PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Machine for the Filling of Bottles, Jars,
and the like.
I JOHN GEORGE FAUVEL of 23 Augustus Street, Regent's Park London N.W.
Mineral Water Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in machines for the filling of
bottles, jars and the like the object being to employ a rotating table upon which
the bottles, jars or the like containers shall be rested after the introduction to the
mouths thereof of the syphon filling tubes.
The liquor to be bottled will be supplied to a reservoir mounted upon the central
rotary spindle which also carries the rotating table aforesaid.
The syphon nozzles are hinged upon the upper edge of the tub or reservoir and
when tilted up out of the bottle neck their inner ends which extend into the
supply reservoir will close down onto a valve seat so as to close the ends of the
syphon tubes.
When the bottles are placed upon the rotating table below the supply reservoir
the syphon tube discharge ends are inserted in the mouth of the bottles jars or
receptacles and will run off from the supply reservoir into the bottles, jars another
receptacle so much of the liquor to be bottled as will suit the case (whether
syruping or filling in the contents). Upon the proper quantity having been
drawn off and filled in the hinged syphon tubes will be turned up so as to close off
and to prevent the further supply or discharge of liquid. The said central-
spindle-bottle-stand and supply container will be arranged over and above a basin
or well-shaped portion of a main table (to which the operators will stand in working
the machine) and any over flow of liquor will be received in the said basin or well
of the table from which same may be drawn off as required.
Below the table is arranged a bevil wheel or other suitable gear upon the main
central shaft of the machine and this will be driven by a second gear or by pulley
or band off a treadle motion or otherwise by power as may be convenient.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Machine for the Filling of Bottles, Jars,
and the like.
I JOHN GEORGE FAUVEL of 23 Augustus Street, Regent's Park, London, N.W.
Mineral Water Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in machines for the filling of
bottles, jars, and the like the object being to employ a rotating table upon which
the bottles, jars, or the like containers shall be rested after the introduction of the
mouths thereof to the syphon filling tubes.

page_text: The liquor to be bottled will be supplied to a reservoir mounted upon the central
rotary spindle which also carries the rotating table aforesaid.
The syphon nozzles are hinged upon the upper edge of the tub or reservoir
supplied with the liquor to be delivered to the bottles or jars to be charged or
filled. When the syphon nozzles are tilted up out of the bottle or jar neck their
ends projecting into the supply reservoir will close down into a valve seat so as to
close the ends of the syphon tubes.
When the bottles are placed upon the rotating table below the supply reservoir
the syphon tube discharge ends are tilted forward and inserted in the mouth of
the bottles, jars, or receptacles, and will run off from the supply reservoir into the
bottles, jars, or other receptacles, so much of the liquor to be bottled as will suit
the case (whether for filling in the contents or for syruping the same).
Upon the proper quantity having been drawn off and filled in the hinged syphon
tubes will be turned up so as to close off and to prevent the further supply or
discharge of liquid. The said central-spindle-bottle-stand and supply container
will be arranged over and above a basin or well shaped portion of a main table (to
which the operators will stand in working the machine) and any over-flow of
liquor will be received in the said basin or well of the table from which same may
be drawn off as required.
Upon the central shaft of the machine (preferably below the table) a bevel
wheel or other suitable gear will be provided and this will be driven by a second
gear or by pulley, or band of a treadle motion or otherwise by power as may be
convenient when it is desired to impart motion to the filling container or the
rotating table.
In the drawings accompanying this specification there is illustrated a construction
of apparatus according to this invention and the same will be referred to in the
following description thereof by figures and letters, like letters indicating similar
parts.
Fig. 1. is an elevation the parts to the right hand of the figure being shown
partly in section.
Fig. 2. is a plan of Fig. 1.
A is the reservoir containing the supply of liquid to be filled into the bottles,
jars, or containers (not shown).
B the bottle resting table. C the save-all well or trough for receiving the
spillings. D are the hinged and weighted syphon filling tubes.
The reservoir A and table B, are mounted upon the central shaft A', which is
shown with a hollow shaft A, carrying the collar B¹, of table B, A, is a cottar pin
passing through the shafts A¹ & A, C, is a bearing collar for shaft A' to pass
through (this may be water-tightly packed as desirable) said bearing collar C¹,
being fitted in the bottom of the save-all trough C. C³, indicates a lead off pipe
from trough C.
The syphon tubes D are shown hinged (conveniently) to the upper edge of
supply reservoir A, by the hook-ended straps d and cross pins D', so providing for
removal or interchanged of the syphon tubes D, and also for the requisite
rocking or tilting motion of said syphon tubes as before indicated. Counterpoise
weights d', are shown applied to the syphon tubes D. Inside the supply reservoir
there are provided, as indicated at A', seatings for closing off the inner ends of the
syphon tubes D, when the supply or discharge of liquid is temporarily suspended.
Moreover the syphon tubes may (when the full number is not required to be used)
be removed from their hinged mountings.
In some cases the table B may alone be made to revolve, by omitting the
cottar A³, and giving motion to the loose shaft A2, independently of the shaft A'.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what means the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
(First.) The improvements in mean sfor filling liquids into bottles and the like,

page_text: characterised by the reservoir A, the table B, and the hinged syphon tubes
substantially such as D, constructed combined and operating as and for the
purpose herein set forth.
(Secondly.) In a bottle filling machine as herein set forth the combinations of
parts herein described in reference to and shown by the drawings.
