TOOL FOR FORMING GROOVES lN BOTTLE-MOUTHS.

EPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 369,890, dated September 13, 1887.

Application filed August 4, 1887. Serial No. 246,130. (No model.) Patented in England July 9, 1885, No. 8,299.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN STONER, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Stairfoot, near Barnsley, in the county of York, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tools for Forming Grooves in Bottle--Mouths, (for which I, in conjunction with Dan Rylands, have obtained a patent in Great Britain, No. 8,299, bearing date July 9, 1885,) of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tools for forminggroovesin bottle-mouths; and the objects of my improvements are, first, to form that portion of the mouths of bottles which comes below the grooves of a uniform size, so that the internal stoppers of such bottles are never able to stick in the necks, and, second, to dispense with the ordinary presser and springs, so that the tool may be more simple in construction. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure l is a plan of improved tool. Fig. 2 is a front elevation, and Fig. 8 is a plan, with a portion of handles and standard removed and a bottle-mouth shown in section on plug. Fig. 4 is a plan of modified form of improved tool having aportion of the standard and bandles removed and a section of a bottle-mouth shown on'plug. Fig. 5 is an enlarged partsectional plan of plug with its movable part closed. Fig. 6 is a plan of same with its movable part open. Fig. 7 is an enlargedplau of modified form of plug having the movable portions apart, and Fig. 8 is a part-sectional plan of the same with the movable portions closed. 7

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, the plug or mandrel A is made in two parts, 0 and d. The part (I consists of a swiller, d, and a portion, d". This portion 01" forms the interior of bottle-mouth above the groove. The part c is movable and works on a spindle, g, which has a bearing in the hole 6. The edge e of the part 0 forms the interior of the bottle-mouth below the groove, and the cutter f, which may be either made with orattached to the part 0, forms the groove in the bottle-mouth. The spindle g, which is preferably made in one piece with the part c, is placed eccentric to or a little out of center of said part. It passes through the hole 6 and has a bearing in the crossbar l.

A crank, 10, is secured to the spindle g by 5 means of a set-screw, as, and is connected to the handle or of tongs B by means of the rod y. The part (Z of the plug a is attached to the bridge J by means of the set-screws r r. The

standard 8 and nuts t t i connect the bridge J to the tongs B. The dies at u are secured to the handles m m by means of the nuts '0 22.

Referring to Figs. 4, 7, and 8, the plug A has two movable parts, 0 c, which have spindlesg 9. These pass through the holes 6 6, formed 6 S. When the handles m m are apart, as shown at Fig. 1, the movable part c of Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, or parts 0 0, Figs. 4, 7, and 8, of plugA are closed, as shown at Figs. 1, 2, 5, and 8, in which position they, togetherwith the portion d are pressed into the'mouth of the bottle re quired to be formed. Then the handles m m are pressed to until they obtain the position shown at Figs. 3 and 4. This pressing to of the handles m m causes the rods'yg to turn the cranks w w, which, being secured to the spindies 9 9, turn said spindles also, and the spindle or spindles g 9 being either attached to or made with the portion or portions 0 c, the said portion or portions 0 c necessarily turn also,

thus bringing the cutter or cutters ff and edge 0 or edges 0 c to the position shown. at Figs. 3, 4, 6, and 7. The tongs are held in this position during the time the bottle is being formed in the ordinary manner.

After a satisfactory month has been formed, 5

the handles m m are released, when the rod or rods yg draws or draw back the crank or cranks w 'w, and so brings or bring the'niovable portion or portions 0 c to positions shown at Figs.

1, 2, 5, and 8, in which position the plug A The rods 3/ 3 connect the cranks 7o 2 r 369,890 a it may be withdrawn from the mouth of the botsimilar plug, the crank w or cranks w w, contle without interfering with the groove in innected to and operating with the tools, subterior of the bottle-mouth. I stantially as shown and described. 15
