Specification of Letters Patent.

T 0 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL Fen-no, citizen of the United States, residing at East Palestine, in the county of Columbiana and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nionrefillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.
The. invention has reference to bottles and more particularly to bottles of the nonre fillable type wherein means is employed for preventing the refilling of a bottle after it has once been emptied.
One of the principal objects of the invention is to provide means adapted to be associated with the neck of a bottle ofbottle when the latter is in its upright position.
l/Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention may be said to reside generally in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully pointed out and described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1, is a vertical longitudinal section of a bottle neck with the invention applied thereto; Figure 2, a cross-sectional view of the neck as taken on line 2 2 of Figure 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow, and Figure 8, is a cross section on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
In the drawings the numeral 1 indicates a bottle of the usual and ordinary construction, and 2 a stopper inserted in the neck thereof. The valve means which effectively seal the bottle and prevent refilling thereof is composed of three principal parts, shaped to conform to the contour of the bottle-neck in which the device is inserted. Part 3 is a lower valve part which fits snugly in the neck of a bottle and is circular in form as illustrated in the drawings. This circular part is provided with a square hole in the center to receive valve 4. Upper valve part 5 is likewise circular in form and of greater thickness than the lower part upon which it rests. Upper part 5 is grooved along the bottom to provide a rectangular recess for pocket 6 which extends over the center opening of the lower part. This pocket also permits play of valve member 4 for purposes of opening and closing the bottleas will be hereinafter more fully explained. Part 5 is also provided with a pair of passages 7 extending diagonally inward from opposite edges and meeting at or near the center of the valve part, as shown to advantage in Figure 1 of the drawings. As thus connected these diagonal passages form a V-shaped outlet through the-upper valve part whereby the fluid contents of the bottle may be discharged therefrom when in inverted posi' tion with the valve opened. Moreover, valve member L is provided with a diagonal passageway 8 so disposed that when the valve is opened, the outer terminal of valve passage 8 aligns with the inner terminal of thepassage 7, thereby providing a continuous, zigzag, outlet through the neck of the bottle. By having the outlet passage formed of diagonally disposed sections it is obvious that tampering -with the movable valve, through-the insertion of wires, et cetera through the passageway, is rendered more dii'licult and without avail.
Valve member 4 is. preferably square to conform to the shape of the central opening of valve part 3 and is slidable so as to move back and forth between the upper and lower valve parts as they bottle is alternately inverted and set upright. The valve is normally retained in closed position, as indicated at Figure 1 of the drawings, by means of a tongue or projector 10 formed integral with the valve and projecting over the top surface of valve part 3 as shown. This tongue also covers the upper terminal of an air vent opening 11 extending, slightly inclined to the vertical, through valve member 3. This vent is uncovered when the valve is shifted to open position as indicated by the dotted lines structure of Figure 1 and establishes communication between the interior of the bottle and air vent 12 of valve part 5, the vent of the latter extending transversely therethrough and communicating with space 6 as shown. Consequently, when the bottle is inverted a direct air passage is established which enables a free flow of the liquid contents of the bottle and facilitates the discharge thereof. A
square opening, the upper terminal of the valve passage being closed by the surround,- ing wall of the opening.
Assuming this bottle to be in upright position with the parts arranged as illustrated in the drawings, it is obvious that when the bottle is inverted, valve 4: will fall against the bottom of recess 6 of part 5, thereby uncovering both terminals oi air passage 8 thereby allowing the liquid to flow freely through the diagonal passage caused by the connected openings 7 and 8. At the same time the air passage is uncovered to admit air into the bottle for facilitating the dis charge of the liquid as previously explained. The three valve parts may be made of glass or other suitable material and can be moulded into the shape required.
The foregoing description and accompanying drawings have reference to what might be considered to be the approved or preferred form of my invention. I desire it to be understood, however, that I make such changes in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, materials, dimensions, et cetera, as may prove expedient and fall within the scope of the appended claims. 1
Havin thus described my invention, what i I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a non-refillable bottle, a lower valve part having a valve-receiving opening and a tongue projecting over the opening at the bottom thereof, a slidable valve normally reposing in said opening and having an outlet passage normally closed at its upper end by the Wall of the opening and at its lower end by the said tongue, and an upper valve part having a recess into which the said valve may slide to uncover the outlet passage when the bottle is inverted, said upper valve part also having an outlet passage communicating with said recess where by the contents oi the bottle may be discharged theretl'irough.
.2. In a non-refillable bottle, pair 01 upper and lower valve members confined in the neck of the bottle with a space intervening said members, said upper member having an'air vent and an'outlet opening in communication with the said space, said lower member having an openin and an air vent likewise in communication with said space, and a movable valve in the opening of the lower member and having a passageway adapted to be covered by the lower member whenever the valve is seated in the opening thereof, said valve being slidable into the space between the members for uncovering the outlet passage, and permitting discharge of the bottled contents. v
3. In a non-refillable bottle, a pair of upper and lower valve members confined in the neck of the bottle with a soace interveningsaid members, said upper member having an air vent and an outlet opening in communication with the said space, said lower member having an opening and an air vent like wise in communication with said space, and a movable valve in the'opening of the lower member and provide'd with a'passagewayadapted to be kept covered by the lower member as long as the valve is seated in the opening thereof, said valve being slidable into the space between the members for uncovering the said passageway to permit the discharge of the bottled contents, and means for closin the air ventot the lower member, said means being movable with the valve for opening the vent as the valve is opened.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
