Bottle lock

Abstract

A device, consisting of a plurality of plate, disk, ball, gate or other types of valves, or switches, or apertures, or like passageways; all grouped, or stacked or ganged in series to form a single working unit, and configurable in such a manner that each acts as a physical block or nonconductive environment for any chosen material, sound, light, or other transmittable or transportable media, until manipulated into an indexed position. When all parts of the device are manipulated into the proper position, as determined by the indexing marks or labels, this invention will conduct or permit passage or transmission of a given medium.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A bottle lock, comprising: 
 a. a lid or stopper, adaptable to insert or otherwise attach to the open end of a bottle or jar or similar container;    b. the lid or stopper having a hole passing through it, located at a given point somewhere between the central axis and the outer edge, and serving as an aperture or passage between the interior and exterior of the container;    c. the lid or stopper having an indexing mark somewhere on it's outer edge in closest proximity to the hole or aperture;    d. the lid or stopper having a pin attached to the center of the top surface, extending away from the lid or stopper some distance along the central axis of the lid or stopper    
     
     
         2 . the lid or stopper as in  1 , with any number of disks stacked atop it's upper surface; 
 a. each disk having a hole through it's central axis, to accommodate the pin described in  1 c, allowing the disk to rotate around the fixed pin;    b. each disk having an additional hole passing through it, located somewhere between it's center point and it's outer edge, positioned so that it will line up with the hole or aperture in  1 b;    c. each disk marked or labeled on it's outer edge in closest proximity to the hole in the disk;    d. each disk marked or labeled along it's entire outer edge with any number of indications each different and distinctive;    
     
     
         3 . a screen or baffle; 
 a. attached to the end of the pin passing through the central axis of the disks;    b. the screen or baffle securing the disks to the fixed part of the device, while allowing the disks to rotate while without losing contact with each other or with the upper surface of the lid or stopper;    c. the screen or baffle allowing passage of the contents of the jar or bottle, while denying visual and physical access to the interior of the device from the outside.
