Abstract: 1,094,555. Non-refillable bottles. G. RADISSON. Nov. 22, 1966 [Nov. 23, 1965], No. 52325/66. Heading B8D. A tamper-proof stopper consists of a cylindrical member 1 fitting within the bottle neck as shown and containing a movable pouring tube 9, a heavy ball 8, and a valve 3, the opposed surfaces of the tube and valve being dished at 11 and 7 such that when the bottle is inverted the valve 3 is open but when it is tilted the ball moves under gravity, sideways from its axial location to the position shown in Fig. 4 to maintain the valve in its closed position by forcing the valve and tube apart. Thus the bottle cannot be filled when inclined and, when inverted, any attempt to fill it by the pressure inside the bottle being reduced below the pressure of the supplied liquid will fail because the pressure difference will raise the valve to closed position against gravity. The tube 9 has a zig-zag liquid path including upper and lower lateral ports 15, 14 the ports in each level being separated by thin webs which rupture readily if any attempt be made to pull on the tube 9 to remove the stopper or to introduce an implement into the stopper.

Title: Pollutant separator
IPC: F01M13/04
Filed: 1973-11-20
Abstract: 1451222 Removing pollutants from gas J W SCHAEFER 20 Nov 1973 [21 Nov 1972] 53882/73 Heading BIT [Also in Division Fl] Polluted gas is drawn from the rocker arm cover (8) of an I.C. engine through a gas cleaner and returned to the engine cylinder (3) (Fig. 1, not shown) by the movement of the piston (4), and the gas cleaner comprises in series an external cooling coil 24, a filter 26a and a mechanical scrubber 90. In Fig. 9 gas flows from inlet 20 to coil 24 via connector 80 and thence via a lower connector 80 to tube 27a which extends into filter 26a. Filtered gas flows up tube 81 to chamber 82 whose upper wall 85 has six openings 111 and 123. Three openings 111 open into vertical chambers 91a (Fig. 11) which communicate through chambers 91b with respective outlet chambers 91c which communicate via holes 115 with the space above wall 102. Chambers 91a, 91b and 91c all open into central chamber 100 through holes 110 and all enclose spring mounted balls which vibrate under the influence of gas flow to effect precipitation of particles from the gas. The balls largely fill the cross-sections of the chambers 91, but their vibration creates a random flow of gas between the chambers 91 and central chamber 100. Three openings 123 are normally closed by spring-loaded balls 122 which are raised by the increased pressure difference if the engine speed rises to accommodate increased gas flow. Gas from openings 123 enters chamber 100 at 121 and leaves via chambers 91c. A non-return valve comprising flexible annular disc 140 prevents back-firing reaching the gas cleaner. In Figs. 3 to 5 (not shown) the filter is a simple flat element (30) and the scrubber (Fig. 5) comprises two annular disc valves in series which open to varying degrees as gas flow rises. When the lower valve disc is fully open it engages the radially grooved underside of the upper valve support plate to constrain the gas to flow radially along the grooves.
