Bottling; stoppering. - Relates to machines for filling bottles with aÙrated or carbonated liquids &c., and for closing them with seals or stoppers such as are described in Specification No. 19,039, A.D. 1901. The bottle is placed on the rest 32, which is supported by a spring 35 on a stem 31 connected by the toggle mechanism 27, 26, 24 to the arm 22 of the operating - lever 20. By raising this lever, the bottle is raised to the filling- head 73, where it is locked during the filling and closing operations by the toggle-links 27, 26 passing beyond the line of centres. A stop 26<1> is provided to limit the movement of the links. The lever 20 also operates the piston 13 of the syrup pump 7, through the rod 15 and yoke 14, an adjustable pin- and-slot connection 17, 18 being provided in this operating-mechanism, to enable the effective stroke of the pump, and consequently the quantity of syrup delivered, to be regulated. The pump may also be put out of action when not required. The syrup is forced through the pipe 8, which contains a non-return valve, into the mixing-chamber 6, from which it is delivered with the aerated liquid through the tube 51 into the bottle. The liquid is supplied from a suitable source through the pipe 60 to the chamber 6, the supply being controlled by the cock 59, Fig. 8, which is operated through the link 57<1> and lever 55 by the tappet 54 on the end of the lever 48. The tube 51 is connected by a link 49 to the lever 48, and is reciprocated thereby within the tube 52, Fig. 3, synchronously with the opening and closing of the supply valve, the lever 48 being actuated through the rod 43 from the hand-lever 37. In the position shown in Fig. 3, the lateral aperture 53 of the tube 51 lies within the tube 52, so that the liquid cannot escape from the chamber 6. When the lever 37 is depressed, the tube 51 is moved longitudinally until the aperture 53 is clear of the tube 52, thus permitting the syrup, and the liquid supplied by the opening of the cock 59, to pass into the bottle. The snifting-valve 69 is operated by the tappet 68 through the connections 63, 62 from the handlever 61. The stoppering-plunger 81, which is of the kind described in Specification No. 7657, A.D. 1902, is actuated from the treadle 75 by the rod 78 and yoke 80, and is provided with an inserting or seating rod 82 and two spring- controlled locking-rods 83 for inserting and locking the seals or stoppers described in Specification No. 19,039, A.D. 1901. The plunger may also be adapted for applying other seals requiring a similar mechanical movement for their insertion.
