ADOLPH IV. MORITZ, OF SOUTHFIELD, NEW YORK.

BOTTLE.

SPECIFICA'IION forming` part of Letters Patent No. 579,651, dated March 30, 1897.

Application filed April 2 5, 1 8 9 6 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLPH W. MORITZ, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the town of Southeld, in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a speciiication, reference. being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to bottles, jugs, jars, and similar vessels; and the object thereof is to provide a vessel of this class with a neck attachment whereby when the vessel has once been lled and the attachment applied the vessel may be emptied of its contents, but cannot be refilled or reused.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which- Figure l is a central vertical section of the upper part of a bottle or other vessel provided with my improved attachment, and Fig. 2 a side view thereof.

In the practice of my invention I provide'a bottle or vessel having a neck A, which is preferably provided with an annular shoulder or projection a, and the inner walls of which are provided above said annular shoulder or projection with notches or recesses a2, or the annular groove may be substituted for said notches or recesses, if desired. I also provide a cap or cover which consists of a tubular casing B, the lower end of which is adapted to inclose the upper end of the neck and to rest on the .annular shoulder a, and the upper end of which is conical in form, as shown at l), and provided with a central opening b2 at the top thereof.

Secured within the cap or cover B or the body portion thereof is a partition-plate D, the central portion of which is curved upwardly, so as to form a conical upwardly-directed extension d, the upper end of .which is open and provided with a valve G, which is provided with a depending rod gf, the lower end of which is provided with a weight g2.

The upper side of the valve G is preferably flat and the lower side thereof conical in form, and secured within the cap or cover and centrally of the upper part thereof is a tube I-I,

Serial No. 589.184 (No model.)

the lower end of which is larger than the upper end, and said lower end is secured to the partition-plate D, and mounted therein above the valve G is a cap 71 which is hollow and slightly conical in form and the base of which is directed downwardly, and the tube H is provided with a partition-plate h2, in which is formed a central opening through which passes a bolt K, provided with a button or head 7c and on which is mounted a spring L, the lower end of which bears on the partition-plate h2 and the upper end of which bears on a shoulder or projection 7a2, formed on the bolt K, and on one side of the tube H is an inwardly-directed shoulder or projection h5.

The cap or cover B or the body portion thereof is provided with a number of perforations or openings b4, which are formed therein above the partition-plate D, and at one side of the bottom of the tube H is an opening M, with which a tube m communicates, which passes upwardly and outwardly through the conical portion'of the cap or cover, as shown at m2.

Secured to the lower side of the plate or partition D are depending spring-arms O, the lower ends of which are provided with outwardly directed projections or heads O2, which are adapted to operate in connection with the notches or recesses a2, so as to securely connect the attachment with the neck of the vessel, and the bolt K is adapted to be depressed, so that the cap h will rest on the valve G,in which position the bolt K may be turned so that the shoulder or projection k2 will rest beneath the shoulder or projection h3 on the tube H and hold the bolt in the depressed position, and the bottle will be sealed by the pressure of the cap h on the valve G.

The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the following statement thereof.

In this class of devices the bottle or vessel must iirst be filled before the neck attachment is applied, and the bottle or vessel provided with the neck A having been filled with the desired contents the neck attachment is secured thereto, as will be readily understood, by forcing the lower end of the body portion B downwardly over the upper end of the neck, in which operation the spring-arms O IOO pass inside of the neck andthe heads or projections O2 enter the notches or recesses 0:2 and securely hold the attachment in place and prevent the removal thereof. The outei` end of the tube in may be closed by a cork or plug, if necessary, and when it is desired to empty the bottle or vessel or discharge a portion of its contents said plug or stopper is removed and the bolt K is turned so as to release the shoulder or projection h3, after which the cap h will be raised by the spring L, and when the bottle or vessel is inverted or tilted the contents thereof will iiow out around the valve, which will leave its seat under the action of gravity and the pressure of liquids within the bottle or vessel, and the latter will ilow ont into the lower end of thc tube H and through the tube in, as will be readily understood, and this operation may be continued or repeated until the bottle or vessel is entirely empty.

If an attempt be made to refill the bottle or vessel by pouring liquids thercinto, the valve G will at once be reseated and no liquids can enter the bottle, and said liquids will also flow out through the side ports or openings b4 in the cap or cover. The depending rod g and the weight g2 serve to assist in this opera-tion ofthe valve, and said operation of the valve will be the same in any position in which the bottle or vessel may be held in an attempt to pour liquids thereinto, and said valve may also be made to act as a float-valve, in which event no liquids could be forced into the bottle, and if an attempt be made to force liquids int/o the bottle the same would pass out through the lower end of the tube ll and the side ports or openings b4, it being observed that the lower end ot' the tube ll is also perforated, so as to correspond with the side ports or openings h4.

This device is simple in construction and operation and perfectly adapted to accomplish the result for which it is intended,while being also comparatively inexpensive.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination with a bottle or other vessel provided with a neck, of a cap or cover comprising a tubular body portion, and a top, said body portion being provided with a partition-plate at or near the middle thereof, the central portion of which is directed upwardly to form a conical extension which is open at the top, a valve adapted to be seated on said conical extension and having a depending rod secured thereto, a weight mounted on the lower end of said rod, and said valve adapted to close the port or opening through said extension, said cover being provided with side ports or openings above said partition-plate, and means for holding the valve in place, Substantially as shown and described.
