In Figs. 5, 9, and 10 the principal working parts are represented in full lines, the relative positions of the supporting-frames and some of the connections being indicated by dotted lines.

5 represents the bottle-carrier, which consists of a drum-like metal casing made of a depth from back to 'front somewhat exceeding the length of the longest bottle intended to be cleansed in the machine. The carrier is formed of any suitable number of cylindrical through-openings or bottle-receptacles 6, which are arranged in curviradial series, as seen best in Figs. 2 and 4, and are made of a diameter somewhat exceeding that of the largest bottle intended to be cleansed in the machine. The carrier 5 is supported byjournals 7, (m'de Fig. 8,) which project through the adjacent sides of an open-topped tank 8, and, together with the tank, are supported by front and back standards 9, rising from a sole-plate 10. The back of the carrieris fitted with a ring of ratchet-teeth 22, equal in number to that of the said curviradial series of bottle-holes 6, so that the carrier is caused to be rotated to the extent of the space between two adjacent series of such eurviradial series of bottleholes at each 'of its intermittent movements. Such movements of thecarrier are imparted byanintermittentlyoperatingcounterweighted pawl 13, which is actuated from the main shaft 14 by a worm 15, which gears with a Worm-wheel 16 on a shaft 17, which is supported by the framing 12, hereinafter referred to. The shaft 17 also carries a crank-plate 18, having a pin 19, which once in each revolution of the shaft 17 raises from the position indicated in Figs. 2 and 3 to that indicated in Figs. 7 and S, a curved bar 20, which works loosely in and is guided by a bracket 21, bolted to the adjacent side of the tank 8. (Vida Fig. 7.) The upper end of the bar 20 is connected to one arm of a two-armed lever 23, the axis of which is supported by the adjacent standard 9, (wide Figs. 7 and 8 and to the other arm of such lever 23 the aforesaid pawl 13 is pivoted. The rotation of the carrier 5 is arrested immediately the pawl 13 arrives at the end of each of its actuating movements, and the carricris held stationary until the following actuation by the pawl by a brake-lever 24, (wide Figs. 1 and 4,) which is caused to constantly bear against the periphery of the carrier (wide Fig.4) by a weight 26, the brake-lever being loosely centered on a rod 25, supported by the back and front framings 12 and 11.. The main shaft is carried by bearings 119, bolted to the frames 11 12 and is fitted with fast and loose pulleys 120 121. The training 12 is situated at the back of the machine and is adapted to carry a series of continuously-rotating brushes 27, equal in number to that of the bottle-holes in each of the said curviradial series thereof, such number being live in the machine represented on the drawings. (Vida Fig. 2 The series of brushes 27 is in alignment with one of the curviradial series of bottle-holes 6 each time the carrier is at rest and at such time is advanced for brushing the interiors of the bottles supported in the opposite bottle-holes number (five) of bottle ejectors 28, which series isalso in alignment with one of the curviradial series of bottle-holes 6 each time the carrier is at rest, and at such time is advanced (simultaneously with the like movement of the brushes 27) for ejecting from the opposite bottle-holes 6 in the carrier the bottles which have been previously soaked and internally brushed and delivering them to the externally-brushing and internally-rinsing apparatus at the front side of the carrier, the ej ectors being then retired simultaneously with the like movement of the brushes 27. Each brush 27 when in its inoperative position (wide Fig. 5) rotates within a circular openended shield 29, which is bolt-ed at 30 to parallel slide-bars 31, (wide Figs. 6 and 9,) which are supported by a guide-bar 32, se cured to fixed cross-bars 33 34, connecting the opposite frames 12. At each operative movement of the brush its shield also advances until arrested by the cross-bar 34, (wide Fig. 9,) after which the brush continues to advance, passing out of the shield and into the bottle in the carrier until it reaches the bottom end thereof. The spindle 35 of each brush (wide Figs. 5 and 9) is secured by a screw-pin 36 to a socket 37, which is similarly secured to a squared spindle 48, hereinafter further referred to, and works within a sleeve 38 and is kept pressed forward by a spring 39, which is arranged within the sleeve and allows of the brush yielding should it meet with undue resistance at the bottom end of the bottle when advancing. The series of brushes are simultaneously advanced, the advance of each brush (hide Figs. 2, 5, 6, and 9) being effected by a weight 40, which is connected by a wire or other suitable flexible connection 41, passin g over a pulley 42, carried by a cross-shaft 43 (supported by the opposite frames 12) to an extension 44, depending from the sleeve 38, which means allow of the brush yielding should it'meet with any undue resistance to its forward motion. The series of shields 29 are also advanced simultaneously with each other and with the like movement of the brushes 27, the advance of each shield being effected by a weight 45, connected to the slidebars 31 byawire orother suitable flexible connection 46, passingover a pulley 47 on the crossshaft 43. The weights 40 are kept apart bya partitioned frame 123. Each socket37is also, as hereinbefore referred to, secured to a squared spindle 48, (wide Figs. 5 and 9,) which fits freely within an internally-squared rotating sleeve 49, so as to be capable of sliding endwise therein to accommodate the advancing and retiring movements of the brushes 27. On the sleeve 49 is keyed a pulley 50, which is driven from a pulley 52 on the main shaft 14 by a strap 51, so as to keep the spindle 48 and its connected brush 27 in continuous rotation. The series of brushes 27 are rotated simultaneously by a series of the straps 51 being used, all driven by the pulley 52 (vidc Figs. 1 and 2) and each part-1y encircling and actuating one, two, or more of the pulleys 50. The sleeve 49 is supported by and can freely rotate in the crossbar 33 and by and in a rear cross-bar 53, to which latter a traversing motion is imparted by an eccentric 54, (wide Figs. 1 and 11,) keyed to a pulley 55, which is driven from the pulley 52 by a strap 56, such motion of the cross-bar 53 giving a sweepin g movementto the rotating brushes 27 within the bottles, so as to scour the inner sides and bottom end thereof. To permit such sweeping movement of the brushes, each of the bearings 49 fits sufficiently loosely in the cross-bar 33 to allow it to move the distance wanted, and this also is the case with respect to the fitting of the socket 37 in the sleeve 38, there being in each. case just sufficient play between the parts to allow of the brush receiving the required sweep, which is of a comparatively small extent. 53 are supported by the opposite frames 12.

