Patent GB-189907710-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Preventing and Detecting the Fraudulent Refilling of Bottles.
Inventor: BUTLER GEORGE EDWARD
Filed: 1899-04-12
Granted: 1900-02-24
Abstract: 7710. Butler, G. E. April 12. Stoppers; refilling, preventing and detecting. - The neck of the bottle is formed with a seat 5 for the valve 3, and is also adapted to receive the plug B, which is formed with liquid - outlet and air - inlet passages 1, 2. The plug is secured in position by the cap C, which is connected to the neck by a bayonet-joint, and is locked by a peg or key inserted into recesses in the cap and neck. A float D, introduced into the bottle before the insertion of the valve &c., serves as a detector to show whether the bottle has been refilled by first exhausting the air, and then introducing liquid, as the exhaustion of the air permits liquid to enter the float, so that it sinks to the bottom. The arrangement of the passages 1, 2 and the valve 3 also prevent the introduction of liquid by means of a funnel, or by a gradual process of exhaustion. In the former case, the passage 2 becomes obstructed, so that the air cannot escape, and in the latter case, the liquid entering the passage 1 has a tendency to pass out with the issuing air through the passage 2. Two modified forms of plug, adapted to prevent tampering with the valve, are also described. The Provisional Specification also states that the float D may contain a colouring-matter, which will be discharged into the bottle on exhausting the contained air.
