page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Maurice Bauer, Civil Engineer, of the Firm of M. Bauer
and Co., 30, Boulevard Magenta, in Paris, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS
IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR ORNAMENTING AND MOULDING THE NECKS
OF GLASS BOTTLES AND SIMILAR ARTICLES." A communication from Mr. Felix
Rozan, of Marseille, in the French Republic.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Maurice Bauer at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 4th May 1880.
MAURICE BAUER, Civil Engineer, of the Firm of M. Bauer & Co., 30, Boulevard
Magenta, in Paris. "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR
ORNAMENTING AND MOULDING THE NECKS OF GLASS BOTTLES AND SIMILAR
ARTICLES." A communication from Mr. Felix Rozan, of Marseille, in the French
Republic.
This Invention relates to certain improvements in apparatus for forming the
necks of bottles, demi-johns or carboys, flagons, and similar articles of glass, crystal,
ceramic, or earthenware material.
This improved apparatus consists of two metal fork arms on each outer end; on
the inner surface thereof is fitted or screwed a plate. In these plates and on
vertical axles fixed therein are running sheaves or rollers having their peripheries
formed or cut as dies, and revolving and carrying on their exterior sides periplieral
festoons, designs, engravings, or any kind of inscription that may be desired for
different requirements.
The dies can be fixed in their places or be removable at will, according to
necessity or requirement, and both of the said dies may be engraved, or one only
and the other left plain; or the apparatus can be worked with one die only if so
required.
The sides of these dies project, and this projection can be diversified according to
the relief required to be given to the design or inscription.
The diameter as well as the height or thickness of the dies can be increased or
diminished, subject to the size of the article to which they may be applied.
These running sheaves, rollers, or dies can also be used plain, without any
engraving, and will thus mould the neck of the bottles of plain form.

page_text: The metal used for producing these dies is bronze or gun metal, but any other
metal suitable for engraving purposes can also be adopted.
The running sheaves, rollers, or dies can be prepared to all kinds of designs and
inscriptions, and this method is suitable for the ornamenting or external marking
of all kinds of necks of bottles, demi-johns or carboys, flagons, decanters, or any
other article in glass, ceramic, or earthenware material.
Between the fork arms and in the upper part is fitted a perpendicular bar or rod,
having at the other end a plug or support made in any suitable form, which plug
will be introduced into the neck of the article being operated upon.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said Maurice Bauer in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 1st November
1880.
MAURICE BAUER, Civil Engineer, of the Firm of M. Bauer & Co., 30, Boulevard
Magenta, in Paris. "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR
ORNAMENTING AND MOULDING THE NECKS OF GLASS BOTTLES AND SIMILAR

Republic.
This Invention relates to certain improvements in apparatus for forming the
necks of bottles, demi johns or carboys, flagons, and similar articles of glass, crystal,
ceramic, or other earthenware material.
The apparatus is represented in the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, whereon
Fig. 1 and
are vertical front and side views, and Figs. 3 to 10 represent certain
necks of bottles provided by means of this Invention with various improved
engravings.
This improved apparatus consists of two metal fork arms A, A, on each outer
end; on the inner face thereof is fitted or screwed a plate B.
In these plates B and on vertical axes fixed therein are running sheaves or rollers
having their peripheries formed or cut as dies, and revolving and carrying on their
exterior sides peripheral festoons or designs, engravings, or any kind of inscription
that may be desired for different requirements.
The dies D, D, can be fixed in their places or be removable at will, according to
necessity or requirement, and both of the said dies may be engraved, or one only
and the other left plain, or the apparatus can be worked with one die only if so
required.
The sides of these dies D, D, project, and this projection can be diversified
according to the relief required to be given to the design or inscription.
The diameter as well as the height or thickness of the dies can be increased or
diminished, subject to the size of the article to which they may be applied.

page_text: These running sheaves, rollers, or dies D, D, can also be used plain without any
engraving, and will thus mould the neck of the bottles of plain form.
The metal used for producing these dies is bronze or gun metal, but any other
metal suitable for engraving purposes can also be adopted.
The running sheaves, rollers, or dies D, D, can be prepared to all kinds of designs
and inscriptions, and this method is suitable for the ornamenting or external
marking of all kinds of necks of bottles, demi johns, carboys, flagons, decanters, or
any other article in glass, ceramic, or earthenware material.
Between the fork arms A, A, and in the upper part is fitted a perpendicular bar
or rod, having at the other end a plug or support C made in any suitable form,
which plug will be introduced into the neck of the article being operated upon.
The apparatus will be worked in the following manner-The bottle, the neck of
which is to be engraved, is to be fitted on the support C, after which the arms A, A,
bearing the dies are to be pressed together, and thus enclosing, pressing, and
stamping the neck of the bottle upon rotating the tool.
Having now described the nature and particulars of the said Invention, I
|claim,
The apparatus characterized by the running sheaves or dies D, D, lodging in and
revolving on their respective axles in the plates B, B, supported on the arms A, A,
as herein described and shewn.
In witness whereof, I, the said Maurice Bauer, have hereunto set my hand and
seal, this First day of November, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight
hundred and eighty
MAURICE BAUER. (L.S.)
