CLASS 64: Dispensing equipment.

Patented in the German Empire on July 18, 1884.

The wire used to tie around the bottle corks is tied around the bottles by two jaws AA, which sit on the front end of a sliding shaft B. A pair of claws C are used to keep the leading end of the wire able to grip the bottle; a pair of scissors D is used to cut the wire after it is tied around the bottle. Coils E are attached to the sliding shaft and carry the wire with which the bottles are to be wrapped.

The reels E, which carry the wire ready for use, are all attached to the rear end of the sliding shaft B ■ . The wire is passed from here through tubes b made in the shaft and fed to the back end at the front end of the machine.

One must use three wires on this machine, with one wire over the top the stopper and the other two are placed around the neck of the bottle while all be united and intertwined on two opposite sides of the bottle. Preferably However, I apply four wires to two wires up over the cork stopper and each to be able to put one on one side of the bottle neck.

From the coils E , the four wires lead through the tubes b, which extend through the entire length of the shaft B and each carry a wire, so that the wires cannot become entangled with one another. Of the. At the front end of the tubular shaft, the wires xx * x ² x ^s are guided to the front ends of the jaws A through suitable guides.

The machine is driven by a pulley F on the drive shaft F ¹ , on which a bevel gear F ^ sits, which is in engagement with the drive G on the shaft G ^1. This shaft G ^{1 also} carries a curve wheel G ² and a drive G ³ . The curve wheel is used to communicate the required longitudinal movement to the sliding shaft B , while the wheel G ³ causes the shaft to rotate by means of the drives H and B ¹ . The drive B ¹ and the shaft B are connected to each other by a key and nut.

The curve G ² drives the shaft B and thus the jaws A forwards and backwards, once each time the curve is rotated. The curve is in engagement with the disk i of the lever I and moves both to the side according to the lateral deviation of the curve groove. The upper end of this lever I is connected by a link 7 ¹ to the sliding sleeve U ^{2 of} the shaft B and the lower end of the lever is connected to the vertical guides k of the frame K by a vertically adjustable pivot pin i ¹ . In this way the rotation pin i ¹ can be adjusted vertically, a suitable slot in the lever I making this adjustment possible, so that the upper end of the lever can be adjusted and the sliding shaft B can be given a longer or shorter movement as required. The sleeve B ² to which the connecting rod I ^{1 is} attached allows the shaft B to rotate within it; it is made of two parts, which are one

include annular collar B ³ , which is attached to the shaft B. As soon as the sleeve B ^{2 is moved} by the lever / lengthways, the collar B ³ and thus the shaft B are moved accordingly, while the shaft can also rotate in the sleeve or claw B ¹ . A guide piece b ² protrudes downward from the lower side of the sleeve B ² and engages with the guide k ¹ so that the sleeve or claw B ² cannot rotate on the shaft B.

The shaft B is mounted in the hub housings K ¹ , which are attached to the upper side of the table or frame K. A pair of claws C hold the wire when it is first passed forward through the jaws A. These claws have a rotating plate c attached to the rear side thereof. A pivot c ¹ , which is attached to the front arm or stand K ² , protrudes outwards and forwards from the arm or stand and goes through a suitable opening in the pivot plate c, so that thereby a pivot point or a support for the Claws C is formed. The pivot c ¹ is slightly curved so that the front end of the claws can swing inwards or outwards, depending on the action of the claws mentioned.

These claws are opened by a spring c ² and closed by the eccentric C \ the connecting ^{rod C 2} , the eccentric bracket C ³ and the eccentric C *. The latter is arranged on the front of the shaft G ¹ and moves within the eccentric frame C ³ , which it notifies of a rapid movement up or down and which it finally holds up or down after ¹ movement until the shaft G ¹ rotates has accomplished.

The eccentric C ¹ is placed between the handles or arms of the claws C , approximates the shape of an ellipse, and is dimensioned in such a way that the jaws of the claws are closed when the large axis is horizontal between the arms of the claws and open when turned . The jaws of the claws are closed on the wires which then lie between them.

The connecting ^{rod C 2} connects the eccentric bracket C ³ to the eccentric C ^J , so that the movements of the latter and its claws C are caused by the eccentric C ⁴ . In this way, the claws C are opened and closed ^{once for each revolution of the shaft G 1.}

As already indicated, the movements for opening and closing the claws C take place quickly and the claws are opened respectively for a long time. held closed until the shaft G ^{1 has made} its full rotation. It is necessary that the claws C (as soon as they close on the wires and the wire is tightened around the neck of the bottle) fit tightly around the bottles; for this purpose the claws are ^{loosely arranged on the support pin c 1} and can be on the same swing a little to the side A spring bar C ⁵ , one end of which is attached to the frame or arm K ² , has the other end free, which goes almost or completely parallel with the inner surface of the claws and rests against a pin c ³ , which is attached to the claws. The whole is arranged in such a way that the spring rod C ^s throws the claw jaws back against the bottle, but allows them to move outwards with a yielding pressure of the jaws.

