Refilled.
HENRY WILLIAM BARTON, 91, Grove Park Road, South Tottenham, Middlesex,
Oil, Colour and General Store Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
I describe my invention as being improvements in bottles and like receptacles
to prevent them being refilled to which my method is applied without proper
apparatus for refilling, that is to say in the neck of the bottle or vessel will be a
ball of glass or other material, the neck shall be constructed at the bottom to form
a cup to receive such ball, the neck of the bottle or other receptable shall have
one or more hollows to receive such ball to allow the contents to pass out, the
bottle being placed in an upright position the ball falling to the cup at
bottom will form a check to the reentry of fluids dust and the like while the
bottle is in any form of use.

Improvements in Bottles and like Receptacles to Prevent them being
Refilled.
HENRY WILLIAM BARTON, 48, Stratford Row, Plaistow, E., late 91, Grove Park
Road, South Tottenham, Middlesex, Oil, Color and General Store Manager, 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;
-
I describe my invention as being improvements in bottles, and like receptacles
to prevent them being refilled to which my method is applied without proper
apparatus for refilling, that is to say in the neck of the bottle or vessel will be a
ball of glass or other material, the neck shall be constructed at the bottom to form
a cup to receive such ball, the neck of the bottle or other receptable shall have
one or more hollows to receive such ball to allow the contents to pass out, the
bottle being placed in an upright position the ball falling to the cup at the
bottom will form a check to the re-entry of fluids dust, and the like while the
bottle is in any form of use.
For purposes of illustration I will now refer to the annexed drawing in which
Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation shewing my invention.

page_text: The neck of the bottle is shaped as shewn and the ball a rests upon the
seating c, when the bottle is upright. When it is required to remove the con-
tents from the bottle,, the cork or other means of sealing e is removed, and by
tilting the bottle, the ball a will fall into the cavity d, and thus allow the con-
tents to be removed. By this arrangement it will be seen, that it will be difficult
to refill the bottle unless special apparatus is employed there for, as the ball a
will always tend, when the bottle is at or about a vertical position, to fall into the
seating c, and so prevent it, being refilled. The shape of the neck and cavity b
are so arranged as to cause the ball to fall into the seating c when the bottle is
not in a horizontal position.
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 of the class herein described the combined construction and
arrangement, substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the pur-
pose set forth.
2. In bottles of the class herein described a chamber formed in the neck of the
bottle for the purpose of carrying a ball said ball having a seating upon which
it engages for the purpose of preventing the refilling of the bottle. A cavity or
recess for the reception of said bottle when it is required to pour the contents
of the bottle, substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the purpose
set forth.
