I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co. Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex, 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 consists of an improved method and means for corking bottles, and
securely wiring the corks thereto, all as hereinafter more fully described.
Referring to the accompanying drawings in which, like letters indicate corresponding
parts in all the views ;

Figure 17 is an enlarged elevation of the cut off mechanism.
Figure 18 is an enlarged section taken on line y, y Figure 6. and
Figure 19 is a transverse section taken on lines, z, Figure 6.
In order to facilitate the description of this, the preferred example of this invention,
the mechanism is divided, into various steps as follows, viz. the feeding devices for
feeding the wire; the compressor mechanism for compressing the cork; the plunger
and its mechanism for inserting the cork, and mechanism for turning the wire over
the bottle and cork, and the cut-off mechanism for cutting off the wire.
Mounted on suitable supports A', is the main frame A, of any desirable form
material and dimensions. B, B, are uprights rising from the frame and supporting
the main shaft C and the plunger and compressor mechanism. A pulley D is loosely
mounted on the shaft C, and transmits motion thereto when locked therewith by the
clutch O on said shaft. The clutch O is operated by depressing the pedal Q, which
movement is transmitted to the clutch by the pivoted lever R. The opposite
extremity of the main shaft C, is journalled in the upright B³ and provided with a
worm E meshing with a worm gear El on the cross shaft F, which transmits motion
to the wire carrier shuttle. A gear G on the shaft (moshes with the gear G¹ on a
cross shaft H, and transmits motion thereto.
The wire carrier I consists of a frame supporting two reels 7, 7, or spools of wire,
and is provided with projecting lugs, to which are pivoted the shuttle jaws a, a, having
their forward extremities rounded and forced together by the spiral springs a',
Figure 6. The separate strands of wire are tensioned by being wound one or more
times around the shuttle jaws before being fed from the extremities a². The wire
carrier 1 is secured to the shaft by means of the set screw passing through the
hub L, and has a rectilineal movement towards and from the bottle support J, and an
up and down movement with the shaft F as a pivot.
Provided at one extremity of the banger U is the hub U' pivoted to the shaft F,
and at the other extremity thereof is the bearing a sliding in the slot c¹ of the
post. X rising from the frame A, Figures 6, 11 and 12. Projecting laterally from
one side of the hanger U is the bearing to which the set screws and secura
the forward extremity of the parallel rods, f, having the opposite extremities
socured to the hub U₁ by set screws 5 and 6.
The rear end of the shaft 6 is supported in the bearing and is provided at
its extremity with the bearing a mounted on the rods fand f, and sliding rectilinearly
in the hanger U. Secured to the bearings d is the roller e, constantly contacting
with the cam & mounted on the shaft F by means of the weight Y secured to the cord 3
passing over the pulley 2, and fastened to suid bearing by a screw 4, as in Figures 11
and 12. The end of the shaft & is turned down or reduced in diameter at 6 providing
a shoulder which bears against the forward end of the sliding bearing d, while a
collar e' secured at the extremity of the shaft securely connects the same to the

page_text: bearing d.
The shaft is provided near the forward extremity of the hanger U
with an elbow bearing Z' supported from beneath by the extremity V2 of the pivoted
lever V, the opposite extremity of which is provided with the friction roller V1
contacted with the cam h on the shaft F Figures 15 and 16. As the shaft F rotates
the tooth of the cain riding against the friction roller V' depresses said extremity,
raises the opposite extremity, and elevates the wire carrier to allow the same to pass
over the top of the bottle when the cau i forces the carrier forward. When the
depression in the cam contacts with the roller V, the wire carrier is then
lowered.
On the shaft is mounted the gear gl having a spline secured thereto sliding
in a longitudinal groove in said shaft, securing the gear to the shaft during its
longitudinal movement when the wire carrier is moved towards and from the bottle
support. Meshing with the gear is the gear g secured to one extremity of the
shaft H, on the other extremity of which is mounted the gear G³, meshing with the
gear G adapted to be locked with the motor shaft (.
The extremity of the shaft H carrying the gear G₁is pivoted to the shaft G by
the T-bearing Z, and with said shaft as a pivot, the cross shaft H oscillates with the
shaft thus keeping the gears g, g' in mesh, and rotating the shaft H irrespective of
its position. On the shaft H back of the gear is provided the hearing e baving a
vertical movement in the slot c² of the post X, mounted on the main frame.
shoulder 47 on the bearing c bears against the two part face of the said post ✗, and
keeps the gears g, g', in mesh.
