An Improved Device to be used in connection with Apparatus for
Capsuling Bottles and the like with Cemented Capsules.
We, BETTS AND COMPANY LIMITED, of No. 1, Wharf Road, City Road, in the
County of London, and WILLIAM NIMMY, of 4, Oakley Road, Southgate Road,
Islington, in the said County, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide a convenient device for use with
apparatus for capsuling bottles and the like with cemented capsules, such as are
described in the Specification of our application for Letters Patent No. 21217, dated
the 24th September 1896. The said device is for the purpose of conveniently
effecting the damping of the neck of the bottle, or the like prior to capsuling which
damping is necessary in applying the aforesaid cemented capsules.
According to this invention we support in a suitable holder preferably consisting
of two connected plates an absorbent material such for example as sponge. In the
said holder or plates, and in the sponge or other absorbent material employed, are
orifices of a size such as to allow of the passago of the neck of a bottle or the like
so that the sponge, or other absorbent material comes into contact therewith. Tho
said sponge, or other absorbent material, is maintained in a sufficiently damped
condition, which may be effected, for example, by providing a holder for water with
n tap, or the like, through which water drops in proper regulated quantity from the
said holder onto the sponge, or other absorbent material.
Dated this 1st day of April 1897.

An Improved Device to be used in connection with Apparatus for
Capsuling Bottles a d the like with Cemented Capsules.
We, BETTS AND COMPANY, LIMITED, of No. 1, Wharf Road, City Road, in the
County of London, and WILLIAM NY, of 4, Oakley Road, Southgate Road,
Islington, in the said County, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
Lion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-
This invention has for its object to provide a convenient device for use with
apparatus for capsuling bottles and the like with cemented capsules, such as are
desoribed in the Specification of Letters Patent No. 21217 granted to us and dated

page_text: the 24th September 1896. The said device is for the purpose of conveniently
effecting the damping of the neck of the bottle or the like prior to capsuling, which
damping is necessary in applying the aforesaid cemented capsules. The accom-
panying drawing represents in front view in Figure 1 and in vertical section in
Figure 2, a device constructed in accordance with this invention.
According to this invention we support in a suitable holder preferably consisting
of two counccted plates (one (a) being formed with an annular flange and the
other (b) being secured to it by screws 6 or otherwise so as to leave a space between
the two plates) an absorbent material such for example as sponge which is contained
in the said space between the plates as shewn at c. In the said plates a and b and
in the sponge, or other absorbent, material, employed, are orifices d, of a size such
as to allow of the passage of the neck of a bottle or the like so that the sponge, or
other absorbent material, comes into contact therewith. The said sponge, or other
absorbent material, is maintained in a sufficiently damped condition, which may be
effected, for example, by providing a holder e, for water with a tape or the like,
through which water drops in proper regulated quantity from the said holder e and
passes by the orifice f onto the sponge or other absorbent material.
The damper and water holder are shewn as being connected by brackets g and h
to a base which can be secured in place on the bench of the capsuling machine in
convenient proximity thereto to enable the operator immediately on removing the
bottle or the like from the absorbent material to insert it in the capsuling machine,
but the said parts may be supported in any other suitable way and position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. A device for damping the necks of bottles and the like the said device con-
sisting of a holder containing absorbent material both the holder and absorbent
material being perforated for the passage of the neck of the bottle or the like,
substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. A device constructed as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing for the purpose explained.
