NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 775,195, dated November 15, 1904.

Application filed May 4, 1904. Serial No. 206,384. (No model.)

To a/I/ wltom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PAUL SCHMOLCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fayetteville, in the county of \Vashington and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to non-refillable bottles, and has for its objects to produce a comparatively simple inexpensive device of this character which when once filled and sealed will permit the free discharge of its contents, but prevent the introduction of liquid to the bottle, thus obviating the substitution of an inferior grade of goods for that originally contained by the bottle.

To these ends'the invention comprises the novel features of construction and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional elevation through the upper portion of a bottle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional plan on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. Sis a detail perspective view of the valve.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a bottle, and 2 its neck, the latter being provided upon its interior and ata point adjacent to its juncture with the bottle with an upwardly-extending truncated conical portion 3, the upper open end of which constitutes a discharge-passage 4:, through which the liquid' may fiow in its passage from the bottle. The neck 2 is slightly enlarged in diameter above the conical portion 3, as shown, and is provided near its upper end with a pair of oppositely-disposed lateral discharge-openings 5, there being seated in the initially-open end of the neck a cap 6, preferably held in place permanently by heating and turning the adjacent edge of the neck downward therearound.

Seated and secured within the neck at a point above and suitably remote from the dischargepassage a is a pair of protecting shields or disks 7, slightly spaced vertically one above the other and each having a pair of dischargeopenings 8 arranged at diametrically opposite points and preferably formed by notching or recessing the disks at their peripheries, the

openings 8 in one disk being arranged on a line substantially at right angles to those in the other disk, whereby the introduction of a wire or other instrument therethrough for tampering with the underlying valve 9 is wholly precluded. The valve 9, which normally seats over the upper end of the conical portion 3 for closing the opening 4, is preferably in the form of a hollow cup-shaped or tubular member of a diameter to seat downward a suitable distance over the portion 3 and having an upper permanently-closed end 10, centrally from which arises a guide member or rod 11, extended into and adapted to telescope with a depending tubular member or guide 12, preferably formed integral with and depending centrally from the cap or closure 6 and in turn having the disks or shields 7 formed integral therewith.

In practice, the bottlehaving been filled, the valve is seated in position upon the conical portion and the shields applied thereover and secured in place, after which the cap or closure 6 is inserted in the initially-open end of the neck with the tube 12 fitted over the stem 11. The upper edge of the neck is then heated under any of the well-known methods common in glass manufacture and turned downward around and over the periphery of the cap, thereby securing the latter permanently in place. The bottle having been sealed in this manner, it is obvious that the liquid may be discharged therefrom through the ports 4, 8, and 5 and that the valve will move freely to open position for this purpose, but that no liquid can be introduced into the bottle, as the valve will, except when the latter is in discharging position, remain at all times closed.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I produce a simple inexpensive device admirably adapted for the attainment of the ends in view and one in which all of the parts may be formed from glass or other suitable material which will be non-injurious to the liquor. in attaining these ends it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise details herein set forth, inasmuch as minor changes may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim is 1. A bottle having its neck provided with a lateral discharge-opening and with an internal upwardly-projecting reduced tubular extension, a cup-shaped valve seated over the upper end of the extension and having a guide member, a closure permanently seated in the upper end of the neck and having a dependent portion in telescopic engagement With the guide member on the valve, and a pair of shields carried by the depending portion of the closure, said shields being spaced one above the other and having relatively non-registering discharge-openings.

2. A bottle having its neck provided with a lateral discharge-opening and With an internal upwardly-projecting tubular extension, a cup- PAUL SGHMOLGK.
