Description

TOKUTARO NISHIDA, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 17, 1913.

Application filed March 25, 1912. Serial No. 685,994.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, TOKUTARO NISHIDA,

' a subject of the Emperor of Japan, and a resident of the city of Seattle, in the county of King and State of lVashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has for one of its objects to provide a simplified and improved construction of the above type, which, while being capable of ready removal by authorized parties, will safe-guard the latter as well as the trade against adulteration or substitution with respect to the contents of the bottle.

A further object resides in the provision of novel valve securing mechanism.

Other objects will be set forth as my description progresses and those features of construction, arrangements and combinations of parts on which I desire protection, succinctly defined in my annexed claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawing wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout: Figure 1 is a vertical section of my attachment applied as in use, the valve controlling device being adjusted to secure the valve closed. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the attachment and the upper end portion or neck of the bottle, the casing of said attachment being broken away and illustrating the valve controlling device in its releasing position, and Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1. Y

My invention comprises a casing 1 having its upper end portion externally screw threaded and provided with spaced apertures 2 which are normally closed by an annular flange 3 having threaded engagement with the said threaded portion of the casing. Flange 3 depends from a rotatable casing-closure 3, constituting a member for advancing and retracting a valve controlling device 4:, which latter is conveniently in the form of a stem fixed to said closure 3 and projecting through a perforated guard 5, fixed to said casing above valve 6 and limiting upward movement of the latter (see Fig. 2), as in my Patent 1,012,095. The lower end portion of stem t is provided with a shoulder 7 which during movement of said stem to its releasing position engages guard 5 to limit upward movement of closure 3 immediately after flange 3 of the latter has uncovered apertures 2, and thereby prevent removal of the closure from casing 1, as shown in Fig. 2. Valve 6 which is adapted to seat flatly upon the upper end of the bottle neck, is provided with a facing 6 of suitable yielding material, as for example, rubber or cork, and with a lug 6 connected by a pivot pin 8 with lugs 9 of the casing, the aperture of lug 6 being elongated to permit of slight play of the valve which is desirable in obtaining a firm seating of the latter on the bottle, as is apparent.

Reference numeral 10 indicates the bottle on the neck 10 of which casing 1 is mounted, the lower end portion of said casing receiving the bottle neck 10 and having screwthreaded engagement therewith, as shown.

Casing 1 can be sealed against removal by unscrupulous persons, in any desired mannen. A convenient method however, consists in applying the sealing material, as 11, to the bottle neck and over the lower edge port-ion of the casing which latter may be cutout, as at 12, for reception of a portion of the sealing material to obtain a more perfect seal. To close apertures 2one of which is designed to serve as an outlet port and the other as a vent, closure 3 is screwed downwardly and such movement adjusts device 4: to firmly press and hold valve 6 on the upper edge of the bottle neck 10'.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of America, is

In combination with a bottle, a casing on the neck of said bottle, said casing having its outer end open and formed in its side wall with a discharge opening, the outer end portion of said casing being screw-threaded, a valve in said casing, a guard in said casing above said valve, said guard consisting of a perforated plate, a venting removal of the latter from the caselesure for the open outer end of said casing, for the purpose specified.
