O. L. SMITH. NON-RBFILLABLE BOTTLE.

UNITED STATES PATENT Orricn.
CLARK L. SMITH, OF RONKS, PENNSYLVANIA.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letter Patent No. 596,220, dated December 28, 1897. Application filed February 18, 1897. serial No. 623,981. (No model.)
To all whom it mat concern.-
Be it known that I, CLARK L. SMITH, a citi- .zen of the United States, residing at Ronks, in
the county of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles; and I do hereby 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.
This invention relates to bottles, the object of the same being to provide a simple and cheaply-constructed bottle and stopper therefor which cannot be refilled without detection after its contents have once been removed.
The invention consists of a bottle having an elongated neck at the upper end thereof, with a circumferential groove or weakened portion in its outer surface, and a cork fitting within the lower end of said neck, having a metallic cap upon its upper end.
It also consists in a wire fastening device for use when the bottle is filled with charged liquids, the same consisting of a strip of stiff wire bent at its central portion, forming a loop, which may be inserted into the neck of the bottle and engage the upper end of said cork, and having downwardly-extending arms on each side of the neck of the bottle, the said arms having inturned ends, which are adapted to fit within the circumferential groove or weakened portion heretofore referred to.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a vertical central sectional view of a bottle constructed according to my invention, the cork being shown in place in-the neck thereof and the fastening device for said cork applied. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of the cork, and Fig. 3 is a similar view of the wire fastening device.
Like reference-numerals indicate like parts in the different views.
The bottle 1 is formed with an elongated neck 2 at its upper end, the said neck having a circumferential groove or weakened portion 3 cut in its outer surface. Adapted to fit within the lowerend of the neck of the bottle is a cork 4 of ordinary construction, having a metallic cap 5 riveted-or otherwise secured to the upper endthereof, said metallic cap preventin g the application of a corkscrew through the of the bottle.
The cork 4 is then free to be removed by hand or in any other. suitable manner. The upper end of said cork normally lies above the groove 3.
In connection with the foregoing parts I employ, when the bottle is filled with liquids charged with carbonic-acid gas, a fastening device 6 for preventing the expulsion of the cork from the internal pressure on the inside Said fastening device 6 consists of a strip of stiff wire bent at its central point, forming a loop 7, which is adapted to be inserted into the upper end of the neck and engage the top surface of the cap on the cork 4. It is also formed with downwardlyextending substantially parallel arms 8 8, which are provided with inturned ends 9, adapted to fit within the circumferential groove 3. The method of applying the same is illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings. When in place, it is absolutely impossible for the cork 4 to become accidentally removed, and to get at the contents of the bottle it is merely necessary to break off the upper end of the neck 2 in the manner heretofore set forth.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A fastening device for bottle-corks consisting of a strip of stiff wire bent at its central point forming a downwardly-projecting loop, and downwardly-extendin g arms on each side of said loop lying in the same plane therewith and having their lower ends inturned, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination withabottle, and a cork fitting within the opening in the neck thereof and located beneath the upper edge of the neck, of a fastening device for said cork consisting of a strip of stiff wire having a downwardly-extending loop formed therein proj ecting down into said neck and engaging the upper end of said cork, and means for clamping the outer ends of said wire to the neck of the bottle, substantially as described.
3. The combination with a bottle having a the bottle formed with inturned ends adapted circumferential groove in the outer surface of the neck thereof, and a cork fitting Within the opening in said neck and located beneath the upper edge of the neck, of a fastening device for said cork consisting of a strip of stiff Wire bent at its central point forming a down- Wardlyextencling loop which projects down into the neck of the bottle and engages the top surface of said cork, and downwardly-extending arms upon the outside of the neck of to fit Within said groove, substantially as and for the purpose described.
I11 testimony whereof I have signed this 15 specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
