BOTTLE CAPPING MACHINE. APPLICATION FILED JUNE 24, 1920.
Patented Aug. 10, 1920.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
BOTTLE-CAPPING MACHINE.
Application filed June 24.,
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD E. PHILLIPS, a citizenof the United States, residing Syracuse, in the county of Gnondaga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle- Capping Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in bottle-capping machines, and has for its object to provide a novel, simple and quickacting hand capping machine, which may be made at small expense, and wherein a detachable lever is employed, which may be readily and quickly adjusted for capping bottles of different height. And a further object is to provide novel resilient means for preventing the breakage of the bottles and injury to the working parts of the machine.
I attain these objects by the means set forth in the detailed description which follows, and as illustrated by the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a top-plan view of the complete machine. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same; showing by full and dotted lines the various operative movements of the capping lever. Fig. 3 is a rear-end elevation. 4: is a bottom plan View of the capping lever. And Fig. 5 is an enlarged side view of the lever; showing the flexing of the capping member during the operations.
In the drawing, the frame of the machine comprises a flat horizontal base 2, which may be made of woodor other suitable ma terial, and an L-shaped metal standard 3. The short arm 3 of the standard is prefer ably disposed beneath the base 2 and is rigidly secured thereto by a screw 3. The longer arm 3* of the standard preferably bears snugly against the end of the base, and then extends upwardly at right angles to the base. The arm 3 is provided with a plurality of parallel slots 3, which are preferably arranged one above the other, as best seen in Fig. 3. 4 represents the detachable capping lever, which is preferably somewhat longer than the base in order to afford suitable leverage.- To the top face of one end of the lever 4 is mounted a metal part 5, one end of which projects beyond the end of the lever and is bent upwardly into a hook or claw 5, which may be inserted through either of the slots 3 that corresponds to the height of a bottle (6) to be capped. The plate 5 is secured to the lever Specification of Letters Patent.

1920. Serial No. 391,268.
4.- in part by a screw 5, and in part by a bolt 7 which pierces the lever and the plate 5, and is held in place by a nut 7. The capping is accomplished by means of an inverted cup-like part 8, which depends from the bottom side of the lever a and is pierced by the bolt 7, the head 7 of the bolt preferably being arranged flush with the inner face of the closed end of the cup. Between the cup 8 and the bottom of the lever at is disposed a compressible or cushion rubber washer 9, which is also held in place by the bolt 7. IVhen the bolt 7 is tightened up, the closed end of the cup is drawn tightly against the washer 9, and the latter is intended to yield, as shown by the full and dotted lines in Fig. 5, whenever the cup is tilted in either direction during the capping operations. This resilient buffer 9 allows the cup 8 to suitably adjust itself to the mouth of a bottle, and permits the operator to exert the necessary pressure upon the lever 4, to properly-apply the cap 10, witl1- out unduly straining the cup, or breaking the necks of the bottles 6.
The operation of my improved hand capping device is as follows: If the lever i is detached, the operator places a bottle upon he base 2. He then takes the lever 4 and nserts the claw 5 through one of the slots 3 which appears at about the same level as the top of the bottle neck. He next tilts the free end of the leverupwardly ataslight angle, as shown by the full lines in Fig. 2, and at the same time inserts one of the caps 10 into the cup 8 and directly over the mouth of the bottle. The final operation consists of depressing the lever, as to the dotted position shown in Fig. 2, with sufficient force to clench the cap to the bottle.
Having thus described my i vention, what I claim is 1. In a hand capping machine, a frame comprising a base and a standard, said standard provid d with. aplurality of paral lel slots disposed one above the other, a detachable capping lever, having a hook at one end adapted to be inserted in the dilferent slots corresponding to the height of the bottles to be capped, a cap receiving and clenching member depending from the bottom side of the lever, and a cushion rubber washer disposed between said cup and said lever for allowing said cup to flex in different directions during the capping operations.
2. In a capping machine, a base, a standard rigidly secured to one end of the base and extending at right angles capped and movable in a vertical plane during the capping operations, and a capping cup resiliently secured to the bottom side of said lever and adapted to flex in different directions for preventing breakage of the bottles or the straining of said cup.
3. In a capping machine, a frame comprising a horizontal base an an upright standard rigidly connected together, said standard having a plurality of slots extending from' the middle toward the top end in a vertical tier, a detachable capping lever having a hook adapted to engage the difierent slots in a manner to allow said lever to be moved in a vertical plane during the capping operations, a cap receiving and clenching member pivoted to the underside of the lever near said standard, and cushion means disposed between said member and the lever whereby said member may adjust itself to the level of the mouth'or' a bottle during the capping operation.
In testimony whereof I EDWARD afiix my signature. E. PHILLIPS.
