer face of the cap 8 and knob or handle portion 7 The opening 6 in the tubular member 5 is normally in spaced relation to the opening l, that is out of registration therewith and the lower end of the tubular member 5 is normally fiush with the under side of the bottom wall. It will thus be seen that the tubular member 5 when pushed downwardly against the action of the spring 10 will cause the opening 6 to register with the opening 4: whereby the contents of the bottle may be readily drained through the openings 4: and 6 and lower portion of the tubular member 5, and the tion with each other. The arrangement of the inner face of the bottom wall 2 facilitates the ready cleaning of the device and prevents accumulation of sediment or the like which would readily collect where an gular edges were formed. It will thus be seen that the concaved bottom wall 2 will facilitate the placing of a glass or the like so that when the openings at and 6 are moved into registration with each other, the liquid in the bottle will be readily drained'into the glass and contamination by contact of the fingers with the discharge opening is prevented. The bottle may be filled at either end as will be readily seen with reference to the foregoing description and drawings.

With reference to the foregoing descrip-' tion and accompanying drawings it will be apparent that we have provided a bottle which is sanitary in every respect owing to the arrangement thereof hereinbefore described, and which is capable of performing all functions hereinbefore 'recitedin a reliable and expeditious manner.

In reduction'to practice, we have found that the form of our invention, illustrated in thedrawings and referred to in the above description, as the preferred embodiment, is the most efiici'ent and practical; yet realizing that the conditions concurrent with the 40 adoption of our device will necessarily vary,

we desire to emphasize the'fact that various minor changes in details of construction, proportion and arrangement of arts may be resorted to,

when required, without sac rificing any of the advantages of our invention, as defined in the appended claims.

, What is claimed is:

1. A bottle of the character described having. a concaved bottom whereby the bottom is spaced from a support for the bottle, a

cylindrical tube formed integral with the bottom wall and extending into the bottle and opening through the bottom wall, said tube having an opening adjacent its lower edge, a cylindrical tube having an opening adjacent its lower end slidably mounted within the first tube, a closure cap for said bottle, said second tube adapted to extend upwardly through the closure cap, a knob on the upper end of said second tube, and'a helical spring mounted upon the tube and interposed between the knob and cap and normally holding the opening in the second tube out of registration the first tube. I

,2. A bottle of the character described having a concaved bottom, a cylindrical tube formed integral with the bottom, ex

tending into the bottle and opening through the bottom thereof, said tube having an opening in one SlClG'ZLClJZICGIlt its lower end, a second tube mounted within thefirst tube and having an opening adjacent its end adapted to communicate with the opening in the first tube, a closure ing upwardly through the closure cap and means for normally holding the openings in the tubes out of registration with each' V 80 In testimony whereof we afiiX our signaother.
