Egg 9 30 Patented Feb. 2, I 1932 PATENT OFFICE CESARE BARBIEBI, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR, .BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO VOR- TEX. CU]? COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE GAPPING MACHINE FOR CONTAINERS Application filed June 18,

In small stores and the like, where icecream and similar frozen commodities are sold in small quantities, it is desirable to sell predetermined quantities of ice-cream and the like, in containers of a selected size, and cap said containers when filledfor sanitary reasons. Large automatic machines for capping containers are too expensive for small establishments, and this invention, therefore, has been devised for the purpose of producing a comparatively small manually operable capping machine whereby filled containers having caps seated therein are carried in an intermittently rotatable table beneath a crimping mechanism to permit the rims of the container to be individually deflected and crimped inwardly ov-erthe flange of the cap to hold the cap in position.

It is an object of this invention to provide a manually operable capping machine, whereby the rims of paper containers and the like, are adapted to be conveniently crimped over the margins ofinserted caps or closures.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a machine having a rotatable table for carrying filled containers having caps loosely seated therein to permit the upper margins of the containers to be crimped over the margins of the caps one at a time by means of a crimping device operable by a manual control which also governs the rotation of the table. 7

It is a further object of this invention to provide a machine for bending over and crimping the margins of filledpaper cups which are carried by a table which is adapted to be intermittently rotated through given distances to permit filled cups carrying caps to be moyed into a centered position beneath the crimping device.

It is furthermore, an object of this invention to provide a paper cup capping machine adapted to crimp the upper margins of the cups over the caps by manually operating a treadle mechanism, which when operated, first causes rotation of a cup carrier through a predetermined distance to properly center a filled cup and then cause operation of a crimper to cause the upper margin of the 1928. Serial No. 286,333.

centered cup to be deflected and crimped over the cap previously inserted in the cup.

It is an important object of this invention to provide an inexpensive and simplified form of paper cup capping machine embracing a manually operable control, which when actuated, first serves to partially rotate a cup carrying table to center a cup and then actuates a crimping mechanism which deflects and crimps the margin of a centered cup over the flange of a cap. previously inserted in the cup.

Other and further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the specification and the accompanying drawings.

This invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fullydescribed.

As shown on the drawings:

The reference numeral 1, indicates a plat form or Work-bench provided with legs 2 for supporting the same upon a floor 3, or other suitable support. Secured on the floor 3 beneath the platform 1, is a pedestal or bracket 4, provided with a vertical slot 5 through which a pin 6 projects. The pin 6 is carried transversely on a floating foot treadle or lever 7 ,and has slidable engagement in the bracket slot 5 to afford a pivot for the foot treadle when the same is depressed, and said pin reaches the lower end of the slot. Attached to the lever 7, intermediate its ends, is the lower end of a connecting rodor link 8 which projects upwardly through an opening 9 in the platform 1. Fastened on the lower portion of the connecting rod 8 is .1. collar 10 to which the lower end of a tension spring 11 is connected. The upper end of the spring 11 is secured to a screw-eye 1.2 engaged in the bottom surface of the platform 1. The spring 11 normally acts to hold the foot treadle or. lever 7 in normal raised position with the pivot pin 6 seated in the upper end of the slot 5.

Fastened upon the top of the platform 1 is an upright metal frame 13 having a foot or base portion 14 which is integrally connected to the upright frame section 13, by means of a web or arm 15. J ournaled in a vertical opening in the foot section 14 of the framework is a vertical shaft or post 16. Secured on the shaft 16 a short distance above the top of the foot 14, is a ratchet 17 adapted to be actuated by means of a pawl 18. The pawl 18 has one end thereof pivotally supported on the outer end of a crank-arm 19, which is rotatably engaged on the shaft '16 between the ratchet 17, and the top of the frame foot 14. Connected to the outer end of the pawl 18 is one end of a control spring 20, the other end of which is attached to the crank-arm 19. The spring 20 serves to hold the toothed end of the pawl 18 in resilient engagement with the ratchet 17. Pivotally connected to the outer end portion of the crank-arm 19, is one end of a control rod 21, the other end of which is pivotally engaged through one arm of a bell-crank 22, which is pivoted on a bolt 23 secured in the web 15 of the machine framework. The upper end of the connecting rod 8 (Figure 1), is pivotally engaged through the end of the short arm of the bellcrank 22.

