The invention relates to a bottle holder for bottle soaking machines in which the Bottles placed in the bottle holder by means of endless chains through the soft water be passed through. With the new bottle cage, it becomes the bottle neck the gripping part through a cut-out corresponding to the width of the bottle neck, downward sloping sheet formed;

ίο according to the 'new arrangement can on the one hand the bottles can be easily removed from the holders by hand, on the other hand the bottles will fall out of the holders when the conveyor chains go down certainly prevented. According to the invention, the bottom as well as the the belly of the bottle, also formed by a suitably cut sheet metal Part of the bottle holder each one lying in line with the cutout of the upper plate Slot open. These slots allow the passage of arms, of which the one when the empty bottles are immersed in the water they swim away Prevent from the holders while the others lift the bottles out of their own accord effect from the holders. The sheet metal forming the bottom of the bottle holder is included Bent upwards a little at an angle, around the bottle when the bottle holders are upright to give a backward inclined position, which prevents it from falling out will.

On the drawings shows:

Fig. Ι a vertical cross section through an embodiment of the bottle holder with the (broken) tray for the bottles.

Fig. 2 and 3 show ■ in. Front view and Plan several in a row united bottle holder with at both ends of the Series of attacking endless chains.

Fig. 4 shows a side view of the whole machine.

In FIG. 5, the front part of FIG. 4 is shown enlarged for the purpose of clarifying the mode of operation the unloader.

In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the holding plates 1, 2 and bases 3 of the bottle holders combined in a row are each formed by a continuous, suitably cut sheet metal strip. The cutouts that grasp the bottle necks in the upper holding plate 1, which is directed obliquely downwards from the fastening point, are of the same width over their entire length, preferably so wide that when the chain ascends (see a, FIG. 4) the bottle neck at the point where its surface comes closest to that of an obtuse-angled cone, rests against the cut-out edges of the metal sheet 1. In the position according to a (Fig. 4), the interaction of the inclined cut-out edges with the inclined neck surface resting against them prevents the bottle from falling out of the holder.

Claims (3)

following the effect of their own weight with certainty prevented. The retaining plate ι could instead of the fastening point be bent obliquely downward from the bottle center plane. At ά in Fig. 4 is the point of introduction of the bottles. These are pushed with the necks down from below into the cutouts of the metal sheets 2 and sit with their bulbous extensions on the metal sheets i, the slots of which are not much wider than the diameter of the bottle necks. It is true that when the empty bottles are immersed in the water (see b, b, b, FIG usually just as reliably prevented as the bottles from falling out in the position, but especially in the event that differently shaped bottles are to be cleaned by means of one and the same machine, according to the invention, a special device should be provided which does this The bottles are prevented from swimming out with certainty .. For this purpose, rods 11 are arranged at b which, when the machine is running, reach through the slots in the holding plates 1 and the slots 8 (FIG. 3) provided in the plates 2 and bottoms 3 and join put on the bottle bellies. The cleaned bottles can be removed from the holders either by hand at c (Fig. 4 and 5) or an automatic lifting device can be provided as shown in the drawing, consisting of arms 9, which when the cleaned bottles go down through the in Reach through slots 8 (Fig. 3) recessed in the bottoms 3, push against the rear part of the bottom of the bottles and first tilt them forward and then lift them out of the holding plate 2, after which the bottles are placed in inclined channels 10 (see also Fig. 2 ) from which they can be further promoted in any way. '.,' ■ Patent claims: 1. Bottle holder for bottle soaking machines with endless conveyor chain, the holds the bottles securely in the upright and inverted position, characterized in that that a plate (1) arranged at the level of the bottle necks with slots open to the front to pass through the bottle necks are provided and bent downwards at an angle in such a way that that in the case of downward necks, due to the interaction of the oblique standing Schlitzrändcr and the inclined neck surfaces adjoining them a stepping out the necks from the slots are prevented with certainty by the effect of their own weight. 2. Bottle holder according to claim 1, characterized in that the the bottom the sheet metal (3) forming the bottle holder is bent up a little at an angle, such that when the bottle holder is upright, the bottles are due to the effect of the weight certainly lie against the rear wall of the bottle holder. 3. Bottle holder according to claim 1, characterized in that the frame for receiving the lower part of the bottle forming parts (2, 3) in the alignment of the Slits of the upper plate (1) have horizontal slots through which ejector arms (9) for unloading the bottles and grippers (11) that are used during. Immersion of the Place empty bottles in the water against the bottle belly and step through . can. 1 sheet of drawings.
