UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HORACE ROLANDBEILL, OF LYTTELTON, NEW ZEALAND.
BOTTL E AND S TOPPER THEREFOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 724,655, dated April 7, 1903.
Application filed May 20, 1902. Serial No. 108,215. [No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HORACE ROLAND BELL, a subject of His Majesty the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Lyttelton, in the Provincial District of Canterbury, in the Colony of New Zealand, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Bottles and Stoppers Therefor,of which the following is a specification.
According to this invention the stopper of a bottle cannot be withdrawn and the con tents of the same drawn off without mutilating the bottle, which when thus mutilated cannot be refilled and sold as the production of the original merchant or tradesman without detection.
I make the neck of my bottle with a top which can be readily severed from the main portion of the neck by joining the parts by means of narrow uniting-pieces or'unitingpieces having points of connection of small section. An outer cork is fitted into the detachable top of the neck. In the neck below the uniting-pieces is a second or main cork, and a metal disk or cap provided with a screw is fixed to this main cork. The bottom of the disk may be flush, or nearly so, with the bot tom of the uniting-pieces or it may enter the detachable top of the neck.
To open the bottle, the top of the neck is sharply rapped, when it will break olf. The disk is then unscrewed from its cork, a hole in the edge of the disk being provided for the purpose. The main cork is thus left free to be withdrawn. by an ordinary corkscrew. While the bottle is in use the cork of the detachable top can be used in the main part of Figure 1 is an exterior view of the neck of a bottle and stopper made according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a similar section showing a modification.
Similar numerals of reference indicate similar parts.
1 is the neck of the bottle; 2, the detachable top of the same.
3 represents uniting-pieces.
4 is an outer cork or stopper; 5, the main cork.
6 is a hard-metal disk covering the top of the main cork and fixed thereto by a screw 7, which I prefer to make of wire, having its upper end 8 passed through a lug 9, 'made solid with or attached to the disk, as shown by Fig. 3, or it may be attached by twisting the wire upon itself to form a coil 10 and then casting-the disk upon and embedding the coil, as shown by Fig. 2.
11 is a hole or slot in the edge of'the disk for the reception of any suitable pointed instrument for screwing the disk from the cork. The disk may be fixed, as shown by Fig. 2, flush, or nearly so,with the bottom of the uniting-pieces, or it may be raised above the said uniting-pieces, as shown by Fig. 3, and the neck may be provided with an extension 12, covering the openings between the uniting-pieces, and thus prevent tampering with the disk through such openings.
The bottle is filled with liquid before the main cork 5 and stopper 4 are inserted. After filling the bottle the main cork 5, with its hard-metal disk 6 in position, is inserted and then the stopper 4 and its washer 13 of cork or the like are placed in position.
To open the bottle and withdraw the contents, the top 2 is sharply struck,when it will break ofi where the uniting-pieces 3 connect with the neck 1. The disk 6 is then unscrewed from the cork 5 by inserting 'a suitable instrument in the hole 11. The main cork is thus left free to be withdrawn by anv .metal cannot be tampered with when the stopper 4 is withdrawn; but the top 4: must be broken off to afiord access to the hole 11 in the edge of the disk.
What I claim as my invention, and desire.
to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In combination with the neck of a bottle, a top provided with a stopper and connected to the neck by uniting-pieces which may be readily broken, a cork in the neck of the bottle, a disksof hard metal attached to the top of the cork by a screw, substantially as set forth and a hole in the edge of the disk for receiving an instrument whereby the said disk may be unscrewed from the cork, sub stantially as set forth. :0
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
HORACE ROLAND BELL. Witnesses:
