page_text: 1, JOSEPH HENRY BENJAMIN GREEN, of 19 Wood Street, Swindon, in the County
of Wiltshire, Chemist," 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 an improvement in the construction of a machine, to
carry out the operation of coating pills with a tasteless, or any other substance.
The machine consists of a copper cup or rumbler, revolving with an eccentric action
from the bottom of the said rumbler; the top being provided with a square centre
pin, which said pin oscillates in a recess of an arm fixed to the frame; the said centre
pin at the top remaining central, and is secured by a set scrow.
My invention is worked by two bevelled wheels, or bevel gear, driven by a hand
wheel, with an endless cord or belt running over the pulley portion of the driver of
the bevel gear, to drive the follower; above it is fixed the eccentric on which a centre
pin at the base of the rumbler works.
The whole is mounted on an iron frame.
And in order that my invention may be more thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 represents an elevation of the machine.
The handle S works the hand wheel R, on which the cord or belt Q runs in a
groove of the hand wheel indicated by a dotted circle; this aforesaid cord or belt Q
running over a pulley indicated by a dotted circle on the driver P. The hand wheel
and the driver runs on bolts U, screwed to the frame C; these said bolts become the
spindles on which they revolve. The follower O revolves on a centre pin V. Attached
to the follower O, is a recess formed in the shape of a dovetail, in which is inserted
the end of the eccentric M marked L', and held secure by the nut N. The copper cup
or rumbler K is provided with an opening lid H, hinged at J, with a knob F to pull
the lid upwards to insert or remove the pills.
At the bottom of the rumbler K a centre pin L is fixed, to work in the socket M'
of the eccentric rod M, when the eccentric revolves. The top square pin E oscillates
in the recess or opening D¹ of the arm D fixed to the frame C, and is held secure
by the set screw A, in the boss B.
Figure 2, denotes the top of the eccentric M, and the socket M¹ with the end L'
inserted in the dovetail at the top of the follower O, on the pin V, and secured by
the nut N.
Figure 3. is the top of the opening D¹ in the arm D.
The dotted lines indicate the top of the square pin E.
Figure 4, represents the bottom of figure 3.
Figure 5, is a section of the opening D' on line a, b, of figure 3.
My invention may be constructed of any description of metallic substance.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of any said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
First: The combination of the rumbler revolving with an eccentric action from
the bottom, the top remaining central; driven by bevel gear, by the hand wheel,.
and the belt or endless cord running over the same, and the whole mounted on a
frame, substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying.
drawings.
:
Secondly I claim to construct the machine of any metallic substance, and of any
size, substantially as herein described.
Thirdly: The combination of the machine by its action to coat pills with various
substances, substantially as herein described.
:
Fourthly I claim the square pin E, which oscillates in the recess or opening D'
of the arm D, fixed to the frame C, and the set screw A, in the boss B, to hold the
pin E from jumping when the eccentric arm M revolves, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 21st day of February 1889.

Applicant.