The ejector-rods 57 (wide Figs. 1, 2, 3,5, and 9) are support-ed by standards 58, rising from one of the side frames 12, and by movable frame-bars59,andtheiradvancingmovements (the series being simultaneously advanced) are effected by a weight 60, common to the series and which is connected to the rear frame-bar 59 by a wire or other suitable flexible connection 61, passing over a pulley 62 on the cross-shaft 43. The retiring movements of the brushes 27 and of the shields 29 and ejectors 28 and the raising of the connected weights 40, 45, and are effected simultaneously by levers 63 and 64,'(wide Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, and 9,) which are keyed on a cross-shaft 65, supported by the opposite frames 12, and are connected by a cross-bar 66 and by a cross slide-bar 67, and are operated at the proper times to effect such movements from the wormwheel 16 by the crank-pin 70 thereof, working in a slot 71 in the adjacent end of thelever 63. The retiring movements of the ejectors 28 are effected by the cross-bar 66, bearing back an extension 59*, depending from the fore framebar59. The rctirin g movements of the brushes 27 are effected by the slide -bar 67, which works in slots 68, formed in the adjacent ends of the levers 63 64 and in guideways 69, formed at the upper parts of the opposite frames 12,the bar 67 hearing against the said depending projections 44. The retiring movements of the bruslrshields 29 are effected by the projections 44, which in their retiring movements come into engagement with and bear against the adjacent ends of the slidebars 31, to which the shields are connected. ltwill be seen that the advancing movements of the brushes 27, shields 29, and ejectors 28 can only be effected bytheir respective weights 40, 45, and 60 as and when their common retiring-levers 63 64 permit of the same being done.

