Specification of Letters Eatentl Application filed November 8, 1913. Serial No. 799,962.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEODORE E. BUECH- min, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have in vented new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the followine is a specification.

The invention relates to bottles, and more particularly to the class of non-refillable bottles- The primary object of the invention is the provision of an attachment for a bottle neck wherein the fluid or contents of the bottle can freely flow therefrom, but should an attempt be made to refill the bottle the inflow of fluid to thebottle will be interrupted, thus discouraging a person in attempting to refill the bottle, thereby obviating the possibility of the surreptitious filling of the bottle after the contents thereof has been once used.

Another object of the invention is the pro vision of an attachment for bottles which is of novel form to allow the free discharge of the contents of a bottle, yet will interrupt the filling of the bottle with substitute liquid after the original contents has been dispensed therefrom.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an attachment for bottles which.

is simple in construction, reliable and ellicient in its purpose, and inexpensive in manufacture.

.Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described. illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawing :Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of a bottle,

showing the attachment constructed in accordance with the invention mounted in its neck. Fig. 2 is a sectional View on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the attachment removed from the bottle neck.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing. I

Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates a portion of the body of a bottle, B the neck thereof having in the wall of its bore C inner and outer annular grooves or channels 5 and 6 respectively, for the fastening in the said bore C of the attachment hereinafter more fully described. The attachment comprises a cylindrical body orcage 7 preferably constructed from glass, the outer wall of which is formed with channels or grooves 8 near opposite ends thereof which are adapted to aline with the channels or groo es 5 and 6 in the neck. these grooves being designed to receive rings or washers 9 which are seated therein and firmly fasten the body or cage 7 within the neck of the bottle. The body or shell 7 has formed at its inner end a frusto-conical shaped nozzle 10 which projects outwardly into the bore 11 in the body or shell, which bore is formed with an outwardly tapered outer end 12 opening through the center of the said body and forms a passage-way for the liouid to flow through the bod or shell. the liquid being passed through the nozzle 10 from the bottle into the bore in the body or shell, and is discharged through the tapered outer end 12 and mouth of the neck B of the bottle.

Arranged medially within the bore 11 in the body or shell 7 in alinement with the central axis thereof is a solid cone .13 havingintegrally formed therewith outwardly eX- tending radial wings or spider webs 14: which are integrally formed with the wall of the body or shell 7. the inner end of the solid cone 13 being formed with an inwardly tapered socket or recess 15 into which projects for a distance the smaller end of the nozzle 10, the solid cone 13 being designed to serve as a guard for the said nozzle so as to avoid the inserting of a flexible tube into the nozzle for the filling of the bottle after its original contents has been dispensed therefrom.

From the foregoing it is thought that the construction and manner of operation of the invention will be clearly understood, and therefore a more extended explanation has been omitted.

What is claimed is The combination with the neck of a bottle, of an attachment comprising a cylindrical body having a bore formed with an outwardly tapered outer end, a truncated cone projected within the inner end of the bore in the body and integral with the latter, a

conical-shaped guard within the bore above the truncated end of the cone and having a Patented Feb. 23,1915.

conical-shaped recess receiving the truncated In testimon end ot the cone, saldguard being formed tune lnpresen With radial wings Joining the Wall of the y whereof I affix my signace of two Witnesses.

boreQthe said truncated end vof the cone THEODORE BUECHLER' being of considerably less size than the coni- Witnesses:
