' specification.

My invention consists of a device enlbodying means for presenting adhesive material so as to be applied to a. bottle, etc., by bringing the latter in contact therewith, furthermore of means for returning the surplus material to the suppl 'ng vessel, and next of means for r'eplenis ing said vessel with fresh material, as willbe hereinafter described, the novel features being pointed out in the claims.

.For the purpose of explaining the inven-' tion, the accompanying drawings illustrate a satisfactory. reduction of the same to practice, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific'arrangement and organization shown and described.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of an adhesive-material alpplying device embodying my invention. 1 2 represents a longitudinal section thereo Fig. 3 represents a transverse section thereof. Fig. 4 represents a artial end View and partial vertical section of a part of the device.

Similar letters of reference indicatecorres onding parts in the figures.

eferring to the drawings :A designates a casing or vessel within which are the vertical partitions forming the well B, in which is located the lun er C, which is tu'bular or of the form 0? a s eeve, the same depending from the follower D, a portion of the floor of which at the top of sald sleeve being perforated forming the diaphra E on which is supported the pad F of a sorbent material, the same being adapted to have a bottle placed thereon and have a side thereof in contact with the pad. The follower has a depending rim G, which enters the casing A and provides a guide for the former in the descending and ascending motions thereof.

On the bed or cross piece J at an end of the follower is a pad or cushion H of pliable material, whichin the present case is retained in position by the lips J which rise from said piece and embrace said pad as Specification of Letters Patent.

most. plainly. shown in Fig. 4. Connected i with the ad acent end of the casing A is the funnel or supply receptacle K, the same hav mg a bottom '1, in which is a port M, the

same being over the pad H, so that in the normal position'of parts, said padis in contact with said bottom, whereby the port in the latter is closed, said port and pad acting after the manner of a valve and valve seat.

In the well 0 is the block N, on the top of which is sustained the springs I. which" are adapted to have the follower l) rested thereon, so that when the latter is depressed, .701

said springs are contracted and the sleeve C,

is caused to descend and dip into said well.

around said block. In the sides of said sleeve are ports Q for overflow purposes, as

will be hereinafter 'more particularly 're ferred to. Surrounding the pad F and adjacent portions of the floor of the follower is a wall R, which serves to inclose a bottle and retain it-true when on said pad 1 The cas? lng A is seated in a pan or tray S, which is p adapted to receive the drip of the adhesive: material from said casing.

The operation is as followsiSuitable ad hesive material is poured into the Vessel A and so fills the well B to the proper height,

said well constituting the font of the device, the funnel K being also supplied with ad hesive material. An article, say a bottle, is placed on the pad F and pressed downwardly, whereby the follower D descends and owing to the sleeve C, the material in the well is forced against and through the diaphragm E and injected against said pad, thus'saturating the same and thereby applying the material to the bottle, the latter then being removed and found ready for a labeling operation, the movable parts then returning to normal position. As the follower and conse-' quently the sleeve descends and the'material in the well is subjected'to press'ure by the diaphragm E, some of the material over= flows through the ports Q, into the casing A and so returns to the well, as indicated by the arrows 1, thus relieving the pressure on the material in the sleeve. As' the cross piece or bed J descends with the, follower, the cushion N lowers from the of the funnel K, thus uncovering the port M, when a quantity of material flows through the cushion H and enters the casing A and so supplies the latter with fresh material, re-

plenishing the casing or well therein. When v the cusliionI-I closesaga'inst the port and so prevents the further flow of material from thefunnel.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is f 1. In an adhesive -material applying-device,- a font, a follower thereover, means for movably supportin said follower, an absorbent ad on sai follower, a supplying reeeptac e, anda valve intermediate of sai receptacle and font, said valve being adapt- 'ed to be controlled by the motions of said follower.

2. In an adhesive material applying device, a vessel, a supplying receptacle on said vessel, the same having an outlet port, a

follower, and means on said follower adapted to be moved against and from said port to close and uncover the same respectively.

3. In an adhsive-material ap lying de-.

vice, a vessel, a plunger adapte to enter the same, a resilient support for said plunger, whereby the latter may be returned to and held in normal position, a foraminous diaphragm connected with said plunger, an absorbent piece-on said diaphra m, a material-supplying receptacle for sai vessel, the same having an outlet valve, and a seat connected with said plunger adapted to open and close said valve by the motions "of said plunger.

4. In an adhesive material applying device, avessel, a plunger therein, a foraminousdlaphragm earned by absorbent on said diaphragm, said plunger being provided with a port for the overflow material therein on the descent of the same.

5. In an adhesive-material applying de- 'cate with said vessel, and a valve and valve receptacle and font, the same beinfg said plunger, and 'an vice, a vessel, a movable member in said 40 vessel and an absorbent carried b the same said absorbent being ada ted to e supplie with adhesive material om said vessel, 11- supplying. receptacle adapted to communiseat respectively on said receptacle and member, said valve being adapted to be opened and closed by said seat by said movable member. 7

6. In an adhesive-material applying device, a font, a plunger adapted to dip into the latter, a slidable follower carrying said plunger, a piece of absorbent material on the open bottomof said follower, a stationary suppl -receptacle for adhesive material, the same eing in communication with said font, and a valve and valve seat respectively on said slidable follower and stat onary supply-receptacle. V

In an adhesive-material applying device, a' font, a block partly occupying the same, a follower above said block, a plunger depending from said follower and adapter to dip into said font around said block, and a resilient support f r said follower adapted to be seated on said block.

8. In an adhesive-material applyin -device, a font, a material-ap lying fol ower supported thereover, a su lymg receptacle in communication with s'al font, and a antomatically-acting valve intermediate of said adapted to be controlled by the motio said follower.
