Improvements relating to Apparatus used for Cutting, Grinding,
and Polishing Glass and the like.
We, CHARLES MARLOW, of Pool Street Mills, Pool Street, Aston Manor, in
the County of Warwick, Engineer, and MARY ARCULUS, JOSEPH WARRY, and
GEORGE NOEL ARCULUS, of The Etna Glass Works, 295 Broad Street,
Birmingham in the County of Warwick, Glass Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to parts of machinery used for cutting, grinding and
polishing glass, and the like, and consists in improvements on the invention
described in the English Specification No. 4498, March 22nd 1890, of Charles
Marlow, having for title "An Improved Machine for Cutting, Grinding and
Polishing Glass and such like substances."
The improvements consist chiefly in a novel arrangement of the cutters, in the
mechanism for holding and adjusting the articles under treatment, and in the
apparatus for feeding and distributing the sand or other abradant, by means of
which improvements we are enabled to hold any shaped articles and to operate on
several simultaneously, and to cut, grind, and polish, any pattern or design
required.
In carrying our invention into practice, we provide a frame having bearings
for a horizontal driving shaft, upon which are mounted a series of mills, stones,
lapps or bobs, arranged in such a manner as to be easily adjusted, the shaft being
furnished with the usual driving gear.
At one side of the frame or bed is provided an inclined frame furnished with a
V shaped slide and saddle, and having connected to it at the lower part a series
of levers terminating in a handle. To the top of the frame is pivotted a screw
having a fly nut, the under side of which terminates in a neck to which a forked
lever is attached connected to the inclined frame, the effect of which is to raise
or depress the said frame. When the handle is moved up or down it actuates the
slide and saddle, and causes it to recede from or approach to the mills or cutters.
In some cases we place a slot in the saddle through which the mills work. Or
we may place the mills at the side of the saddle and allow them to work externally.
Or we may use a fixed table instead of the saddle.
To the inclined frame we fit a detachable grid, having a number of bars equal
to the spaces between the mills between which they are lowered by the motion
of the adjustable screw. This grid supports the articles operated upon and the
depth of cut is regulated by the grid and the fly nut on the pivotted screw above
described. The saddle supporting the grid is provided with a series of screw
pegs for adjusting thereto various kinds of holders for holding the glass or other
articles. According to one arrangement this holder consists of a flanged piece
of shaped iron or steel or a box open at top and bottom. One or more of the
articles are held against the holder, while the operator works the lever attached
to the slide producing horizontal or vertical cuts. After the required cuts in one
direction have been made, the holder is turned or exchanged for others of varying
angles or shapes, producing cuts vertical or at any required angle to the first cuts.
Another form of holder comprises a cylindrical frame having a rectangular base
for fixing the same to the grid.
Around the inner circumference of the said frame, a series of V shaped slides
are situated, extending throughout the entire length, equidistant from each other.
We also construct a second frame, rectangular, the four corners of which exactly

page_text: Tour of the V snaped sides between which it is placed, being capable of sliding
freely therein.
A series of screwed bosses are provided along the three sides of the frame,
which carry long set screws, the inner ends of which are furnished with a leather
or indiarubber disc, for the purpose of clipping the bottle or other article between
them, the outer ends being square to allow of a key being used for adjusting.
A template is also employed for adjusting the bottle squarely in the holder,
formed from au iron plate having two angle pieces placed opposite one another,
and two V shaped uprights corresponding to the corners of the holder.
When it is desired to place a bottle in the holder, it is first placed on the plate
between two angle pieces, the holder being then placed over it, the corners fitting
the V shaped uprights sliding down towards the bottle. When the holder is in
its place over the bottle, the set screws are adjusted, holding the bottle securely.
The cylindrical frame is connected to the grid, and the holder inserted with
the bottle in a vertical position. To produce cuts at right angles the holder is
turned round, and for the cross cuts is placed between the other four uprights.
After one side of the bottle is completed, it is taken out and inserted by means of
the template in position for cutting another side.
For shaping and cutting the neck and flange of a bottle or decanter or other
circular article we employ another form of holder consisting of a frame having
attached to it, two adjustable bearings, which are adjusted by a screw, screw box
and hand wheel.
In the bearings is placed a spindle free to rotate and move horizontally and
having at one end a handle or hand wheel, and at the other next to the mills or
cutters, a cross piece having two V shaped arms. A box is also employed having
the same shape as the body of the bottle and fitted with a number of springs which
serve to hold the bottle or decanter tightly. Two of the outside edges of the box
are made to fit the V shaped arms tightly.
