NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 21, 1915.
Application filed member 4, 1914. s riai'no. 870,282.
To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, EDWARD J. MORIN, a
citizen of the United States, residing at \Vynot, in the county of Cedar and State of Nebraska, have invented new and useful Improvements in Non -Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specificationl The primary object of the present invention is the provision of a bottle of novel construction, which after having been once filled, cannot be emptied without disfiguring the appearance of the bottle to such an extent as to give evidence of this fact, thus preventing a bottle containing a popular brand of liquid from being refilled with an inferior brand without detection.
To this end the invention consists of a bottle formed with a relatively long neck projecting above the ordinary neck thereof, and in which is located a stopper of novel construction necessitating breaking of said long neck to permit the discharge of theliquid from the bottle.
Another objectof the invention is the provision of a bottle and a stopper therefor of novel construction, wherein the stopper can be subsequently used in connection with the bottle after the long neck has been broken therefrom, and the stopper locked inposition within the ordinary neck.
In the drawing forming a part of this application like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view with I the parts shown partly in elevation. Fig. 2 is a view of the bottle with the long neck removed and the stopper locked in position in the ordinary neck. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the stopper. Fig. 4: is a sectional view taken on line aa of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a' similar view taken on line bb of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing in detail 5"-des ignates the bottle proper having the usual neck 6 which receives an ordinary cork 6r stopper 7. The neck 6 is formed with an interior annular shoulder 8 from which rises the relatively long neck 9 integrally con- .nected with the shoulder 8 and of slightly lesser diameter than the neck 6.
' Arranged within the long neck is a stopper 10' preferably constructed from glass and of a length to bear against the stopper 7 to project a slight distance beyond the upper edge of the neck 9. The lower end of the glass stopper 10 is tapered as shown to car-respond to the taper of the neck 6, so as to prevent both the glass stopper and cork 7 from being pushed through the neck into fee which the locking element. let is adapted to be interchangeably seated in thermanner and for the purpose to be hereinafter described.
The locking element is constructed from a' single length of resilient wire, and comprises an, open ringdikepor-tion 15 terminating in upwardly divergent fingers 16. After the bottlehas been filled, the locking element is seated upon the shoulder 13 defined by the uppermost reduced portion 11, so that when the stopper 10 is inserted in the long neck 9 the fingers 16 will snap into engagement with the shoulder 17 formed by the annular groove 18 therein. The neck 9 at its lower end is formed with spaced annular beads 19, the portion of the neck between said beads being relatively thin as at 20 to permit the neck 9 to be readily broken off at this. point when itis desired to empty the bottle. 1 While the portion 20 of the neck is comparatively weak for the purpose hereinabove stated, it is to be understood that this portion is suifi iently strong for general commercial use.
After the neck 9 has been removed, the cork or stopper 7 is then removed to permit the discharge of liquid from the bottle.
Manifestly with the long neck 9 broken off,
refilled with inferior goods and sold as the original bran The bottle however maybe used for other purposes subsequent to the removal of the long neck, and the stopper 10 used in connection therewith. In this connection, the stopper 10 is pushed 5111; of
the long neck 9 after the latter has' jbeen broken from the bottle, and the locking element lt seated upon the lowermost shoulder 13 defined by the reduced portion 12. The
stopper may then be inserted fthe shortneck 6, the spring fingers 16 being first arranged to ride in the vertical slots 22 formed the shoulder 8 at diametricallyopposite f'p dints. As the stopper is inserted in the neck 6 the finger 16 of the locking element 14 passes from the slots 22 into' the annular groove 23 formed in the neck immediately below the shoulder 8. The stopper is then ,given a slight twist for locking the same in' position. To remove the stopper, the same is turned to bring the spring finger into register with the slots 22, at which time it may be easily withdrawn from the neck.
Rising from the shoulder 18 and arranged between the ends of the open ring-like portion 15 of the locking element is a lug 24 for rotating the element 1i with-the stopper.
It is believed that from the foregoing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation and therefore the same has been omitted.
What I claim is 1. A bottle comprising a short neck, a relatively long neck rising from within said short neck and having a weakened portion at its point of connection therewith to permit the long neck to be broken oil at this point, a stopper adapted for interchangeable engagement within said necks, and a locking element carried by the {stopper for lockin the latter in position within either of sai necks.
2.,A bottle comprising a short neck, a relatively long neck rising from within said short neck and having a weakened portion at its point of juncture tlferewith to permit said long neck to be broken off at this point, a stopper adapted for interchangeable engagement within said necks, a locking element on said stopper .for engagement with said long neck, and said element being adjustable 'on said stopper to accommodate said short neck when the stopper is used in connection therewith.
3. nibottle comprising a short neck, a relatively long neckrising from wlthln said short neckand having a weakened portion at'its point of connection therewith to permit said neck to be broken oil at this point,
a stopper adapted for interchangeable engagement within said necks, each of the necks being formed with an annular groove, an open ring-like locking element surrounding said stopper and having divergently dis- 56' posed fingers foruengagement within said grooves, and said element being adjustable on said stopper to accommodate the short neck subsequent to the breaking ofi of the long neck from the bottle.
at. A bottle comprising a short neck, a relatively long neck rising from within said short neck and havinga weakened portion at its point of connection therewith to per per for rotating the element therewith.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
