do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The bottle is manufactured to ensure a virgin bottle. Its purpose being after
once filled and corked, or stopped to break an indicator, or portion of the bottle
in a well of the neck of the bottle which receives the cork when pressed in. The
bottle has a neck, or tube or tubes running from the body of the bottle outside
the well nearly to the top of the neck. An opening or openings are made, the
liquid flows from the outer neck, or tubes through the top of the well, and then
out of the mouth of the bottle when the cork is pressed in. The action being
when the bottle is filled and corked, the cork covers the opening or openings,
between the neck and the well. The well being used to receive the cork and the
broken indicator when the cork or stopper is pressed in, or down, the cork being
pressed down breaking the indicator. When the cork or stopper is pressed down
it breaks the indicator or indicators. The first indicator which is as a tube or glass
piece in the neck of the bottle, away from the opening in the neck of the bottle,
which the liquid flows through, to the nouth of the bottle; when the bottle and
contents are in use. The bottle when being corked, or stopped, the indicator
being nearer the mouth of the bottle than the length of the cork being used; the
corking breaks the first indicator, and it falls into the well, the cork keeping
the broken portion of the bottle in the well. When requiring the contents of the
bottle, the cork or stopper is pressed into the well, and breaks the other portion or
portions of the bottle, and reuders the bottle useless for future use. If the cork is
extracted, the broken portion of the glass allows the contents to mix with it and
the contents become valueless.

FREDERICK ALFRED YOUNG 17, Estelle Road Gospel Oak Middlesex Clerk
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, reference being also had to the accompanying drawing which
shows a sectional elevation of my improved bottle :-
The object of my invention is to produce a bottle which when once filled and
corked or stoppered will, on the cork or stopper C being pressed therein in the act
of uncorking or unstoppering, cause an indicator D or indicators situated in a
well A provided for the reception of the cork or stopper in the mouth of the
bottle, to be broken, thereby permitting the contents to be drawn off and the
bottle rendered useless for refilling. A similar indicator D' situated higher up in
the well is also broken during the corking or stoppering.

page_text: In addition to the well or receptacle A the bottle neck is formed with one or
more tubes or passages B the outlet being normally closed by the cork or stopper C.
Upon the latter being inserted in the act of corking, the top indicator D' is broken
and falls into the well A; and, upon the cork or stopper being further pressed
downwards in the act of opening the bottle when withdrawing the contents it is
caused to enter the well A and in so doing break the indicator or indicators D
which are blown or otherwise formed in the neck of the bottle, the indicators and
cork or stopper falling to the bottom of the well. When an attempt is made to
extract the cork, the broken indicators will either mix with the contents of the
bottle, which are thereby rendered valueless, or the neck of the bottle will break
away at D or D'. The well A may be vented through the openings E or by
means of the indicators.
The neck of the bottle as also the indicator or indicators can be varied in shape
and size to suit different requirements. I do not bind myself to the particular
description given or illustration shown.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
A bottle provided with a well or receptacle A. in combination with indicators D
and passage or tube B substantially as set forth and shewn and for the purposes
specified.