Mounted on the upper end of the shaft 16 is a rotatable table 24 having a plurality of notches 25 formed in the periphery thereof. The table 24 is provided with a plurality of tapered cup holders or sockets 26, the tops of which project above the top surface of the eaaese table and terminate in a beveled rim or ring 27 disposed to the inside of a stop shoulder 28. The table 24 is thus arranged to have a plurality of conical paper cups or containers 29 seated therein with the upper margins or rims of the cups projecting above the bevel rings 27. Before the cups 29 are seated in the tapered cup holders 26, each of said cups 29 is filled with a quantity of ice-cream 30, or other product which is to be dispensed. hen the filled cups are seated in a ring upon the table 24, flanged paper caps 31 are loosely seated within the tops of the cups above the contents thereof with the flanges 32 of the caps seated against the inner surface of the cups, as illustrated in Figure 2. If desired the caps 31 may be positioned in place within the upper portions of the filled cups prior to the time that said cups are deposited or seat-- ed in the cup holders 26 of the rotatable table.

Slidably mounted in a horizontal passage 33 provided in the vertical frame 13 is a centering latch or bolt 34 having a tapered end 35 shaped to engage in the centering notches 25 of the table 24. Engaged behind the centerin bolt 34 is a coiled spring 36 which is seate in the passage 33 with the outer end of said spring engaged against a retaining cap or plug 37 removably engaged in the threaded outer end of the passage 33, as clearly illustrated in Figure 2. The movement of the latch bolt 34 is limited by means of a pin 38 which projects diametrically through the latch. bolt, and is slidable in a passage or slot 39 (Figure 8) provided in the web of the upright frame 13.

The outer end of the pin 38 is secured in a hooked hanger arm 40, the upper end of which is pivoted on a pin 41 supported in the side of the web of the vertical frame 13. The lower hooked end of the hanger arm 40 is positioned in coacting engagement with the long arm of the bell-crank 22 so that the control spring 11 acting on the connecting rod 8 causes the bell-crank to hold the hanger arm 40 in its outer position, whereby the pin 38 acts to hold the centering bolt 34 in its retracted position, as illustrated in Figure 8, compressing the coil spring 36. I

Supported upon the vertical frame 13 is a rim crimping mechanism comprising a vertically slidable plunger rod 41a, which is slidably engaged in a sleeve 42 integrally supported on the frame 13 by arms 43. The upper end of the plunger rod 41a is provided with an apertured tongue 44 through which a pivot pin 45 is engaged with the ends of said pin projecting through a pair of toggles or links 46, the upper ends of which are pivotally engaged on a pin 47, carried transversely in one end of a fulcrumed beam 48. The beam 48 is fulcrumed intermediate its ends on a pin 49, which is supported on a bracket 50 mounted upon the top of the vertical frame 13. Connected to the rear end portion of the fulcrumed beam 48 is the upper end of a coil spring 51, the lower end of which is attached to a pin 52 secured to the lower portion of the vertical frame 13. The spring 51 normally acts to hold the plunger rod 41a in an elevated or retracted position. Pivotally connected to the rear end of the fulcrumed beam 48 is the upper end of a long connecting rod 53 which projects downwardly through an opening 54 in the platform 1, and has the lower end thereof pivotally connected to the rear end of the foot treadle 7 Fastened to the lower portion of the connecting rod 53 is a collar 55, to which the upper end of a control spring 56 is connected. The lower end of the control spring 56 is attached to a screw-eye 57, fastened in the floor 3. Secured to the lower end of the plunger rod 41a is a plate or disc 58, held in place by means of a screw bolt 59. Attached to the plunger plate 58 are a pair of posts 60 having rigidly secured on the lower ends thereof, a crimping head or die 61 provided with a circular recess 62 to permit the crimping die 61, when in its lowermost position, to seat over a cap retaining or plunger head 63, as illustrated in Figure 7. The plunger head 63 is provided with a shank 64, which projects upwardly through an opening in the center of the crimping die 61. A screw bolt 65 servesto hold the cap holder head 63 secured within a deflecting cap or hood 66. The deflecting hood 66 is provided with a pair of apertures through which the posts 60 are adapted to slide. The deflecting cap 66 is resiliently held in contact with the top of the crimping die 61 by means of a coiled spring 67, positioned between the disc 58 and the top of the deflecting cap 66, and engaged around the heads of the

screw bolts

59 and 65. Secured within the deflecting cap 66, is a deflect-ing ring 68 provided with a plural- I ity of beveled teeth 69, which slidably interfit with peripheral crimping teeth 7 0, forme d on the exterior of the crimping die 61 (Fig ure 5).

The operation is as follows:

Before the machine is operated, the operator deposits predetermined quantities of icecream or the like, in a plurality of conical paper cups 29, placing flanged paper caps 31 Within the upper ends of the cups above the contents thereof. The filled cups are then seated in the holders 26 of the wheel 24, ready to be crilnped for the purpose of retaining the caps in place.

