DON J. HIGGINBOTl- IAM, OF RIALTO, FLORIDA.
BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 783,272, dated February 21, 1905. Application filed May 17, 1904:. Serial No. 208,410-
To all 71/77/0111 if; warty concern.-
Be it known that 1, Don J. HIGGINBOTHAE a citizen of the United States, residing at Rialto, in the county of Lee and State of Florida, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to bottles, the object of the invention being to provide in connection with a bottle, means whereby the stopper is held in place in the neck of the bottle, so that it is impossible to remove the stopper without breaking the neck of the bottle, and thereby revealing the fact that the bottle has been tampered with.
\Vith the above general object in view the invention consists in the novel construction,com-
bination, and arrangement hereinafter fully described, illustrated, and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the neck portion of the bottle, showing the stopper mounted therein and also showing the auxiliary cork or stopper. Fig. 2 is a similiar view taken at right angle to Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is across-section through the stopper. Fig. 4: is a plan view of the pin or key which looks the stopper in place.
Like reference-numerals designate corresponding parts in all figures of the drawings.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the neck of the bottle, which in the main is of the ordinary construction. In carrying out the present invention the bottle is weakened at the points 2 by providing-the same with opposite outer and inner annular breaking-grooves, at which point the neck of the bottle is adapted to be broken when any undue strain or jar is imparted to the upper portion of the neck. The upper extremity of the neck is preferably thickened or reinforced, as shown at 3, to allow for the formation of diametrically opposite grooves or ways 4:, which are formed in the inner surface of the neck and are adapted to receive the oppositely-projecting ribs or flanges 5 of the main stopper 6, which is preferably composed of glass. The upper edge of the stopper 6 is expanded or enlarged, as shown at 7, the outer edge thereof extending to the outer edges of the ribs or flanges 5, so as to entirely cover or fill the neck at the upper edge thereof, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The
stopper is also provided with an opening 8, extending entirely therethrough and adapted to register with acorresponding opening 9 in the neck at one side, the opening as a whole gradually tapering from end to end, as indicated in Fig. 2. The said opening is also by preference triangular in shape, as shown by Fig. 1, and is adapted to receive a pin or key 10, which is also triangular in cross-section and tapered from end to end. At the small extremity of the pin or key 10 the latter is cut away or reduced, as shown at 11, to provide a bendable point, while the neck of the bottle is provided with a correspondingly-located recess 12, somewhat hemispherical in shape,
which receives the reduced end of the pin or 1 key and acts to deflect or bend the same, as shown in Fig. 2, thus forming a lock which prevents the withdrawal of the stopper, the stopper being thus held securely in the neck at diametrically opposite points both axially and longitudinally.
If desired, an auxiliary cork or stopper 1?) may be arranged in the neck below the stopper 6, so that when the neck is broken the auxiliary stopper will project from the same and maybe easily withdrawn by hand.
To open the bottle, a sharp rap or blow is given to the upper portion of the neck by striking the same with some implement or against a table, counter, wall, or other surface. This causes the neck to break on a line with groove 2 and plainly shows that the bottle has been tampered with, thereby putting subsequent purchasers on their guard. If desired, the stopper 6 may be covered with sealing-wax in the usual manner.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. A bottle provided with a breaking-groove and also having internal longitudinal grooves at diametrically opposite points, in combination with a stopper fitting therein and provided with diametrically opposite ribs or flanges to engage said grooves, and a pin or key inserted through one side of the neck and also through the stopper and engagingatits inner end arecess in the opposite side of the neck, substantially as described.
2. A bottle provided with a breaking-groove,
and also provided at diametrically opposite its inner end deflected Within said concave re- IO points With grooves extending longitudinally ccss. along the inner surface thereof, the neck being In testimony whereof I affix my signature in a further provided With an internal concave rei presence of tWo Witnesses.
5 cess, in combination With a stopper providec w with ribs to engage said grooves in the neck DON HIGGINBOTHAM' and provided with a tapered opening, and a Witnesses: tapered pin or key driven through one side of C. O. SWANsON, the neck and through the stopper and having J. V. LEWIS.
