NONREFILLABLE BOT\TLE Filed Dec. '7, 1955 Patented Dec. 15, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE NONREFILLABLE BOTTLE Joseph Scott Junkin, Chicago, Ill.
Application December 7, 1935, Serial No. 53,288
1 Claim.
vent ready refilling of the bottle with spuriou 7 liquid. 1
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which Fig. 1 is a. top plan view of a bottle embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 a side view of the neck portion thereof;
Fig. 3 a vertical section through the neck portion of the bottle; and
Fig. 4 a horizontal section taken substantially on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
The embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawing comprises a bottle body III of conventional form and having a neck portion formed of separate lower and upper portions II and I2. The upper portion I2 is permanently closed at the top and preferably made square in horizontal section as shown. At the juncture between said neck portions they both are outwardly enlarged and provided with recesses I3, each recess being provided with three divergent grooves or notches I4 for interlocking with the sealing band I5. The sealing band I5 is made of soft metal pressed into the recesses I3 and I4, so as to interlock therewith and join the upper portion I2 of the neck to the lower portion H thereof.
A cutting element I6 in the form of a steel strip V-shape in cross section is embedded as indicated in the inner periphery of the band I5, one end I! of said strip protruding as shown and provided with a ring I8 for engagement by the finger. At its other end the strip I6 is provided with an outwardly turned end I9 embedded in the band I5, as best shown in Fig. 4, and whereby said end of said strip is anchored to prevent longitudinal slippage in the band I5. A cork 20 is arranged as shown in the neck of the bottle to traverse the band I5.
By this arrangement a bottle is provided in which the contents will be sealed until the band I5 is severed. To sever the band I5, the ring I8 is engaged by the finger and the cutting strip I6 drawn outwardly through the band I5, thereby severing the same. This cutting action of the strip I6 is facilitated by itsV shape and also by the anchoring of its inner end I9 in the strip I5. The square shape of the top of the neck I2 also facilitates the gripping thereof during the severing manipulation. When the band I5 has thus been severed, the bottle may be opened by twisting'the top I2 and thus .rernoving the lower portion of the cork 20 from the lower portion of the neck II., After a portion of the contents of the bottle have. been removed, the same may be sealed by re-inserting the lower end of the cork 20 in the neck portion II, the combined top portion I2 and cork portion 20 thus serving as aremovable stopper for the bottle as and when desired. 7
The band I5 is preferably made of a soft metal which may be readily incorporated in the neck of the bottle by pressure and will subsequently solidify or crystallize so as to hold the bottle neck in proper form and position and thus become a part and parcel of the bottle itself. When the cutting strip I6 is withdrawn, the band I5 is shattered, leaving fragments sticking in the reimpossible to refill the bottle 'so as to deceive the purchaser into believing he is receiving the original package.
While I have illustrated and described a preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect; this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I therefore do not Wish to be limited to the precise details disclosed but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as .fall within the scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
A bottle provided with a neck permanently sealed at its top, the upper portion of said neck being separated from the lower portion thereof, there being comparatively large and shallow recesses in the opposed edges of saidneck and each of said recesses being provided with divergent notches; a soft band of locking substance interposed between said neck portions and pressed into and interlocking with said recesses and notches; and a cork in said neck traversing said band.
