A Machine for Chipping Glass Marbles or Stoppers as Used in the
Manufacture of Glass Bottles.
THOMAS BUTTON, Mechanic, 48 Farbrough Hills Road, Barnsley and JAMES BINNER,
Mechanic 56 Park Road, Barnsley do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
In the manufacture of glass marbles or stoppers for glass bottles, when the are
taken from the moulds, the runner or get has to be chipped off by hand chippers,
In the machine we completely do away with hand chipping, as for instance we make
a shaft fitted with eccentric or crank and a second or rocking shaft, connected
to crank or eccentric by a rod, on the rocking shaft we fix a lever with moveable
centres for increasing or diminishing the stroke of the steel chipper; on this rocking
shaft we secure at each end a steel blade or chipper working up against an upright
piece of steel secured to bedplate, this plate has holes drilled at suitable centres, and
for different size marbles or stoppers, the whole is mounted on a cast iron bed plate
with pedestals for rocking and crank or eccentric shafts.

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 :---
In the manufacture of glass marbles or stoppers, when they are taken from the
moulds the runner or get has to be chipped off by hand chippers, In this machine we
completly do away with hand chipping, as for instance. we make a shaft fitted with
an eccentric or crank, connected to a second motion rocking shaft, on this second
motion shaft is fixed a lever with moveable centres for increasing or decreasing the
stroke of the steel chipper, and on the same second motion shaft we secure at each
end a triangular piece of Hardened steel working against an upright piece of
Hardened Steel, rectangular in form with holes drilled and countersunk for to receive
the marbles or stoppers of different sizes. The whole is mounted on a cast iron
bed plate with pedestals, and small belt pulleys for driving same.
The following is a description of the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a sectional clevation.
Fig. 2 is a plan view.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation from chipper end of machine.
A is a cast iron bed plate with pedestals cast on for eccentric & rocking shaft.
B is the eccentric shaft with eccentric fitted thereon C. ( are two sinall belt
pulleys fast & loose for driving the machine. D) is the rocking or second motion
shaft shewing steel chippers E. E and lever connected thereto. FF is the upright
rectangular piece of hardened steel with countersunk holes drilled as shewn on the
accompanying sheet of drawings.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
1st. The motion given to the steel chippers by the eccentric or crank in combination
with the form and shape of steel, chippers, general arrangement and construction of
the same.
