Patented. March 5, 1907.

Application filed April 18.1906. Serial No. 312503.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be t. known that I, CLARENCE MEDL Y, of

. the town of Calgary, iu'the Province of Alberta, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improve- .rnents in Non-Refillable Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,

clear, and exact description of the same.

The objects of the invention are to devise a non-refillable bottle which'will allow the contents of the bottle to flow freely therefrom, but will effectually prevent any liquid being returned, either by pouring or by pressure; irrespective of the position in which the bottle is held, to eheapen the manufacture,

ting wi. hin the neck of the bottle abuttingsai d cylindrh al plug, having an orifice there-- through and arecess in the under side thereof 1n commumaation with the openings in said plug, and means for retaining said cap within the ne-zk of said bottle.

In the drawings, Figure l is a sectional perspective view of the neck of a bottle fitted with my device. Fig. '2 is a perspective detail ofthe parts of the stopper device arranged relatively one above the other.

Like letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in each figure.

In the drawings,.a is -a bottle having the neck b'thereof formed with a slightlytapered portion 0 and the extending portion-preferahl cylindrical.-

is a disk of glass or other suitable nonabsorbent and'non-corrosive material fitting loosely within the neck of the bottle and hav ing a central orifice e therethrough ancl an annular groove f in'the outer periphery, preferably at the lower side.

..;:g is a ring of corkor other suitable compressible material'fitting around the lower portion of thediskd and filling the groove f.

The disk d is 'plaoedin the Rocket the bottle and pressed downwardly, pushing the ring 9* slightly into the tapered :iporti'on. c of the neck, and thus making a secure and watertight ioint with the said neck. The central orifice e is preferably circular and 'tapersin- ,wardly from'the upper surfa" e, and the under surfa 'se is flared outwardly to'a point near the edgeof the disk. 4 A

' his a-valve orfloat, of cork or other suitable material that'will float, and is tapered to, fit

thetapered'ori'li e c. 'The kalve or float it rests in the said orifi z e, and the upper surfade is fiat and the disk d.- I

i is atone-shaped weight, of glass or other suitable materiahwhi h rests upon the upper fa. e';ol' the diskd and-the top surfae of the valve 7L, holdin said valve do 11 upon normally flush with the top of its seat and dosing the ori'lir-e e.

y is a cylindrical plug, of glass or like material, fitting loosely Within the neck of the bottle and resting upon the disk (Z and havin a eoneshaped recess lcd'orn cd in the uneer side thereof. The recess 7c has the sides thereof parallel with the cone-shaped weight 'i, but a slight distance above the same. The recess It extends outwardly to near the. outer edge of the under side of the plug, leaving a narrow edge for the said plug to rest upon the disk (1. Z are vertical slots formed in the outer periphery of the 'plug and extending from the top thereof downwardlyand coinmnnicating with therecess 7c, m is acap, also formed of glass, fitting loosely within the neck I) and resting upon the top of the plug j. The cap mhas a recess a in the under side thereof in communication with the vertical slots Z in the plug .j and a central orifice 0 extending upwardly from said recess. The orifice 0 is preferably of small diameter,

. p is an annular recess in the outer periphery of the cap m, and q are vertical slots or openings extending from the said annular recess to the upper surface of said cap.

1" is an annular groove formed in the inte rior of the neck of thebottle and registering A with the groove 7) in the cap on sis a cement filling which is l'Ol ted through the vertical slots 1 and ii s the annular grooves p and 'r in a plastic state and when set securely seals the cap in place in the neck of the-bottle and prevents thetsaid cap from being removed. and consequently any of the other portionsbelow the said cap.

The bottle is first filled with the liquid whi'ch'it' is to contain and the parts previously described placed in position. A suit.- able cork may then be inserted in the top portion of the neck to prevent the contents of the bottle from escaping. In order'to re- I do I the bottle from the neck." Should the bottle tionof the bottle the small enddoes not .bottle must be tilted until the side of the vIt will be then be impossible to pour liquid wire would then have to bend at a right angle move the contents of the bottle, the cork is drawn and the bottle tilted in the usual manner. The liquid c ontained in the bottle will hit the valve h from its seat, pushing the cone i into the recess k in the plug and flow through the slots 1 and the central orifice 0". in' the cap \i'hen the liquid has been poured from the bottle and the bottle placed upright, the float It will drop into its seat and the cone i will drop on top of it.

N 0 liquid can bepoured or forced into the bottle after the parts descr bed have been Placed in position, When the bottle in an upright position, the opening e is securely closed, and consequently no liquid oan'enter be tilted on its side,' the cone-shaped Weight i will slip sidewise until the side of the cone comes in contact with the side of the coneshaped recess is, and as the recess 76 is of the same angle as the cone it cannot tilt forward. Thus the flat portion or bottom of the weight '5 remains pressing against the float h, holding it securely to its seat.

It will be readily seen that in order to cause the Weight 'i to slide away 'fro [11 the disk at and 'allowthe float lute lift ollits seat the cone-shapeid recess is past the horizontal.

into the bottle. Should li uid be'forced into the neck of the bottleun 'er pressure when in an inverted or partially-inverted position, the said liquid will lift the float h from the base of the cone, and as the said float is of such a length that even in the inverted posileave the opening the liquid will lift'it up- Ward and cause it to securely close the opening. The greater the pressure the tighter the valve will seal the opening. i

The construction of the plugj and cap m is such that it is i possible to inserta w1re orinstrument thal will hold the. float off its seat, as it would be necessary for such wire to pass through the orifice 0, across the recess n, and down one of the vertical slots Z. The

again in order to ass in far enough to foul the float, and it is apparent and h been found in practice that tris is impossib e.

A bottle fitted with 'tli stopper attachments herein described will fill a long-felt Want and can be furnished at a very small cost. There are no delicate parts to get out thec'ork float or valve, may be molded in glass;
