BOTTLlNG-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming .part of `Illetters Patent No. 272,153, dated February 13, 1883.
Application died October 30, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY W. PUTNAM, of
Bennington, inthe county of Bennington and State of Vermont, have invented an Improved Bottling-Machine, of which the following is a specification.
rlhis invention relates to a new machine for supplying bottles that contain internal stop-V My invention consists principallyin providing the tube that guides tbestem of the hook with a projection in which the hand-lever is pivoted, in carrying said haudlever through the side ot' the tube into a slot in the shank of the hook, and in forming a tightjoint by a tlexible connection between the handlever and the projection of the tube, all as hereinafter more fully described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical central longitudinal section ot' myirnproved bottling apparatus. Fig. 2 is avertical central cross-section of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectiononau enlarged scale, taken on the plane of the lin'e o c, Fig. l. Fig. at is a vertical section, on an enlarged scale, of that part of the shank of the hook whichis traversed by the lever.
The letter Ain the drawings represents the upright tube of the bottling apparatus, said tube being hung in the framing B, that holds it suspended over the bottling-table.
For'` the purpose of connecting the tube with the framing B, which framing is usually at this place a cross-piece, the t-ube is provided with a4 flange, a, on which said framing rests, and with a fastening-nut, b, which engages with the threaded portion of the tube A directly above the framing B, clamping the latter against the flange a. i
The lower part of the tube A is provided with an annular cushion, d, heldin place by a anged nut, e, in the usual manner. .i
U is the hook, placed intothe tube A, as shown, and adapted to be moved up and down therein. The shank ot' the hook at its upper end enters the contracted uppermost part, f, ofthe tube A,and is guided therein,inasinueh as said shank tits the bore of the contracted portion j' with suttlcient exactness to iind proper guidance therein.
In the side of the tube A, above the nut b,
is au elongated aperture, g, which is longer vertically than horizontally, as appears from a comparison of Figs. 1 and'3.
Y To the outer (preferably attenedli part of the tube A, around said aperture g is fastened by screws 7L or otherwise a hollow block, D, between the inner face of which and the outer face of the tube A a perforated packiug-plate`, i, is by preference inserted.
ln ears j, that project from the block D, or from a face-plate, l, attached thereto, is hung by a pin, 7c, the hand-lever E which exftends into tile tube A, and into or through a slot formed in the shank of the boolli C. I
A flexible and Water-prooi' piece ot' indiarubber or analogous material, which piece is marked F in the drawings, connects the lever E; where it enters the block D, with the outer I face of the block D-that is to say, said ilexible piece of india-rubber F is fastened to the outer face ofthe block D, and held there by the faceplate l, which is secured by screws or otherwise. The inner-part ot' thetlexible piece F extends inward along and around the lever E to a certain extent, andis tied tightlyaround said lever by a band, m, of wire, or otherwise tightly secured to the circumference of the lever. The flexible piece F thus secured will prevent the escape of gases or of liquid from the tube Athrough the aperture of the block I) and around the lever E, and will still allow the lever to vibrate freelyon its pivot k; audit will also constitute a sort of a spring, which will tend to hold the lever in a certain position, and with may be' desired.
it the hook C. Thus in the drawings the hook C is shown of such a length that when the lever is held in its horizontal position by the sprin gy action of the elastic and flexible piece F the hook C will be in its middle positionthat is, in a position intermediate between its lowest and highest-so that the operator can lower the hook into the bottle and into engage# ment with the stopper when ready to do so, and afterward pull up the hook, so as to raise and close the stopper; but the adjustment may also, if desired, be such that when the lcveris held in its normal position by the elastic and tlexible piece F the hook O will be either in its lowermost or in its uppermost position, as Those edges in the slot ot' the shank of the hook C which are in contact with the lever Eare by preference made sharp, like knife-edge pivots, or rounded, as shown in Fig. A1, so as to cause as little friction as possible when the lever ismoved on itspivot. The shank ot' the hook below the slotted portion that engages with the' lever E should be springy for greater convenience of operation in engaging with the stopper laterally.
Fig. 4 shows a convenient arrangement of constructing the shank of the hook by screwing the lower part ot' its shank into the upper part, which is slotted. This enables me to unscrew the hook and to substitute for it a different hook, either a longer or shorter, broader or narrower, as occasion may require, without necessitating the taking out ot' the other parts of the bottling apparatus.
Fig. 2 shows the lower part ot' the tube A connected with the liquid-supply tube G and with the airvent extension H,which are ordinary well-known contrivances.
It.- will be perceived that my apparatus, in not employing a stuffing-box for the guidance Yof the shank or stem ofthe hook C,avoids the danger of' leakage around said shank or stem, and facilitates also the manipulation ot' the parts.
Another advantage of my construction is that, for the purpose of taking the parts ofthe apparatus asunder,it is Ilot necessary to break the connection between the tube A and the from the face-plate l, may,if desired, be caused to project from the block D.
Iustead'of joining the lever E tothe hook C by passing the former through a slot n the latten-any other mode of connection may be employed, such as a ileXible link-connection, ball-andsocket joint, or the like.
The opening through the block D, which coincides with the opening g of the tube A, is by preference made inwardly flaring, as shown in Fig. l, so as to allow proper play for the lever E, and yet expose as little of the flexible part of the piece F as possible Ito direct contact with the gases and liquid.
The block D may be made in one piece with the tube A, or entirely omitted if the tube is thick enough, and constitutes, for the purposes of my invention, only a part and parcel of said tube.
1. In a bottling apparatus, the tube A,hav ing side opening,g, combined with the exible connecting-piece F, lever E, and hook C, substantially as hereinl shown and described.
2. In a bottlingmachine, the tube A, having shoulder a' and clamping-nut b. combi-ned with the supporting-frame B, and `the faceplate Z, flexible piece F, lever E, and hook C, substantially as herein shown and described.
3. In a bottling apparatus having atube, A, and reciprocating hook C, the combination thereof with the lever E, that extends through the side of the tube A, and connects with that part ot the hook which is Awithin said tube, substantially as speciled.
4. The tube A,having contracted upper portion, j', combined with the reci} )rocating` hook G and lever E, which enters the tubeA through the side thereof and connects with said hook, substantially as described.
5. The flexible connecting-piece F, placed over an opening in the side of the tube or chamber A, and around a lever entering the tube or chamber through said opening, and secured to and combined with said lever and said tube, substantially as herein shown and described.
