Title: An Improved Machine for Capsuling Bottles.
Inventor: LUMLEY MAITLAND
Filed: 1911-03-22
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 7215. Lumley, M. March 22. Capsules, applying.-Relates chiefly to bottle rests, but capsuling-heads are described. A vertically-movable bottle-support is locked in position during the capsuling process by the thrust of a bottle encountering the capsuling- head. A bottle rest 21, Fig. 1, is carried on a slide 20 connected by a pivoted member 22 with a slide 19 .operated by levers 18 and a handle 9. As soon as a bottle on the rest 21 encounters the capsuling head 12, the slide 20 is locked. The upward movement of the slide 19 tilts the part 22 about its pivot 23 against the action of a spring 36, thus drawing up a conical pin 32, Fig. 5, so as to force a roughened surface 28 against a roughened vertical stem 3 and thus lock the rest 20 in position. The surface 28 is normally kept away from the stem 3 by a pin 29 and spring 33. As soon as the bottle rest is locked by the bottle neck x, Fig. 7, encountering the head 12 a cam 7<a> operated by the handle 9, Fig. 1, and spindle 7 presses downward a sleeve 9<a>, Fig. 7, and compresses a rubber ring 11 to complete the capsuling. A member 13 controlled by a spring 15 allows sufficient play to prevent breakage of the bottle. In a modification, Fig. 9, which is power-driven, the capsuling-head is operated by a crank 52, rod 54, and hollow pin 55. When a bottle is placed upon the support 21, it remains stationary till it encounters a pin 62, Fig. 10, which moves downwards, carrying the bottle support with it till the support is locked against downward movement by a rod 82, Fig. 9. The rod is operated by a plate 88 on a sleeve 56. Between the rod 82 and the plate 88 are springs &c. 85. The rod 82 engages a member provided with a roughened surface which locks the stem 68 of the bottle support. The member is pivoted to rods 80, which by means of a weight 81, Fig. 9, normally keep the roughened surface out of contact with the stem 68. The stem and bottle support are kept in their normal or highest position by a weight 71 attached to a line 72 passing round pulleys 73, 74. When the bottle support is locked against further downward movement, the capsuling-head completes its operation.