When the flange or neck is to be cut, the holder is placed on the grid or fitted
to the side of the machine and the bottle is brought into contact with the cutters.
The handle at the end of the spindle above mentioned is then operated, rotating
the spindle.
Ornamental cutters may be employed if desired for the neck.
This holder may be also used for operating on round or other shaped bottles or
decanters or other similar articles. When used for round bottles a rotary motion
is given by the handle. In polishing the aforesaid articles after they have been
cut, we employ a soft metal lapp with a V or other shaped edge which rotates in
a layer of polishing powder or other abradant. According to our invention we
place two rotating steel rollers at an angle equal to the angle of the lapp, one on
each side, and held against the edges of the lapp by springs. The object of this
arrangement is to keep the polishing powder constantly upon the surface of the
lapp for preserving a smooth surface.
In order to convey the sand and water or other abradant to and from the cutters
or mills we construct a large hopper above the machine, the said hopper being
provided with an outlet pipe in which is a valve consisting of a conical seat in
which fits a plug, the lower end being conical and terminating in a leg, passing
through the seat, the upper end of the plug having a vertical spindle working in a
cross bearing and carrying cross arms to agitate the contents of the hopper.
To the apex of the said spindle is attached a chain, for regulating the opening
and closing of the valve.
Under the outlet of the valve we place a cylindrical sieve or strainer which
retains the lumps of sand and glass, the said sieve being fitted on a vertical spindle
working in suitable bearings, rotary motion being given thereto by bevel wheel
gearing or by a band. This sieve is placed inside a hopper having outlet passages
on either side thereof, furnished with tubular legs, terminating in an inclined
shoot, having a number of divisions equal to the number of mills or cutters to be
supplied with sand and water, cach division of the said shoot being placed over

page_text: each mill or cutter, the flow of sand and water or other abradant being directed
thereto by a metal finger connected to the outlet end of each division.
Beneath the table of the machine we place an apron of sheet iron or other
suitable metal which carries the sand and water dropping from the cutters to a
trough, it being conveyed therefrom to the hopper at the top of the machine by a
bucket elevator by a pulsometer or other self acting arrangement.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Apparatus used for Cutting, Grinding,
and Polishing Glass and the like.
We, CHARLES MARLOW of Pool Street Mills, Pool Street, Aston Manor, in
the County of Warwick, England, Engineer, and MARY ARCULUS, JOSEPH
WARRY and GEORGE NOEL ARCULUS of Etna Glass Works, 295 Broad Street,
Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, England, Glass. Manufacturers, 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 relates to parts of machinery used for cutting, grinding and
polishing glass and the like.
1
The improvements consist chiefly in a novel arrangement of the cutters, in the
mechanism for holding and adjusting the articles under treatment and in the
apparatus for feeding and distributing the sand or other abradaut, by means of
which improvements we are enabled to cut, grind and polish patterns or designs as
required.
In carrying our invention into practice we provide a frame having bearings for
a horizontal driving shaft, upon which are mounted a series of mills, stones, lapps
or hobs, arranged in such a manner as to be easily adjusted, the shaft being
furnished with the usual driving gear. At one side of the frame or bed is provided
an inclined frame, furnished with a slide and saddle, and having connected to it a
series of levers. To the frame are attached suitable means for adjusting it to any
required position. In some cases we have an aperture in the saddle, through
which the mills work, or we may place the mills at the side of the saddle, to work
externally, or use a fixed table instead of the saddle. To the aperture in the
saddle we fit a detachable grid, on which the article is held during the operation
and whose relation to the mills determines the depth of cut.
The saddle supporting the grid is provided with a series of screw pegs, for
adjusting thereto various kinds of holders. According to one arrangement this
holder consists of a flanged piece of ✓ shaped iron, or steel, or a box open at top
and bottom. The article is held against the holder, while being cut. After the
required cuts in one direction have been made, the holder may be turned, or
exchanged for others of varying angles or shapes.
Another form of holder comprises a cylindrical frame, having a base for fixing
the same to the grid.
Around the inner circumference of the said frame, a series of equidistant grooves
are situated. We also construct a second frame, rectangular, the four corners of
which exactly fit into four of the grooves above mentioned.
