PAULLI HARDER, OF MASPETH, NEW YORK.

NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented NOV. 19, 1907 Application filed May 16. 1907. Serial No. 374.022.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAULLI HARDER, a subject of the King of Denmark, residing at Maspeth, Long Island, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in N on-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to non-refillable bottles, and one of the principal objects of the same is to provide simple, reliable and eflicient means to prevent the refilling of bottles after they have been emptied of their contents.

Another object of the invention is to provide a compound valve and a baifle for preventing access to the valve to unseat the same for refilling.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a central vertical section taken through a bottle neck and showing my improved nonrefillable bottle. Fig. 2 is a top plan view looking down into the neck of the bottle. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the baffle. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the baffle. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line 5 5, of Fig. 4.

Referring to the drawing for a more particular description of the invention, the numeral 1 designates a bottle which may be of any suitable shape, and provided with a neck having a reduced or restricted portion 2, an enlarged portion 3 having a contracted portion 4, and a mouth or outlet 5 having a rounded lower wall 6, and a groove 7 having oppositely disposed notches or recesses 8. The baflle consists of a top flange 9 having oppositely disposed notches 10, said flange projecting beyond the rim 11 and the latter being provided with annular grooves 12 provided at opposite points with a projection 13. Below the rim 11 is a reduced neck 14, and below the neck 14, U-shaped flanges 15 are provided. The baffle is hollow, and the inner wall of the same is smooth and adapted to receive .a cork or stopper 16. Between the flanges 15 an a erture 17 communicates with the interior 0" the baffle.

To secure the baflie into the neck of the bottle, the projections 13 are presented to the notches 8 in the bottle mouth, and after the projections are pushed down into line with the groove 7 in the bottle mouth, the baffle is turned until the notches 10 therein are brought into coincidence with the notches 8 and cement 18 is then poured in to surround the groove 7 and to hold the baffle firmly in place. Prior to securing the bathe in place, the ball valves are placed within the bottle neck, said ball valves comprising a hollow, rubber or compound ball 19, is placed in .the bottle neck and said ball fitting the reduced portion 2 in the neck. A solid glass ball 20 is then placed in the neck on top of the ball 19.

After a bottle made in accordance with my invention has been filled, and the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, by tipping up the bottle the contents will pass the balls 19 and 20, as they will roll up toward the baffle, the liquid in the bottle surrounding the battle and from the reduced neck 14 passing back throu h the apertures 17 and out through the baflle.

My invention is of comparatively simple construction, and will operate efliciently for its purpose.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

1. A non-refillable bottle comprising a reduced neck portion, an enlarged portion above the reduced portion, and an enlar ed mouth, a hollow rubber ball valve seatec in the reduced neck portion, a solid glass ball adapted to rest upon the hollow ball, a baffle comprising a flange, a rim below the flange, said rim being provided with an annular groove, and oppositely disposed projections, a reduced neck below the rim, and a series of U-shaped flanges provided with intermediate apertures, said baflle adapted to be permanently connected to the bottle mouth, and a cork or stopper fitted in the baflie.

2. A non-refillable bottle comprising a reduced neck portion having ball valves seated said haflie having U-shaped radial flanges 10 therein, a baflie fitted to the mouth of the and intermediate apertures, and a cork bottle and provided with U-shaped radial fitted in the baffle, substantially as described. flan es and intermediate apertures, said In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature 5 bafli e having a reduced neck'portion above inpresence of' two Witnesses.