The mechanism for receiving the soaked and internally-brushed bottles as cj ected from the carrier (wide Figs. 1, 4, 5, 9, and. 10) is constructed with a framing 72, fitted wit-h The cross-bars 33 and partitions 73, (wide Fig. 4,) forming. channels 74, so arranged as to receive the bottles from I the said curviradial series of bottle-holes 6 in the carrier 5 (wide Fig. 9) and to guide them, mouth downward, (wide Fig. 10,) to between the opposite externally-brushing brushes 75 and onto the rinsing-pipes 76. The series of bottles in the series of bottle-holes 6, opposite the ejectors 28, is, as aforesaid, simultaneously ejected from the carrier 5, and each bottle is received onto an opposite slat 77, (wide Fig. 9,) which is pivoted on a pin 78, supported by the adjacent partitions 7 3. The series of slats 77 are immediately thereafter tilted (wide Fig. 10) by the means hereinafter described, so as to cause the bottles to be lowered, mouths downward, in the inclosed channels 74, formed by the framing 72, the partitions 73, and the slats 77. Each of the said channels 74 is also fitted with a lower shutter 79, the series of such shutters being connected to a cross-bar 80, journaled in the opposite front frames 1.1 and being simultaneously opened (wide Fig. 10) by the means hereinafter described in such a manner as to permit of the passing of the bottles lowered by the slats 77 and as to direct them to between the said brushes 75. The same movement of the shutters 79 also tilts over the preceding series of bottles after their having been brushed and rinsed and again raised, (wide Fig. 9,) as hereinafter described, to the level of the front ccntinuations 81 of the channels 74, down which such bottles are thus caused to slide onto the delivery-table 82.

The simultaneous movements of the series of slats 77 are effected from the shaft 17 (wide Figs. 1 to 5 and 7 to 10) by means of a lever 83, which is pivoted at 84 to the sole-plate 10 and receives motion from the shaft 17 by means of a pin 85, projecting from the said crank-plate 18 and working in a cam-groove 86 in a cam plate or box 86 bolted to the lever-83. Such lever is pivotally connected to a rod 87,which passes through the journals 7 of the carrier, (wide Fig. 8,) and at its opposite end is connected by a link 88 to a leverarm 89, which is keyed on a cross-rod 90, carried by the opposite frames 11 and on which cross-rod are keyed other lever-arms 91, which are connected by a cross-rod 92, to which the overhanging end 93 of each of the series of pivoted slats 77 is connected by alink 94. The simultaneous movements of the series of shutters 79 are also derived from the cross-rod 92, the cross-bar 80, to which they are all connected, as aforesaid, being connected to such cross-rod 92 by a link 95 and a lever-arm 96, keyed on the cross-bar 80. (Vide Figs. 1, 4, 5, 9, and 10.) The externally-brushing brushes are keyed on parallel spindle 97, which (wide Figs. 1 and 12) are carried by slide-blocks 98, fitted with intermediate rubber or spring blocks or the like 99, Fig. 13, working in gnideways 100, formed in the opposite frames 11, the blocks 98 being capable of adjustment by set-screws 101. (See, also, Fig. 4.) The brushes IIO 75 are contiuuouslyrotated in opposite directions from the shaft 14 by straps 1.02, driving pulleys 103, keyed on the spindles 97.

The rinsing mechanism (tide Figs. 1, 4, 5, 10, and 13) is constructed with a stationary force-pipe 104, from which rises a ser es of rinsing-pipes 76, adapted to enter the necks of the bottles as they are lowered, as hereinafter described, between the brushes 75, during which time and while the bottles remain on the pipes 76 a supply of water to rinse the interiors of the bottles is automatically turned on. The cock 124, controlling the water-supply, is actuated by lever- arms 125 and 126,

which are connected tothe conjunction of one of the bars 112 and one of the levers 113,both

