SEALING DEVI'CE FOR CONTAINERS Filed Aug. 31, 1954 WITNESS INVENTOR ATTORNEYS bottle.
Patented Oct. 29, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application August 31,
3 Claims.
This invention relates to bottles or containers intended to contain liquor, liquids or solids, in sealed condition so that if the container is tampered with this may be readily observable by the condition of the container.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is an elevation of a bottle embodying this invention with the usual finishing cap removed; Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. l Fig. 3 is a top view of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is an elevation of the bottle without the cap and seal secured thereto, and Fig. 6 is a view of a bottle with the device in its completely sealed condition.
The invention has been illustrated in connection with a head of a bottle but it is to be understood that this invention is also applicable to containers of all kinds whether made of glass or of other suitable material.
The container I is provided at the upper portion of the neck thereof with a band or bead 2 made preferably during the formation of the container. Suitable thin wires or filaments 3 have their lower ends 4 embedded in the material of the band or bead 2 so that they are firmly an- 'chored therein. These Wires or filaments may be made of metal, asbestos thread or any other suitable type of material which is strong enough to withstand the usual handling of containers during transportation and at the same time readily severable when unusual pressure is brought to bear against the wires or filaments. In some instances, particularly if the container is made by a cold process, the filaments 3 may be made of fibrous material. In instances where the invention is associated with a molded bottle it is preferred to make the filaments 3 of thin wire, the lower ends of which are embedded in the band or bead 2 during the manufacture or molding of the bottle. A ring 5 is positioned directly above the band or bead 2 preferably with a snug fit so that it may be readily turned or rotated around the upper edge of the neck of the bottle. This ring 5 is provided with extensions 6, which extensions on opposite sides thereof are provided with thin edges I constituting severing edges. It is preferred to provide the ends of the extension I with the finger pieces 8. The mouth of the bottle is provided with a cover 9 preferably having asso- 'ciated therewith a screw threaded skirt I 0 adapted to be threaded over corresponding threads molded around the outer edge of the mouth of the The filaments 3 are extended upwardly and bent over the cover 9 and sealed to the top surface of the cover by a suitable sealing I I which 1934, Serial No. 742,246
may be solder in case the cover 9 is made of metal or other suitable material which will firmly hold and seal the filaments to the top surface of the cover 9.
A sealing cap I2 fits over the cover 9 and may 5 either be crimped thereon or suitably soldered to position.
When it is desired to have access to the contents of the bottle, the seal is broken by applying finger pressure to the ring 5 in order to turn 10 it or rotate it over the top surface of the band or bead 2. This movement brings the edges I into engagement with the wires or filaments 3 and breaks or severs them, thereby permitting the removal of the 'cover 9. The wires or filaments 3 15 having once been broken, the broken ends will always indicate to the purchaser that the device had been previously opened and it is obvious that it would be impractical to repair the seal should it be desired to refill the container.
In the drawing, six filaments or wires are shown for the purpose of illustrating the invention but a lesser number may be used and in some instances it will be found satisfactory to use but two for the individual members. The filaments may also 25 take the form of individual ribbons or fiat bands of material and in the appended claims reference is made to the filaments, wires, ribbons or bands as sealing elements.
I claim:
1. In a container, a sealing device comprising an enlargement on the container and spaced from the mouth thereof, a multiplicity of thin, readily severable filaments having portions thereof embedded in the enlargement, a closure member for 35 the mouth of the container, portions of the filaments engaging the closure member, and a rotatable member positioned between the enlargement and the mouth of the container, said rotatable member being adapted during rotation to engage the filaments and sever the same between the enlargement and the mouth of the container.
2. In a container, a sealing device comprising an enlargement on the container and spaced from the mouth thereof, said enlargement being made 45 of the same material as the body of the container and extending circumferentially thereof, a multiplicity of thin, readily severable filaments having portions thereof embedded in the enlargement, ,a closure member for the mouth of the container, 50 portions of the filaments engaging the closure member, and a rotatable member positioned between the enlargement and the mouth of the container, said rotatable member being adapted during rotation to engage the filaments and sever the same between the enlargement and the mouth of the container.
3. In a container, a sealing device comprising an enlargement on the container and spaced from 5 the mouth thereof, a multiplicity of thin, readily severable filaments having the end portions thereof embedded in the material of the enlargement, a closure member for the mouth of the container, the other ends of the filaments being secured to the closure member, and a rotatable member positioned between the enlargement and the mouth of the container, said rotatable member being adapted during rotation to engage the filaments and sever the same between the enlargement and the mouth of the container.
