To all whom t 'may concern zen of the United States, residing at Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain vnew and useful Improvements in Bottle-Cleaning Machines, of which the following is a Specification.
My invention A'is concerned with a novel machine which I have designed fornutoinatically cleansing the interior of inilk hotties, but which, it will be apparent, could, with proper niodilications in design, be einployed to cleanse the interior of any sort oi a receptacle.
To illustrate my invention, l annex hereto toursheets of drawings in which the saine reference characters are used to designate identical parte in all the figures, of which-- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the ini-- chinerlig. 9. isa central vertical section tl'irougli the naine; Fig. 3 is a rear elevation in section on the line 5i-A, of Fig. 2; E 1g.

Upon a suitable hase 10, which .l have :shown as constructed of a pair ,of channel,
hars, are mounted three Standards, 11, 12, and 13. Jouriialed in the hearing 14, at the top of the standard l1, and in'a bearing formed in the center of the chamber piece l5 which is secured inthe collar 1G, constituting the top-ot the standard 12, ie a drivingehaft 17, which has mounted on the rear end thereof the fast and loose pulleys i8 and 19, with which the driving belt copcrates in the customary niaiiner. Secured .on the front end of the shat't 17 is a bevel gear wheel- 20 of the somewhat peculiar design shown, which iedeeigned to bring iteI teeth into engagement with the bevel gear. pinions 21, oiirnaled in the manner t'o be described.r in the inain carrier 22, which 'preferably takes the forni ofa disk having, the huh 239i' the shape liest shown onerose-section in Fig.

'l he outer end of the shaft 2G haej secured thereon the Geneva' stop driving nieinlier 2S), the driving roller 30 of which cooperates with the radial Slots of the Geneva Stop disk 31, which is rigidlwfv secured to the rear of the hub oi the carrier 22, as by the pins 32. The driven disk 31 is provided with as many radial slots as there are stations iii the complete rotation of the carrier disk, in the forni shown, eight. lVith thisconstruction, it 'will be apparent that cveryrotation of the Shaft 2G, the carrier will he advanced to a fresh position during a portion of the rotation of said Shaft, and held securely Afrom movement during the remainder of said rotation. The carrier is provided with a'corresponding plurality of clamps 33, which may be of anyY desired forni to receive and securely holdin bottle,-
and which. may be opened and closed auto-A l niatical y, but I prefer to use the simple. spring forni heet illustrated indetail 1n Figs.
S' and 9. where it will he Seen that the ears ilprojecting troni the tace of the disk 22 here secured thereto the pieces 35 which carry the curved alfine 36, which are of Spring'nietahand to which are secured thc jaws 3T, which likewise are preferably forined of spring nictal and have the curved ends 58 of the shape shown, which 'are adapted to Spread apart as the large part of the bottle is forced through them, and to' Spring back into place and rest againstthe bottoni of the hottie to hold it against any pressure of the cleaning fluid or anvthing else tending to accidentally displace them.
Journaled in the hearing forming a part ot the standard ,13, is the vertical shaftflO, the upper en d ot which han` secured thereto the carrier 41, which consists ot' a horizontal disk having toi-ined on its pe- 'iiphery a nuinher of pockets l2, corresponding ,to the nunilier of stations on the inain carrier. These pockets are 'adapted to have the bottles placed therein by the uttendant', as the machine operates, and I may inci'eaee the vertical faces of the pockets by i placing therein the metallic cylinders ;l3,' which vvvirtually form the upward extensions 'oft-he pockete.v Cent-ra ly located in the bottoms of each of the pockets is the aperture 44, through which is adaptedto v tom offg-thelbottle) of the pusher slide 46,
, corresponding Y vsprocket chain 53 15 vWhichis mounted to reciprocate verticallyx in the Ways'47, vformed on the back of the standard 13.
The lower end ofthe shaft 40 has secured thereon the miter-gear 48, meshing with the miter gear 49 secured on the. adjacent end of the short horizontal shaft 50 mounted to rotate 'in the bearing 51 formed in the Standard 13.' The other end of the shaft 50 has secured thereon the sprocket Wheel 52, which is ,driven bykthe from the same sized sprocket Wheel 54, secured on the hub of the main carrier 22, so that the two carriers rotate in unison.
