I, CHARLES BISHOP, of 268, Annetta Crescent Essex Road, London, N. Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention relates to improvements in or connected with bottles, the object
being, by simple means to prevent the fraudulent re-filling of same.
According to my invention the lower portion of the neck of the bottle is furnished
with a loose plug which effectually prevents fresh liquid from being inserted after the
plug has been placed in position, while above the said plug
arrange a stop or dise
designed to be sprung into position (as hereinafter more fully described) and retained
a sufficient distance above the aforesaid plug for the purpose of preventing any
article or implement being passed down the neck of the bottle for the purpose of
mising this plug, while the inner periphery of the neck of the bottle is furnished
with a sufficient number of vertical channelled recesses to allow of the liquid contents
of the bottle passing the aforesaid stop or disc and flowing out of same.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now proceed to describe
Same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. I is a side elevation
of the upper portion of a bottle constructed according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of saule showing the plug in elevation.
Fig. 3 is a cross section on line x, x, of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a vertical section
taking approximately at right angles to Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the plug detached, Fig. 6 is a plan of the disc or
stop and Fig. 7 a central section of same.
According to my invention the neck of the bottle is suitably shaped and furnished
near the bottom with a circular flanged or recessed portion at forming a seating for
the plug p which is placed in position after the bottle has been filled, and which
effectually prevents further liquid being inserted.
In order to prevent the said plug being tampered with or raised by means of a bent
wire or the like I arrange above same a stop or disc d furnished centrally with a hole
or perforation within which are located two short rods or the like b, 61, of glass or
other suitable material having their ends, projecting a sufficient distance, while
arranged between them is a spring pad c of rubber, cork, or other suitable elastic
material. The neck of the bottle is furnished with two recesses, corresponding
to the projecting ends of the rods b, b', and arranged diametrically opposite each other,
so that upon pressing the disc or stop d into the neck of the bottle the rods b, b¹, are
forced into the hole or perforation in the said disc compressing the elastic pad c until
they come opposite the aforesaid recesses f,f, when they aro at once forced out by
the action of the elastic pad c, thereby retaining the disc or stop d in position and
preventing the removal of same.
The inner periphery of the neck of the bottle I provide with a sufficient number of
suitably shaped vertical grooved or chunnelled portions or recesses a, to allow of the
contents of the bottle passing the stop or disc d, the lower ends h of the recesses &
being slightly curved as shown for the purpose of preventing a wire or the like being
537

page_text: passed down one of the said slits or recesses 8 and forced under the plug p for the
purpose of enabling the bottle to be fraudulently re-filled. The bottle is designed to
be closed by a cork, stopper or the like k, (Fig. 1), in the ordinary manner while the
said bottle may be constructed of glass, earthenware, or other suitable material
according to requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. In bottles designed to prevent the fraudulent re-filling of same, a plug such
as p loosely resting upon a recessed portion or seating in combination with a disc or 1
stop such as d arranged above same, and suitable vertical channelled or recessed
portions such as 8; the whole combined and arranged substantially as herein described
and shown, and for the purposes specified.
2. In bottles designed to prevent the fraudulent re-filling of same, the use of a
stop or disc d furnished with projecting arms b, b1, having an elastic pad c arranged
between them, substantially as herein described and shown, and for the purposes
specified.
3. The improvements in or connected with bottles substantially as herein described
and shown, and for the purposes specified.
Dated this ɔrd day of June lovi.
