DAVID MUELLEE., or NEw Yoan, N. Y.; AssreNon ro HIMsELE AND FRANZ WAGNER, or` SAME PLAGE.
LettersrPatent No. 113,526, dated April 4, 1.871.4
Th Schedule reerred'to in these Letters ,Patent and-.making part: of the same.
g I, DAVID MELLEn,of the city, count-y, and State of New York, Ahave invented certain V'new and useful ,Improvementsv in' Machines for Corking Bottles, of
which `the following is a specification.
This invention comprises', first, the peculiar arrange- I ment and combination of the cork-plunger, a crank and pitman, and a'balance-wheel with a connter-balgance, by which means the cork-plunger-is operated with a progressive. power in harmony with proceeding of driving home the cork, while by the said means the plunger vis caused to stop in raised position, ready for the succeedingoperation', out of the way of the operartors fingers in placing the cork, so that the operator is relieved 'from setting and raising the plunger, and does not require the additional power for final driving homethe cork and' particular care for his fingers in setting the cork.
It comprises, secondly,'the peculiar manner of constructing and combining the cork-needle, the frame,
and parts for 'operating the bottle, by which means said needle remains attached, and said parts are produced :and made properly operative and durable for less expense than 'with' the construction now used in thosemachines? l In the annexed drawing- Figure 1 represents a front elevation of the machine constructed according to my invention, and shown in position when the bottlev has beenplaced in the machine to receive its cork. Y
4 Figure 2 is a Yvertical central section of the same.
' Figure 3 is a., detached vertical section of the corkguide, or bush and plunger, shown relative with vthe neck of a bottle in position when the cork has been placed or driven home, and shown on a larger scale; than in the former views, to exhibit the same clearly.
vD D' pass, and theyhave screw-threads and nuts on their ends to secure said table and cross-piece in proper manner together.
. The top ends of the legs B B are formed with dovetail-shaped hat parts for locking them in corresponding projections or lugs on the under side` ofthe table A.
0n the inside of each rod, D,- is attached a vertical bar, H, between whichth'e bottle-support C is guided, the latter having for that purpose slotted ends easil passing up or down on said/bars H. j c
Io hold the upper ends of' .said bars H H I employ the horizontal couplings J J, which have each on one end an opening to fit over the bar D, and a set-screw,
K, to secure said end to the rod D permanently. The other 4end of each oi'I said couplings has an opening allowing the bar H to pass. The `lower ends of the bars H H are loosely fitted in the bed or table A.
' Both of said bars have several pin-holes along their length, in which the pins I I are iitted, upon which the support G rests, so that, by setting said pins in holes more or less above the table, 4the support C is ready adjusted to suit the length of thel desired bottle to be operated upon. p l
The har H to the left hand remains stationary, and has a shoulder, c,- stopping upon the table.-
The bar H, to the right, rests upon the end of the foot-lever M, which has its fulcrum stationed in lugs cast on the under side of the table; and the said bar can be raised and lowered, and with it the end of' the support resting on its pin I, by means ofthe said footlever M, by which means the corked bottle is lowered from the cork-guide and the succeeding bottle to be corked is adjusted to the guide.
' In order to provide'an even bearing on the bottom ofthe bottle while receiving its cork, I make the support C with a large circular centralopening, N, in j which Ipivot a small p1atform,"0, made of wood or other suitable material to rest the bottle upon, and
.its pivot P is passed'in the direction across the support. n
The cork-guide F is secured in the cross-piece E by means of a set-screw, b, so that it 'maybe readily exchanged with one of a different bore, suitablel for a ditlerent-sized neck of bottle.
Q represents the cork-needle. It is hinged to the Aguide F in manner to be easily detachable.
It has a groove, g, along itsside bearingagainst the neck of the bottle, to permit the air and surplus coutents of the bottle to escape while the cork is driven home.
The guide F is made a little smaller than the neck of the bottle, or sufficiently small in its here tol prowhich is tted'tc slide therein, will meet the bore of thesaid guide E when slided down.4
Forthe purpose of operating, raising and lowering the plunger G, employ4 a horizontal shaft, R, which hasa ccank,`S, upon its end; and on vthe plunger-rod I have a stud, V, located between the guides of said rod, upon which stud a pitman, is fitted, connecting'said stud with the pin of the crank S, upon which the opposite end 4of said pitman is fitted; and to ro- 'tate the shaft R I employ upon its end, opposite to that :to which the crank' S fissecured, Va cog-wheel, R',
and employ a lhand-wheel, T, provided with a pinion,
. T', on its hub, and provided with a handle, W, on the 4 rim of it; andhave lsaid hand-wlieel fitted upon aV stud ance-weight, X, on that part of its rim which isv downward when the crank S and plunger G are in raised position, as shown in iig. 1. By means of taking hold of the handle W and turning the hand-WheelT, the shaft R is rotated and the plunger G forced down and,- hy means of the counter-balance, said plunger is raised and stops in raised position, ready for the successive operation of corki'ng.
The bearing of the shaft It is cast on the cross-piece E, as shown. 'l
The guide F has its 'bottom edge or face meeting the neck 'of the bottle made concave, as shown in iig. 3, for the ypurpose of adjusting theneck of the bottle to the' bore of the guide with facility and in a readyl manner.
When the operator commences corking he places the bottle on the vplatform 0. With the pressure of his Y ready for the next bet-tl@- hand he takes hold of thehandle V; with'his left hand he places the cork in the top of the guide F. By turning the wheel T the plu-nger G is forced down, forcing the cork in the neck ofthe bottle. By means of the balance X the plunger is raised and remains one to he corked, and proceeds as described.
It will be observed, the needle Q being hinged to the guide F, itrequires no extra laboriu placing the same.
