ARTHUR B. PARK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BOTTLE-WASHING MACHINE.
SPECFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 728,754, dated May 19, 1903. Application led .Tuly 8, 1902. Serial No. 114.803. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern..-
Beit known that I, ARTHUR B. PARK, a citizen of the United States,residng at NewYork, in the county of New York and State of New 5 York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle -Washing Machines, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention pertains to improvements in machines lfor washing Siphon-bottles and the like, the construction and ad vantages of which will be hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the annexed drawings, wherein- Figure l is a front elevation, partly in section, of the apparatus; Fig. 2, a side elevation; Fig. 3, a top .view illustrating a modified form of driving mechanism.
One object of my invention is to provide a simple and efficient machine for washing siphon-bottles and the like in which the strain to which the bottle is subjected on account of the action of the brushes will be evenly distributed by reason of the movement of the brushes or brush -sections in opposition to each other.
A further object of the invention is to provide means for drying or wiping the bottle as it is withdrawn from the apparatus.
Other advantages than those incident to the construction just referred to will hereinafter appear.
The same reference-letters will be applied to corresponding parts throughout the following description.
Referring to the drawings, A denotes the base, which may be of any suitable form and from which extends upwardly a suitable support or column B. Secured to the upper end of the column is a two-armed bracket O,which forms a support for the cylindrical shells or casings D, two being shown in the present instance. Extending upwardly from the base are columns or supports E, in which is journaled a shaft F. Said shaft carries fast and loose pulleys GI-I and also has mounted upon plan view, and Fig. 4 a- A shaft K, having its lower end mounted in a bearing-block L, formed in or secured upon the base, extends up into the cylindrical casing, as best shown at the left in Fig. l. The shaft has secured to its upper end a spider or frame M, to which are pivotally connected brush-sections N, four being employed in the construction shown. Each brush-section is arranged in the form of a bell-crank or L, with the bristles extending inwardly toward each other, as will be clearly seen upon reference to Fig. 1. A second spider O is mounted within the cylindrical casing and carries a series of upwardly-extending arms P, to which are pivoted the brush-sections Q, the lower ends of the sections standing in alinement with the upper. ends of the lowermost brush-sections N ,while the upper ends of said sections Q are inclined inwardly toward each other, so that the brush-sections Nand Q, considered as a Whole,'take the general outline of a Siphon-bottle or the like. The spider O is provided witha downwardly-extendingsleeve or collar R, which encircles the shaft K and passes through a downwardly projecting Sleeve S, formed upon the bottom of the cylindrical casing. Suitable ballbearings-such, for instance, as shown in Fig. l-will be employed intermediate the parts in order to render the machine light running and to take up the thrust and wear of the bearings. Sleeve R has secured to it a band wheel or pulley T, while shaft K has likewise secured to it, near its lower end, a similar band wheel or pulley U. A band or belt V is passed about the w-heels I I J J and the corresponding pulleys T and U, and by reason of their location, as shown, the spiders M and O will be rotated in reverse or opposite directions, so that the lowermost brushsections N will travel in a direction in opposition to that taken by the other sections Q. From this it will be seen that when a bottle is in place between the brush-sections the action of one set of brushes tending to -rotate the bottle in one direction will be odset by the action of the second set of brushes which tends torotate it in a reverse direction. The pivoting of the brushes permits them to fit closely to the outer face of the bottle being cleansed and likewise permits the ready insertion and Patented May 19, 1903.

brushes. It is manifest, of course, that any form of driving mechanism which will accomplish the same result may be employed-as, for instance, that shown in Fig. 4.-, wherein a shaft W, provided with fast and loose pulleys, carries bevel-gears X and Y, which mesh with corresponding bevel-gears Z Z', carried, respectively, by the shaft K and sleeve R.
Mounted within'the upper end of the cylindrical casing and carried by the top plate or cover a thereof is a perforated pipe b. The perforations in the pipe are directed downwardly, so as to supply water to the brushes and against the bottle being operated upon. The pipes of the various casings will be connected to a common supply, as c.
Secured to the cover a. and projecting inwardly from the walls of the opening formed therein is a rubber ring d, which serves to Wipe and dry the bottle as it is withdrawn from the cylindrical casing. This ring is held in place by a ring or Washer e, which permits the ready removal and replacement of the rubber ring when necessary.
A suitable drainfis provided at the lower end of each of the cylindrical casings D, which, if desired, may be connected with a common discharge-pipe.
It is manifest that in so far as the details of construction are concerned the invention may be modified Awithout departing from the spirit thereof. One cylindrical casing may be used alone, though it is preferable to employ two, for the reason that an attendant can be withdrawing a cleansed bottle and replacing it by one which requires washing while the brushes in the other casing may be operating upon another bottle.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim isl.