A
In Figure 7, the wire carrier is shown as in its first movement towards the bottle,
at the end of which the shuttle jaws a are above the top of the bottle with a sufficient
length of wire extending forwardly therefrom and twisted together. Immediately the
plunger is operated to force the cork between the shuttle jaws and partly into the
bottle. The weight Y then forces the roller e into the cut-out of the cam i, and
retracts the carrier, and also the jaws, which ride around the cork against the action of
the springs a, and as soon as the jaws are clear of the cork, they are rotated by the
shaft Has presently described, and thereby twist together the separate strands of
wire.
The carrier moves backward until a sufficient length of wire is twisted to extend
over the top of the bottle and down to the ridge of the neck when the cork has been
driven home into the bottle carrying the wire with it.
After the said rearward
movement the carrier is again forced forward by the opposite wing of the cam i, and
when the wire is slack as shown in Figure 12, the plunger is actuated to completely
insert the cork into the bottle.
The cam is so timed with the cami that when the shuttle jaws are again moved
over the top of the bottle the smaller portion of the cam h contacts with the end VI of
the rocking lever V, allowing the shuttle jaws to drop down with the oscillation of
the shaft 6 and encircle the neck of the bottle, as in Figure 15, bringing the wire over
the top of the cork, and down to the ridge of the bottle neck.
The wire carrier is again moved backward, and the shuttle jaws are drawn around
the bottle against the action of the springs a applying the separate strands of wire
beneath the ridge of the bottle neck. As soon as the jaws are clear of the bottle
neck, they are rotated as before by the connection to the shaft H. During this
rearward movement of the wire carrier, the cam his rotated and the large part
thereof forces downward the end V' of the rocking lever and elevates the shaft to its
normal position. After a sufficient length of wire has been twisted together by this
last rearward movement of the carrier, the wire extending from the bottle and cork is
twisted together over the top thereof and cut off from the carrier as presently
described.
The gear G loosely mounted on the shaft C is provided with a clutch face, which is
engaged by the clutch p secured to the shaft and sliding thereon, thus locking the
gear to said shaft and by means of the cross shaft H, rotating the shaft & when the
shuttle jaws a are retracted clear of the cork and of the bottle. The sliding section pl
of the clutch is operated by the clutch dog 11 secured to the rod m which is mounted

page_text: in the bearings (Figure 18 and is actuated by the engagement of the cam m³ with
the extremity m², of said rod. A spiral 12 retracts the sliding section of the clutch
after the cam m² has passed said end m³.
The wire carrier has two movements backward from the bottle support in securing
the wire to the cork and bottle, and consequently the cam m² is provided with two
cam teeth suitably timed with the cam i and of sufficient length to twist the required
length of wire. The cam m is supported on the arms 48, 49 and 50 and is adjustable
thereto by means of set screws passing through slois in the cam rim.
When in their normal position the shuttle jaws stand in a horizontal plane and it is
necessary that the rotation of the shaft b shall be so timed as to leave the jaws in said
position at the commencement of each forward movement in order that they may
embrace or encircle either the cork or the bottle neck and to effect this result, the
mechanism illustrated in Figures 8 and 18 is provided.
To forked bearing A' is pivoted the lever said lever being provided with the
forked stud F guiding the pawl lever H also pivoted to said bearing A². The
lever His provided with a stud 15 adapted to engage the notch 14 of the gear G and
constantly forced towards the gear by the spring 51. The upper end of the lever F
is provided with an angular stud bearing a friction roller, riding in the groove 13
of the sliding section of the clutch. When the clutch is operated to lock the gear G
to the shaft, the shoulder 52 of the lever presses the pawl lever H away from
the gear Gand disengages the pawl hook 15 from the notch 14 and as the sliding
section of the clutch is retracted the spring 51 forces inward the lever H' engaging
the pawl hook 15 with the notch 14.
In order to make certain of stopping the rotation of the carrier at the precise
point, two notches 14 are provided in the gear G at the right point to stop the
carrier.
The compressor S' supported on the bracket. S projecting from one of the
uprights B mounted on the frame A is composed of two parts one of which is
semi-tubular in form and provided near its exit with a bulb or swell 52. The
other portion of the compressor is hinged at 26 to the semi tubular portion and
serves to compress the cork when rocked on its pivot by means of the rod s
hinged thereto at 21 and extending backward through the slot 20 in the bracket B.
