NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 21, 1906.

Application filed September 27. 1906. Serial No. 230.290.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GrmnLEs .IIAENNER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in non-refillable bottles.

The object of this invention is to provide a bottle of this character which can be cheaply manufactured and easily assembled and. which will have such an arrangement of parts that while the contents can be readily withdrawn nothing can be intrmluccd into the bottle after it has left the hands of the party who originally placed the contents in the bottle.

My invention therefore consists in )roviding in the neck of the bottle a pair 0 valves arranged to rest upon separate valve-seats and operate only in one direction and so arranged that each valve will assist to reseat the other valve, but the unseating of one valve will not necessarily unseat the other valve.

My invention also consists in the features of construction and combination of parts as shown in their preferred form in the drawings, described in the specification, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a central section of a bottle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on line 8 3, Fig. 1.

Again referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body of the bottle, which can be made in any preferred form or shape, and 2 represents the neck portion, in the chamber of which is formed an annular groove 3. Within the neck of the bottle is arranged a cylinder 4, which is provided at the top with a perforated cap 5, formed integral therewith. Around the upper end of the cylinder 4 is formed an annular groove 6, arranged to register with the annular groove 3, formed in the neck. Cement or similar material 7 is arranged in the said grooves 3 and 6 and forms a lock for securing the said cylinder in the neck of the bottle. In the lower end of the cylinder 4 is screwed a cylinder 8, on the upper surface of which is formed a seat 9, provided with an annular ridge or flange 10. A valve 11 is arranged to rest on the valve-seat 9, and in the under surface of the valve 11 is formed an annular groove 12, arranged to receive the annular ridge 10. The valve 11 is provided with a downwardly-extending hollow stem 13. In the lower part of the cylinder 8 is arranged a second valve-seat 15, and a flat disk valve 16 is arranged to rest on said seat 15. The valve 16 is provided with a slender stem 17, which extends up into the hollow stem 13 of the valve 11'. Within the cylinder 4 above the valve 11 is arranged a guard 18, and the distance of the guard 18 above the valve-scat 9 is less than the length of the hollow valve-stem 13 of the valve 11, so that the StPll'l will never leave the opening in the valve-scat. The stem 17 of the valve 16 is made long enough so that it will always remain in the stem 13, and the object of this arrangement is to insure the rcscating of the valves after the bottle has been tipped by preventing the valves from reversing themselves or resting edgewise on the seat 15.

It will readily be seen that the construction of my non-reiillahlc bottle is extremely simple, as the guard portion thereof can be made entirely separate cither of metal or any preferred material and then inserted into the neck of any ordinary bottle having a neck of the proper dimensions to receive it. Moreover, it will be absolutely impossible to refill this bottle, for even if the top valve is lifted the bottom valve will remain on the seat, while the top valve will always cut oil access to the bottom valve. l urthermore, if an attempt is made to rciiill the bottle by a liquid under pressure the pressure of the liquid will cause the light disk valve 16 to seat itself, and the more pressure that is exerted the firmer it will remain on the scat.

What I claim is 1. In an article of the character indicated the con'ibination of a bottle, a valve-seat ar ranged in the neck of the bottle, a valve arranged on said valve-sea t and having a hollow stem extending downwardly therefrom, a second valve-scat Formed below the iirst mentioned valve-scat, a valve arranged on said last-mentioned valve-scat and provided with a stem which extends up into the firstmentioned valve-stein and means for limitin the movement of the first-mentionml va ve, substantailly as described and f or the purpose set forth.

2. In an article of the character indicated 5 said valveseat and 15 arranged in said the combination of a bottle, a guard arranged in the neck of said bottle, a valve-seat formed below said guard having an annular ridge on its upper surface, a valve arranged to rest on provided with a groove to receive the ridge on said valveseat, said valve bein provided with a stern arranged. to extend r own through the opening in said valve-seat, said stem having a greater length to than the distance between said guard and said a cylinder secured to the lower end of the first-mentioned cylinder, a valve-seat formed in said last-mentioned cylinder at its upper end, a valve arranged to rest on said valveseat and having a hollow stein extending downwardly therefrom, a valve-so at arranged in the lower end of said last-mentioned cylinder and a valve arranged to rest on said last-mentioned valve-seat and provided with a stern extending up into the stem on the first-mentioned valve, substantially described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I sign the foregoing specification in the presence of two witnesses.
