IIII IL A d n/a n0 l/a M 9 Patented Apr. 18, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE NONREFILLABLE ATTACHMENT Nicholas Archidiacano, Boston, Mass.
Application August 21, 1947, Serial No. 769,837
1 Claim.
This invention relatesto la-non-refillable attachment for permanent application to bottles and other vessels containing liquors, Wines, perfumes or the like.
It is an object of the invention to provide a non-rellable attachment of the class described of simple, eiiicient and comparatively inexpensive construction and which can be readily fixed to the outlet: end' of the. neck of a bottle andserve to prevent reiilling.A ofA the llatter `when the..y original contents thereof is exhausted.
It is a further object ofthe inventionto provide an vattachment of theclass describedwhos'e essential parts may be molded to size and shape from thermoplastic synthetic material, such as synthetic resin, which will not be lchemically acted upon by the liquid contents of the bottle.
To these ends I have provided certain improvements in attachments of the class described as set forth in the following description, the several novel features of the invention being separately pointed out and dened in the claims at the close of said description.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation, full size, of the upper end portion of the neck of a bottle showing my new attachment in position thereon.
Figure 2 is a central vertical sectional view, twice full size, of the attachment showing a portion of the neck of a bottle to which it is supplied.
Figure 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
Figure 4 is a top plan View, partly broken away and in section, of the upper inverted cup-shaped weight-confining member hereinafter described.
Figure 5 is a side elevation of the member shown in Fig. 4.
Figure 6 is a section on line 6 6 of Fig. 4.
The illustrated. embodiment of this invention comprises a body I formed interiorly with a cylindrical chamber; an upper inverted cupshaped ball-conning lining member 2 tted within said chamber; a lower cup-shaped ballconning member 3 also fitted within said chainber; a valve Il slidably confined within the lower lining member 3; a ball weight 5 normally seated upon valve 4, and a removable cap 5 normally closing the upper end of the body I. All of these parts, with the possible exception of the ball 5, are preferably produced from thermoplastic synthctic material such as synthetic resin. lThe ball 5 may also be produced from such material but in practice I have utilized a stone sphere of substantial Weight.
The lower cup-shaped lining member 3 com- 2. prises an interiorly and exteriorly cylindrical body portion to which the reference numeral3 isy applied, said body portion beingmade` at its lower end with a re-entrant radial flange 6 whose-top provides a seat for the valve 4, and saidy flange surrounding and defining a port 1.
The lower endportion of body I is interiorly threadedv as at 8 and `screwedupon the upper end of the neck 9 of a bottle holding the liquidthat is to be dispensed, said neck being formed with screw threads I0 for engagement with the threads 8 of body I. Preferably cement is provided between the neck 9- and body I as indicated at II to maintain afleak-proof joint between the two parts and also to permanently secure the body I in position on the neck of the bottle. Between the upper end of neck 9 and the bottom of lining member 3 I may provide a gasket annulus I2 of rubber, cork or the like.
The body portions of the lining members 2 and 3 are interiorly and exteriorly cylindrical and are fitted snugly chime-to-chime within body I Where they are preferably permanently secured by means of cement. Thus these two elements 2 and 3 provide a ball-enclosing cage which provides for limited movement of valve 4 and ball 5 toward and from seat ange 6. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the valve element 4 is made at its periphery with a circular series of upstanding spaced apart lugs I3 slidably engaging the interior of the lining element 3, the arcuate spaces alternating with these lugs serving as passageways for the liquid discharged from neck 9 when the bottle is inverted after removal of cap 6.
Adjacent to its top the upper lining element 2 is made with a centrally disposed dome I5 connected by a circular series of radial spaced-apart arms I6 with the cylindrical body portion of lining element 2 as shown particularly in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. This dome I5 is of lessv diameter than the interior of lining element 2 so that the spaces I'I between the arms I6 serve as passageways for the liquid during pouring operations.
When the bottle is inverted to pour liquid therefrom, the ball 5 is moved by gravity into the socket I8 provided by dome I5 thus permitting the liquid to shift valve Il away from its seat and to pass around the valve and ball 5 directly to the passageways `I'I (Fig. 4).
In order to prevent the introduction of a probe through passageways I1 by means of which to manipulate the valve II in an attempt to refill the bottle, the upper end of the lining element 2 is made with a circular series of spaced-apart radially disposed re-entrant baille lugs I8 each of 3 which is disposed directly opposite and above one of the passageways I'I with its inner end terminating in close proximity to the exterior of the dome I5. The spaces between these baie lugs serve as passageways for the liquid during pouring operations.
The upper end of the body I of the attachment is made with an outlet nipple I9 of reduced diameter that is exteriorly threaded to receive upon it the removable interiorly threaded cap 6.
When the parts I, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are produced in molds from thermoplastic synthetic material of the kind referred to above they are, except perhaps for some snagging, in completed form ready for assembling and not subject to corrosion or chemical action by the liquid contents of the bottle or other container to which the attachment is applied.
What is claimed is:
A non-rellable attachment for an outlet provided at the top of a container, said attachment comprising an up-standing body element attachable to said container outlet and made interiorly with a cylindrical chamber provided at its uppei` end with an outlet port; an exteriorly and interiorly cylindrical cup-shaped lining element xedly fitted within said chamber adjacent to the lower end thereof, said lining element being made adjacent to its lower end with a re-entrant annular flange to serve as a valve seat; a valve normally seated upon said flange bordered Iby a series of angularly spaced-apart radial lugs slidably engaging the interior of said lining element and providing between them passageways for liquid;
a ball weight normally resting upon said valve. and an exteriorly and interiorly cylindrical inverted cup-shaped lining element flxedly iitted within said chamber above and in endwise abutting engagement with said first-mentioned linn ing element and formed at its top with a centrally disposed dome whose base portion is formed with a circular series of radial ports, said dome providing a pocket within said element for said ball weight when the device is inverted and said inverted lining element being also made interiorly with a series of spaced-apart re-entrant arms connected with the base of said dome in alternation with said radial ports, said arms providing between them a plurality of passageways for liquid and said inverted element also being made at its top with a circular series of radial spaced-apart re-entrant barrier lugs surrounding said dome each of which is disposed directly above one of said passageways.