The swinging jaw of the compressor is segmental in shape and corresponds in
contour interiorly to the semi tubular portion thereof. The bracket or support S is
provided with a slot 29 in which ride the friction rollers 30 mounted on the
projecting extremities of the hinged pin 21 thus guiding the movement of the
compressor.
At Figure 10 the compressor is shown in its normal position, the hinged section
being drawn backward opening the compressor to receive the cork. The compressor
rod hinged at 21 to the compressor S¹ is journalled in the rocking bearing A¹
pivoted to the upright A³ mounted on the table. On the rear extremity of the rod s
is provided a friction roller which by means of a spiral 18 interposed between the
collar 19 and the upright E is forced against the periphery of the cam « loosely
mounted on the shaft C. When as presently described the cam u by the clutch
p is locked to the shaft the cam forces forward the rod s impelling forward
the hinged compressor jaw and compressing the cork to a suitable size, or perhaps
a little smaller than necessary to freely enter the bottle and by means of the
slots 29 forcing the compressor into close proximity with the top of the bottle.
The compressor thus forms a guide for the cork and the bulb 52 therein allows
the cork to swell slightly after being compressed to relieve any creases which may
have been formed during its compression.
Immediately upon the approximation of the compressor to the bottle, the
plunger P supported in guide-ways 23 and P of the brackets 22 and P³, is
actuated to insert the cork partly into the bottle. The plunger is connected by a
link to the walking bean W pivoted to the bearing W of the cross piece B¹
mounted on the uprights B B. Connected to the opposite end of the walking
beam by a link is the depending rod t passing through the guide bearing

page_text: secured to the upright B and provided at the extremity with the friction roller t¹
contacted with the cam by means of the rod 31 and the spring 37 connected
thereto as in Figure 9.
In order to secure the compressor in a fixed position when the cork is forced
therethrough into the bottle neck, the lever is hinged to the compressor bracket
or support S and is provided with a hook 28 which engages the projecting hinge
pin 21. On its opposite end the hook K' is provided with the projection 27 lying
in the path of a rod P' carried in a collar P secured to the plunger P.
In Figures and 10 it will be seen that the cam is so timed that after forcing
the cork into the bottle for a short distance, perhaps a quarter of an inch the
further movement of the plunger is arrested momentarily by the shape of the cam
in order to permit the wire carrier and its shuttle to secure the wire to the cork
as previously described. Immediately after the said operation of the wire carrier,
the cam actuates the plunger to force the cork into the bottle and the downward
movement of the plunger P collides the finger P¹ with the projection 27 of the hook
lever K disengaging the same from the Linge pin 21 thereby releasing the com-
pressor, whereupon it is retracted to its open position by the spiral 18.
The cams t and secured together are loosely mounted on the shaft C and provided
with the hub projecting through the bearing B. As shown in Figures 6 and 8 the
hub of the said cams is provided with a clutch face adapted to be engaged by the
clutch p, having secured thereto a spline which rides in a longitudinal groove in the
shaft Supported in the bearings C and C is the rod having the roller
adapted to be engaged by the cams, projecting from the same wheel carrying
the cams m², m² secured to the shaft F. On the opposite extremity of the rod lis
the clutch dog 7 engaging the groove 8 of the clutch p and actuated to move the clutch
into engagement with the clutch face of the hubs of the cams t and when the
cams impinge the roller 1. A spiral 9 interposed between the bearing C
and the collar 24 throws the clutch pout of engagement after the passage of the
cam 12.
After the cork has been forced into the bottle by the second cam lª engaging the
cam t with the shaft C, and operating the plunger P to the limit of its movement, the
end w of the wire is laid over the top of the bottle by the hammer N provided with a
spring shank N connected to a pinion N so as to turn inward when the pinion is
rotated. Secured to the shaft F is the cam & having notches 39 and 40. Pivoted to
a bearing, mounted upon the table, is the lover having a stud 38 normally forced
against the periphery of the cam k by means of a spring 41, interposed between the
said lever and the table. Pivoted to the upper extremity of said lever k¹ is the rod k²
connected at its opposite extremity to the rack Na engaging the pinion N
When, as the cam k rotates, the stud 38 engages the notch 31, the lever k is rocked,
causing the rack N to turn the pinion N, and lay the extremity w of the wire over
the top of the cork, as in figures 13 and 14. By the further rotation of the cam, the
stud 38 is forced ont of the notch 39, retracting the hammer N.
