PAUL'WILHELM RAEHSE, OF HAMBURG, GERMANY.

BOTTLE-STOPER-VARNISHING DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern RAnnsi-:, a citizen of Germany, residing at Hamburg, Hafenhaus,-Germany, have invented a new and useful Bottle-Stoppen ment is fulfilled in the apparatus according to the invention which comprises a closed fluid container provided with an immersion opening suited to the head of the bottle which is to be coated and a draining frame which for rapid manipulation is made rotatable. w

In'the accompanying drawings an example of a construction according to the inven tion is represented. Fig. 1 shows the apparates in cross section and Fig. 2 is a plan view showing segments of interchangeable alternate bottle holding-means upon the device.

The apparatus consists of a fluid 'container i which is connected by a passage is with a cup provided with an immersion open- .ing it, over which opening a funnel shaped draining frame .18 arranged. This frame comprises an under frame?) with a circular platform (1 on which a-funnel shaped surface a rotates on rollers c, the surface a is extended at the centre to form a draining fennel a On the surface a exchangeable Gil ,nlar rings f and g are arranged and are provided with holders 0 for the bottles. The holders 6 are adapted to the form of the bottles to be varnished; each holder consists of a trough with a forked projection in which the neck of a bottle is laid. The bottie-holders e are of difierent dimensions, so that different rings f or g maybe placed on the funnel-surfaces a according to the size 3. the bottles to be lacquered. The bottles are dipped into the immersion vessel It, and then placed in the bottle-holder for the drip ing 013'. See Fig. l. The rings for 9 may e loosely disposed on the funnel-surfaces a, or may be secured-thereto by means of tions such as labelling and packing.

pins or screws. In order to interchange the circular rings and 1 and the bottle holders and for the purpose of easily cleaning these parts and the inner suri'ace of the funnel, the latter can be provided at dili'erent places either with recesses through which pass suitable catches, screws or the like arranged on the outer surface of the rings f and and clamped to the outer surface of the funnel, or ol herwise suit ably secured.

The fluid container consists of a holder i which is connected by an inclined passage in with the cup containing the immersion opening h. It causes a uniform supply of the coating material to pass into the cup from the holder as the fluid is used up by the immersion of the heads of the bottles.

The action is as follows: Theeontainer z with the immersion cup connected to it and provided with the opening h is filled to a. certain height with the fluid coating material, so that the, heads of the bottles can be uniformly immersed. After a bottle has been dipped it is laid-on a holder 0. and the bottle next in order dipped and placed on its holder and the support a rotated. 'lhe dipped coatings of the heads of the bottles drain slowly during the rotational movement of the carrier a and as soon as all the holders have been lilled with the bottles, the first bottle which has been placed for draining is already dried and is removed and its place is taken by another bottle which has been dipped, so that there is a continuous removal of the drained and dried bottles which can be taken away for further opera- During this process the coating lluid llows from the containing vessel i into the immersion cup to make up for the consumption due to the immersion of the bottles.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be per formed, I declare that what I claim is 1. Apparatus for lacquering bottle closures, comprising a supporting member, an immersion vessel in the center of the supporting member and open in the upper side, a dripping frame mounted for rotation on the supportin Y member and having a centrally arrange funnel, said funnel being arranged to discharge into said immersion vessel, and bottle holding means on said dripping frame.

2. Apparatus for lacquering bottle closures, which consists of an immersion vessel above the entrance opening of which n horizontally rotatable dripping frame for the reception of the immelsed bottles is provided, and a ring reniovahly mounted on said frame and having bottle holding means.

3. Apparatus for lacquering bottle enclosures, Which consists of an immersion vessel above the entrance opening of which a 10 horizontally rotatable dripping frame for the reception of the immersed bottles is provided, and a circulation ring for the reception of the bottles, said ring being mounted on said frame.

In testimony whereof he afiixes his signature in presence of two Witnesses.
