JAMES MOSS TAYLOR, OF YANTIS, TEXAS.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 594,765, dated November 30, 1897.
Application filed March 10, 1897, Serial No. 626,835. (No model)To all whom t magL concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES MOSS TAYLOR, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Yan-
tis, in the county of Wood and State of Texas,
5 have invented certain new and useful Im-
provements in Non-Refillable Bottles; and I
do 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
r o it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to a non -refillable
bottle; and the object of the invention is to
provide a bottle of this character which can-
not be refilled and sold as an original pack-
i5 age without detection.
With this object in view the invention con-
sists of certain features of construction and
combination of parts which will be hereinaf-
ter fully described and claimed.
20 In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is
a vertical sectional view of a bottle embody-
ing my invention, and Fig. 2 is a detail per-
spective view of the parts removed and sepa-
rated.
25 In the drawings, 1 denotes the discharge
end of a bottle, provided with a frangible stud
2, which extends over the outlet of the bottle
and is preferably provided with an arrow-
head 3.
30 4 denotes the stopper,which is of the usual
form, and 5 denotes the seal, which consists
of porcelain, glass, or any other impenetrable
material and is provided with a transverse
aperture 6, which does not extend entirely
35 through the seal, and with a vertical aper-
ture 7, intersecting the transverse aperture.
S denotes a spring-catch which is fitted in
the vertical aperture 7.
After the bottle has been filled and the
40 stopper driven in place the seal is placed
over the neck of the bottle above the stop-
per, with the laterally-projecting stud enter-
ing the transverse aperture in the seal. In
engaging the seal with this stud the arrow-head will force the jaws of the spring apart, 45
and after it has passed said jaws they will
spring together and engage the head an'd
prevent the removal of the seal, so that it
will be impossible for any one to remove the
contents of the bottle without either break- 50
ing its neck or the frangible stud.
Although I have shown my invention as
applied to a bottle, it is evident that it may
be applied to any other vessel that it is de-
sired to seal and which it is desired shall not 55
be refilled.
Having thus described my invention,what
I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat-
ent of the United States, is-
1. A vessel the mouth of which is provided 6o
with an overhanging fixed stud, a seal hav-
ing a transverse aperture to receive the stud,
and means carried by the seal for locking
said seal to the stud.
2. A vessel the mouth of which is provided 65
with an integral stud that projects upwardly
and over the outlet thereof and is provided
with a head, a seal having a transverse ap-
erture to receive the head and the laterally-
projecting portion of the stud, and having a 70
vertical aperture intersecting the transverse
aperture, and a spring-catch located in the
vertical aperture and adapted to engage and
lock the head of the seal.
3. A vessel the mouth of which is provided 75
with a stud which projects over and above
the outlet thereof, and a seal having a trans-
verse aperture intersected by a vertical ap-
erture, and a spring-catch located in the ver-
tical aperture and adapted to clasp the stud 8o
and prevent the withdrawal of the seal, sub-
stantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my
signature in presence of two witnesses.
JAMES MOSS TAYLOR.
