NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 608,650, dated August 9, 1898,
Application filed October 31, 1896- flerial No. 610,646. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, EDWARD A. CLAIR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Camden, in the county of Camden and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a specification.
An enlargement or convexity is formed at or near the top of the bottle-neck, in which is suspended a pouring-tube provided with a perforated bottom bulb, said tube being centrally suspended, preferably, by a diametrically-split cork packing, which embraces it, and is first compressed and then expanded in the enlargement and protected by a covering-flange. A similar enlargement is formed at the bottom of the bottle-neck, in which a shank guide-socket is centrally located by a like cork packing of the enlargement. The top of the guide-socket has a flange which covers the top of the cork packing, on which bears a valve or stopper whose shank or stem enters and forms a loose engagement with said guide-socket. Between the ball-seat or recessed bottom of the pouring-tube bulb and the valve or stopper are a number of balls which serve as locking mediums in preventing the refilling of the bottle.
On reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, making part of this specification, Figure 1 is a longitudinal and vertical sec tion of the bottle-neck and part of the body, showing the zigzag position of the lockingballs which bear upon the Valve or stopper and effectually hold it closed. Fig. 2 is a sectioned view of the bottle in a horizontal position. The locking-balls rest on the bottom surface of the neck wedged between the edge of the recess or ball-seat at the bottom of the pouring-tube bulb and the top of the valve or stopper, which the balls firmly hold in its seat and thus prevent refilling. Fig. 3 is a sectioned View of the bottle when inclined for pouring out the contained liquor. To give sufficient space for tilting open the valve or stopper and pouring out the liquor, the top ball has dropped into the recess or ball-seat in the bottom of the pouring-tube bulb and the other balls are proportionately advanced on the bottom surface of the neck, by which all are wedged together and prevent the valvc-stem from dropping out of its socket; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal'and diametrical section of the pouring-tube, showing its flange for covering and protecting the top of its suspending cork packing, the bulb or bottom,'with its perforations, through which the contained liquor is poured out, and its recessed bottom or ball-seat, into which the top ball of the series drops, and thus makes proportional space for the stopper to tilt open, as shown, Fig. 3.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views. 1 T
A is the sectioned body of the bottle, and B its neck, having an enlargement or corn vexity O at its upper end, in which is suspended a pouring-tube D, provided with a bulb E, having perforations a and a recess or ball-seat b in its bottom. A cork packing F incloses the tube D. This packing is fitted into the groove formed by the enlargement C, where it expands to its normal size and tightly incloses and carries the pouring-tube. A plate or flange G of the tube D covers the top of the cork packing F and prevents it from being tampered with without fracturing said flange and tube and giving evidence-of meddling.
H is another enlargement or convexity forming another groove at'the lower end of the bottle-neck B.
I is a split cork packing, which is first compressed to permit of the passage of the neck and then expanded intothe enlargement for embracing and supporting a shank-opening or guide J, having at its top end a flange or valve-seat K for covering the top of said cork packing.
L is a stopper or valve, and d its shank, in loose engagement with the shank-opening J, which is large enough to permit the valve L to tilt open for pouring, as shown in Fig. 3.
M N O are locking-balls confined in" the bottle-neck 13 between the recessed bottom or ball-seat b of the pouring-tube D and the valve L. When the bottle is vertical, Fig.
1, the balls assume azigzag position, and
their combined weight bears on the valve L and looks it firmly on the flange or valve-seat K. In Fig. 2 the bottle is shown horizontal, theballs are wedged between the edge e of the ball-seat b of the pouring=tube bulb E, confine the valve L against its seat K, and
prevent the passage of a fluid into or out of the bottle. Fig. 3 shows the bottle inclined for pouring out the liquid. The top ball M is seated in the recess 1) of the bulb E and the balls N O on the bottom surface of the bottle-neck B. The space gained by the seating of the upper ball M in the ball-seat b of the bulb E and the consequent advance of the balls N 0 enables the valve L to tilt open for pouring out the liquor. Supposing the bottle to be empty, an attempt at refilling will be futile, for the inclination will prevent the liquor rising by gravity, and pumping or other forcing will result in closing and holding the valve L on its seat K during the continuance of the pressure.
The pouring-bulb E prevents the insertion of instruments for operating the balls and opening the Valve for refilling. No instrument can be passed down the pouring-tube D, bent and turned outwardly through the perforations a of the bulb E, bend down the neck B and operate the balls M N O for finally lifting and holding open the valve L until the bottle is refilled.
The pouring-tube D, bulb E, flange G, shank-opening or guide J, and the bottom flange K are preferably of glass, though other desirable material can be used. Likewise the cork packings which inclose and support the pouring-tube and shank-opening or guide J can be of other suitable material without dividing.
I claim 1. A bottle having two grooves in its neck near the upper and lower ends thereof respectively and having its intervening surface ungrooved, in combination with packingrings which fit into said grooves, a valve supported by the lower packing-ring, a pouring-tube supported by the upper packingring and having a concavity in its lower end and a series of balls which are arranged to pack in a straight line between the edge of the said concavity and the top of the valve when the bottle is in a horizontal position substantially as set forth. I
2. In combination with a bottle having a 3 valve supported in the lower end of its neck and a pouring-tube supported in the upper end thereof and having a concavity at its lower extremity, an intervening series of balls adapted to occupy any one of three positions, in the first,resting with their weight on the valve when the bottle is vertical, in the second, extending in a straight line from the edge of the concavity to the said valve and locking the latter in closed position when the bottle is horizontal, and in the third wedging between the said concavity and the valve so as to prevent the latter from wholly leaving its seat while allowing it to open sufficiently for pouring out the contents substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDWARD A. CLAIR.
Witnesses: FRANCIS D. PASTORIUS, B. D. ARCHER.
