PILL MAKING MACHINE.
APPLIOATION 11.11) APR. 15, 1909.
Patented Apr. 11, 1911.
JESSE CANBY MORGAN, 0F CLIFFSIDE PARK, NEW JERSEY.
PILL-MAKING MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed April 15, 1908. Serial No. 427,286.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Jnssn CANBY MORGAN, citizen of the United States, residing at Cliifside Park, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Pill-Making Machine, of which the following is a specification.
' This invention relates to power driven machines for making pills from dry, comininuted substances by compressing a predetermined quantity of the substance into a pill of the desired shape.
The invention is directed to the provision of an improved construction of such machines whereby the work of adjusting the parts preparatory to making the pills is greatly facilitated.
In preparing for operation with these machines it is necessary to accurately adjust the parts so that just the right amount of.
powder will enter the cavity therefor each time so that the pills will be of exactly the right size and weight. This has always been accomplished with difficulty in machines heretofore devised of which I am aware, principally because the frequent changes necessary in ascertaining the proper relation of the parts could be made only by reaching under the table and adjusting parts which could not be seen.
The object of this invention is to provide a construction in which this difliculty is overcome.
The preferred embodiment .of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a top view of the sleeve, Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the die-block, Fig. 4 is a top view of the die-block, Fig. 5 is an elevation of the upper plunger and Fig. 6 is a similar view of the lower plunger.
Referring to these drawings the die-block B has a central opening provided with threads H, this opening extending almost all the way through it, and a small opening through the block from the bottom of this threaded opening. This small opening is counter-sunk and receives the end of a die G provided with a flange which fits in the counter-sink as shown. The top of the die has a depression therein of the form desired for the lower portion of the pill. The sleeve A is exteriorly threaded and is adapted to be received in the threaded opening in the die-block B. The upper end of the sleeve extends above the die-block and is enlarged as shown. The sleeve has a central opening E therethrough into which the die G projects when the sleeve is properly located in the opening in the die-block. The upper plunger C is shown in Fig. 5; its lower end is adapted to enter the opening E in sleeve A from the top, so as to compress the powder in that opening between the lower end of plunger C and the upper end of die G. The die Gr has a small opening through it adapted to receive the stem D shown in Fig. 6, this stein being raised after the pill has been made, so as to eject the pill.
The die-block shown in Fig. 3 is adapted to be clamped in an opening in a suitable supportor table so as to hold it rigidly. The amount of powder which will be compressed to form a single pill is the amount required to fill the opening E in sleeve A from the top of die G to the upper surface of the sleeve. An adjustment of this amount can be readily made by turning sleeve A in the opening in the die-block B, the threads H then moving the sleeve relatively to the dieblock B and die G. Vith this construction such adjustment can be made very readily and by working above rather than below the table, or support, upon or in which the die-block B is mounted.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is as follows Mechanism for making pills comprising a die-block having an interiorly threaded opening, a die mounted within the said block, an exteriorly threaded sleeve threaded into said opening and having a central opening therein to receive the die, said sleeve extending above the die-block to permit of adjusting its position relatively to the dieblock from above the latter, and a plunger adapted to enter the central opening in said sleeve and coact with said die, substantially as set forth.