The shaft 26 has secured thereon the cam 55, which preferably takes the form of the face cam Whose channel 56 contains t-he anti-friction roller 57 \secured on the linkbar 58, 'Whose slotted upper 'end'59 embraces the-shaft 26 'to hold the dink in position,
' and Whose lower end is pivotedto the crank arm 60, which is secured on th-center of the rock-shaft 61, Which is journaled in the at'270 degreesbearings 62 and 62a formed in the standards '11 and 1,2.
has secured thereon the crank-arm 68,
yWhose slotted outer end 64 embraces the pin 65 secured in the rear of the slide 46, so that at the proper time, at each revolution of the shaft 26, after the two carriers have been moved and are held at rest, the
bar 46 is raised up quickly to push the bottle which may be over it, up onto the clamp 33. The bottle remains in the clamp until itvreaches the discharge position, which is from the receiving position,
Whe'reit is discharged by,` suitable mechanism, consisting lof a slide-bar 66 mounted bar 66 is reciprocated roller 68 projecting to reciprocate in the Ways 67, supported from the standard 12. An anti-friction from the rear of this slide, takes into the channel 69 of the face cam 70, which is preferably made integral with the cam 55, so that the slide bar 66 is reciprocated at the proper time during the rotation of the shaft 26. A short Vertical slot 71 is provided in one end of the slide bar 66, and, ried by the outer end of the crank-arm 73, projects into this sl ot,-so that as the slidethe crank-arm 78 is likewise swung. This crank-arm 73is secured upon.V the short rock-shaft 74, journaled in thebea'ring 75, secured on the top of the Ways 67 and .having the crank-arm 76 secured on the other end. The outer end of the crank-arm 76 carries the lugv or antitioned to coperat'e with the flange 7 8, projecting rearwarcly from one end of the sliding'piece 79, which ably by means of a dove-tailed4 radialchan- The outer end of the shaft 61"- .may be made -time scrub itsv sui-facer" The" the anti-friction roller 72 carthe bottle also serves is mounted, prefer-- Ipreferably employ,
nelSO, to reciprocate in the carrier 22.
This sliding piece-7 9 carries. the collar r81,
Which,A in its inner position, as shownl in Fig. 2, surrounds the ftube 82 upon which 'the mout-h ofthe bottle'rests Wh'en held in 'the 'clamp 38,"
-As the slide 79 is shoved out radially, the c ollar 81, contacting with the flanged mouth ofthe bottle 83, shoves it olf on to the'c'arrier'84, which may consist' of a belt carried by suitablepulley Wheels, one of Which, 85, is' shown as journaled in an extensionv of the, bearing bracket in which the slide-ways 67 are formed. The
'other pulley of the-carrierv l(not shown) is supported om any suitable standard, and inorder to clarry the bottles away as fast'as they are discharged, motion is imparted to the belt from the sprocket Wheel v86, se-a cured upon the shaft26, by means o'f the chain 87, which meshes With the sprocket Wheel 8 8, journaled in-a bearing 89, beneath the bearing'90 of the pulley Wheel 85.v A gear Wheel 91 is secured to the sprocket wheel' 88, and meshes With the corresponding gear Wheel V92 lsecured to the pulley Wheel 85, so that the belt 84 is Aconstantly advanced in the proper direction at vthe proper speedto earryithe washed bott-lesV from the machine tothe point --at which it desired to deliver them.-
I provide a scraper 93, which vI have illustrated as' consisting of a brush of the proper size and shape, so that its bristles 'Will contact With the interior ofv the bottle-' The bristles of this brush vare secured upon 1the hollow stem 94, Which is suitably perforated,
rapidly rotated all the time the bottle, is.
over it, thus'securing an efficientand certain cleaning of the surface of thebottle., v The collar 82, against which the bottle rests, is held stationary by thefb-racket 95 securedv to or formed integrally With the face ofy the' carrier-'disk 22, and vbridgingtl'ie dove-tailed channel80. The clamp at the outer end-of to hold it stationary, so that'any tendency that the bottle might have to rotate With the brush is overcome.