The hammer N operates during the last retraction of the wire carrier, and after the
completion of said retraction pivoted arms M, which embrace the bottle, as in
Figures 11, 12, 15 and 16, are turned upwards catching the bight of the wire formed
by the forward movement of the wire carrier. As the rotation of the arms M
continues, the projecting end we of the wire previously laid over the top of the cork, is
also engaged thereby, and the bight and loose end are held impinged between the
said arms, whereupon the bottle is rotated, thus twisting together over the top of the
cork the twisted extremities of the wire.
Immediately upon the operation of the bottle revolving mechanism, the notch 40
engages with the stud 38 of the lever ; which again oscillates the hammer N, and
contacts the same with the shoulder n of the adjacent pivoted jaw M, which jaw is
provided with a sharp edge actuated thereby to cut off the wire.
The arms M are mounted on shafts or spindles M M having at their opposite
extremities gears 32. Secured to one shaft M is the crank lever M figures 6 and 9,
which is connected by the pivoted rod 33 to the eccentric lever provided with a
F

page_text: friction roller lying in the path of the cam; rotating on the shaft F. The cam
rotating with the cams i and h collides with the friction roller of the lever 1,
thereby rocking the same and retracting the rod 33, thus actuating the crank M² to
rotate its shaft M, and throw up the arms M, which are geared together.
The support Jis mounted on the suruw J, and has a gear or pinion 44, which turns
loosely thereon. The gear 44 is provided with a clutch face held by means of the
spring 60 normally in engagement with a clutch 45 formed on the collar J. The
screw J¹ is journalled in suitable bearings supported on the upright of the machine,
and the collar Ja bears upon the upper face of one bearing thus supporting the lower
end of the screw J. By loosening the set screw 43 in the collar J³, the screw may
be used to adjust the bottle support to the desired distance from the plunger and
compressor.
A ruck Kineshes with the pinion 44 and rotates the same by means of the
connecting rod I jointed to the lever L. Motion is communicated to the lever L
by means of the cam i, which collides with the friction roller L secured on a
projection of said lever. When the can i impinges the friction roller L', it forces
the lower end thereof towards the bottle, and as the pinion is rotated its clutch face
engages the clutch 45 thus rotating the bottle support. The spring 49 returns the
lever L to its normal position, retracting the rack, and the pinion 44 is elevated ont
of engagement with the clutch 45 against the action of the spring 60, thus preventing
the reverse rotation of the bottle support. This movement of the pinion 44, which is
made light in weight is allowed by reason of a space interposed between said pinion
and the bearing for the screw J.
The cam is so timed with the beforementioned parts of the machine that after
the previous operations have been performed upon the cork securing the same in
its normal position within the bottle with the extremities of the wire projecting,
the said extremities are twisted together over the top of the cork. Immediately after
this operation the hammer N is actuatel to cut off the feeding end of wire from
the shuttle jaws.
The lower end of the bottle is held snugly in the bottle support by being forced
into a rubber socket J secured in side of the circumferential flange projecting above
the bottle support.
The operation of my invention will be readily perceived from the foregoing, and
upon reference to the drawing. A bottle is placed upon the bottle support, and
motion is cominunicated to the machine by dopressing the pedal Q; the wire carrier
moves forward over the top of the bottle; the plunger partially inserts the cork; the
wire carrier is retracted, and during this retraction is rotated twisting together the
strands of wire, securing the wire to the cork; the wire carrier is moved forward,
and simultaneously the plunger completely inserts the cork; the wire carrier when
again over the top of the bottle is depressed, and is then retracted catching the
wire beneath the ridge of the bottle neck, and during this retraction the shuttle jaws
are again revolved to twist together the separate strands of wire; the hammer N is
actuated to lay the projecting extremity of the wire over the top of the cork after
the cork has been driven into the bottle: the wire carrier is again moved forward,
and the arms 3 M are swung upwards catching the bight of the wire, and the
projecting extremity laid over the top of the cork; the bottle support is then rotated,
and the hammer N actuated to cut off the wire.
When it is desired to remove the cork from the bottle, it is simply necessary to
untwist the ends of the wire, and turn them from over the top of the cork and the
neck of the bottle, and again twist them together with the fingers, and insert a pencil
or other implement in the bight, thus forming a draw wherewith the cork may bo
readily withdrawn from the bottle without the use of a cork screw
implement.
or other
