Abstract: 6515. Robinson, A., and McFarlane, A. E. March 17. Wiring corks.-Relates to a machine for wiring .a bottle to retain a cork, or for fixing to a cork a wire withdrawing-device, the withdrawing-device, Fig. 7, being described in Specification 6310/13, [Class 125 (iii), Stoppers &c.], and the corkretaining device being shown in Fig. 5. In one form of the machine, a corked bottle, or a cork, is placed on a stationary rest, Fig. 1, and a wire-carrier r is mounted on a travelling head adapted to be advanced in a curved path to lay two single wires m, Figs. 1 and 2, previously twisted at t, around the neck of the bottle or around the cork. The bead is then retracted in a straight path, and the wire.carrier rotated to twist the wires at x. The head is then advanced again in a curved path to lay the twisted strand over the cork, and then again retracted to lay a second loop around the neck of the bottle or cork, whereupon the carrier is finally rotated, and the wires are severed by cutters d. After rotation, the carriershaft is brought to rest in the position shown by a spiral spring f. The wire holder is moved in the path described by a crank, the pin of which works in a vertical slot formed in the travelling bead, the throw of the crank limiting the forward and rearward movement. In another form of the machine, the cork, or corked bottle, is mounted in a rotary holder and the wire-carrier advanced and retracted in a path as described above. Or, the cork, or corked-bottle, holder is advanced and retracted, and also rotated, the wire-holder being stationary. In all cases, the arrangement makes a continuous length of alternate twists and single wire loops, two single loops being around the bottle or cork with diametrically opposed fixing twists, and the intermediate twist being located over the top of the cork or closed bottle.
