NON-REFILLABLE RECEPTACLE FOR FLUIDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 28, 1909.

Application filed August 10, 1909. Serial No. 512,249.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ACOB H. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 1524 Madison avenue, city of New York, in the county and State of New York, have i11- vented a new and useful Non-Refillable Receptacle for Fluids, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in non refiillable receptacles for fluids and is applicable to the bottling of any fluid of any degree of fluidity or density; and the object of the invention is to preclude the possibility of refilling the receptacle either i in the usual manner of filling ordinary receptacles, or by mechanically holding my valve and filling after said receptacle is once properly emptied; thereby preventing the re-marketing of any specific bottled product by other than the true compounders; in the receptacle by them put on sale. To this end I make my receptacle of any appropriate material in two sections ;a reservoir with a valve seat-rest thereto and a neck section; and a clamp for making a unit of the two sections. I use the reservoir section in the initial filling by usual process; a gravity valve arrangement that permits the discharge of liquid on inversion of the receptacle; a shield or guard preventing the manipulation of this valve by mechanical means; and a packing ring to insure a liquid-tight joint all as illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the receptacle with the female clamp section II removed; Fig. 2, an elevation of the valve C; Fig. 3, a bottom view thereof; Fig. 1, an elevation of the valve-seat D Fig. 5, a bottom view thereof; Fig. 6, an elevation of the valve-guard E; Fig. 7, a bottom view thereof; Fig. 8 represents a horizontal section on the line w-y with the lower or reservoir section B valve C seat D uard E and packing ring 11 removed. I use a neck section A with a mouth 22; annular recesses 1 and 2 formed on the bottom of said neck section, and annular projections of increasing diameter, 8, 1 and 5 respectively on the outer lower portion thereof, a reservoir section B with an annular projection 6 and annular recess 7 formed on the top thereof, and annular decreasing diameter, 8, 9 and 10 respectively on the outer upper portion thereof. The valve O of suitable material has a hollow cylindrical body 12, with discharge openings 13, substantially as shown, and a flanged top 14, which has a V annular projection on the under side of the flange thereof.

WVhen the valve C is placed on its seat D the lower end of the valve body 12, is expanded into the valve weight and stop 16. The valve seat D consists of a disk bored at its center for the valve body 12 to pass through, and has formed on the upper face a V annular recess 17 to mesh with the annular projection 15 of the valve top 1 1. The valve guard E is cup shaped and of one piece, though I may make it in other convenient form, with discharge openings 18 on top thereof, and an annular flange 19, formed around the bottom edge thereof.

In the assembling, the reservoir section B is filled with any liquid whatsoever; when filled, the valve seat D with the valve C, with weight and stop 16 attached, as previously the annular projection 6; the valve guard E is placed with its flange edge concentric with the outside of the valve seat D and directly over it; the washer ring 11 is placed in the annular recess 7 section A is then placed in position so that projection 0 of section B enters its recess 1.

By the use of a special machine designed for the purpose, the male clamp G with its flanges 20, and female clamp H with its flanges 21,-1nade of pewter or of such like compositiondesigned to enshroud the annular projections 3, at and 5 of section A, and 8, 9 and 10 of section B, substantially as illustrated ;are oined together as shown in Fig. 8.

The projection 6 in section B entering recess 1 of section A together with the washer ring 11,-preferably made of corkresting in recess 2 of section A and recess 7 of section B serve to make the joint of the two sections liquid-tight; while by the nature of the clamping of tapering surfaces, the clamps G and H firmly fix the neck section A onto its seat in the B section, making a unit of the two sections.

' The receptacle may be marketed with the usual cork and seal at the mouth 22. In

projections of of suitable material described, is placed on i --S6LllS removed, the gravity valve G emptying the contents, after the cork and drops in the direction of the mouth 22 of the receptacle, when said receptacle is inverted, allowing the contents an unobstructed flow through the hollow cylindrical body 12, thence through the discharge openings 13 of the valve C thence around the periphery of the flange lt of the valve C, thence through the discharge openings 18 of the valve guard E thence through the mouth 22'of the neck section A.

With the receptacle standing on its bottom, my gravity valve is in the closed position shown in Fig. 1, and any liquid poured into the mouth 22, cannot enter the reservoir section B nor can any liquid be made to enter the reservoir section B when valve C is forced back into its closed position as by an attempt at infusion under pressure with the receptacle inverted. It is evident that if the valve C could be held open, the, reservoir section could be filled; to offset this possibility I use valve guard E substantially as described to prevent access to the valve through the only channel available, viz :the mouth 22.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and Patent:
