NON-RE FILLAB LE BO TTLE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 2, 1909.

Application filed March 24, 1908. Serial No. 422,980. Renewed December 21. 1908. Serial No 468.588.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, DANIEL J. ONELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non- Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to bottles and particularly to non-refillable bottles.

The object of my invention is to provide a bottle of simple construction and of low cost to manufacture which cannot be re-filled after having been once emptied.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

My invention will be more readily under stood by reference to the accom anying drawings forming a part of this speci cation, and in which,

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the upper portion or neck of a bottle embodying my invention in its preferred form, Fig. 2'is a section on the line 00% of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line y of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings 1 indicates the body of the bottle having a contracted neck or discharge 0 ening 2 terminating in the inverted conica portion 3. The upper edge of the portion 3 is formed with a vertical or c lindrical flange 4 which is internally t eaded as at 5 forming a shoulder 6.

7 indicates a conical member having the periphery of its base threaded to engage the threads 5 of the portion 4. \Vhen the member 7 is screwed into place a conical valve chamber 8 is formed, defined by the conical Walls 3 and the horizontal base face 9 of the portion 7. The member 7 is of solid glass and is provided with a plurality of curved ducts or passageways 10 extending from its upper face 11 to the under face 9. The u er end of the member 7 terminates in tie ollow cylindrical neck proper 12 in the u per end of which a cork may be inserted.

he neck portion 12 is provided with a diaphragm 13, referably of glass and provided with a plum ity of tortuous assageways 14. The dia hragm 13 is a disk ike member arranged lntermediate of the upper end of the neck and the face 11 of the portion 7, and is secured in place by being cemented or fused to the walls 12.

15 indicates a valve, preferably of cork, and arranged within the chamber 8. The valve 15 is of larger diameter than the opening 2 and when in normal position closes the same. Secured to the valve 15 and extend ing vertically upwards therefrom is a tubular glass stem 16 having its upper end closed as at 17. The member 7 is provided with a vertically disposed cylindrical recess 18 for the upper end of the valve stem 16. The recess 18 is arranged centrally of the member 7 and is of sulficient length to permit enough movement of the valve 15 to open the discharge port 2. The recess 18 does not extend entirely through the member 7 but several of the ducts 10 extend into the upper end of said recess as indicated at 10 in Fig. 1. This prevents a closed chamber being formed above the valve stem which would interfere with the proper operation of the valve.

The bottle is originally filled before the valve and the member 7 are put in place. After being filled, the member 7 is screwed into position, the threaded portion being cemented so that after it is hardened the portion 7 cannot be removed without breaking the bottle. It is obvious that the liquid will flow freely from the bottle, as when the bottle is inverted the valve 15 will drop back from the opening, after which the fluid will flow through the lowermost of the ducts 10 and 14 and air will enter through the upper ducts. It is also obvious that it is practi cally impossible to fill the bottle after having been emptied. Any fluid which enters through the ducts 14 into the chamber 19 between the disk 13 and the upper face 11 of the member 7, will pass through the ducts 10 and 10, part flowing into the chamber 8 and part into the recess 18 above the valve stem, the latter being sufficient to prevent opening of the valve, the weight of the stem 16 also serving to overcome the buoyancy of the cork valve 15.

The perforated diaphragm 13 prevents access to the upper ends of the ducts 10, either to insert an instrument thereto or to prevent closing of the ducts 10 against the entrance of the fluid.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A non-refillable bottle comprising a body portion having an inverted conical neck formed integrally therewith in combination with a conical member secured to the upper end of said neck and having a plurality of tortuous passageways therethrough, and a valve arranged in the inverted conical portion and having a stem there being a guideway in said conical member for said stem, substantially as described.

2. A. non-refillable bottle comprising a body portion having an inverted conical neck portion formed integrally therewith, a solid conical member secured in the upper end of said neck portion and having a plurality of tortuous passageways therethrough, a valve arranged in the conical neck portion and a valve stem, said solid member being provided with a recess for said valve stem and certain of said tortuous passageways discharging into said recess above said valve stem, substantially as described.

portion formed integrally therewith and constituting a valve chamber, in combination with a substantially solid conical member secured to the upper end of said neck portion and closing said valve chamber, a valve arranged in said chamber, said solid member having a plurality of tortuous passageways, a cylindrical extension for said member, and a perforated diaphragm arranged therein, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

DANIEL J. ONEIL.
