7 Claims.

My invention relates to machines for applying closures to bottles, such as milk bottles, and is inclusive of a bottle positioner, a closure positioner, a closure seizing member, means for moving said member back and forth between the closure positioner and the location of the bottle mouths defined by the bottle positioner and means for releasingeach closure when conveyed to the bottle mouth.

As I have actually embodied my invention, it is employed for transferring closures that are in the form of skirted caps, the positioner for the caps holding the same in an inverted position above the position of the bottle, the cap holder serving to 16 prevent material upward movement of the cap being seized and permitting the withdrawal of the cap from its positioner by the seizing device.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the closure positioner is in the form of a maga- I zine having serrations which prevent upward movement of the caps and permit downward movement thereof.

The closure or cap seizing member is desirably in the nature of a suction cup, the means for moving the suction cup serving also to press the cup against the closure being seized whereby suction is effected which causes the cap to adhere to the cup. A vent valve for the cup is desirably employed, this valve being opened as the suction is established and thereafter being closed. A relief vent valve is also employed, preferably in addition to the other, which is opened when the cap has been applied to a bottle thereupon to cause the suction to cease and thereby allow the cap to remain upon the bottle. Where skirted caps are employed, the bottles are conveyed to a banding machine which applies bands around the cap skirts beneath the rims of the bottle mouths.

The invention will be more fully explained in connection with the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a machine employing well-known mechanism for filling bottles, applying disc closures to the bottle mouths, and thereafter applying other closures in the form of skirted caps, the cap placing mechanism ofmy invention being also shown in addition to the illustrated mechanism of the prior art; Fig. 2 is a plan view. of the machine illustrated in Fig. 1 with a portion removed and another portion shown in section; Fig. 3 is a sectional view online 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 3a is a side elevation of a part of the mechanism; Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a view showing a part of the mechanism of Fig. 4-. with portions in altered positions and other portions in section;

. desirably inclusive of fourupright bars 15 which faces.

Fig. 6 is a view, on a larger scale, of a part of the mechanism illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 with portions in section and in changed positions; Fig. '1

is a side view of the structure as it appears in Fig. 6, parts being broken away; Fig. 8 is a sectional co view, on a larger scale, on line 8-8 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 9 is a sectional plan view on line 9-9 of Fig. 7.

Thebottles 1 that are empty are fed by a'conveyor 2 upon the table 3 on which the bottles are positioned by astar wheel 4, as is well-known by those familiar with the art, the bottles being located in register with the valved outlets 5' in the bottom of the milk holding tank 6 The deflector 7 serves to direct the bottles from the table 3 upon adeck 8 along which the bottles are caused to travel, the bottles being first momentarily arrested in their tra el below the disc closure applying mechanism generally illustrated at 9, next below the skirted cap applying mechanism of my invention generally illustrated at 10 and serving 76 to place theskirted caps 11 upon the bottles, and finally below the band applying mechanism generally illustrated at 12, which serves to placethe bands 13 around the cap skirts and to crimp the bands when thus applied. g

All of the mechanism thus far referred to except the cap applying mechanism illustrated at 10, are so well-known to those familiar with the art as to require no further description. The cap applying mechanism is desirably inclusive of two uprightcap holding magazines 14 which are located abreast and in the line of travel of the bottles, the mechanism to be described serving to place caps upon two bottles at a time. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the bottles that are having caps placed thereon are supported by thedeck 8 in positions vertically beneath the magazines and register with'the caps contained in the magazines, these caps being transferred, one by one, from the magazines to the bottles. With this arrangement of the magazines, the caps, in nestedrelation, I are held'in inverted positions thereby. Each magazine is are equally spaced apart in a circle surrounding the caps. These bars are formed-withprongs 16 which engage intermediate portions of the cap skirts, these prongs serving to position the lowermost cap in readiness to be seized for transfer to the mouth of the underlying bottle. The 10bars 15 are serrated upon the sides thereof that are engaged by the cap'skirts, the serrations having horizontal faces and faces which slope upwardly and outwardly from the horizontal The serrations thus sloping and arranged,

permit the inverted skirted caps to be supplied to the magazines but hold the caps against upward pressure asthe lowermost caps are being seized for transfer to the bottles. The cap seizing members are desirably in the nature ofrubber suction cups 17 arranged in a pair. Thestems 18 of these cups have terminatingsleeve portions 19 which receive ahorizontal shaft 20 to which the sleeves are secured. Thecup stems 18 are desirably metallic and are threaded adjacent the cups to receive nuts 21 which serve to clamp desirably arranged to engage the bottom of the lowermost cap. When the cup has seized the cap, by means hereinafter more particularly described, it is moved downwardly from the position of Fig. 4 to the position indicated in full lines by Fig. 5 and is subsequently turned as indicated by dotted lines in Figures 5 and 6 into register with the underlying bottle and then lowered upon the bottle with the bottom of the cup upon the top of the bottle as indicated by full lines in Figure 6.

