UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
COOLIDGE COOK PALMER, OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 590,331, dated. September 21, 1897.
Ap lication filed December 19,1896. Serial No. 616,246- (No model.)
To all whom it may OOH/0877b.
Be it known that I, COOLIDGE COOK PAL- MER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in N on-Refillable Bottles; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such'as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to a non-refillable bottle.
The object of the invention is to provide a bottle of this character, so that after it has been filled and sealed the contents cannot be removed unless the neck of the bottle is broken, thus preventing bottlers imposing upon the public by refilling the bottles with inferior articles and placing them upon the market as original packages.
lVith this object in view the invention consists of certain features of construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter fully setforth.
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated my invention by a sectional view.
Adenotes avessel which maybe in the form of a bottle, jar, or jug, and which is provided with a neck B, the interior of which preferably flares from its base to its mouth.
0 denotes an annular recess formed in the interior wall of the neck, thus forming upper and lower annular shoulders D and E, respectively. On the outer side of the neck, a slight distance below the shoulder D, is formed a deep groove F.
G denotes the stopper, which may be of cork, rubber, or any suitable material, and which is adapted to be inserted into the neck of the bottle until its lower end comes in contact with and is stopped by the lower shoulder E, which prevents it being accidentally or intentionally shoved into the body of the bottle. The upper end of .the stopper is preferably shallowed out, as shown at H, so as to form a resilient edge, which, after the stop per has been pushed into the neck of the bottle, will spring out underneath and engage the upper shoulders D in the neck, and thus prevent the removal of the stopper.
In order to prevent the stopper being cut into pieces and removed in that manner or being bored through, I cement to the top of the stopper a disk-I, which has a diameter corresponding to the interior diameter of the neck, so that no tool or implement can possibly penetrate the stopper without first breaking the porcelain disk.
When it is desired to remove the contents of the bottle, all that is necessary is to give its neck near its mouth asharp blow. This will fracture the neck at the groove F, and as the stopper G extends downwardly in the neck of the bottle below this groove small pieces of glass will be prevented from falling into the bottle.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A non-refillable vessel having a neck, the interior wall of which is provided with a lateral recess to form upper and lower shoulders, and the exterior wall of which is provided with a deep groove arranged between the shoulders, a stopper, the upper end of which is shallowed out to produce a spring edge to engage the upper shoulders when the stopper is in position, a porcelain disk having a diameter corresponding to the interior diameter of the neck, and a packing of cement placed in the shallowed portion of the stopper and subserving the double function of holding the porcelain disk in place and of expanding and holding the spring edge of the stopper into engagement with the upper shoulder to prevent of its compression and withdrawal, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
OOOLIDGE COOK PALMER. Witnesses:
A. J. WARD, FREDERICK EGNER.