hereinafter referred to, and are actuated therefrom, and the rinsing-water which falls from the bottles is received by a stationary trough i 105, from which it may be led away by any suitable overflow 127 or other outlet. The upper part of the sides of the trough 105 are open, as at 106, Figs. 1, 10, and 13, to permit of vertical reciprocation of a casting 107, which is or pivotally connected at 111 to a connectingbar 112, the two of which bars are respectively connected to lever-arms 113, which are keyed on a cross-shaft 114, supported by standards 115. On the cross-shaft 114 there is also keyed a lever-arm 127, which is connected to the worm-wheel 16 at 116 by a bar 117. By such means the casting 107 is raised from about the position indicated in Fig. 5 to about that indicated in Fig. 10, and when it has reached such latter position the shutters 77 79 have, by the operation of the connected levers 83 89 91 94 95 96, gradually been so far opened as to allow the bottles to slide necks downward in the partitioned frame 72, between the continuously-rotating externallybrus'hing brushes 75 and onto the wooden cups 118, which surmount theraised casting 107. The casting 107 is thereupon, by the operation of the connected levers 117 127 113 112, lowered to the position indicated in Fig. 5, the bottles descending with it below the bottom level of the shutters 79 and between the brushes 75, and the rinsing-pipes 76 enter their necks as they descend. While the casting and the bottles it supports are descending the tap is by the operation of the levers 125 126 turned on and the bottles are internally rinsed, and during the same time the shutters 77 79 are by their said connected levers 83 89 91 94 95 96 caused to resume the positions indicated in Figs. 5 and 9, ready to receive the next series of soaked and internally-brushed bottles to be externally brushed and rinsed. WVhen the shutters 77 79 have resumed the positions indicated in Figs. 5

and 9, the rinsing of the lowered bottles will have been effected, and the casting, together with the rinsed bottles it supports, are then, by the operation of their said connected levers 117 127 113 112, caused to rise (during which the tap 124 is turned off by the levers 125 126) and deliver the series of rinsed bottles between the brushes 75, but now at the back side of the shutters 79, (mile Fig. 9,) in such a position as that they will be caused to be tilted over on to the delivery-table 82 (down which they slide) by the next out-ward movement of the shutters 79 in lowering the next series of bottles to be rinsed.

The operation of the mechanism is as follows: In starting the machine the bottles to be cleansed are placed in the consecutive curviradial series of recesses 6 in the carrier 5, with their necks all toward the back of the machine, and the carrier is or may be rotated by hand (without operating any of the other mechanism) until the first curviradial series of soaked bottles comes opposite the series of brushes 25. Thereupon the main driving-strap is transferred from the loose pulley 121 to the fast pulley 120 on the main shaft 14, which is continuously rotated; The rotation of the shaft 14 effects the following several operations by the several connections hereinbefore described in detail, viz: it imparts by the connections 15 16 17 18 19 20 23 13 22 a step-bystep rotary motion to the carrier 5. It also imparts by the connections 52 51 5O 49 48 37 36 a continuous rotary motion to the series of internally-brushing brushes 27. It also imparts by the connections 102 103 97 a continuous rotary motion to the externally-brushing brushes 75. It also during each period of rest of the carrier 5 permits by the connections 15 16 70 63 65 64 66 67 of the series of brushes 27, with their shields 29, and of the series of ej ectors 28 being advanced by their respective connections 40 41 44 38 39 45 46 31 30, and 61 59 57, so as to cause the bottles opposite the brushes to be internally brushed and those opposite the ejectors to be ejected from the carrier on the shutters 77 at the other side of the machine, and subsequently by such connections 15 16 63 65 64 66 67 44 38 31 30 59 57 causessuch series of brushes 27, shields 29, and ejectors 28 to be retired clear of the carrier to permit of the next step-like movement of the latter. It also between each retirement and advance of the said brushes, shields, and ejectors causes by the connections 15 16 17 18 86 83 87 89 90 91 92 9493 78 95 96 80 the shutters 77 79 to be opened, so as to lower the bottles ejected from the carrier between the externall y-brushin g brushes 75 onto the vertically-reciprocating casting 107 of the rinsing mechanism, and to be again shut, ready to receive the next series of bottles ejected from the carrier. It also between each shutting and opening of the shutters 77 79 causes by the connections 15 16 116 117 127 114 113 112 111 109 126 the casting 107, supporting the bottles lowered there- IIO t ma ze unto, as aforesaid, to be lowered about the musing-pipes 76 and to be raised again be tween the brushes 75 at the back side of the shutters 79, and the tap 124 to be in the mean time turned on and o p 122 represents lubricating-caps fitted to the parts desired to be kept lubricated.
