UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS E. SHORTELL, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 707,265, dated August 19, 1902.
Application filed July- 29, 1901.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS E. SHORTELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented or discovered new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.
In the accompanying drawings,which make part of this specification, Figure I is a vertical section through the bottle when the same is sealed. Fig. II is alike View representing the positionof the parts if an attempt were made to refill the bottle. Fig. III is a like view showing the position of the parts during emptying the bottle.
The purpose of my invention is to devise a form of bottle and stopper which would prevent the refilling of the bottle after its original contents have been removed.
In the accompanying drawings,which make part of this specification, 2 is the shoulder of the bottle.
3 is a contracted portion of the neck, and 4. an expanded portion of the neck. At the junction of the contracted and expanded portions of the neck is formed a ledge or seat 5 for the purpose hereinafter explained. One or more depressions or grooves 6 are formed in the upper end of the bottle and which act as passages for the liquid.
The stopper, the main bodyof which is preferably made of glass, is of the following construction: The upper end of the stopper has a flange 7, which is suitably beveled on its under side to make a neat fit on the ledge 5 when the stopperis in a position to resist the introduction of a new body of fluid into the bottle after the old has been discharged. Be neath said flange 7 are trough-like depressions 8 8. The lower end ofvthe stopper is preferably tapering and adapted to receive a ring of cork or other suitable sealing materia 9.
10 is merely a filling-cork,-which may or may not be usedduring shipment, &c. It
claim- Serial No. 70,019, (No model.)
performs no function in the operation of the bottle.
The manner of using my stopper is as follows: The bottle is filled and the stopper put in, as shown in Fig. I, and the filling-cork 10 placed'on top of the same. When it is desired to empty the bottle, the filling-cork 10 is removed and the stopper is punched down to the position shown in Fig. III, so that the cork ring 9 is pushed past the contracted portion 3 of the neck. Whenthe bottle is tilted,
the liquid will flow out through the passages 6 and 8 and around the flange 7. It will now be impossible to draw the stopper, because the cork ring is freely swollen, so it will not pass the shoulder at the lower end of the contracted portion 3 of the neck. Also any attempt to introduce liquor into the bottle will be prevented by the flange 7 being forced down upon the seat 5, efiectually sealing the bottle from the outside.
If desired, the ring 9 may be formed with the stopper, and the shape and location of the various passages may be considerably modified while still retaining the principle of my invention.
Having- A bottle having a neckwith an integral contracted portion, a shoulder at each end of said contracted portion,the lower shoulder having grooves or passages, a stopper having a neck adapted to fit the neck of the bottle and the grooves adapted to register with the grooves in said lower shoulder, a flange at the upper end of said stopper adapted to fit the upper shoulder of said contracted portion, and a head on the lower end of the stopper adapted to expand under said lower shoulder to prevent the withdrawal of the stopper.
