Patented Dec. 21, 1909,.

Application filed September 18, 1909. Serial No. 518,312.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit' known that I, CHARLES HArossY, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing in 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 itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had'to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification,

This invention has for its purpose to pro-' .vide a bottle with means whereby, although it may be drained with facility, it may not berefilled,'and whereby, before it can be made to allow refilling by unauthorized tampering with the means referred to,-it must be placed in such" a condition that it will cease even to discharge its'contents.

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the improved bottle, showing the upper or neck part thereof in vertical section; Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are views'similar to Fig. 1 except that.

the bottle is shown imposition todischarge its contents, Fig. 2 showing the normal position of a certain Valve inthe inverted position of the bottle and Fig. 3 showing the po* sition which the valve takes inthe inverted position of the bottle when afcertain stem on the valve is broken; Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the integral neck-portion of stud i which is arranged the bottle; Figs. 5 and 6 arehorizontal sectional views on the lines az-w and y-y of Figs. 4: and 1, respectively; and Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the valve.

The bottle a has an integral neck-portion b and a separate neck-portion c, the two neck-- portions forming ayertically elongated cylindrical chamber (Z. The neck-portion b has an external thread 6 and the neck-portion c an internal thread f so that the neckportion 0 may be assembled with neck-portion I) by screwing it onto the same; a rubthe neck-portion 0 when said'recess ismade to register with the socket.

The lower end of the chamber communicates with the interior of the bottle by a 'ort m, of less diameter than said chamber. .he lower surface-a of this chamber,"which is penetrated by the port m is inwardly 'eon vex; The upper end of the chamber communicates with the stopper Socket 0 in the upper end of neck-portion c by means of the ports p which downwardly diverge. The

upper end q of the-chamber d, which is pene-' trated by the ports p, is inwardly convex.

In-thechamber at is arranged a valve 1, which is cylindrical in cross-section and is formed at its lower'en'd with a concave seat 't, adapted to fit the convex end of the chamber and whose upper end is formed with a concave seat 14 adapted to fit the convex end q of chamber 61. The valve is formed of 'lass,'and in addition to a downwardly proecting tapering stem 1: whichpenetrates the port m and serves to guidethe valve toits seat 72 when the bottle stands upright, it has an upwardly projecting stem w. This latter stemprojects up from the bottom of a recess w countersunk in'the concave seat 1:, and it has a reduced'neck 1 The stem to is adapted to impingeagainst the part 71 of the material of the neck-portion c which remains between the ports 3), and so long as it is unbroken the stem prevents the valve from seating against the upper convex endof chamber d and so closing the ports p.

z designates vertical ports which extend in the cylindrical wall of chamber (Z from a A point near the top thereof to a point near' the bottom, that is, sufficiently so as to be uncovered b the valve when the bottle is inverted (Fig. 2). liquid in the bottle to escape when the bottle is inverted, the liquid passing through port m, ports a and out through ports p.

When the bottle is filled, the neck-portion 0 isof course not yet attached, nor has the valve been introduced. Having filled the bottle, the valve is placed in chamber Z, the gasket disposed 011 the top of neck-portion b, and neck-portion c screwed into place until it is interlocked with neck-portion Z), as

These ports allow the.

already described. The bottle may now be emptied, the liquid of course forcing the valve away from its seat n so that it vgncovers the lower ends of theports 2; at this time the flow of the liquid around theupper r end of the valve is freely permitted because the stem 41; keeps the valve spaced from its upper seat 9. Should it be attempted tointroduce liquid into the bottle by pouring or Otherwise, the"valve would be force against the seat a and stop the inflow. If it be attempted. to introduce a Wire or the like for the pur ose' of raising the valve, its

stem w being agile, and weakened particularly at y, will break; any subsequent attempt to discharge whatever liquid might be introduced into'the bottle would be fruitless because the head of stem 'w, falling into the position shown in Fig. 3, would allow the valve in the inverted position of the botports p.

tle to come against its seat g and close the In point of facility and cheapness of manufacture; the parts 6, c and 7" will preferably be made of glass.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by I Letters Patent is 1. The combination of a bottle having a neck, said neck having a'chamber and said chamber. having a port of communication with the interior of the bottle and a port of communication with the exterior, and a valve arranged in said chamber and movable to close the first port, said valve being also adapted to close the second port and having a fragile part. normally limiting the 'valve against assuming the closing relation with respect tothe second port, substantially as described.- Y 2. The combination of a bottle having a neck,said neck having a chamber and the upper and lower walls ofsaid chamber being each formed with a port leading the one to the interior of the bottle and theother to the exterior, and a valve having vertical movement in said chamber into closing relation to the lower port and its upper end formed to close the upper port when the valve is free to impinge against the upper wall of said chamber, said valve having a.

fragile stem normally retaining it out of contact with the upper wall of the chamber,

and said neck and valve having outlet means afi'ordingthe escape of the liquid in the bottle .when the valve is removed from seal ing or closing contact withjthe lower wall of said chamber, substantially as described.

integral neck-portionhaving a port leading from said chamber to the interior of the bottle, a valve movable vertically in said chamber and having its upper and lower ends formed to close or seal the corresponding port when in contact with the upper or lower end of said chamber and also having a fragile stem normally retaining the valve out of contact with the upper 'end of the chamber, and said valve and the chamber having outlet means aifording the escape of the liquid in the bottle when the valve 1s removed from sealing or closing contact with the lower end of the chamber. substantially as described.

In testimonyethat I claim the foregoing,

have hereunto set my handthis 16th day of September, 1909;
