NQNREFILLABLE-B'OTTLE' Filed March 25, 1936 .WA LTER KEEMM INVENTOR BY Wu? ATTORN Y I III q n wumm UNITED STATES PATENT- OFFICE".
Waiter Keenan, Little Falls Township,
Passaic County, N. J.
. Application March 23, 1936, Serial No. 70,306 I 1 Claim. (01.215-21) My application relates generally to nonreflllablebottles tached to the neck of ordinary bottlesto prevent or devices adapted to be atrefilling said bottle. i
The main object of the device is to provide a one-wayvalve allowing liquid to be-poured out of the bottle but prevent the bottle from being refilled. A further object is .to provide a valve cage,
with orifices and theliquid may be discharged but at the same passages therein through which time prevent manual tampering with the valve in attempting to refill the bottle. by virtue of the novel design and location of said orifices and passages.
The valve is a ball, and is held in said cage which has the general form of a truncated cone.
' The object of said cone shaped cage is to provide means for rolling the ball valve toward the valve seat even when the bottle and device are held in a horizontal position thereby tending to close the valve against the possibility of attempting to introduce liquid into the bottle even in this position.
The construction and operation of the device are explained in the following description in conjunction with the accompan ng drawing,
wherein Fig. 1 is a front vice attached to a bottle neck.
Fig. 21s a' front elevation of the valve cage elevation section of the deand Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof.
. Fig. 4 is a plan view-of the valve seat bushing and Fig. 5 is a front elevation thereof.
, In Fig. -1, nu1'neral I indicates the tubular hous-Y ing having the lower; portion of theinternal wall (which fits over the longitudinal the bottle neck) parallel with axis; the upper portion is tapered toward the throat or discharge outlet I8.
6 The-ball valve cage-2 comprises. a body portion 5. The said verticalorifices 8 lead from a cone shaped annular passage l6, formed between t-he internal surface of housing i and the external 7 surface of valve cage 2, to theithroat or discharge outlet l8. Adjacent the lower end of the conical body 2| a plurality of normally horizontal orifices 9 are provided longitudinal axis which are-perpendicular to the of said cage 2. The horizontal opening of the valve aperture l2; In thevarious positions of the bottle between the said delongitudinal axis of the cage 2; therefore due to --charge passages for the purpose.of dislodging orifices 9 lead from the conical valve chamber I to the cone shaped annular passage it.
The lower end of the body 2| terminates in the base plate 6 which is provided with a central opening 20 (Fig. 2) through which the ball valve 3 will pass in assembling the device. A valve seat bushing l0, having a nippleportion i9, provides a seat H for said ball valve 3. The nipple por-. tion I9 is adapted to fit snugly into the opening 20 and be retained therein by a press fit whereit) by the upper surface I of flange J3 is held against the base plate 6. .The neck of the bottle 4 is forced up against the lower surface i5 of flange l3 to secure the cage assembly in the housing i. A cementing material is then placed 15'- illustrated in Fig. 1. When the bottle is tipped to an angle of. approximately 70 degrees from the vertical for the purpose of pouring out the liquid, the ball valve 3 will roll from its seat II and rest against the inner wall or the cone shaped 25 cage 2. when the bottle neck has been tipped to a position of approximately 10 degrees below the horizontal, the ball valve 3 will roll to a position as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 and allow full greesfrom the vertical and 10 degrees below the horizontal, after the ball valve 3 has been rolled from its seat, the said valve rests at one point on the-inner suriace-Iof the body 2| or chamber 1 and at. another point on the valve seat II. In-
' that position-a small'partial opening exists be tween the valve 3 and-seat ll aro' d the upper portion of the periphery. Thissmall opening. in conjunction with the position of the bottle (70 degrees'or more'fi'om the vertical),.makes it impractical to refill the bottle even when the valve 3 is-not fully seated.
- As pointed out above the orifices 8 are parallel with, and the. orifices 9 perpendicular to the the said orifices being at right angles to each other it is practically impossible to insert a wire or other instrument through the-outlet and disthe valve 3 from its seat II in attempting torefill the bottle. Further due to the slope of the annular passage IS the outer openings of the orifices 9 are a greater distance from the longitudinal of the cage than the-distance be?- 55 tween the orifices 8 and the said axis; therefore to insert a wire as aforesaid it would have to b bent to an acute angle.
When the valve 3 is rolled from its seat H the liquid from the bottle 4 flows from the bottle neck through the valve aperture l2 into the valve chamber 1 and thence through orifices 9, annular passage I 6, orifices 8 and out at the throat l8. In order to assemble the device, first a ball valve 3 is placed in the cage 2 and the valve seat bushing l pressed into position. Then the valve cage assembly is forced up into the body I; the peripheral surface of the head and base plates 5 and 6 are beveled to conform with the internal taper of the tubular housing I to provide a tight fit. The neck of the bottle 4 is then inserted in the lower end of the tubular housing I until it presses securely against the lower surface l5 of the valve bushing Ill. While the said parts are.
held in this position a cementing compound is poured or forced into the area I! between the housing and bottle neck to permanently fasten the device to the bottle.
It will be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific construction or arrangement of parts shown but that they may be widely modified within the invention defined by the claim.
I claim: V
The combination with a bottle of a device for rendering the bottle:non-refillable, comprising a tubular housing having the lower portion of the internal wall parallel with the longitudinal axis and the upper portion tapered toward the throat v fit in the internal taper of said housing, a conical passage formed by the internal surface of said housing and the external surface of said cage, a conical valve chamber, a ball valve located in said chamber, a central opening in said base plate through which the said ball valve will pass in assembling the device, a valve seat bushing having a nipple portion providing a seat for said ball valve and adapted to be retained in said central opening by pressed fit to complete said valve. cage assembly, a plurality of orifices in said conical body leading from said valve chamber to said conical passage adjacent the-lower end of the conical body and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said cage assembly, a plurality of orifices in said head plate adjacent the periphery thereof leading from the said conical passage to the throat portion of the housing and being parallel with the longitudinal axis of said cage assembly, the first plurality of orifices being so disposed in relation to the second plurality of orifices to form an acute angle communication therebetween for preventing tampering with the valve.
