3 Claims.

The invention relates to a bottle onstruction and more especially to non-refillable bottles.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a bottle of this character, wherein the neck has tted therein a plug or stopper, the latter serving to anchor a mouth closure for the sealing of the mouth of the .bottle after the lling thereof, while the original contents of the bottle can be readily and conveniently dispensed at will, it being practically impossible torefill the bottle without destruction to the neck, so that the genuineness of the contents of the bottle in the original filling thereof will be assured.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a bottle of this character, wherein the closure for the mouth of said bottle is of no vel construction and aiords a permanent seal for the mouth of the bottle to avoid any possibility of a refilling of the bottle through its mouth after the dispensing of the original contents.

A further object of theinvention is the provision of a bottle of this character, which is comparatively simple in constructiomthoroughly reliable and effective in its purpose, strong, durable, and inexpensive to manufacture.

y With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully`described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the 111-' vention, and pointed out in the claims hereunto y appended.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a bottle constructed in accordance with the invention, showing the cap removed for the dispensing'of the contents of said bottle.

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the cap applied for the closing of the bottle.

Figure 3 is a sectional view onI the line 3 3 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4--4 of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-'-5 of Figure 2 looking in the direction'of the arrows.

Similar reference characters indicate correspending parts throughout the several views in the drawing. Y

Referring to the drawing in detail, the bottle comprises a body I0 which, in its conventional style, is of glass and formed with the neck II having the externally reduced mouth I2, and

this neck is provided with upwardly divergent.

dispensing passages I3 for the delivery of the contents from the body I0 after the filling of such bottle. The mouth I2 accommodates a cap I4 which is either frictionally held upon the mouth or threaded with the neck of the bottle.

The cap iI4 normally closes the passages I3 tor 5 prevent the dispensing of the contents ofl the body IIJ of the bottle until the cap I4 has been removed from the mouth.

The Vneck I I h-as provided therein, a filling bore E or opening effecting next to the mouth I2 a cir`- l0 cular'socket or recess I5, while next to the body II)v is an inwardly tapered bore or passage I 6 considerably reduced in diameter with respect to the socket or recess I5. The wall of the socket or recess I5 has diametrically opposite notches 15 I1 for accommodating anchoring pins I8, these being preferably made from metal, while the neck II and mouth I2 are of glass.

Accommodated within the socket or recess I5 is an inverted substantially cup-shaped'sealing 20 member I9, its side wall slidably accommodating the pins I8. These pins I8 are automatically driven into engagementV` in the notches I'I by the cone end 20 of a stopper or plug 2| which is fitted within the bore or passage I 6. Thus it 25 will be seen that the member- I9 will perm-anently seal the filling opening in the neck of the bottle, while the stopper or plug 2l closes the inner tapered portion I6 of said opening and functions to anchor the member I9 in the socket 30 or recess I5, said member being made from glass while the stopper or plug is made from vulcanized rubber, wood, cork or such like elastic material.

Should any attempt be made to rell the bottle 35 by the breaking of the" member I9, which is of glass, for the removal of the stopper or plug 2|, the pins I8 having the toothed outer ends 22 will fracture the mouth I2 to render the bottle unt for further use. It is practically impossible to 40 clear the filling opening of the bottle without damaging such bottle and rendering it unt for further service.

Normally the `bottle has its neck II land mouth I2v open and after the filling of the body I 0 of 454 said bottle the plug or stopper 2I is placed within the lling opening in the neck so as to t the portion I6, with the outer cone end 20 projected into the socket or recess I5. Thereafter the member I9 is forced into the socket or recess I5 50 to become seated therein. The short pins I8, slidably carried by the member I9 have inner conical ends which travel over and compress and slightly groove the cone end 20 of the stopper or plug when said member I9 is being seated. 55

When the 'pins are brought opposite the notches I1, they will be forced by the expansion of the plug end 20, thereinto. The member I9 is thus permanently anchored in, and seals the lling opening in the bottle neck Without danger of the metal pins inflicting injury to the glass member I9 or the neck of the bottle. It is impossible to clear the filling opening of the bottle Without damaging the latter, because should pressure be brought to bear upon the member I9, the elastic cone end 20 of the stopper or plug 2| will act as a spreader for the pins I8 and their serrated or toothed outer ends 22 will fracture or break the neck of the bottle to render it unfit for further use.

It, of course, will be seen that the passages I3 will function for the dispensing of the contents of the bottle and the venting of air for the free flow of such contents from the bottle.

What is claimed is:

1. A bottle of the kind described comprising a body having a neck forming a filling mouth, a plug carried in the neck and having a, coneshaped expansible spreader tip, a sealing member seated within the mouth and having anchoring pins engaged by the spreader tip for the fastening of the sealing member Within the mouth, said neck having dispensing passages opening laterally thereof for the dispensing of the contents of the body, and a closure for the passages and removably tting said neck.

2. A bottle of the character described comprising a body having a neck formed with a reduced mouth having a filling passage therethrough, a sealing member closing said passage, a plug in said passage, anchoring pins carried by the sealing member and engageable in the neck, and an elastic yieldable spreader tip on the plug designed to yield inwardly when contacted by the anchoring pins when the sealing member is inserted in the passage and thereafterto expand and force the anchoring pins against the neck When the sealing member is fully inserted in the neck.

3. A bottle of the character described comprising a body having a neck formed with a reduced mouth having a lling passage therethrough and h-aving a series of notches therein, a sealing member closing said passage, a plug in said passage, anchoring pins carried by the sealing member and engageable in the neck, a compressible 2O and expansible tip on the plug to be rst compressed by the anchoring pins when the sealing member is forced into the passage in the neck and thereafter to expand and move the anchoring pins longitudinally to bring the outer ends 25