The work is held in this internal frame by set screws, whose ends are pivotted
to and protected by a disc, or other suitable device. A template is also employed
for adjusting the bottle squarely in the holder, formed from an iron plate having
two angle pieces placed opposite one another, and two V shaped uprights
corresponding to the corners of the holder. To place an article in the holder, it is
first placed on the plate between the two angle pieces, the holder being then placed

page_text: over it, the corners fitting the V shaped uprights, sliding down towards the bottle.
When the holder is in its place over the bottle, the set screws are adjusted, holding
the bottle securely. The cylindrical frame is connected to the grid, and the
holder inserted with the bottle in a vertical position. To produce cuts at right
angles the holder is turned round, and for the cross cuts is placed between the
other four uprights. After one side of the bottle is completed, it is taken out, and
inserted, by means of the template, in position for cutting another side. For
shaping and cutting the top flange of a bottle or decanter, or other circular article,
we employ another form of holder, consisting of a frame, having attached to it an
adjustable bearing, which is adjusted by a screw, screw box and hand wheel. In
the bearings is placed a spindle, free to rotate and move horizontally, and having
at one end a handle or hand wheel, and at the other, next to the mills or cutters, a
cross piece having two V shaped arms. A box is also employed, having the same
shape as the body of the bottle, and fitted with a number of springs or set screws,
which serve to hold the bottle or decanter. tightly. Two of the outside edges of
the box are made to fit the V shaped arms tightly. When the neck or shoulder is
to be cut, the holder is placed on the grid, or fitted to the side of the machine,
and the bottle is brought into contact with the cutters. The handle at the end of
the spindle above mentioned, is then operated, rotating the spindle. Various
shapes of cutters may be employed.
This holder may be also used for operating on round or other shaped bottles or
decanters or other similar articles. For cutting the bottoms of bottles in an
ornamental manner, such as with a star, a box somewhat after the same style as
that described, also provided with springs or set screws is used. This has
a base of polygonal form, and is placed on the saddle in an upright position.
A guide is employed, formed of an angle piece, against the side of which two
sides of the base abut. This holder can be turned round, one side at a time, a cut
being given for each side, so that a star is formed, having a number of points equal
to the number of sides of the holder, or other similar device may be formed in the
same manner. In polishing the aforesaid articles after they have been cut, we
may employ a soft metal lapp, which rotates in a layer of polishing powder, or
other abradant. According to our invention, we place two rotating rollers at an
angle equal to the angle of the lapp, one on each side, and held against the edges
of the fapp by springs or a single grooved roller having a groove of a shape
corresponding to the edge of the lapp.
The object of this arrangement is to keep the polishing powder constantly upon
the surface of the lapp, for preserving an even surface. In order to convey the
sand and water, or other abradant to and from the cutters or mills, we may
construct a large hopper above the machine, the said hopper being provided with
an outlet pipe, in which is a valve consisting of a conical seat, in which fits a plug,
the lower end being conical and terminating in a leg, passing through the seat, the
upper end of the plug having a vertical spindle, working in a cross bearing, and
carrying cross arms to agitate the contents of the hopper. To the apex of the said
spindle is attached a chain or lever for regulating the opening and closing of the
valve. Under the outlet of the valve we place a revolving table, to which a sieve
or strainer may be attached, the said table being fitted on a vertical spindle, motion
being given thereto by bevel wheel gearing or by a band. This table is placed
inside a circular hopper, having outlet passages round the circumference furnished
with tubular legs, terminating in an inclined shute, having a number of divisions
equal to the number of mills or cutters to be supplied with sand and water.
division of the said chute is placed over each mill or cutter, the flow of sand and
water or other abradant being directed thereto by a metal finger, connected to the
outlet end of each division. Beneath the table of the machine we place an apron
of sheet iron or other suitable material, which carries the sand and water dropping
from the cutters, to a trough, it being conveyed therefrom to the hopper at the top
of the machine by a bucket, screw, or worm elevator, or other self acting
arrangement.

A is the frame of the apparatus, provided with bearings for the shaft a
upon which are mounted the mills or bobs B, the shaft being driven by belts
as shown, or in any other suitable manner. The inclined frame C is supported
at one side of the frame A by the bracket C¹, with pin c and pivotted arm c¹ at
the bottom, and the pivotted screw provided with fly nuts c³. This latter
arrangement is shown clearly in Figs. 3 & 4, the arms c at the end of the frame C
being attached to these nuts. On turning the fly nut up or down it will be seen
that the frame C will turn on the end of the bracket C¹, thus raising it off or
lowering it on to the cutters B. The sides of this frame form a slide on which
the saddle D is placed, grooved on its underside to fit the slide. To this saddle
is connected the link d, attached at its other end to the lever ', provided with a
handle, by means of which the saddle is moved up or down on the slide. The
lever is shown mounted on the pin c and is provided with a balancing weight d².