With the wheel 24 properly loaded, the operator depresses the floating foot treadle 7, which first begins to pivot, with the lower end of the connecting rod 53 serving as a fulcrum. The pin 6 is thus permitted to gradually move downwardly in the slot 5. With the starting of the depression of the foot treadle 7, the connecting rod 8 is gradually pulled downwardly tensioning the spring 11, and causing the bell-crank 22 to pivot with the Long arm thereof moving away from the hooked end of the hanger arm 40, thereby permitting'the compressed spring 36 to push the centering bolt 34 outwardly toward the periphery of the table 24. While this operation of the centering bolt takes place, the rod 21 operated by the bell-crank 22, causes the crank arm 19 to be slightly rotated or rocked on the shaft 16, thereby causing the spring controlled pawl 18 to coact with the ratchet 17 and rotate the same one-eighth of a revolution, thereby causing a cup carrying holder 26 on the table to be moved beneath the crimping mechanism for positioning the respective centering notch 25 inline with the latch or centering bolt 34, thereby allowing the saidspring controlled centering bolt to seat in the notch to hold the table in a centered position. It will thus be seen that each of the cup holders is adapted to be moved in turn into a centered position beneath the crimping mechanism. With the continued downward movement of the foot treadle 7, the treadle pin 6 gradually reaches the lower end of the slot 5, and said pin now acts as a fulcrum point for the foot treadle, causing the rear end of the of the

springs

51 and 56. The upward movement of the connecting rod 53 pivots the beam 48 about its fulcrum 49, thereby causing the front end of the beam to swing downwardly to cause the connecting links 46 to slide the plunger rod 41a downwardly through the sleeve 42 from the position illustrated in Figure 2, into the position illustrated in'Figure 6. This downward movement of the plunger rod 41a moves the deflecting cap 66 downwardly causing the beveled edges of the teeth 69, within the deflecting cap, to engage the upper rim or edge of the centered cup 29, and -reflect or bend said margin inwardly into the position illustrated in Figure 6. As the rim'is being deflected the plunger rod 410;

causes the plunger head 63 to be moved downwardly to seat against the upper surface of the cap 31 to hold the same in place during the deflecting operation on the upper margin of the cup. With the continued downward movement of the plunger rod 41a, the lower edge of the deflecting cap 66, is brought into engagement with the stop shoulder 28 of the cup holder so that movement of the deflecting cap 66 and the cap holding head 61, is stopped. The spring 67 is thus compressed and the posts 60 slide downwardly through the apertures in the top of the deflecting cap 66. The crimping die 61 is thus moved downwardly from the position illustrated in Flgure 6, into the position shown in Figure 7, causing the crimper teeth 70 to slide downwardly between the deflecting teeth 69, and into engagement with the partially deflected margin of the centered cup to cause said margin to be completely bent over and crimped around the upwardly projecting flange 32 of the cap 81, thereby completing the capping and crimping operation.

At this point in the operation the operator releases the foot treadle 7, permitting the control spring 11 to pull the front end of the foot treadle upwardly until the pin 6 reaches the upper end of the slot 5. The upward movement of the foot treadle actuates the connecting rod 8 and the bell-crank 22, to cause the connecting rod 21 to swing the crank-arm 19 back; into normal position, thereby moving the pawl 18 rearwardly into engagement with the next tooth of the ratchet 17, ready for the next feeding operation. The return of the bell-crank 22 to its normal position causes the hanger arm 40 to be swung outwardly, whereby the pin 38 causes retraction of the centering bolt 34 and release of the rotatable table 24.

With the release of the foot treadle 7, the control springs 51 and 56 also act on the connecting rod 53, and the fulcrumed beam 48 to cause the plunger rod 41a to be pulled upwardly, thereby raising the deflecting beams and the crimping mechanisms, as well as the cap holder, out of engagement with the capped cup.

The machine is now ready to be again operated to cause rotation of the table 24 to advance the next filled container or cup into a centered position beneath the crimping mechanisms. The filled cups or containers carried by the rotatable table 24.- are thus individually brought into a centered position to permit the upper margin of the cup to be crimped over the flange of the cap seated within the open upper portion of the cup. The improved machine affords a simple and inexpensive arrangement whereby containers which have previously been filled and provided with flanged caps disposed above the contents of the cups are adapted to be crimped over the flanges of the caps to hold the caps in position, thereby affording a sanitary arrangement for dispenslng icecreams, ices and similar products.
