BOTTLE-CLOSURE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 23, 1907.
Application filed July 16, 1906. Serial No. 826,487.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ISAAC C. DILKs and JAMES PARK, Jr., citizens of the United States, residing at Cavite, Philippine Islands, have invented a new and useful Bottle-Closure, of which the following is a speci- Iication.
This invention relates to bottle closures, and has for its principal object to provide means of simple and cheap construction for closing the mouth of a bottle in such manner that it cannot be relled without detection.
A further object of the invention is to provide a bottle closure in which the neck of the bottle is provided with a weakened portion above which the main closure is located, it being necessary to detach the upper portion of the neck before the contents oi the bottle can be poured out.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of this type in which provision is made for preventing the passage of any broken glass into the bottle while the neck is being detached.
With these and other objects in view, as will more fully hereinafter appear, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportions, size and minor details of the structure may be made without ldeparting from the spirit or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of the invention.
In the accompanying drawingsz--Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the upper portion of the neck of a bottle embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan View of the same on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to-indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.
In carrying out the invention, the bottle 10 is provided with a neck l1, the bore of which is preferably tapered continuously from the top to the base of the neck, although this in all cases is not essential. On the lower portion of the neck is placed a cork 12, which forms a seal for preventing loss of the contents of the bottle by evaporation, and which serves further as a means for preventing the passage of any broken glass into the bottle when the top of the neck is removed. At a point above the top ofthe cork 12 the neck of the bottle is provided with a weakening groove 15, so that the top 0i the neck may bebrokenofi Without diculty, and after the withdrawal of the cork 12 in the usual manner, the contents of the bottle may be poured out.
In order to prevent access to the cork l2, a stopper 17 formed of glass or other suitable material is arranged in the upper portion of the neck, the stopper being preferably provided with a tapered iiange 18 at its upper end, said flange fitting over the tapered mouth 19 of the neck, so that it is practically impossible to insert a wire or flexible strip of any material into the neck.
The lower portion of the stopper 18 is provided with a transversely extending opening 20, in which are arranged two pins 2l that are forced apart by a spring 22, the pins seating in notches or grooves 23 formed in the inner wall of the neck.
After the bottle has been filled, the cork 12 is driven down into position, and then the stopper 17 is inserted, the inclined Wall I9 of the mouth serving as a means for gradually forcing the pins 21 inward against the stress of the spring 22, and the tapered bore of the bottle neck further assisting in this operation, so that the stopper may be readily placed in position and forced downward until the pins 21 spring out into the recesses 23. The stopper is thus permanently locked in the upper portion of the neck and cannot be removed until the neck is broken'into fragments.
It will be noted that the glass stopper occupies the portion of the neck above the weakening groove with its lower surface approximately in alinement with the upper wall of said groove, whereby when the top of the neck is broken oft the stopper as a whole is detached and may be removed from the detached portion of the neck for subsequent use. Also, the sealing cork 12 is located wholly below the plane of the weakening groove with its upper surface slightly below the lower wall of said groove to permit of the entire removal oi the reduced portion of the neck from that part of the neck which remains on the bottle after the top has been detached. It will be noted that the stopper and sealing cork, respectively, constitute reinforcements at opposite sides of the weakening groove and thus serve to confine the cleavage to the grooved portion of the neck.
We claim In a bottle, a neck having continuously tapered bore of gradually increasing diameter from the body of the bottle outward, the mouth portion of thc neck being provided with a tapered stopper receiving seat, and the peripheral portion of said neck' being provided with a weakening groove, a cork seated in the tapered lower portion of the neck and having its upper face slightly below the lowermost wail of the weakening groove, a stopper inserted in have hereto atxed our signatures in the presence of two the mouth portion of the neck and having a tapered ange witnesses.
