MACHlNERY FOR DRILLING HOLES IN BOTTLES.

EJPECIE'ICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,505, dated. June 23, 1885.

Application tiled May 14, 1884. No model.) Patented in England November 19, 1883, No. 5.445.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAN RYLANDS, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Stairfoot Barnsley, in the county of York, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Machinery for Drilling Holes in Bottles, (for which a patent has been granted in Great Britain No. 5,445, dated November 19, 1883,) of which the following is a specification.

1n Letters Patent No. 270,392, dated J anuary 9, 1883, granted to Hiram Codd and myself for improvements in bottles for containing aerated liquids, a bottle is described in which the hole is formed through the neck when the bottle has been removed from the mold by means of a small punclnwhich is driven from the inside through the neck.

My present invention is applicable to the boring or punching of a hole through the bottle-neck before the bottle leaves the mold,and by means of a small drill or punch operating from the outside.

By this invention more uniformity in the holes is secured and a great amount of breakage in the punching of such holes is avoided,

and the hole can also be more easily bored or' punched in any part of the neck or of the bottle with much more satisfactory results than is possible after the bottle has been removed from the mold. In the drawings hereunto annexed Ihave shown the application of this principle to one particular shape of bottle; but it will be well understood that it is equally applicable to any shape of bottle, and that the hole can be made in any position in the bottle that may be most suitable.

Figure 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on lines 8 3, Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a section of a bottle, showing the hole bored or drilled.

The fixing A receiving the frame-work has slot-holes a a, through which pass the bolts B B, by bottle-mold plate I). These slot-holes a a are arranged so that they will allow of the machine being lowered or raised to suit the drilling of a hole in any required part of the bottle. The foot lever or treadle O is carried on the center pin, 0, on which it works. This center pin is screwed into the boss D of the which the machine is fastened to the fixing A. At the end of the foot-lever C is a spiral spring, E, fastened to the foot-lever G at e and to the fixing A at d. This spiral spring is made of such a strength that whenever the bottle-blowers foot is off the treadle or foot-lever 0 this foot-lever will return to the position shown at Fig. 1. In this foot-1e ver 0 a slot-hole, F, is made, through which passes the bolt or pin f, attaching the connecting-rod G thereto. This connecting-rod G is attached to the large spur-wheel H by means of a bolt or pin, 9, which is fitted through the boss ofthis wheel. H is keyed on the shaft 71, on which shaft is also keyed the cam I, having in it the groove 1', in which the runner K works, which runner is fastened to the reciprocating lever k, which lever is carried by the center pin, L. At the other end of this lever k is fixed the runner Z,which runs in the groove of the reel M. The steel spindle m is keyed intothe reel M. The small pinion-wheel N is made of such a width on the face that when the throw is given to the spindle m the small pinion-wheel N does not run out of gear with the large spur-wheel H, so that when the spindle m has gone the full length of its stroke the small pinionwheel N is still in gear with the large spurwheel H. The spindle on has bearings a, and the end of the spindle is made'in the form of a punch or drill, as shown at O; or the spindle may be made hollow at one end to receive a punch or drill. The punch or drill enters the mold I? through the hole 1), which hole may be in any other suitable part of the mold. The large wheel H is 'made heavy at one side q to prevent the connecting-rod G stopping on dead-center. The operation of punching the hole is as follows: After the bottle-blower has blown his bottle in the mold, and before removing the bottle from the mold, he presses with his foot the treadle or foot-lever 0, thus causing the large spur-wheel H to revolve, and thisbeing geared with the smaller pinionwheel N causes it to revolve at a greater speed, and by means of the cam I and reciprocating lever the spindlem not only revolves, but also travels to the extent that the cam I and the small pinion-wheel N allows. This being sufficient distance to bore the hole in the bottle and the revolving and traveling This wheel motion going on at the same time makes a hole in the bottle with great ease and regularity. When the blower takes his foot off the foot-lever or treadle O,the spring E draws this lever back to the position shown at Fig. 1, thus causing the punch or drill O to withdraw from the mold P, when the bottle can be taken out of the mold.

Fig. 4 shows the hole R as drilled in the lottle after it has left the mold- Having thus described the nature of my invention and the manner of performing the same,l would have it understood that I do not claim as my present invention a bottle with a valve-hole,as this has been already secured to Hiram (odd and myself by PatentNo. 27 0,392, dated January 9, 1883; but What I do claim as my present invention 15 1. The combination, attached to a bottlemold, of the spindle m, the end of which carries a punch or drill, O, actuated by suitable driving machinery and capable of being ad- .justed by means of the bolts 13 B and the slots at a in the framework A, so as to allow of the drilling of a hole in any required part of the bottle, with the spring E, for the purpose of withdrawing the punch 0 from the mold after the hole is drilled, all substantially as de scribed. e

2. The combination, when attached to a bottle-mold, of the spur-wheel H and pinion- Wheel N, with the cam K, and reciprocating lever k, with treadle O, and spindle m, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth,

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