-When two,bottles have thus been capped, they are transferred to the band applying machine illustrated at 12 in Fig. 1 which operates thereon in a manner well-understood.

The mechanism for moving the suction cup from the position occupied by the lowermost skirted cap seized by the cup to the position occupied by the bottle mouth is desirably inclusive of a stationaryupright rack bar 25 having anuntoothed bar 26 alongside of it and formed with a recess 2? coextensive with the toothed portion of said rack bar. Across head 28 isvarranged to travel vertically upon theupright rod 29 and is reciprocated along this rod by means of the rotatedcrank 30 operating upon the. cross head through alink 31. This cross head has ayoke portion 32, whose ends are shaped intobearings 33 in which the aforesaidhorizontal shaft 20 is vjournaled. Asleeve 34 is disposed between thebearings 33 and is fixed upon the central portion of theshaft 20. This sleeve carries amutilated pinion 35 and asquare block 36 along side of this pinion. Thepinion 35 is, adapted to mesh with theteeth upon therack bar 25 and thesquare block 36 is close beside the pinion and in the plane of thebar 26. When thecross head 28 is in its intermediate position, thepinion 35 is in mesh with the rack bar. While-the pinion and rack bar are in mesh and the cross head is in vertical movement, theshaft 20 is rotated to rotate theblock 36, the rotation of this block being permitted by therecess 27 in thebar 26.

. when the pinion is moved out of mesh with the rack bar, a side of theblock 36 will be in full sliding engagement with thebar 26 either above or below therecess 27 according to the direction in which the cross head is beingmoved. When the cross head is being moved upwardly, the.

block 36 so engages thebar 26 as to place the suction cups '17 above the cross head and in register with the magazines. After the cups are thus initially placed in register with the magazines, they are moved upwardly in straight lines into contact with the bottom walls of the lowermost caps in the magazines, the cups then seizing the caps by suction preferably by the aid 0! the 1,94a,sss

instrumentalities hereinafter described. Having seized the caps, the cups are lowered, upon downward movement of the cross head, carrying with them the caps seized thereby, these caps being withdrawn from between theprongs 16 singly, theserrations 15 in thebars 15 of the magazines preventing material upward movement of the caps as they are undergoing seizure. The cups are moved vertically downward until thepinion 35 reengages therack bar 25 whereupon theshaft 20 is turned to bring the cups below thecross head 28 and in vertical alignment with the bottle mouths, theblock 36 engaging thebar 26 below the recess 2'7 when thepinion 35 loses its meshing engagement with the rack bar, theblock 36, in

further downward movement of the cross head,

maintaining sliding engagement with thebar 26 so that the caps seized by the cups are placed upon the bottle mouths that are in vertical alignment with the magazines.

I desirably provide a vent passage 3'7 which communicates with the interiors of the suction cups through the cup bottoms, this passage being continued through the cup stems 18 and thehollowbridge portion 38 joining these stems. 100 This bridge portion carriesa'vent valve 39 in the nature of a split rubber nipple which spreads apart at its split when the air is pressed through thevent passage 37 as the cups are pressed against the bottoms of the 'caps being seized. m5

When the seizing operation ceases, thevalve 39 will automatically close to maintain the established suction. This suction is maintained during the downward travel of the cups and the caps seized thereby and until the caps have been placed nearly in their lowermost positions upon the bottles. When the caps are nearing the lower limit of their travel, astationary lug 40 carried by thebar 26 engages the overhanging lip 41 of the valve, the lug opening the valve to permit the access of air to the passage 3'7 in order to relieve the vacuum in the cups to thereby permit the release of the cap from the cups. When the return upward movement of the cups is initiated, the valve lip 41 will leave thelug 40 to cutoil thepassage 37 from the external air at this point. The rods 42 will 'direct any caps that fall from'the cups toward and upon the bottles on which these caps may be properly placed by hand.

Changes may be made without departing from the invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:
