MOnrvmea designed primarilyeforl use as milk bottles,

one of its objects ing to provide a device of this character that can be roduced at low cost and can be sold at suc Ya ligure as to eilect a savin to the merchant who, when using the ordinary glass bottles, is required to meet certain regulations involving sealing, sterilizing, pasteurizing, etc., that are avoided Iby the use of the present invention.

Another object is to provide a paper bot tle having the appearance and proportions of a milk bottle whereby it can be used in lieu of a glass bottle at all stages of milk handlin it bei possible to use the standard mec nsms or filling the bottle, to inspect the contents of the bottle without openit, and so seal the bottle that the contents thereof cannot be removed without detection. A

A further object is toconstruct 4a pa r bottle with interior and-exterior shoul ers at the neck portion thereof for engagement byastopperdiskandasealingca respec,

tively, whereby the opening of e bottle without mutilation is prevented.

A still further object is to provide a bottle made up of sections so assembled that the will constitute longitudinal and annular reinforcements.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description p the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinatfilplilis if parvhich hereinlflte'lmore escri an in outn e aims, it understoodo that various changes may be mad; the const'hiictoi:i and ai*- rangement o e parts wi out eparting omthespiritorsacnicinganyofthe advantages of the invention as-claimed.

. In the accom anying drae preferred form of einventionhas shown,

In said dra Figure 1 is an evation of the paper bottle constituting the presentinvention.

2 is an enlarged longitudinal section erethrough.

3 is a section on line 3 3,- Figure Fiagure 4 is a section online 4 4, Fig- Figure 5^is a section through a portion of the bottle, the parts being shown separated. Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 desi ates an oi'iter thickness of paper of suitab e grade sha into frusto conical form with its longitudinal edges` lapping, as shown at 2, to rovide a thickened ortion constitutingl a ongitudnal reinorcement. The lar end of this frusto conical portion is slig tly contracted to .provide a short cylindrical portion 3. Fitted tightly within the outer thickness 1 is an inner thickness of pa er likewise ical with its lon tudmal edges `lapping, this inner thickness indicated at 4 and its lapping ed at 5. .gfhe lap 5 is preferably diametri constitutes a ongitudinal reinforcement. The two thickn have their small ends flush whilethe cylindrical portion 3 projects heyond the end of the inner thic 4. The portions 1 and 4 cooperate to form the upper tapered portion of the wall of the bottle and are rovided, near their small ends with o cooperat to form a' window or sight o 6.' A eet of snitable transparent material, indicated at 7 extends across this window and has its inarz ginal portions extended between the thick-V 1 and 4 and tightl gripped and held thereb A suitable a esive can be used forhodingthesheet'in lace.

The lower portion of e bottle wall is made up of aninner thickness 8 and an outer thickness 9, both formed of a suitable gade of paper and both cylindrical. Ea of theseth :News: haSllSl hldlnledge portions' lapping, as indica at 10 11 respectively, there'rv to provide longitudinal reinforcements. ese reinforcements are diametrically opsed and areadapted to aline with the pp' portions of the tapered part of the bo e when the various The thickness' 8 is fitted tightly within the thickness 9 but projects therebeyond at one end as shown at 12, thereby to abut against the end of the thickness 4 lap the cylindrical portion 3, which, in turn, abuts against the end of the outer thickne9. (SeeFigureS.) Abottomdisk con' 13, having an annular flange 14 depending therefrom, is ada ted to bear against the lower end of the ickness 8, and the outer thickness 9, which projects be ond the flange 14, is adapted to be turne in, as at 15 to bear against the bottom surface of the disk 13 and provide a channel 16 in which the ange 14 will rest. It is to be understood that the paper forming thewall thick.

nesses and the bottom disk is suitably prepared to withstand the actionl of moisture and any suitable adhesive is employed to hold the parts assembled roperly.

Fitted on the small en portion of the bottle wall formed 'as described, is a paper ring 17 havin one edge inturned at 18 to provide a dou le thickness and present an exterior shoulder 19 and an interior shoulder 20. Shoulder 20 is flush with the ends of the thicknesses 1 and 4 and cooperates therewith to provide a broad annular seat'or shoulder for supporting the sealing disk of the bottle. Ring 17 is tapered and thus overhangs said annular seat as shown.

The sealing disk has been illustrated at 21 and is formed of paper suitably treated. The diameter of disk 21 is substantially equal to the greatest diameter of, the seat provided therefor and is greater than the diameter of the openin in the upper end of the ring 17. A circu ar depression 22 is formed in the disk and is so proportioned that when the disk is fitted on its seat the depression will extend into the open end of the bottle wall and act as a plug. Spaced weakened portions are rovided in the disk,

as shown at 23 where y the disk can be` punctured readily when it is d sired to remove the contents of the bottle or when it is desired to remove the disk from its seat.

It will be apparent that the disk can not be placed in position on its seat without snapping it into the contracted upper end of the ring 17 so that it can restfirmly on the seat. Removal of the disk thereafter without detection is prevented because it ibecomes necessary to perforate it with some implement in order to properly engage and withdraw it. By having s aced openings in the disk the contents of t e bottle can be poured out Without removing the disk.

For the purpose of sealing the disk in the bottle and protectin the mouth of the bottle, there is provi ed a sealing cap also formed of paper and indicated generally at 24. This cap includes a disk having a depression 25 msertible into the neck ring 17 and ada ted to rest on and constitute a backing or the disk 22. An annular flange is formed at the mar 'n of the disk, as at 26 and is formed with an inturned edge portion 27 providing an interior annular shoulder 28.- This inturned portion 27 is slightly spaced from the surface of the flange sopas to be free to expand slightly when forced over the large end of the neck rinrlg 17.

he sealing cap, which is of paper of suitable grade is rendered waterproof in any suitable manner and has the necessary degree of stiffness. The neck ring 17 is fixed to the wall of the bottle by a suitable adhesive and is also waterproof and of a suicient degree of stiffness.

After the bottle has been filled the disk 22 is snapped into position as described. The sealing cap is then forced over the neck rin 17 so that the depression 25 will bear against the disk, as shown in Figure 2 and the shoulder 28 will snap under the shoulder 19 and fasten the cap to the neck rin Thus the cap is held secnrel to place an cannot be removed from t e bottle without mutilating it.

A bottle such as described will with` stand the pressure exerted` by a filling machine and, when filled and sealed, will meet the re uirements of the states and communities. ('he substitution of one grade of milk for another grade without detection, is prevented, the window allows for proper inspection of the contents of the bottle, and as each bottle is to be discarded after use it is unnecessary to resort to sterilizng and pgsteurizin as heretofore. The use of a ttle of t is character makes it possible for the producer to bottle the milk at the dairy and ship it direct to the consumer, the construction of the bottle being such that it will withstand rough usage without breakingvor leaking.
