NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
' GEORGE E. HENRY AND CHARLES F. HENRY, or PHILADELPHIA, PENN- SYLVANIA.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,227, dated June 7, 1898. Application filed August 31,1897. Serial No. 650,100. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, GEORGE E. HENRY and CHARLES F. HENRY, citizens of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Non-Refillable Bottles,of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to a new and useful improvement in non-refillable bottles, and has for its object to provide a simple, cheap, and effective device of this description,which having once been filled and sealed the contents thereof cannot be withdrawn without giving a positive evidence 'of the same.
It is a well-known fact that the goods of certain manufacturers are imitated by others using the bottles in which the original goods were sold afterthe contents have been withdrawn therefrom and. refilling the same, and thereby deceiving the public into buying an inferior article,as well as defrauding the original manufacturer of his just returns, and also injuring his reputation; but by the use of our improvement this is entirely overcome, since a bottle cannot have its contents withdrawn therefrom and be then refilled and sealed as .the original package without detection by the ings, forming a part of this specification, in
which Figure 1 is a sectionpf the upper portion of a-bottle, showing a portion of our improvement applied thereto, while the stopper and its attachment are shown in a position to be forced within the mouth of the bottle; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the stopper forced within the mouth ofthe bottle and in engagement with the keeper, Fig. 3, a similar view showing the cork and keeper withdrawn, with the consequent result of the detector being precipitated within the bottle; Fig. 1, a detail perspective of the protector carried by the stopper; Fig. 5, a similar view of the keeper 5 Fig. 6, a slightly-modified form of our improvement, in which the protector is dispensed with and the suap-hooks secured directly to the stopper; Fig. 7, an elevation of this construction, looking at right angles to Fig. 6; "and Fig. 8, a detail of the strap and hooks which are secured to the stopper.
-In carrying out our invention as embodied inFigs. 1 to 5, inclusive, 1 represents the neck of a bottle, in which a circuitous paswhile the mouth 3 thereof is somewhat enlarged, as clearly shown. A keeper 1.,which may be of glass, porcelain, or other suitable material, is adapted to fit within the mouth by the wire 6 are suitably supported within I the mold and the bottle formed therearound.
11 represents the protector, whichis preferably made of some refractory material which cannot be easily controlled, so that when it is in place within the mouth of the bottle it will prevent tampering with the keeper, and this protector-has slots 12 formed in its periphery diametrically opposite each other, and secured therein are the snap-hooks 13, which are here shownas made of a single piece of spring metal extending across the -top of the keeper and downward through the slots, and finally terminating in the hooked ends 14. A hole 15 is formed through the keeper and metal strip for the passage of the -sage-way 2 is formed by suitable projections,
IOO
carried thereby, when brought in alinement with the slots 8, will engage with the crosswires 9 and snap under the same, so that the stopper and its protector cannot be again Withdrawn without also drawing upward the keeper, and as this would be impossible without breaking the wire 6 it follows that in so doing the detector 7 will be precipitated within the bottle.
From this description it will be seen that when the bottle is properly supplied with our improved keeper and detector it may be filled prior to being corked in same manner as the filling of any other bottle is accomplished, but after it has once been filled and the stopper forced in place, so that the hooks 13 engage with the cross-wires of the keeper, as just described, it cannot be opened and its contents withdrawn and refilled without detection by the most casual observer, since the ball 7 will then remain in the bottom of the bottle and move about therein when the bottle is used. The same result may be accomplished by the construction in Figs. 6, 7 and 8, in which 21 represents the stopper, around which is secured a metal band22, having formed therewith the snap-hooks 23, and these hooks are adapted to enter into engagement with the cross-wires of the keeper, as before set forth and for the same purpose, so that when this construction is used a protector is not necessary.
Other slight modifications may be made in the construction here shown and described without departing from the spirit of our invention, and we do not Wish to be limited to these exact details.
Having thus fully described our invent-ion, what we claim as new and useful is- '1. In combination with a bottle, a keeper secured in the mouth thereof, said keeper having grooves formed in its sides, wires extending across said grooves, a detector secured to the keeper whereby when said keeper is Withdrawn the detector will indicate the fact, a stopper carrying catches adapted to engage the cross-wires of the keeper, as and for the purpose described.
2. In combination, a bottle having a neck in which a circuitous passage is formed, a mouth of larger interior diameter, a keeper located within the mouth and resting upon shoulders, a wire, a detector suspended from the keeper by said wire, a protector adapted to fit upon the keeper, means for attaching said protector to the keeper, and a stopper to which the protector is secured, substantially as shown and described. I
3. In combination with a bottle of the character described, a keeperladapted to fit within the mouth thereof and rest upon suitable shoulders, said keeper having grooves formed in its sides, cross-wires extending across said grooves, a protector adapted to fit upon the keeper, catch-hooks carried by said protector for engagement with the cross-wires, a stopper secured to the protector, a wire suspended.
from the keeper, and a detector secured to the lower end of this wire, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
4. In combination with a bottle, a keeper secured in the mouth thereof, said keeper having grooves formed in its sides, wires extending across said grooves, a detector secured to the keeper whereby when said keeper is withdrawn the detector will indicate the fact, a protector, a cork secured on said protector, and catches formed of a single piece of sheet metal, said piece of metal being secured between the cork and protector, the ends thereof being bent downwardly and hooked to engage the cross-wires of the keeper, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto af-.
fixed our signatures in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE E. HENRY. CHARLES F. HENRY.
