PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means or Apparatus for use in Filling and
Closing Bottles with Aërated Waters or other Liquids.
I, HENRY TIPPING, of 38 Croom's Hill, Greenwich, in the County of Kent,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to means or apparatus for use in connection with the
mechanism employed in filling bottles or vessels with aërated liquids, and for
closing or stoppering such vessels against escape of the contained liquid.
In apparatus at present employed the bottles are held in a suitable support
which is capable of holding the bottle in position during filling with its mouth in
close contact with the orifice of supply of liquid and, the bottle having been filled,
the bottle is reversed from the position for filling to the position suitable for the
stopper assuming its proper position to close the opening in the bottle, and supply
of liquid is cut off by the rotation of the part carrying the bottle and the bottle
when filled, and stoppered, is released from its holder by the movement of a lever
arm releasing the holding parts and the bottle can be passed by hand to a suitable
receptacle.
According to my invention I design to facilitate the removal of the bottle from
its holder and to simplify the operation of parts and for this purpose I form or
connect parts to the parts of the bottle support which rotates to effect the stoppering
and cutting off of supply of liquid so that the movement of the lever or arm for
releasing the bottle when filled and stoppered shall be effected by means of the
same movement say by an inclined course or by means of a cam or pattern surface
to the one engaging a projection from or recess in the other.
Or the lever that operates the filling and stoppering or corking mechanism may
be arranged to engage a forked arm or link or other connection directly, in its
movement and thereby release the lever of the bottle holding mechanism without
separate operation of that lever or other part thereto.

I, HENRY TIPPING, of 38 Croom's Hill, Greenwich, in the County of Kent,

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention relates to means or apparatus for use in connection with the

In apparatus at present employed the bottles to be filled are held in a suitable

been filled the bottle is reversed from the position for filling to the position
suitable for the stopper assuming its proper position to close the opening in
the bottle, and supply of liquid is cut off by the rotation of the part carrying the
bottle and the bottle when filled and stoppered, is released from its holder by the

According to my present invention I design to facilitate the removal of the
bottle from its holder and to simplify the operation of parts, and for this purpose
I form or connect parts to the parts of the bottle support which rotates to effect
the stoppering and cutting off of supply of liquid so that the movement of the
lever or arm for releasing the bottle when filled and stoppered shall be effected by
means of the same movement, say, by an inclined course, or by means of a cam, or
pattern surface to the one engaging a projection from, or recess in the other.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a vertical section, and Fig. 2 is an external view of a turnover frame
in which the bottle is to be held, taken at right angles to the line of section
of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. 1, of a modification of the apparatus, and
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 2 of the modification, Fig. 3.
A (Fig. 2) indicates a portion of the top of the cylinder containing the liquid to
be aerated, supplied by the pipe C from a suitable force-pump, not shewn.
On the top of this cylinder in suitable framing, not shewn, are carried bearings
for a shaft E (Fig. 1) to rotate in. This shaft E carries at one end a turn-over
bottle rack or frame F. E is the shaft and the bearing for the turn-over parts.
On this bearing E' is mounted a cam G against which works a bowl or roller G¹
on a lever H centred at H2 to the turn-over frame H (see Figures 1 and 3) the
part of the lever intermediate of the centre H2 and handle H engaging the spindle
of the bottle holder J: F is the passage for liquid through the frame F.
The cam G serves to release the bottle against the action of a spring J' contained
within the barrel J. As the bowl G' moves to the right the holder J by the
spring J holds the bottle in position during filling. In the modification shewn in
Figs. 3 and 4 the holder J is raised to release the bottle by means of the handle H¹
of the lever H. The bowl G¹ works against the inside surface of a rim or cam
course G³ formed on or projecting from the side of the cam G and by its action on
this bowl G of that lever causing it to lift the holder J free of the bottle and
release it. The bottle when filled is released by the cam G in the return movement
of the turn-over frame F.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. In turnover" apparatus for holding filling and stoppering bottles with
aërated waters or other liquids the combination and arrangement of parts for
effecting the releasing of the bottle from the bottle holding parts substantially as
hereinbefore set forth.
2. In "turn-over apparatus used in filling and stoppering bottles with
" aërated" or other liquids, the combination with the bottle holding device of a
lever or part adapted to release the bottle from its holder, and actuated by the
movement of the same handle or part which operates the " turnover parts as
set forth.
"
3. In "turn-over" apparatus used in filling and stoppering bottles with
" aërated" or other liquids the combination with the bottle holding parts of a
lever or like means operated by a cam or inclined surface adapted to effect the
release of the bottle and operated by the same moving part that operates the
"turn-over" parts as set forth.