The jaws A, which feed the wires and they are round! braid around the bottle neck, are rotatably arranged around the head piece JB ^{4 of} the shaft B at α. The rear ends of the cheek pieces have a slices \ which are so mounted in the same, the peripheries of the discs of the DAF cheek pieces according to protrude inwardly ..

The sliding shaft B also has on its front end the fork-shaped head piece B ⁱ , on which the jaws A are rotatably arranged, and a sliding head B ⁵ with inclined, wedge-shaped sides, against which the disks a ¹ press as soon as the shaft is full Limit of their movement is turned back. These disks go up these sloping or sloping sides and compress the front ends of the jaws on the wires that lie between the jaws.

The sliding head B ⁵ is located on the shaft B close behind the attached head piece B * , but far enough away from it to allow the sliding of B ⁵ on the shaft by 25 to 50 mm fore and aft.

A rod B ^& with a spiral spring b ^s is mounted at b ^l and b ⁵ and runs parallel to the shaft B. The bearings i> ⁴ b ⁵ are respectively. attached to the fixed head B * and to the sliding head B ⁶ ; ^{the rod jB 6 is} firmly connected to one of these bearings, while it can slide in the other bearing. The purpose of the spring b ³ is to push the parts B 1 and B ^s apart from one another, but at the same time to permit the piece B ⁵ to move towards the fixed head piece, as the action of the machine demands. A resilient slack hook A ¹ is rotatably arranged on a projection on the lower side of the slide JB ⁵ so that it can fall into a suitable recess in the shaft B when the slide head has reached the end of its forward movement. This

Catching of the sliding head on shaft B when it is driven forward between the disks a ¹ to close the jaws. close, keeps them firmly closed on the wires until the slack hook A ^{1 is} released and the spring b ^{3 can} drive the sliding head B ^{5 back} from the fixed head piece. A downwardly protruding lever ³ , which is attached to the sleeping hook A ¹ , has a spring a \ which constantly brings the sleeping hook into engagement with its recess in the shaft B.

· ■■ An adjustable stop Ä ^s is attached to the table or frame K to touch the lower end of the lever A * and release or catch its sleeping hook A ^z just before the forward thrust of the sliding shaft B is complete. ■

Immediately after this movement of the machine, the bottle to be tied is brought from below between the jaws Ä and the wires are then drawn over and around the bottle head.

If the shaft is now driven back, the adjustable stop B ¹ is touched by the backward movement of the head piece B ⁵ and stops the same while the shaft B moves further back. This backward movement of the shaft lasts until the sleeping hook A ¹ falls into the recess on shaft B. In this way, the jaws A are closed and kept closed until the stop A ³ releases them on the next forward movement.

While the jaws are closed in this way, shaft B and its jaws A are rotated to braid the wires on the bottle. The two side wires, that is, those which go around the sides of the neck of the bottle, are passed through guides a ^s on the inner sides of the jaws A and near their front ends so that they are in such a position that the neck of the bottle is easily between them can be brought.

After the wires are completely braided on the bottle, they are cut approximately in the middle of the twist by a pair of scissors D attached to the inner surface of the arm K ² , these scissors through an eccentric L ¹ on the shaft G ¹ and the connecting rod L ^{2 are} moved.

The machine is started and stopped with the aid of a claw device. It is necessary to stop the same when the jaws A are in a horizontal position, in order to bring them, as they move forward, into a position suitable for the bottle to be brought in.

For this purpose it is necessary to be able to stop the rotation of the shaft B immediately. In addition. For this purpose, a resilient case M is attached to the frame of the machine, the; with a stop m. on the wheel H engages, sq that every back material of the machine is picked up as soon as the stop m hits the trap, M :; at this very moment someone hears. Rotation of shaft B on.

The mechanism of the machine is started, so as mentioned by a Klauemrorrichtang on the shaft G ¹ , and stopped by a. Step device N is set in function by the type of machine, is ..

This step device is rotatably mounted in one of the front mechanical feet, and can be conveniently used by the worker. to the. Feet be depressed when the same person sits in front of the machine or stands to put the bottles in to hold the machine.

A spring η pulls the footboard back up and a rod N " ¹ connects the footboard N to the claw lever N ² _f which is rotatably mounted in the machine frame. This lever engages with the claw spring and is directed at an angle, that the protruding head of the pin n ^{1 can} slide on it and bring the claw pin into contact with the claw device or the indentations 2V ^{4 made} in the surface of the gear G. When this is done, the wheel G rotates loosely on the Shaft G 'and the machine is out of function; but as soon as the footboard N is depressed, the inclined end of the lever N ^{2 is} pulled out behind the pin n ¹ and the same springs immediately into the recesses of the claw device IV ^4. The wheel G is on this Coupled with the claw head N ³ , which sits on the shaft G ^1. The movement mechanism of the machine is thereby set in function and remains active until step N is released is level, the inclined end of the lever IV ^{2 occurs} again behind the head of the claw pin n ^J and thereby releases the coupling between N ³ and 2V ^4.
