SPEGIFIOATION forming part of Letters Patent No. EQBJ LY, dated July 20, 1897. Application filed October 7, 1896- Serial No. 60$;10B. (No model.) Patented in England June 23, 1894,1l'0. 12,191.

' ing at Gibbon. Street, Bolton, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented a new and useful Bottle-Filling Machine, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in England, hearing date June 23, 1894, and numbered 12,191,) of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to improved mechanism which is designed with the view of providing suitable means for filling bottles with liquids, as caster-oil, glycerin, medicinal. compounds, sauce, or other liquids which are not bottled under pressure; and the object of the invention is to produce machinery that may be regulated so that it maybe operated entirely by the feet of the user, whose hands are thus at liberty to supply empty bottles thereto and to take them away when they are iilledfthe said machinery being further arranged to operate with equal advantage on liquids more or less n'iscitl as on those of greater fluidity. To attain this object, I pro duce mechanism, illustrated in the accompartying sheets of drawings, in whieh- Figures 1 and l are front and side elem lions, respectively, of a complete machine. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation on line 0. b of Fig. 5. Fig. i is a sectional elevation of a portion of the machine on line c d of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a view of the machine as seen from above. Figs. 6 and 7 are part sectional elevations showing modifications of bearings for supporting bottlesto be filled. Fig. 8 is a view of parts shown by Fig. l}, as seen from above. Figs. 9, 10, and 11 are similar views to Figs. 1, 2, and 5, respectively, butare illustrative of amodiiication hereinafter described. A indicates the framework of the l'uaehine. On the front of this framework is umuntcd the sliding part f, which is arranged so that it may be .niovcd vertically on the operator placing his foot on the pedal g, pivoted at g and connected thereto by the link g the op eratorbcin assisted in the moving of this sliding part by means of the counterbalancing-weight 70, secured to the lever it, which is pivoted to the framework A at 7L and pivotally secured to the sliding partfby the pin 7:. ()n the front or miter-surface of the sliding part f is secured a table or stand is, upon which the bottles are placed and rest while they are being filled. This stand 7; is secured by adjustable bolts f f in the sliding part f, so that its positionat a higher or lower distance from the t'opof said plate may ,be regulated to meet the requirements of smaller or larger bottles that are to be filled, as will be well understood. This table '70 isprovided with a perforated drip-traymto 001-" lect any of the liquid which may run over or be spilled, so that by a waste-pipe m,passing through to the back of the framework A, such liquid as is caught by the said drip-tray m may be conducted thereby to any suitablereceptacle.

At the upper part of the framework. A, I ar range an appropriately-formed delivery or cut-oil valve 71, through which the liquid to be bottled has to pass. The valve a I preferably construct with a chamber a and a dis-- charge-nozzle n in the bottom, so that the stem or spindle a of the valve a may pass through the top, so that it. may be operated by the lever o, to which it is attached at 0', and which lcv r is pivoted at 0 Themovements of this lever o are obtained either by a separate pedal arrangement or, as herein shown, by the rod 1:) coupling same to the sliding partf, such rodp carrying adjustable nuts 2) and p the said nuts 1) being prefer-- ably adjusted so that the vertical movement of the sliding part f is nearly completed before these nuts come in contact with the lever 0 to raise it, by which means the entrance or approach of the nozzle 12. into or near the bottle being filled is SOCllll'GClllOllOlQ the valve is operated to allow the liquid to flow therethrough, while on the downward movement of the sliding part f the valve is first shut through the action of the spring 0, by which means the bottle may not be removed until. the flow of liquid is absolutely shut off.

The discharge-nozzle a is screwed into or otherwise rcmovably attached to the valvechambcr a, so that it may readily be displaced for the lixiug of one of larger or smaller size, as may be required for usein CO11I1BC- tion with small. or large bottles or for meeting the requirements of the fluidity of the liquid being bottled. A series of these non nice it may be carried by the framework of the machine, shown at n to enable these is connected to the delivery cut-off valve n and is provided with stopcock q, -which may be used for entirely shutting off the ilo'w o he liquid Whenever desired.

wwas.vinodiliedfarm .ofieblels for supportin g the bottle be observed This table 70 is mountthe height of the liquid cannot as it is being; filled in. ed upon pivoted levers end boxes r, into which Weights may be pieced in order to adjust or counterbalance the table 70'' and anything placed thereon, so that when the desired quantity hes been filled into the bottles on this table 7:, the Weight thereof is reguleted to exceed the Weights in the boxes 7*, by which means-the other ends of the levers ere depressed moved so that a projection "r strikes the hammer r? of the alarm-bell v' Thus the operator is warned or informed at the proper time to enable him to release the pedal and close the valve end to stop the supply 'of liquid to the bottle.

When the mechanism is intended for bottling heavy oils or other liquidswhich ere rendered lessdensebgbeetpilld lilbly 1321 9 Q is formed with a; coil g burner s or a jet or. lamp (or this might be displaced by e lamp or other heater) can be placed and covered with an asbestos-lined cover 8, by which means the oils or other liquids are heated to facilitate their flex 1 through the valve it.

,under which a gasiVhen liquids containing substances that require agitating, so that the ingredients are more thoroughly mixed together, are to be bottled, the coiled part q of the supply-pipe is displaced by receptacle If, in which it per- 1 foreted pistonor agitator t" is hinged at 25 this being op died by being coupled to the slide f, through the medium of the rods it u "and love Mend h, so that eteecli movement of said slide this agitator is operated to effect the desired results.

In operating the machine thebottle is placed upon the table it. ,The pedal. 9 is actuated by the foot, raising the sliding port 1 with the r shown by Figs. 6, 7, ond fl is" adopted for filling opaque bottles in which a", which carry at one 1 part fend table 70 fell, thus shutting the valve which may tbenbe end lo rering said bottle, iemcved and an empty one pot in its place.

Such beingthe nature and object of my invention, J

Wide X claim is 1. In mechanic 1 for filling bottles the combination oi a, verticellymoving slide, pedalend-lever mechanism for operating said slide, en edji table table to be filled secured to said slide, a cutoff valve for regulating the flow of liquid, the lever 0 connected with the stem of the valve, and the rod p connecting the'slide with said lever and having adjustable nuts p p to operate on op posite sides of one end or" the lever, substan tielly as herein specified.

2. in mechanism for filling bottles, the combinetion of e verticellymioveble slide, pedaland-lever mechanism for operating said slide, a table for supporting the bottle to be filled and edjnstably connected with the slide, e supply nozzle, a valve for controlling the fiow through the nozzle, the lever 0 connected with the stem of the valve, eepring o for moving said lever downward, and, the rod 1) connecting the slide with said lever and having the adjustable nuts p" p to operate on opposite sides of the lever, substantially as described.

' ln mechanism forfillingbottles, the coinbinetion of a vertically-movingslide, pedelend-lever mechanism for operating said slide, an adjustable table supporting the bottle to be filled attached thereto, a cut-cit valve for regulating the flow of said liquid, means for operating said cut-oif valve end means for receiving end agitating the liquid to be fi led into said bottles the liquid-n i-tetor being connected with said slide.
