Abstract: 24,153. Boult, A. J., [Epstein, M.]. Oct. 18. Bottles, washing. - Comprises a machine for washing bottles and removing the labels therefrom, in which the inverted bottles are carried by an intermittently moving conveyer over a series of nozzles from which water at increasing pressures and different temperatures is forced into and about the bottles. Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of the machine in side elevation, Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation, and Figs. 6 and 7 show details of the bottle-carriers. The machine comprises a series of tanks 11, 12, 13, 14, supplied with water by a pipe 43, and separated from each other by double partitions 16, into which the waste water overflows. The water in the tank 11 is warm, that in the tank 12 is hot, in the tank 13 the water is warm, and in the tank 14 it is cool for rinsing. The water in the first three tanks is heated by steam from a pipe 22. Pumps 34 draw water from the four tanks and deliver it to series of jets 40, each pump working at a higher pressure than the preceding one. Each jet series comprises a number of pipes 40 connected together at one end by headers 105 and having nozzles 49. The distance between the pipes 40 can be adjusted by means of unions having right and left handed threads which engage the headers 105. A number of the jets over the tank 14 are supplied with water direct from the main pipe 43 by a branch 47. The bottles are' carried on the top run of a conveyer, which passes round pulleys 25, 26, 27, 28, and comprises a pair of endless chains connected together at intervals by double bars 78 attached to lugs 75. The chains comprise links 68, Fig. 7, which are formed at one end with bosses 69 which serve as bearings for friction rollers 70. The conveyer is driven intermittently by any convenient mechanism represented at 29, and the bottles are delivered at the end of the run to a conveyer 56. The bottles rest on supports 80 which are bolted to the bars and are provided with tubes 85 which enter the bottles and direct the water from the jets 49. The space between the bars is divided into compartments for single bottles by members 87, which are fixed between the bars, and are connected together at their top ends by rods 97. An adjustable cover 54 prevents the bottle from being forced out of the conveyer by the force of the jets. Endless-netting conveyers 50 extend over the tanks 11, 12, beneath the bottles, and carry the labels removed therefrom to a bin 111 at the side of the tanks, jets 55 being provided to cleanse the conveyers before they pass over the tanks again. Baffle-plates 57, 58, are fitted in each tank to prevent any sediment from being drawn out by the pumps through the pipes 38.
