BOTTLE- Application filed January 9, 1922. Seria1 No. 528,048.

To all whom it may concern. 1

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM HENRY PAR- SONS, a citizen of Manchester, England, residing at Cristobal, Canal Zone, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specitication.

My present invention has reference to a non-refillable bottle.

My object is to produce a bottle of this character in which the contents can be readily poured therefrom and in which an ,attempt at refilling the bottle will be prevented by the seating of a valve in the neck of a bottle. l

A further object is to produce a non-refillable bottle having its neck portion provided with a chamber that terms a seat for a spherical valve and which has interior threads above the valve seat that are normally engaged by threads on a plug me1n her, the said plug having grooves between the threads thereof to provide passages which communicate with the valve seat, the

head of the plug being of a size approximately equalling the inner cross sectional diameter of the neck is notched, the said notches being arranged out of: alignment with the grooves in the plug. These notches in addition to providing outlet passages for the fluid serve as a means whereby the plug may be engaged by a particular and peculiarly shaped wrench so that the plug can be removed should it be desired to again reill the bottle,-or the plug may be properly positioned after the bottle is filled, the said plug being normally covered by the ordinary cork for the bottle.

The drawing. which accompanies and which forms part oi this specification, illustrates a satis'hictory embodiment of the improvement reduced to practice, and wherein Figure l. is an approximately central vertical longitudinal sectional view through a non-refillable bottle in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 ot Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a 3-3 of Figure 1. p c

Figure 4t is asectional view on the line l-l of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a side elevation of the plug.

sectional view on the line Figure 6 is a similar view or the wrench which is employed in seating the plug.

The body 1 of the bottle is of the ordinary construction,;.,as is the neck 2, for the major portion of its length. "The neck, however, at its juncture with the body 1 is bulged outwardly providing therein a globular chamber 3 whose lower walls are rounded,as at l to their juncture with the body proper. The

chamber 3 provides a cage for a ball valve 5. The valve is preferably in the nature of a glass sphere, but may be constructed of other weighted and non-corrosive material. The spherical valve 5 when received on the rounded wall 4: ellectively closes the passage between the bottle and the neckthereol, and the rounded inner walls or the cage 3 will direct the said sphere to its seat.

Above the portion 3, the neck is thickened to provide thesame with interior threads 6, and these threads are engaged by exterior threads 7 on a plug 8. The threads 7, at predetermined intervals are mutilated by being grooved longitudinally of the plug, as at 9,

. and the portions 9 serve as passages for the outflowing liquid. The plug has its outer end provided with a head 10, and the said head is of a cross sectional diameter only slightly less than the area of the portion of the neck in which it is seated. The head 10 has peripheral notches 11, the said notches being arranged out of alignment with the grooves 9. The neck is normally closed by an ordinary cork or stopper 12.

In arranging the stopper in the neck, I employ a wrench. which is indicated by the numeral 13. This wrench has its shank 14. of a length suflicient to permit of its head 15 being received in the neck of: the bottle to engage with the head oi the plug and its handle portion 1'7 being arranged ekteriorly oi" the bottle to permit of the free operation of the wrench. The head 15 is provided with depending prongs l8, corresponding in number with the notches ll in the head il of the plug. It will be apparent that by turning the wrench, the plug will be like wise turned and screwedhoine in the threaded portion of the neck of the bottle. When it is desired that the bottle be refilled by the owner thereof the plug is screwed in the neck of the bottle without the applica-' tion or" an adhesive to the threaded portion thereof, but when it is desirable that the plug remain permanently fixed in the bottle neck, the threaded portion thereof is treated with a cement or similar adhesive agent.

The inner end of the plug is disposed only a slight distance above the sphericalvalve 5, and limits the movement of the valve in its cage 3. The valve, when the bottle is tilted will travel on the rounded wall of its cage to unseated position, permitting the liquid to flow out of the bottleneck, but when the 1 will fully set forth the simplicity and advantages of the improvement.

Having described the invention, I claim A bottle having its neck formed with a.

spherical compartment at its juncture with the body of the bottle and the walls between the said'compartment and the body being rounded, a spherical valve in the compart- 'ment normally seated on the rounded lower wall thereof, said neck having interior threads above the compartment, a plug having exterior threads screwed in the neck, said plug having its threaded portion grooved and its outer end headed, and the said head having peripheral notches disposed out of alignment with the grooves in theplug, all as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

WILLIAM HENRY PARSONS.
