Definitions
- FIGURE l is a vertical axial section showing the cock n its closed position, prior to its engagement by a bottle to be filled;
- FIGURE 2 illustrates the same cock positioned for pressurizing the bottle
- FIGURE 3 illustrates the cock during the bottle filling operation
- Y FiGURE 4 illustrates the bottle and cock assembly at the end of the cycle.
- the automatic cock of this invention comprises essentially:
- a first movable assembly comprising a tubular base 6, a sleeve 12, a head 19, a bottom 19 formed integrally with the head 19, this assembly being movable as a unit.
- the sleeve 12 carries an external flange or washer 17 normally bearing, in the inoperative position shown in FIG. l, on the bottom or mounting plate 15 of the tank or filling machine.
- the tubular base 6 lying within the socket 13 is solid with the sleeve 12 sliding in a bore formed in the collar 11 and body 14, and the ange or washer 17 solid with this sleeve 12 com-prises a forked portion engaging the lower portion of a substantially Vertical rod 28 supported by and slidably engaging the body 14.
- the sleeve 12 is formed with lateral orifices 17 through which the liquid iilling the tank. consisting of the space overlying the bottom plate 15 can penetrate into this sleeve 12.
- the tubular base 6 is formed with a lateral, radial chamber 61 in which a release or Venting valve is mounted; this valve comprises a valve member 34 having a push-rod or shank 33 extending with a certain play through a cap 31 and is constantly urged to its closed position by a spring 35.
- An orifice 351 connects the outlet aperture 62 of the tubular base 6 with the valve chamber 61 and permits the gradual restoring of the atmospheric pressure in the bottle neck at the end of the cycle, when the 3,155,126 Patented Nov.
- This first movable assembly is constantly urged downwards by a relatively strong spring 8, and it will be seen that the action of this spring is assisted by the liquid pressure prevailing in the tank.
- a packing 16 seals the sliding joint between the sleeve 12 and the fixed body 14.
- Another movable assembly comprising4 a pipe 3 screwed in a fitting 10 carrying a grid 101 at its top.
- This fitting 10 is solid in turn with an upper pipe 24 of which the upper end opens into the gaseous atmosphere of the tank, that is, above the liquid level therein.
- the pipe 3 carries a defiector 4 of flexible material, and the fitting 10 has screwed thereon a member 5 carrying a valve 7 for controlling the delivery of the liquid.
- the -upper pipe 24 is solid with a rotation and lifting preventing member 18 formed with a stud 181 engaging an eccentric hole 182 formed through the head 19, and comprises a spring ring 22 for locking a washer 21 against upward axial movement.
- valve member 9 for stopping the delivery of liquid at the end of the filling operation; this valve member consists of a material having a specific gravity inferior to 1, or may be urged upwards by a spring bearing on the member 5, not shown, so that at the end of its permissible upward movement this valve member 9 will engage the grid 101 and close its orifices.
- the pipes 3 and 2 4 constitute an assembly moving as a solid unit since the two tubes are interconnected through the fitting 1l). Furthermore, it will be seen that, when the cock is closed, the valve member 7 engages a seat 71 ⁇ formed internally of the tubular base 6.
- a spring 20 of adequate force is mounted on the pipe 24 and bears with one end against the bottom 19 of head 19 and with the other end against the vwasher 21 retained on the pipe 24 by the spring ring 22 as already explained.
- An air valve comprising a tubular member 23 having a seat-forming bottom 25 engaging in the closed position of the cock the upper end of pipe 24.
- a reduction lever comprising the vertical rod 28 carried bythe body 14, and a lever proper 26 pivoted on the upper end of rod 28 about a pin 27.
- This lever 26 has a forked portion surrounding the pipe 24 and adapted to engage'the tubular member 23 of the air valve from beneath.
- FIGURE 1 shows the automatic cock in its closed position, with the centering bell-shaped member 1 in its lowermost position and the air valve 25 and liquid valve7 seated.
- FIGURE 2 illustrates the bottle in its pressurizing position.
- the first movable assembly comprising the base 6 solid with the head 19.
- the headl 19 has engaged the reduction lever 26 and the latter has lifted in turn the tubular air valve 23 so that, assuming a 9-millimeter upward stroke of the first movable assembly 6, the air valve has been movedf 15k millimeters upwards.
- valve member 7 The movement of the valve member 7 away from its seat 71 is limited by the relative engagement of members 19 and 1S. This lift, for example of 3 millimeter, will still provide a 3-millimeter passage for the air returning from the bottle at the upper end of the air valve 25.
- the air is exhausted from the bottle in 4the direction opposite to the pressurizing direction.
- FIGURE. 4 illustrates the automatic cock at the end of the cycle.
- 'Ille last step consists in releasing the bottle from the coc During these different movements, the first movable assembly 6, 12, 19, 191 cannot revolve about its axis, as the forked member 17 is guided by the support 28.
- This pipe can be removed, by unscrewing it, the fitting 10 being held against rotation by the member 13, 181 preventingthe rotational and lifting movements of lthe assembly.
- Bottle lling device for ythe automatic bottling of liquids under gaseous pressure from a tank supplied simultaneously with liquid at a level maintained between certain limits and with gas under pressure, the device comprising the tank, a cylindrical body iixed vertically under the tank, a first movable tubular element sliding in a sealed manner in an axial bore of the cylindrical body relaltively to which it is moved downwards by elastic means, the upper part ⁇ of which communicates with the liquid in the tank and an annular base at the lower part, a second movable tubular element guided coaxially in the first and relatively to which it is moved upwards by elastic means, the upper end of which is situated in the gaseous atmosphere 'of the tank and the lower end of which passes underneath the base of the first movable element wall of the annular base of the first movable element and its closure integrally connec-ted with the second movable element, an auxiliary liquid valve co-operating with the main valve and situated above it, having for its downwardly directed seat an annular per
- a vertical rod is xed to the cylindrical body in the tank at the side of the part of the first movable tubular element which passes through the tank and which engages in a cavity of a fiange integrally connected with the first movable element and serves to guide the latter in a sliding movement, to prevent it from turning.
- a lever is articulated to the end of the vertical rod and serves to amplify the vertical displacement transmitted by the first movable tubular element to lthe fitting carrying the seating of the gas valve.
- a slidable guide device maintains the second movable tubular element in a fixed angular position relative to the iirst movable tubular element.
