Application filed December '6, 1920, SerialNo. 428,498. Renewed March 1, 1924.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that SAMUEL S. MoKNIGH'r, citizen of the United States of America, residing at Youngstown, in the county of Mahoning and State of Ohio, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Crown-Feed Devices for Bottling Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a crown feed for automatic crown bottling machine.
The principal object is to simplify the parts of a crown bottling machine and at the same time make the action positive, in placing the crown at the top of bottle.
Another object is to attach at the bottom of a movable chute a swinging feed member provided with two arms and a centrally psitioned upturned tongue to arrest the slide of crowns in a crown chute when the process of crowning a bottle is taking place.
Vith these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel arrangements and combinations of parts which will be more fully set forth in the following description and claimed.
Figure 1 is a detail view partly in section and showing movement by means of dotted lines.
Figure 2 is a cross section taken on the line A-A of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a detail top plan view showing the crown in position as shown in a side view in Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a top plan view partly in section of the movable chute and the swing feed member.
By referring to Figure 1 it will be seen that I have not shown an entire bottling machine, but only such parts as are employed in placing the crown in the proper position for crowning. In machines of ordinary construction the bottles 1 are placed upon a circular revolving platform. After the fluid has been admitted into the bottle, the bottle is lifted upwardly so that the edge 2 of the neck 3 of the bottle 1 comes into contact with the edge 4c of a crown 5. This lifts the crown 5 over the dogs 6 (see Figs. 1 and 3), and is forced out over the bottle 1 by the crown pusher finger 11. The notch on the end of the crown pusher finger 11 fits over the edge 1 of the crown 5.
The movable chute 7 is hinged by means of a pin 8 which passes through the support guide bars 9. By referring to- Figure 1 it will be seen that I have represented the port block 10 as closed in the solid lines and open in the dotted lines. This port block is provided with the crown pusher finger 11 which is caused to act so that when the port block 10 is seated against the lip 13 of the port hole 14 the crown pusher finger 11 slides back in the port block 10 and is at tension against the crown 5.
Now when this port block 10 is automatically carriedso as to close the port hole 14 the upper edge 16 of the end of the crown pusher finger 11 comes in contact with the swing feed member 17 swinging the same upwardly until the edge 18 comes in contact with it and pushes it against the movable chute 7. The upturned tongue 19 centrally located on the swing feed member 17 passing through opening 20 (see Fig. 1) and pressing under the second crown 5 forces the same against the upper portion of movable chute 7. The arms 22 fit underneath the movable chute 7.
The swing feed member 17 is hinged to the pin 8 which also supports the movable chute 7.
In operation the bottle 1 is carried upwardly lifting the crown 5 from the dogs 6 when the crown pusher finger 11 pushes the crown in position over the bottle 1, and into the throat 23 of the machine. Now when the crown 5 has been crimped on the bottle it is automatically lowered and another bottle revolved into position for filling. At this time the port block goes back as shown in the dotted lines, allowing the movable chute 7 to swing downwardly by gravity until the end rests upon the crown platform 24: (see Figures 1 and 3). At this time the swing feed member also moves downwardly, releasing the crowns in the movable chute 7 and in the chute 25 which leads to any suitable crown hopper. The gravity force of these crowns cause the same to push a crown against the dogs 6. This action is carried on over and over again.
By referring to Figure 1 it will be seen that I have shown a plunger 26 provided with a gasket 27 which seats upon an annular flange 28 of a body portion 29 of the machine. In order to keep the crown 5 from jumping over the dogs 6, I have provided a spring tensioned pin 30. i
What I claimis: ,1 j
5 In a device of the class described, an inclined crown chute pivotally mounted adjacent its upper end and having an opening in its lower portion, a member beneath said chute pivotally mounted co-axially there- X with and adapted to be moved into engagement with said chute to swing it in one direction and a tongue on said member adapted to enter the opening in said chute to arrest'the movement of crowns therein.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
