To al? whom 2125 may concern.:

Be 1t known that I, ROBERT GOOD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Poughkeepsie, in the'county'of Dutchess and-State of New York, have inventedcert-ain new and useful Improvements in Jar or Bottle Receivers; and'Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the lnvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Myinvention relates to devices for preserving the shape of jars, bottles and other glass vessels in finished form or as they are separated from the glass-blowers pipe, before they become cool and entirely rigid; and the obJects of my invention are, first to provide a form o r pocket of a diameter and shape correspondlng to the glass vessel to be placed in 1t, and thus obviate the necessity ot' rolling the Jar or bottle in the ordinary way; second, to arrange these pockets so that they may be conveniently moved from the position where they receive the vessel in finished form or from the blow-pipe, to a point where it may be carried to the annealing chamber in the usual Way; and third, to combine with the movable jar or bottle-holder an upright T, or an equivalent cut-oft' blade, for severing the glass stem connecting the vessel with the blowplpe. I attain these objects by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure l, is a perspective Viewof my entire devlce, arranged, as is usually convenient, to rest upon the floor. Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the same, showing it as supported from above, one of the pockets, being represented 1n sect1on, containing a bottle, and the other containing a jar with the blow-over as cut eff from the blow-pipe; and Fig. 3, is also a side elevation of the same showing it as supported from the side by a bracket.

Simllar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings A represents the tube or sleeve in which the supporting rod B, rotates and is held in place by the shoulder b, resting upon the upper end of A. Upon this movable support may be placed any desired number of forms or pockets, preferably two on each side of the central division strip D, and inclining whether they be curved or angular.

enough toward D to prevent the vessel from being displaced by the movement of the jar or bottle-holder. These pockets O, may be of metal or any suitable material and should be made to conform in size and shape with the glass vessels, for which they are to be used They are preferably constructed with interior escape openings c, at the lowest point adjoining the division strip D, to permit them to be readily freed from bits of glass and easily cleaned. The pockets may be lined with asbestus or any suitable substance to prevent the danger of cracking when the hot glass vessels are first placed in them.

lhe movable device as above described may be supported by the base M,'the pendent N, or the bracket O, as shown in Figs. l, 2, and 3 respectively, according to the conveniences .of location and may be made to rotate vertically as well as horizontally. At the proper height and distance from the pockets O, I place a T-shaped cut-off composed of the support E and the blade F. The cut-off may be connected with the supports M or O, as shown in Figs. l and 3, orentirelyseparate as represented in Fig. 2; and it is not necessarily restricted to the T form shown.

The simple operation of my device will be readily seen by reference to Fig. l. The glassblower having formed his vessel of the desired size and shape, deposits it in one of the pockets C, and severs the connecting stem upon F. A helper standing opposite turns the filled pocket toward himself and quickly removes the Vglass vessel with his fork or other implement and thus brings the empty pockets into position to be filled by the glass-blowers. In the manufacture of bottles also, my device may be used to receive the bottles as they come from the finisher, for preserving their shape while hot.

Hitherto it has been necessary to provide a helper to roll upon the ordinary rolling board each jar or bottle before it is rigid enough to be safely carried by other helpers upon their forks or paddles to the annealing chamber.

It will readily be seen that my device byA receiving the hot glass vessel in a pocket corresponding to it in size and form prevents any variation in shape, without the need of rolling it, and thus does away with the cost, involved IOO under the old method, in employing so much more labor.

Heving thusldeseribed my invention; vvhat I claim; and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 5 ent, is-

l. A jar or bottle receiver comprising one or more series of pockets adapted in size and form to receive andhold glass vesselsu after; finishing or as they come from the blow-pipe, Io mounted upon a support to be rotated as and for the purpose described. f
