The improved bottle washing machine comprises in general,mechanism for urging bottles of various shapes and sizes in succession througlrthe machine, other mechanism for. automatically and thoroughly washing the exterio'rsof the successive bottles during their passage through the machine, and other mechanism tor automatically and effectively cleansing the interiors of the successive bottles'as they. are being transported through the Washer. These various mechanisms are supported by and substantially housed" Withina combined main frame and casing 2, and are driven by means oflpower derived from any snitable'source, applied to a main'horlzontal actuating-shaft l7 mounted inbearings supported by the casing'2.
The bottle transporting and manipulating mechanism compri'sesa longitudinally movable h'orizontal endless conveyer 3 adapted to receive'the unwashed bottles 11 and to urge them past the bottle exterior washing device, a transversely movable horizontal endless conveyor l eoo perable withthe con veyer 3 to manipulate the bottles 11 during externalcleanin'g, a transverse series of tilt able bottle inverting chutes'G adapted to receive the partially washed bottles 11 from the conveyer a'transver-se-series of tiltable bottle holders 7 adapted to receive the inverted bottles 11 from the chutes 6,.a transverse series'of stationary inclined guides 12 for receivingv the Washed bottlesll from the holders 7, and-a .tran-sverse series of movable bottle righting-shoes 9 adapted to receive the clean bottles 11 from the guides 12 and to deliver themdn uprightvposition upon a final receiving table 10. 'The endless conveyor. 3 is operable to'urge the successive bottles 11 forward beneath the exterior washing device, the conveyor 3 comprising a series of parallel horizontal transverse angle bars forming flights secured to and movable by endless bands, between stationary parallel confining walls 62 extending longitudinally of the stretches of the endless bands. The moving flights on the endless bands are adapted to advance the bottles 11, neck foremost, toward and beneath the revolving scrubbing brush 5 and from thence toward the inverting chutes 6. The conveyer automatically functions to rotate the bottles 11 about their own longitudinal axes during their advancement past the brush 5.
The tiltable bottle inverting chutes 6 are pivotally supported upon a transverse pivot shaft in longitudinal alinement with the passages between the guide'walls of the conveyer 3, and are swingable about the axis of the shaft 35 by means of a bell crank 33. The inverting chutes 6 are formed by a common base to which is secured a series of parallel upright walls the lower ends (31 of which are bent laterally to, engage and check the downward movement of the bottles 11 along the base. One arm of the bell crank 33 is pivotally connected with an end of the chute actuating lever 29 by'means of a link 32, while the other bell crank arm is pivotally connected with an elongated connecting member 23. The chute actuating 'lever 29 has its medial portion pivotally associated with a shaft 37 mounted in the stationary casing 2, and has its rear end provided with a roller cooperable with a chute tilting cam 30 carried by a revolving transverse cam shaft 15 supported in hearings in the casing 2. a The revoluble or tiltable bottle holders 7 are pivotally supported upon a transverse pivot bar 36 with their axes movable in the longitudinal paths of travel of the bottlesll, and are oscillatable about the axis of the bar 36 by means of an arm 31. The swinging extremity of the arm 31 carries a roller 34 which engages a .slot formed in the forward swinging extremity of the holder operating lever 13. The medial portion of the lever 13 isvpivoted upon the shaft 37 while the rear swinging end of the lever is provided with a roller cooperable with a holder tilting cam '28 carried by the revolving cam shaft 15.
The stationary inclined guides 12 are located in the planes of travel of the advancing bottles 11 below the holders 7 and are adapted to direct the bottles upon the righting shoes 9. The shoes 9 are carried by swing able arms 22 carried by a pivot- 24 which is movable by means of an arm 27. The swinging extremity of the arm 27 is pivotally connected with the lower extremity of the connecting member 23 the upper extremity of which is associated with the bell crank 33 as previously described. lVhile the final receivbottle transporting and manipulating mecha nism, it will be obvious that this mechanism is automatically operable from the revolving cam shaft 15. The actuatin power is delivered to the cam shaft 15 irom the main power shaft 17 through a worm 16 coacting with the worm wheel 14 secured to one end of the cam shaft 15. The worm gearing thus provided causes a considerable reduction in speed between the shafts 17, 15, with the result that the cams 28, 3O revolve slowly and periodically perform their intended functions.
