Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 4794. Haddan, R., [Pfaff, R.]. Feb. 26. Bottling.-In rotary-table bottling - machines provided with bottle rests operated by pneumatic or hydraulic power, the liquid-supply and airescape passages are controlled by valves, which close automatically and are opened by a fluid-operated device after the fluid has established a sufficient counter-pressure in the receptacle to be filled. Pressure gas and liquid are supplied from a central reservoir 4, Fig. 4, to each of the filling-heads through suitable passages in a stationary plug 2, the shell 3 of which rotates with the filling-heads. In each filling-head is a chamber 21, Fig. 3, containing a diaphragm 22, to which are connected pistons 24, 25 controlling the liquid-supply passage 26 and air-escape passage 31 respectively. Pressure gas is first supplied to the receptacle to be filled and to the chamber 21 through a pipe 18, which branches at 19. When pressure is established, the diaphragm is moved against the action of a spring 23, and the pistons 24, 25 move to the right and open the filling and snift passages. When filling is completed, the filling-heads are connected to the atmosphere by a pipe 35, Fig. 4, and the spring 23 operates to close the valves. Pressure fluid is supplied by an airpump to a chamber beneath each bottle-holder through passages 9, 11, 12, 13, Fig. 4, and, when the bottle-holder is to be lowered at the end of the filling-operation, communication with the atmosphere is established at 34. In the fixed part of each filling-head is a channel communicating with the atmosphere and with the gas passage 19. This channel is closed when the bottle and movable part of filling- head are raised to the filling-position, but connects the passage 19 to the atmosphere when the bottle-rest commences its descent before the discharge takes place at the pipe 35. In a modification of the apparatus, Fig. 9, the pistons 24, 25 are vertical, and the valves are normally held closed against the action of a spring 21<a> by pressure fluid admitted at 8 and acting on the diaphragm 22. When pressure fluid is admitted to the chamber 21, the valves are opened.
