The table i is rotated, to bring the bottles into position, by the bevel and ratchet gearing k, l, n, o, actuated from the bracket f. The stoppering-spindle y is rotated through the pinion x by the toothed quadrant w, which is fixed on the spindle v of the weighted lever u, and is oscillated by the cam s engaging the bowl t, the spindle being raised and lowered by the rod z connected to the quadrant. The spindle has a spring connection with the sliding block 4 in the bead 1, Fig. 4, the grippers 11 pivoted on the block being actuated by the spindle to grip and release the stopper. The snifting-valve is operated by the cam 16 on the shaft 13, which also carries the cam for operating the liquid-supply valve 15, Fig. 4, the cam 16 having three adjustable operative projections, by means of which the snift can be regulated. The cam shafts 13, r are driven by the endless chain q from the shaft c. To obtain a "dry-snift," horizontal passages 18 are formed between the valve casings 2, 3, and the interior of the head 1, Fig. 4, so that, when the block 4 rises above these passages, air is admitted through them to the liquid-supply and snift passages 17, and any liquid lodged therein flows by gravitation into the bottle. Should a bottle be omitted from the machine, the block h is raised above its proper level, and a projection on the slide f actuates a clutch mechanism, which puts the liquid supply and syrup pump cams out of operation, so preventing waste.