The mechanism for automatically washing the bottle exteriors, as the bottles 11 are transported in series by the eonveyer'3, comprisesa rapidly revolving cylindrical scrubbing brush 5 extending transversely across the top of the machine in a well known a manner. The brush 5 is driven from the main drive shaft 17 through bevel gearing 25 and a chain drive 26, shown in Fig; 3. The periphery of the rapidly revolving brush 5 is engageable with all portions of thebottles 11 as they are moved longitudinally beneath the brush by the conveyer 3 and are simultaneously rotated about their own axes, by the conveyert. V
The mechanism for automatically cleansing the interiors of the'inverted bottles 11 while positioned in the holders '7, comprises a series of vertically reciprocable spray nozzles 8, and mechanism 20 for automatically delivering'cleansing fluid to the interiors of the inverted bottles through the nozzles 8. This automatic bottle interior cleansing V mechanism is of well known construction as shown in Patent l lo. 1,182,597, granted May 9, 1916, and forms no part of the present invention except in combination with the bottle manipulating mechanism. The nozzles 8 are guided for vertical and simultaneous reciprocation, by means of at carrier 21 slidably supported in stationary.
in motion by means of'power applied to the main driving shaft 17. The unwashedbOtties are then delivered in, horizontal position and in succession to the transporting conveyor 3, the successive bottles being,
urged forwardbetween-the walls 62 toward the rapidly revolving brush 5. As the horizontally disposed bottles 11 engage the transverse conveyer 4 they are spun about their own axes thereby permitting the brush 5 tothoroughly scrub the exterior surfaces of the advancing bottles. The partially washed bottles. 11 are eventually delivered in succession over the forward end of the conveyor 3 and upon the inclined inverting chutes 6 down which they slide and assume positions between the walls (30, and upon the lower ends 61 thereof, as indicated in When the bottles have been thus positioned in the chutes 6, the revolving. cam 30 automatically engages the rear roller bearing end of the'lever 29 and tilts the chutes 6 about the pivot shaft 37 to vertical positions as indicated in Fig. 2. During forward tilting of the chutes 6, the bottles 11 are automaticallydropped in inverted position into the adjacent holders 7, while the nozzles 8 are withdrawn, after which the empty chutes 6 are automatically returned to normal inclined position preparatoryto receiving subsequent-bottles 11 delivered from the conveyer 3. 7
After the bottles 11 have been inverted and positioned in the holders 7 as shown in Fig. 3, the nozzles 8 are automatically elevated through the holders 7 and through the necks of the bottles and cleansing. fluid is simultaneously autoniatically delivered against all portions ofthe interiors of the bottles to thoroughly wash and rinse the internal bottle, surfaces. Thev nozzles 8 are preferably moved upwardly a fixed distance, and the bottles 11 being washed, are relatively short, the nozzles 8 automatically lift I the bottles upwardly away from their supports during internal washing. After thorough injection of cleansing fluid, the nozzles S are auton'iatically retracted causing the bottles 11 to again rest within the holders '4'. When the nozzles 8 have been completely withdrawn from the bottles and the holders 7, and the cleansing fluid has drained from the washed bottles, the revolving cam becomes effective by virtue of engagement with the lever 13 as indicated in, Fig. l, to tilt or revolve the holders 7 about the axis of the pivot bar Upon sufiicient tilting of the holders 7, the clean bottles 11 eventually slide downwardly over the stationary guides 12 and upon the shoes S) as illustrated in Fig. 4, the bottoms of the bottles resting against the curved rear edge of the receiving table 10. The empty bottle holders 7 are subsequently automatically returned to normal vertical position motion of the chutes 6 to like position. In this manner, the successive bottles 11 are automatically and gently conducted through the washer and are effectively cleaned-during normal operation of the various mechanisms.
While the construction and operation of various mechanisms for actuating the bottle transporting and manipulating devices have been described in detail, it will be. obvious that tnese mechanisms are capable of considerable modification in structure without departin from the scope of the present invention; The improved machine is capable of effectively cleaning" bottles of various shapes. and sizes, and the bottles 11 being simultaneously treated need not be of uniform shape or size. The machine is extremely campa-ct when compared with prior devices of similar capacity, and is entirely automatic in its operation. The various ele ments of the structure are relatively simple, readily adjustable to effectively perform lil) their functions, and conveniently accessible for cleaning or removal. The successive bottles which are ordinarily constructed of glass or other extremely brittle material, are gently conducted from place to place through the machine, without danger of breakage or other damage. The improved machine may be manufactured at relatively low cost and is operable with minimum powor and attendance. I