On the saddled is placed the detachable grid E having a number of bars e,
triangular in cross section, with spaces equal in number to the cutters and of a
sufficient width to allow of their edges projecting through, as shown in Fig. 3.
Figs. 6 & 7 show two forms of holder, one for producing vertical and horizontal
cuts, and the other for cross cuts. is the holder, consisting of rectangular
Lshaped iron, forming part boxes in which the bottle is placed, being held in
position by hand. For producing vertical cuts the bottle G is held in the upright
position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 6, against the sides of the holder, being held
in the horizontal position for the lateral cuts. The holder is shown in Fig. 7 with
recesses for two bottles, one of which may be cut in one direction at the same
operation in which the other is cut in the reverse direction, or they may be cut
singly, the bottle being taken, after being cut in one direction, from one recess
and placed in the other for the reverse direction. Figs. 8 to 11 shows another
forin of holder F, with cylindrical frame and rectangular base. The V shaped
slides are placed around the inner circumference of the cylindrical fraine,
eight being shown in the drawings. Between these slides is placed the second
holder F, which is rectangular in shape, the four corners fitting into four of
the V slides. This holder is provided with screws f, having leather or india-
rubber discs at their ends, passing through tapped bosses. These are placed
at the two sides and at the top, and serve to hold the bottle between them,
as shown in Figs. 10, and 11, being screwed up by keys or otherwise, so as to
clip the bottle firmly.
Figs. 12, 13 and 14 show the holder F respectively in inverted plan, side

part of the holder F', showing the base with holes for fixing to the grid.
Figs. 15 and 16 illustrate, respectively in elevation and plan, the template used
for adjusting the bottle in the holder, comprising a base plate H, carrying two
uprights with V shaped grooves, corresponding to opposite corners of the holder.
is an angle piece, against which the bottle G is pressed, the holder being slidden
down between the uprights h, until it is in place over the bottle, the screws f being
then adjusted to hold the bottle. The base plate H has a longitudinal slot H³,
through which pass the screwed pins 2 on the cross pieces h³, being provided with
nuts for fixing them in position. The bottle rests on the top of these cross pieces,
which can be adjusted to any required distance apart by means of the pins and
slot, thus preventing the bottle from being inserted in an inclined manner in the
holder F.
Figs. 17 to 21 show various views of the holder used when cutting the flanges
and necks. The frame J is fixed to any convenient part of the apparatus, and
is provided with a bearing j supported by the thumb screw j', which can be
adjusted, raising or lowering the bearings as required. This bearing supports
the spindle, provided with handle, and two arms, which serve to carry
the box or holder K. This holder is formed with ✓ shaped grooves on each
side, corresponding to the arms j, being capable of sliding along them to any
desired position. The holder is provided with internal springs or clips k, which
serve to grip the bottle or other article firmly. A somewhat similar form of
holder Kis shown in Figs. 22 and 23, for holding round articles, the same kinds
of springs or clips k being employed. When the article is to be revolved to form
the neck or flange, the handle is turned, revolving the arms and the holder K¹.
In order that the holder may not accidentally be turned in the reverse direction,
a pawl and ratchet wheel are provided, the wheel being mounted on the shaft
and the pawl on the frame J.
In order that the star or other ornamental device may be formed on the bottom
of the article, a holder K2 of the form shown in Figs. 24, 25 and 26 is employed.
This holder is provided with springs or clips k, similar to those shown in the
holders K and K', for gripping the bottle, and a specially formed base K³. This
base is formed with a number of sides, preferably of equal length, forming a
regular polygon, and a guide L is provided formed of an angle piece, fixed to
the saddle D or other convenient part, against which the holder rests, the guide
being formed so that its two legs are parallel with, and meet two of the sides of
the holder. The holder can thus be turned round one side at a time, turning
the bottle or other article to be cut a certain angle at each movement, the angle
varying according to the number of sides possessed by the base K³.
When the cutter is in the position shown in Fig. 24, an ordinary star device is
produced with a number of points, corresponding to the sides of the base of the
holder. Fig. 27 shows another form of star which may be produced by these means,
the cutter being placed out of the centre as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 24,
forming cuts tangential to a circle with radius equal to the distance of the edge of
the cutter from the centre of the article.
Figs. 28 to 31 show an arrangement for polishing, Figs. 28 and 30 being front,
and Figs. 29 and 31 side elevations, Figs. 28 and 29 showing one device for keeping
the polishing powder on the surface of the lapp, and Figs. 30 and 31 a slightly
different arrangement. B' is the lapp, rotating in suitable bearings, supported by a
frame A', and dipping in a tray M, holding the polishing powder. On emerging
from this tray, the rollers N or N¹ of a gate or other suitable material serve to
smooth the powder and spread it more evenly on the lapp. Figs. 28 and 29 show
a single grooved roller for this purpose, and Figs. 30 and 31 two rollers held at an
angle. In both cases the rollers are held on the lapp by means of a spring n.
Figs. 32 and 33 are a side elevation and a plan of the hopper O, which

page_text: contains the cylindrical sieve or table P shown in Fig. 1, and rotated from the
driving shaft or by any other suitable means. This hopper is divided into a
number of parts O₁, corresponding to the number of cutters used, each part or
leg opening into the chamber containing the sieve, being arranged as shown in
Fig. 33, at equal distances apart around the centre, so that each leg receives the
same quantity of sand.
At the end of the legs are situated fingers e, for directing the sand better on to
the cutters. These fingers consist simply of small pieces of bent wire or strips of
metal extending on each side of the cutters. The sand or other abradant is
supplied from the large hopper Q, provided at its lower end with valve q, having a
conical seat. This valve can be raised or lowered by means of the chain 7',
regulating the quantity of sand supplied, which falls into a shute leading to the
sieve P. The water to be mixed with the sand is supplied by the pipe 3 which is
provided with a cock in a suitable position, by means of which the quantity
supplied can be regulated at will. An overflow is attached to the hopper Q.
Figs. 34 and 35 show another method of supplying the sand, the use of a table
or sieve being dispensed with. The lower hopper Q is provided with a number of
dividing plates pivotted to the case, and furnished with pins extending into
slots q. The plates can thus be adjusted to any width, regulating the quantity of
sand received by each, the sand being directed on to each cutter by means similar
to those shown, or in any other manner. In this case the hopper Qis oscillated
around a centre or horizontally by means of connections q from the driving shaft
of the machine or from other suitable apparatus. R is a screw or worm elevator,
shown in Fig. 1, used to raise the abradant from the trough r, into which it falls
from the cutters to the hopper Q. .
Figs. 36, 37, and 38 show a modified form of the apparatus, especially adapted
for cutting the necks and flanges of the articles.
The holders shown for this purpose may be used on the larger machine described,
but we prefer to use a smaller and more convenient machine for this purpose. The
mills B are shown of different forms, in order to cut or grind these parts, and as
only one mill is employed, the lower hopper is dispensed with, a shute Q³ only
being connected to the end of the large hopper Q, directing the abradant on to the
mill. Means are shown in these views for holding the valve 7 open to any required
amount consisting of a lever g with tooth taking into a rack 72, which serves to
hold it down until released. The holder J is fixed to the table or saddle D', the
cutters being situated to one side of this table, so that the box K projects over the
mill. In order to adjust the frame C, which is hinged at its lower end the pivotted
rod S is employed, to the upper part of which the end of the frame is fastened, by
means of the screws s, which can be adjusted to any required height on the rod,
raising or lowering the frame. A similar arrangement to that shown in Figs. 1
and 2 is employed to actuate the saddle, the form being altered to suit the machine.
Figs. 39, 40 and 41 are respectively a front and side elevation, and a plan, of a
second modification, for use in cutting the ornamental star or other figure on the
bottons of the articles. The movable frame C is supported by an adjustable
arm C, fixed to a pillar forming part of the frame. This arm provided with a
pin, taking into a slotted link C³, attached to the frame C, so that it can be turned
on its hinge and retained by the pin in any desired position, or the whole arrange-
ment can be raised or lowered by adjusting the arm C. A guard T is provided
on each side of the cutter, which serves to protect it, and prevents the sand from
heing scattered, causing it to fall into the trough. When the star or ornament is
to be cut, the guide L is fixed on the table D, and the holder shown in Figs. 24, 25,
and 26 is adjusted to the various positions required.
