BOTTLE-WASHING MACHIN E.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 434,628, dated August 19, 1890. Application filed February 1, 188 8. Serial No. 262,628. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: w
Be it known that I, SOHUYLER L. GILLETT, of Lima, in the county of Livingston and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Im provement in Bottle-fashing Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and lexact description of the same, reference being had to the drawings accompanying this application. In general construction this machine is similar to that patented by Gillett and Vatkins September 27, 1887, No. 370,693.
The present invention consists in the construction and arrangement by which water is automatically supplied to the bottles; also, in certain means for running the shaker and elevating the same, as will be more fully dei scribed and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the machine. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a diagram, on an enlar'ged scale,showing-a longitudinal Vertical section of the shaker,its supporting-frame and connecting parts. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a horizontal section of a portion of the tubular shaft and one of the bottle-holders connected therewith. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a horizontal section, on an enlarged scale, of the hollow chamber at the end of 'the tubular shaft. Fig. 6 is an enlarged Vertical section of the valve for controlling the flow of water to the bottles.
A indicates the mainframe or support for the shaker and its connecting parts, said frame being shown in the drawin'gs asv a trough that will hold water, and above which the Operating parts are mounted.
B B are two hangers suspended from a shaft a overhead, said shaft having a pulley b, by which power is applied.
C is a shaft mounted in the lower ends of hangers B B and provided with a pulley c.
A band d' extends from upper pulley b to' lower pulley c,.by which means rotary motion can be imparted to shaft O, while at the same time the hangers, with the shaft attached, can be vibrated forward and back.
D is a stiif spring attached 'fast overhead, and E is a connecting-rod pivoted at one end to the lower end of the spring and at the other to one of the hangers B. By this means proper reaction is produced as the hangers are reciprocated.
d cl are Crank-Wheels on the ends of shaft. C, and f are connccting-rods jointed at one end'to the crank-wheels and at the other to a bar e or some other stationary bearing. By this means when the shaft Cis revolved reciprocating motion will be automatically imparted to the hangers.
G is the shaker or carriage that holds the bottles while being washed. Said shakerconsists of a rectangular frame whose side pieces have their rear ends g g hung or pivoted on the shaft C, so that the shaker remains a fixture to the shaft, but can be turned up at any angle thereon,as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 3.
H is a shaft located longitudinally in the Shaker and having a beVel-gear h that engages with a corresponding bevel-gear on shaft C. By this means rotary motion is imparted to shaft H.
I I are two reels mounted on shaft H. To the arms of one of the reels are attached the feeding-cups K K, and to the arms of the other are attached holding-cups L L. The bottles are attached to the reels and receive rotary motion with the shaft H, and reciprocating motion with the shaker G. Shot are inserted in the feeding-cups and work their way into the bottles, and bythis means, with the aid of water, the interior of the bottles are perfectly' cleaned. The feeding-cups K have interior cups K' pressed forward 'by Springs k, in which interior cups the shot are placed, and themouth of the bottle rests against a packingl to keep it tight. Thus far the construction is similar to that shown and described in the aforementioned patent.
My present improvement is as follows:
J is a supporting-fraine that underles the shaker G, and forms the support for the same. The shaker simply rests on ways of the supporting-frame, and reciprocates freely forward and back, while the supporting-frame remains stationary. The supporting-frame, however, is pivoted at m to the stationary frame of the machine, so that it can be turned up, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 3, and at the rear end it is weighted, as shown at n, so as to nearly but not quite counterbalance the weight of itself and the Shaker in front of the pivot m. By simply pressing on the handle of the Shaker, the Shaker can be turned up to any desired degree without arresting the motion of the Shaker, by which means the shot can be worked back and forth in the bottle, or it can be turned entirely up to discharge the shot. The use of the independent supporting-frame adds to the facilities of Operating the machine, as the Shaker can be tilted up and down to work the Shot in and out Without touching it.
The shaft I-I instead of being make solid,
as in the before-mentioned patent, is hollow or tubular from the outer or front end to a distance back beyond the reels, leaving the rear or inner end where the gear-wheel is attached solid. At the outer end the open end of the tube passes through a stufling-box o, and into a hollow box or chamber P, attached fast to the end of the Shaker by Stays p p, or by other suitable means. The end of the shaft revolves in this box or Chamber and receives a supply of water from the same.
R is a flexible pipe, made of rubber or other suitable material, attached at one end to the box or Chamber P, into which it opens,thence extending along the side of the Shaker G to the opposite end, thence passing loosely in a coil w around the Shaft C, furnishing Suficient slack, so as to allow the reciprocation and proper working of the machine, thence extending np along one of the hangers B, and thence passing off to a suitable tank or other water-supply not shown in the drawings. Tater passing through this flexible pipe is carried to the interior of the shaft H without interfering with either the reciproeating or rotary movement-s of said shaft..
8 8 are small fiexible tnbes extending from shaft H to each of the interior fillil'ig-cups K', and allowingthe water to fiow from the shaft to the interior of the eups, where it also passes into the bottles. In order to allow the proper reaction of the interior cups K' in the interior cu ps K, the latter have slots t t, through which the tubes s s pass, as shown in Fig. 4.
S is a cut-oif-valve case, located in the flexible pipe R on top of the Shaker G, said case being provided with a spring-valve q, that controls the fiow of water through the pipe. This valve is connected with an elbow-shaped lever u, whose Vertical arm extends up alongside a stationary handle a', attaehed to the top of the shaker in convenient position to be seized by the hand to turn the Shaker up. The operator in turning the Shaker up takes hold of the handle a; withoutseizin g the lever u. The water is cut off when the shaker is elevated; but when he has supplied new bottles and turns the Shaker down, he Seizes the arm u With the handle and compresses the same and opens the Water-way, allowing the bottles all to partially fill with water. When he releases them again, the water is cut off and the bottles can then be agitated, as before described.
The plate or supporting-frame J, in addition to serving as a support on which the shaker rests, facilitates the raising of the Shaker by the handle before deseribed,for the reason that when the Shaker is raised the supporting-frame tnrns on its pivot and rises with it by its own action, caused by the counter-Weight n at the rear, which is sufficient to nearly balance the Shaker and the supporting-frame together. By this means but very little power is required to raise the Shaker.
Having described my in vention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a bottle-washing machine, the combination, with the reciprocating shaker pivoted to be turned up and down, of the independent supporting-frame underlying the Shaker and independently pivoted to be turned up and down with the Shaker, as set forth.
2. The combination,with the reciprocating Shaker carrying the bottles, of a tubular shaft provided with reels on which said bottles are mounted, tubular conneetions between the shaft and the eups that supply the bottles, and a supply-pipe for supplying the tubular shaft, as herein specified.
3. The combination' of the reciprocating shaker, the tubular shaft resting therein, the reels attached to the shat't and carrying the bottles, the fiexible pipes connecting the shaft with the filling-cups of the bottles, the water box or chamber at the outer end of the shaft, and the flexible pipe attaehed to the water-box, in the manner and for the purpose specified.
4. The combination of the reciprocating Shaker, the tubular shaft resting therein, the water box or Chamber at the end of the shaf t, the fiexible pipe connecting with the waterbox, and the cut-elf valve in the flexible pipe, as and for the purpose specified.
In Witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subseribing witnesses.
