NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS PRIDEAUX, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Non-Refillable:

- the bottle while being b own and which will prevent the refilling of the bottle after its original contents have been removed.

The invention also has for its object to rovide a novel means whereby the valve is eld' elevated while the original contents are being i introduced into the bottle.

nected to the said valve.

bottle.

\ moving Another object is to provide a valve of such construction that it cannot be elevated after the contents have been placed in the bottle.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafterfully described, and pointed out in the claims. v A

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 .is a sectional view showing theneckof the bottle with the valve arranged therein and the suspending-rod con- Fig.2 is a sectional view showing the position the valve assumes when the contents are being poured from the Fig. 3 is a side view of the valve. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of said valve.

Referring to the drawings, A indicates the sho ulderporti on of the bottle, and B the neck,

arranged an annular collar B which holds the valve within the neck and prevents it too far away from the seat. The valve with the 11 per portion out off, the top portion of said valve being formed with a recess 0, and depending from the bottom of the valve is across-piece G which has a transverse bore, through which is passed a sup ortin -wire D, by means of which the va ve is held inplace while the neck of the bottle is being formed, and this wire remains connected with the valve, passing around the same Specification of Letters Patent.

and upwardly through the neck of the bottle to a point above the upper end, so that when the original contents are poured into the vessel the valve can be lifted from its seat by means of this wire, and the liquid contents will then pass freely around the same down into the bottle. The wire isthen cut and withdrawn from the valve, leaving the same securely located in the neckof the bottle and capable of being unseated by turning the neck downwardly, as most clearly shown.

The top portion of the valve is formed with a.

' asbeen filled the 'wire is removed, leaving the valve seated, and an ordinary stopper or cork is placed upon the upper end of the bottle-neck.

When the bottle is being emptied, the valvewill be unseated and will assume the position shown in Fig. 2 but when the bottle is turned back to its normal position the valve will immediately reseat itself, and it will be impossible to pour any liquid downthe neck of the bottle into the body of the same.

It will thus be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap, sim le, and efficient con=- struction of nonrefi lable bottle, together with means for holding the valve while the arts are being properly arranged and the bottle filled, which means are readily removable after the bottle hasbeen filled.

Having thus fully described my-invention, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In combination with a bottle having a neck portion, a valve-seat in the neck portion, and a collarabove the valve-seat, a semispherical valve adapted to rest in the seat and having a recess formed in its up er face, said recess being rooved, and the va ve having a plurality o intersecting grooves formed in its exterior, spherical face, the said Valve being adapted to Work between the seat and the collar.

2. The combination with a bottle -neck,

valve having a recess, said recess being crossed by grooves as set forth.

having a valve-seat and an integral collar LEWIS PRIDEAUX' 5 above said seat, of a valve arranged upon the Witnesses:
