I HARRY SEMPLE of the City of Hamilton, County of Wentworth, Province of
Ontario, Canada, Mechanical Occupation, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in bottle finishing machines, in which a
shaft having an adjustable plug inserted in its end, oscillates in a head stock with, and
in conjunction with two or three angle arms, each arm having a nuckle joint with
socket attached thereto for the purpose of receiving a jaw with shank, and adjusted to
proper position by means of set screws.
The objects of my invention are, first, to provide an adjustable plug to oscillate in
the neck of a bottle whilst hot and, second, afford facilities for the operation of two
or three adjustable oscillating jaws or gaffers to engage with the same bottle neck and
forming the same to any desireable shape.
I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in
which;
Fig. 1. is a side elevation of an entire bottle finishing machine, a part of arm
guide taken away to show two arms in full, and section of guide.
Fig. 2. is an end elevation of the machine through the centre of head stock.
Figs. 3. is a side and end elevation of arm guide and socket adapted for two arms as
shown in fig. 1.
Fig. 4. is an end elevation of arm guide and socket adapted for three arms, and
figs. 5 are enlarged sections of two plugs E¹ both of which are used seperately.
The table A with headstock C secured on the same, the standards B, and B, and the
bearings H, H, and D1, D' constitute the metal framework of the machine.
In the right hand end of the shaft E, (which oscillates in the two bearings of head
stock C) is a plug E' for the purpose of forming the interior of the bottle neck.
The drive pulley D in bearings D' drives the eccentric F with its strap connection F¹
thus giving an oscillating motion to the toothed segment lever G which works in the
fulcrum bearing H, thus transmitting an oscillating motion to the pinion wheel I.

said headstock, thus forming a double machine or two machines.
The socket and arm guide S, is secured on the shaft E which oscillates with the
same, and is for the purpose of receiving the arms M at S¹ (shown in figs. 3 and 4)
and allowing the same to move slightly out or in towards the centre.
Each arm has a knuckle joint N with socket and jaw N so that the ends of the
latter may be raised or lowered from the knuckle joint, the said jaws are held in
position by the set screws N².
These jaws are for the purpose of shaping the bottle neck externally.
When the bottle 0, in case 0¹, with case rod Pl is brought to engage with the
oscillating jaws, the adjustable collar P allows the same to be brought forward a
certain distance, and the said collar engages with the adjustable rest J₁ (adjusted by
the nuts J2) and is brought towards the headstock with the rod J, the said jaws close
upon the bottle neck by means of the clutch lever L sliding the clutch collar L' thus
operating on the lower part of arms M and closing the same with the jaws N. And
when the rod J is moved in the opposite direction the said jaws open, thus freeing the
bottle.

page_text: I, HARRY SEMPLE, of the City of Hamilton, in the County of Wentworth, in the
Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, Mechanical Occupation, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in bottle finishing machines, in which: A shaft
having an adjustable plug inserted in its end, oscillates in a head stock in conjunction
with two or three angled arms, each arm having a knuckle joint with socket attached
thereto for the purpose of receiving a jaw with shank and adjusted to proper position
by means of set screw.
The objects of my invention are first, to provide an adjustable plug to oscillate in the
neck of a bottle whilst hot; and, second, to afford facilities for the operation of two
or three adjustable oscillating jaws or gaffers to engage with the same bottle neck and
forming the same to any desirable shape.
I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the drawings left with the
Provisional Specification, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of an entire bottle finishing machine, a part of arm guide
removed to show two arms in full, and section of guide.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the machine through the centre of head stock.
Figs. 3 is a side and end elevation of arm guide and socket adapted for two arms as
shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an end elevation of arm guide and socket adapted for
three arms. And Figs. 5 are enlarged sections of two plugs E¹, both of which are
used separately.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The table or bench A with headstock C secured on the same, the standards B, and B,
and the bearings H, H and D', D³ constitute the framework of the machine.
In the right hand end of the shaft E, which oscillates in the two bearings of head
stock C, is a plug El secured firmly in the said shaft, and is for the purpose of forming
the interior of the bottle neck.
The drive pulley D in bearings D¹ drives the eccentric F (in the same bearings D¹)
with its strap connection F¹, thus giving an oscillating motion to the toothed segment
lever G which works in the fulcrum bearings H, thus transmitting an oscillating
motion to the pinion wheel I which is secured on the said shaft E, which shaft may
extend out at the left hand of head stock and form a double machine.
The socket and arm guide S is secured on said shaft D, oscillating with the same,
and is for the purpose of receiving the arms at S¹, figs. 3 and 4, and allowing said
arms to move slightly out or in towards the centre; each arm having a knuckle
joint N with socket, and jaw or gaffer N, so that the end of the latter may be slightly
raised or lowered from the knuckle joint, and held in position by set screws N'. These
jaws are for the purpose of shaping the bottle neck externally.
When the bottle Ô in case O¹ with rod P', engages with the oscillating jaws, the

page_text: adjustable collar P allows the same to be brought forward a certain distance, and the
said collar engages with the adjustable rest and is brought towards the head stock
with the rod, the jaws close upon the bottle neck by means of the clutch lever L
sliding the clutch collar L', thus operating on the lower part of arms M and closing
the same with the jaws N, and when the rod J is moved in an opposite direction the
jaws open, thus freeing the bottle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that 'what
I claim, is:
1st. The combination of an oscillating shaft E with one or both ends provided with
an adjustable plug for the purpose set forth and described.
2nd. The combination of oscillating shaft E with plug E' in a headstock Cand
provided with clutch L' arm socket guides S, arms M with joints N', and the
adjustable jaws N, substantially as described.
3rd. The combination of the feed rod J provided with the adjustable rest J, clutch
lever L, collar L, and shaft E substantially as described and set forth.
4th. The combination of collar P, rod P¹, rest J¹, rod J, clutch L, collar L,
guides S, arms M, sockets N', jaws N, and shaft E substantially as set forth.
5th. The combination of the oscillating shaft E, wheel I, segment lever G, and
eccentric F substantially as described and set forth.
6th. The combination of an oscillating shaft E with plug E', arms M, jaws N,
rod J, clutch L, and collar L', substantially as described and set forth.
