Title: Improvements in Bottle Washing and Rinsing Machines.
Inventor: POLNISCH PAUL
IPC: B08B9/36
Filed: 1910-03-05
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 5556. Polnisch, P. March 5. Bottles, washing.- Comprises a machine of the kind in which inverted bottles in crates are carried by a frame or spider rotating intermittently about a vertical axis, so that the bottles are rotated to a position above combined brushes and jets over which they are lowered, after which they are raised and rotated to another position, lowered over rinsing-jets, again raised, and finally rotated to a position for removal. Fig. 1 is a plan of the machine, and Figs. 3 and 5 show the machine in side and end elevation respectively. The spider 95 slides on a sleeve 52, which is rotated intermittently by a toothed segment 54 gearing with a bevel-pinion on the sleeve. The spider rests on an outer sleeve 78 which is reciprocated by a crank-pin working in a slotted link 59 on a rod 81 connected to the sleeve 78. The slot in the link is shaped so that the sleeve 78 is stationary for two periods in each revolution of the driving-shaft, during one of which the spider is rotated through a right-angle, and during the other both sleeves are stationary. The weight of the spider is counterbalanced by a weight 71. The sleeve 78 carries a tray 84 provided with downward tubular extensions 87 which are in line with brush spindles 32 rotated by toothed gearing in the base of the machine. The spindles are hollow and are supplied with water from a reservoir below the gearing-box 4. The water from these spindles falls into a trough 9. At the side of the machine is a trough 136 having rinsing- spindles 137 supplied from a reservoir 134. The inverted bottles are placed in crates 158 on a spider arm at the side of the machine. The spider is first raised by the sleeve 78, and then rotated by the sleeve 52 until the bottles are over the brush spindles, after which it is lowered, and the bottles are washed and brushed. As the spider is lowered, the bottles are pressed down on the spider by a loaded tray 111 having spring pads 116. This tray is pivoted on a sleeve 99 resting on the spider, and is adapted to be raised when the inner end of a sliding lever 122 encounters an adjustable stop 132. The spider is next raised again, during which operation the tray 111 is raised by the stop 132, and the washed bottles are' rotated until over the rinsing-jets, while another set of dirty bottles is brought over the brushing-jets. At the next rotation of the sleeve, the first set of bottles is removed. The water supply to the jets is cut off except when the bottles are over the jets, by a rod 148 connected to the counterweight levers. The tubular extensions 87 of the tray 84 serve the purpose of squeezing the dirty water out of the brushes as the tray moves up and down with the sleeve 78.

Roasting-furnaces; charging and discharging; charges, agitating.-Ore-roasting furnaces are formed with independent superposed hearths having separate fire-places and are provided with one or more rows of water-cooled or other rotary rabbles of which those at the firing end are driven at a greater speed than the remainder. The arms on a rabble shaft when in position are arranged in different vertical planes, and the apertures in the furnace crown through which the rabbles are introduced are closed by slides inserted through the sides of the furnace. The discharge shoots are provided with flap valves which are arranged to prevent dust from passing back to the furnace; these flap valves and the screw conveyer employed for charging are operated by connexions with the rabble-driving shaft. The fire-places 3, 4, Fig. 6, are arranged at one end as shown and are provided with vertically-sliding balanced doors and with air-inlets 48, 49, and additional fire-places may be provided at the sides towards the middle of the furnace. Separate damper-controlled passages lead from each hearth to the outlet flue. At the firing end, the rabbles are water-cooled and are driven at twice the rate of the remainder. Plugged apertures 91, 92, Fig. 9, are provided and the shafts are formed in lengths so that the arms 89, 90 may be arranged out of vertical alinement. The water first descends the rabble shaft, and after circulating through the arms is discharged by a nozzle 38<a>, Fig. 6, into a trough 13. Each rabble is introduced through an aperture or casing 11, 12, Fig. 8, which may be afterwards filled with blocks 102 resting on flanges 103 and is provided with a sliding plate 99. At the bottom the rabble shafts rest on bearing-posts 67 arranged in recesses 5, 6. Ore is charged into each chamber of the furnace by a screw conveyer 86, Fig. 10, driven by chain gearing from the rabble driving-shaft, and the casing 87 is provided with a removable end casting 9 to facilitate cleaning. To prevent dust from passing back into the furnace, the discharge shoots 111, Figs. 12 and 14, are provided with normally-closed flap valves X, Y, the spindles of which are connected by rods 109<a>, 110<a> to levers having rollers, &c. 124 fitting against the face of a disk 117 secured to the rabble shaft 37. This disk is provided with a projection 118 which causes the levers 109<a>, 110<a> to oscillate so that when one valve is open the other remains closed. A discharge shoot is preferably arranged for each hearth, and when four flaps are used alternate flaps are connected to the same rod and lever. Each shoot is provided with a door or cover 108, and is formed with bevelled ribs above or inclined recesses below the flap valve. A flap may form part of the hearth and may be fitted with a slide over it which is moved when discharging is desired. Specification 28,464/03 is referred to.
