NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 684,870, dated October 22, 1901. Application tiled December 24, 1900. Serial No. 40,870. (No model.)

iro all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, MoRrrz'RosENsrooK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, (Flushing) borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the followingT is a full, clear, and exact description. l ro My invention relates to an improvement in non-reiillable bottles, and comprises certain novel features which will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

I5 Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure lis a sectional elevation of a bottle zo having myinventionembodiedtherein. Fig.

2 is a similar view showing a modified construction, and Fig. 3 is a section taken through the neck of the bottle.

The above-referred-to drawings show the z5 form of my invention which is now preferred by me, although I am aware that the details of construction of the parts may be considerably changed witho ut changing the character of the invention, and I do not therefore wish 3o to be limited to the exact construction herein shown. The following description applies to the construction herein shown.

The bottle A in the form shown in Fig. l is provided with a ledge B, which, as shown, consists of a diaphragm having a central discharge-openin g, the upper surface of said diaphragrn acting as a valve-seat. Within the portion of the neck above this diaphragm or valve-seat is placed a valve D, which has an upward hollow extension, serving to guide the valve in its movements up and down Vin the neck, and provided with grooves d in its exterior adapted to permit the passage of the liquid. At the upper end of the bottle-neck a seat a2 is provided, which is engaged by the edges of a perforated diaphragm E, said diaphragm having a tubular downward extension or pendant F, which terminates a short distance above the bottom of the tubular extension of the valve, so that the valve may move a short distance, which is limited by neck.

cont-act with the lower end of the pendant. The pendant is herein shown as being of a conical shape, the opening in the same extending through the diaphragm. 'Ihe lower end 53 of the cone, which is the largerend, forms a free-sliding fit within the upward extension of the valve. The diaphragm is provided with holes e outside of said pendant, and these are extended above the upper surface of the dia- 6o phragm by means of short tubes ve', which increase the difficulty of inserting a wire or other instrument within the bottle, so as to interfere with the proper operation of the valve.

In the forni shown in Fig. 2 a cup II is in- 65 sei-ted within the neck, said cup being provided with a flange h, located at its upper end and engaging a seat provided therefor in the bottle-neck. In, this construction the diaphragm which forms the valve-seat is formed 7o v as the lower portion of the cup II, as is shown at I-I". The bottle-neck might be provided with a seat at the point B', as indicated in Fig. 2, instead of the seat at the upper end.

In either of the constructions shown the parts 7 5 which are inserted within the bottle are held in place by means of a locking-cap G, said cap being constructed and secured to the bottlel after the manner illustrated in the Patent No. 573,484, issued to me December 22, 1896. In 8o saidpatent the cap and neck are shown as provided with threads, which are engaged to hold the cap in place, and also with a spring catch or pawl, which engages recesses in the cap and bottle-neck to prevent the cap from being screwed backward. In thel device as herein shown a bayonet-joint is used as a substitute for the screw-threads. This bayonetjoint consists of the projections g upon the cap and the projections o upon the'bottle'- 9o The spring-pawl is shown at I in Fig.

3, being a small piece of metal which is bent back upon` itself and which will spring together while the cap is being inserted, but will 'spring outward, so as to lock the cap in 95 place, as soon as ils-reaches the recess in the bottle-neck. The cap is also provided with a discharge-opening g, which when the bottle is not in use will be filled by an ordinary cork. In Fig. l the valve is shown as down roo upon its seat, while in Fig. 2 the valve is shown as raised. The valve in Fig. 2 is also provided with a teat adapted to enter a hole in the diaphragm H', so as to both guide the valve to its place and to form a better seatin gsurface. The lower position of the valve is shown by the dotted outline of this teat.

It is preferred that Washers, as C C', be inserted between the parts of the device, so as to permit a slight yielding of the parts while being located in position and also to insure a tight joint which will prevent leakage.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent l. A bottle having a valve and valve-seat within its neck, the valve having an upward hollow extension, a diaphragm extending transversely within the neck and above the valve, said diaphragm having a central stop depending within the hollow extension of the valve and adapted to engage the bottom thereof before the upper end of the extension contacts with the diaphragm, said diaphragm also having holes outside of the depending stop, a seat for the diaphragm within the neck, and a cap having a discharge-opening and a lock ing engagement with the upper end of the neck and holding the diaphragm in place.

2. A bottle having a removable cup iitting within the neck and seating thereon, the bottom of said cup having a discharge-opening, a valve within said cup having an upward hollow extension and adapted to close the discharge-opening in the cup, a perforated diaphragm seated above the valve and havinga stop engaging the valve before its upper end touches the diaphragm, and a cap having a discharge-opening and provided with means for locking' it upon the neck, said cap holding the diaphragm and cup in place.
