Abstract: 12,536. Goltstein, E. Dec. 8, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Stoppering; capsuling and sealing bottles.-Relates to apparatus for applying capsules to bottles, the essential parts being identical with those described in Specification No. 10,450, A.D. 1902. The features of the present invention consist in connecting rigidly to a frame the annular support T which holds the plunger Rand rubber ring G, also in pressing the bottleneck up into the capsule,and depressing the plunger to expand the rubber ring. The bottle is placed on a stand A, which may be raised or lowered by a cord K, connected at J to a foot-lever D, and passing over movable pulleys C, N, L and a fixed pulley M. The first action, when the lever is depressed, is to raise the pulley C and the spindle on which it is mounted, lifting the bottle-neck into its capsule. Further depression causes the lever U to be pulled down by the rod-holding pulleys L, N. The tubular plunger is thus driven down on to the rubber ring, which forces the capsule into intimate relation with the bottle-neck. A spring W raises the lever U and pulleys L, N when the lever D is released.
