Improvements in Bottles.
I, ISAIAH HENRY TAYLOR, of, Number Four, Wrenwood Avenue, Govanstown,
in the County of Baltimore, State of Maryland, and United States of America,
Inventor, 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;-
--
This invention relates to an improvement in bottles and is especially adapted to
contain sauces, colognes, and other liquids which are used in small quantities and
are expelled from the bottle by shaking.
The object of the invention is to provide a bottle that is cheap, simple in con-
struction, and can be readily filled at first, but once having been filled and the
parts connected becomes practically non-refillable, owing to the cost and great
amount of time that would have to be consumed in filling.
Other features of the invention will be set forth in the description of the
accompanying drawing in which,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bottle, the neck being in section, showing
my improvement.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the top section of the neck of the bottle with the
stopper removed.
Similar numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views.
The figure, 1, designates a bottle of ordinary shape having a neck formed of
two sections; the lower section being designated by the figure, 2, and the upper
section by the figure, 3.
'
The lower section; 2, of the neck has its upper end bent inwardly and then
upwardly at, 4, to allow it to be fitted within the upper section, 3. The
section, 2, is also provided with an annular V-shaped groove, 5, within which the
lower end of the section, 3, rests.
The upper section, 3, of the bottle neck may be made of glass, porcelain, or
any other suitable material, and is provided. with a partition, G, which in this
instance is integral with the said section; 3. This partition, 6, has an aperture, 7,
through which the contents of the bottle may be expelled, and an upset annular
wall, S, around said aperture. This wall, 8, however, may be dispensed with and
the partition made the same thickness throughout. The lower end of the
section, 3, in this instance is V-shaped, to correspond with and fit into the
groove, 5, of the lower section, 2, and is held therein by cementing or other suit-
able means.
While I have shown the two sections of the bottle neck connected by having the
upper section fit over the lower section and resting in a V-shaped groove, it is
obvious they may be connected, in any other suitable manner.
A stopper, 9, of suitable material, is provided in the opening at the top of the
section, 3, the lower end of the said stopper resting on the wall, 8, and closing

page_text: the aperture, 7. Should any of the contents of the bottle escape or leak through
the small aperture, 7, it will be prevented from escaping through the neck above
the said aperture by the stopper, 9, which fits snugly within the neck.
The operation of filling and connecting the parts is as follows:
The two sections of the neck being separated the liquid is filled into the bottle
through the opening at the top of the lower section, 2, and when sufficiently
filled cement or other suitable adhesive material is applied to the contacting sur-
faces of the two sections which are then placed together and let stand until dry.
The stopper, 9, is then inserted in the opening at the top of section, 3, or the
stopper may be inserted before the parts are secured together. When it is
desired to use the contents of the bottle the stopper, 9, is removed and the liquid
expelled by a quick shake of the hand, as is usually done when using sauces and
other liquids where a small amount only is desired.
It will be seen that the two sections of the bottle neck are permanently secured
together, therefore, any attempt to refill the bottle would have to be made through
the small aperture, 7, which is so very small that it would make refilling imprac-
ticable, owing to the great amount of time that would be consumed by the
operation. Therefore, it will be seen that the bottle is practically non-refillable.
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. A bottle provided with a partition, 6, having an aperture, 7, through which
the contents may be expelled.
2. A bottle provided with a neck having a partition, 6, said partition being
provided with an aperture, 7, through, which the contents of the bottle may be
expelled.
3. A bottle provided with a neck having a partition, 6, integral therewith, said
partition being provided with an aperture, 7, through which the contents of the
bottle may be expelled.
4. A bottle having in combination a neck provided with a partition, 6, having
an aperture, 7, therein; and means to close the said aperture.
5. A bottle having in combination a neck provided with a partition, 6, having
an aperture, 7, therein; an annular wall, 8, around said aperture; and means
to close the said aperture.
6. A bottle having in combination a neck consisting of two sections, 2, and, 3;
the upper section, 3, being provided with a partition, 6, having an aperture, 7,
through which the contents of the bottle may be expelled.
7. A bottle having in combination a neck consisting of two sections, the upper
section being provided with a partition, 6, having an aperture, 7; and means to
close the said aperture.
8. A bottle having in combination a neck consisting of two sections, 2, and, 3;
the upper section, 3, being provided with a partition, 6, having an aperture, 7,
therein; and means to secure the said two sections together.
9. A bottle having in combination a neck consisting of two sections, 2, and, 3;
the upper section, 3, being provided with a partition, 6, having an aperture, 7,
therein; a stopper, 9;. and means to secure the said two sections together.
10. A bottle having in combination a neck consisting of two sections, 2, and, 3;
the lower section, 2, having its upper end bent inwardly and upwardly to fit
with the section, 3; a partition, 6, within the section, 3, said partition, 6,
being provided with an aperture, 7; and means to secure the said two sections
together.
11. A bottle having in combination a neck consisting of two sections, 2, and, 3;
the lower section, 2, having its upper end bent inwardly and upwardly to fit
within the upper section; a partition, 6, integral with the upper section, 3, and
provided with an aperture, 7; a stopper, 9, to close the said aperture, 7; and
means to secure the said two sections together.

page_text: 12. A bottle having in combination a neck consisting of two sections, 2, and, 3;
the lower section, 2, having its upper end bent inwardly and upwardly to fit
within the upper section, 3; a grooved shoulder, 5, within which the section, 3,
rests; a partition, 6, integral with the said section, 3, and provided with an
aperture, 7; a stopper, 9; and means to secure the said two sections together.
